Has CBM changed more than just scale effects (basic income)?
Its even for provinces with no unrest and no admin.
Or any Idea how it is really done?
Example: Pop 5260, Basic Income 52,6 Scales: Order 3 Growth 3 Heat 1 Sloth 1, 100% tax no unrest.
Ingame Income: 57
1st case: 18%+6%-4%-5%=15%; 52,6*1,15=60,49
2nd case: 1,18*1,06*0,96*0,95=1,141; 52,6*1,141=60,01
3rd case: 1,06³*1,02³*0,96*0,95=1,153; 52,6*1,153=60,63
Nothing near 57. I am puzzled.
We are more in the region of a scale Effect of 8%: 57/52,6=1,084
I also tried rounding to full digits, doesn't do the trick either.
Another province with the same scales has 9080 pop, basic income 90,8, actual income 101.
So actual scale effect for this province is roughly 11% (101/90,8=1,112).
Am I missing something?

You're remark about rounding to full digits got me thinking and, after a little trial-and-error, I think I've found a pattern that matches both examples: A) base income of 52.6 and B) base income of 90.8
1) Reduce base income to a whole number
a) 52.6 => 52
b) 90.8 => 90
2) Multiply the first positive scale (order's +18%) and reduce to whole number
a) floor(52 * 1.18) = floor(61.36) = 61
b) floor(90 * 1.18) = floor(106.2) = 106
3) Multiply the next positive scale (growth's +6%) and reduce to whole number
a) floor(61 * 1.06) = floor(64.66) = 64
b) floor(106 * 1.06) = floor(112.36) = 112
4) Multiply by the first negative scale (heat's -5%) and reduce to whole number
a) floor(64 * 0.95) = floor(60.8) = 60
b) floor(112 * 0.95) = floor(106.4) = 106
5) Multiply by the second negative scale (sloth's -4%) and reduce to whole number. Since there are no other income modifiers, this is the final income for the province for this turn.
a) floor(60 * 0.96) = floor(57.6) = 57
b) floor(106 * 0.96) = floor(101.76) = 101
That "reduce to whole number" and sequential multiplication really reduces the efficacy of positive scales and heightens the effects of negative scales!
