They are displayed as integers. But are they calculated as integers or as decimals?

Back in Earth 2025, I gathered data which indicated that in Earth 2025, they were calculated as decimals.

I've not yet gathered data in Earth Empires to determine whether or not they are rounded off for display purposes only, or rounded off for both display and calculation.

It is my expectation that if someone had 16 non-Republic countries at 1924 acres and explored for ~50 turns on each one, that they would find an average of 39.5 acres gained through exploration, rather than an average of 40 acres.

Has anyone gathered data to show whether or not this is the case?

decimals, I think qz said somewhere that.
Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

I asked QZ, and he said its rounded to integers for calculation purposes, and that it was that way in the old game, too. I wish I still had the spreadsheet I made ~6 years ago keeping track of all my explore gains during bulk explores - when you bulk explore, its a large enough sample size that the random factor is essentially mitigated, and combining over a dozen bulk explores together can tell you whether or not gains are decimal or integer based.

But apparently my data led me to the wrong conclusion.

yea its rounded and rounding seems to be downwards.
