The tool is very complicated and raw as it has so many Inputs. Even if I made it public there was basically nobody who would even try to use it, and the work to put into was probably not worth it.
But I explain how it basically works here:

In-depth look on early-game food value and market boom abuse (theoretical evaluation)

Here is why the exponential decrease is the only one which can work as an approximation: All other decreases would mply a time-dependancy, so the same investment would be valued differently, just because it was made earlier or later. Here an example how this would look like, if we would set the value of a vil at the beginning of the game == 0 after 50 minutes gametime with a) an exponential and b) a quadratic decrease. In the exponential the reduced investment cost would place the new vil righ…

I think I made another Thread about this but I can’t find it. Probably also someone else made the thread and it was just part of my reply there.

The actual Picture of booming potential of the civs looks like this:

The orange bar is for how long it takes to be “fully boomed” with the used buildorder (FC into 4 TC boom) and the blue indicates for an approximate optimisation potential by changing that build according to the civs strengths.
