Wheel Question

from GalCiv3 Forums

I am confused by moving the slider in the wheel.  I thought i understood that moving it changes the multiplier for the civilization as in a slider at 33% research takes production  and multiplies it by 33%.  This would seem that if you have the slider set to 100% that would be the most research that you could produce.   I do not find this to be the case, and i was hoping someone can explain it to me.  

For example i just start a game as the Thalan with no buildings or anything build yet.  i have

33% Wealth = 7  33% Manufacturing = 9  33% Research = 8

100% Wealth = 10  100% Manufacturing = 12  100% Research = 11

but if i mix then i can get higer numbers than the 100%

71% Research = 13 29% Manufacturing = 6

So i get more research at 71% than at 100%

 

Please help!  I'm so confused.

Pushing spending to the edge of the wheel adds activates coercion.  The farther towards the edge, the greater the coercion penalty.

The coercion penalty negatively impacts Raw production and moral.  Moral, if too low, can further penalize raw production among other things.

Raw production is the base from which your wealth/ manufacturing/ and research allocations come before modifiers (improvements, racial traits, etc.).

The wheel allocates your Raw Production among them.

Hope that's clearer.

Thanks for the reply!  I have a follow up question about planet specialization.  If I click to specialize as research i seem to loose total productivity. Like research goes up but there is more loss to manufacturing and wealth. I hope that makes sense. Is this for the same reason?
