I'll do my best to contribute to your weedometer:



The Rathaus give 75% decrease in maintenance costs, a courthouse gives 50% decrease in maintenance cost. That is 1.5x effectiveness. Also the base cost is of course 120 hammers but I do realize that you're organized.

Burning down a rathaus is 2x as effective as burning down a courthouse, as burning down a rathaus gives a city 4x maintenance costs, whereas burning down a courthouse just gives a 2x increase in maintenance costs.

Now feel free to reciprocate and out any errors in my comments.

sure. i meant from the point of view of what you pay. with a courthouse you pay 50% of full cost; with rathaus you pay 25% => rathaus is twice as effective. say your maintenance costs are 8 gold/turn. with a courthouse you pay 4/turn. with a rathaus you pay 2 gold/turn. you pay 50% of what you'd pay with a courthouse. x=0.5y => y=2x

by the same token if a building twice as effective as the rathaus existed, it would reduce maintenance costs by 87.5%. that building would halve my maintenance costs with respect to the rathaus - so it would be twice as effective. i was looking at it from that perspective
