Re: RFE: corruption should depend on the effective distance to the capital

Isn't that rather trivial? store a distance_to_capital number per world  tile, and recompute that whenever a road is built. When calculating the  actual corruption, multiply by a factor that takes into account  technology and wonders.
  
  Would corruption be determined per tile, or for the city as a whole, using either an average or min/max approach?

However, how would you write the rules for this such that it is not
necessary for the CPU to rebuild an entire city distance anytime a new
road is built?

And the telegraph and telephone would reduce effective distance as well.

(waste is not displayed in some clients, unfortunately)
