In the “Commoner’s Economy” Rule, replace
an amount of Coal (a number defaulting to the median value among Commoners, or 50 if the median would be undefined), and amounts of
with
and amounts of Coal,
and replace
(numbers defaulting to the median value among Commoners, or 0 if the median would be undefined)
with
(numbers defaulting to the median values among Commoners, rounding up to an integer if necessary)
.
Throughout the Ruleset, replace any instances of “Inventors” with “Commoners”.
Now that resource amounts have been initialized (50 coal, 0 others), the median will always be defined, so we drop references to starting with 50 Coal and 0 of other Resources, and just treat all Resource initialization equally. In the case of an even set of data, the median is sometimes a half-integer, so we have to specify how to round. This fix will work regardless of whether Iron gets replaced by Copper, Wood gets dropped, or Cogs get added in the list of Resources due to certain pending proposals.
Though I’d personally prefer rounding down.
