civic3-loadout-developer-registry.html and the-bestiary-mvp.html. It does not duplicate either file's full records. Amendment/Bestiary Box 1+4 tags below are a drafted starting dataset, not final — cross-check against the source registries before treating any single row as locked.
The reusable unit stamped on every amendment, every piece of equipment, and every Bestiary entry. Box 1 and Box 4 are identity — fixed forever. Box 2 and Box 3 are magnitude — they move constantly with tier and level. This split is why a 1st Amendment Sword never becomes a different weapon at Tier 5; it just gets bigger.
| Match type | Multiplier | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| Axis match + Move-Type match | ×1.5 | Super Effective |
| Axis match + Move-Type mismatch | ×1.0 | Effective, unremarkable |
| Axis mismatch | ×0.25 | Weak — "swinging at air" |
| Situation | Multiplier | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| Actor-type matches | ×1.0 | Normal |
| Mismatch | ×0.5 | The Carpenter v. United States gap — real, citable, never a full miss |
| Wrong meter entirely (CTP tool vs CDP stat, or reverse) | ×0.1 | Barely registers |
Threat scales with the relative gap between a player's total stack and an opponent's — not absolute tier number. Diminishing, never fully zero, even at maximum differential. Low-tier farming at high player power is intended and safe; play at or near a player's own actual power band stays genuinely dangerous.
The Field Model (see Parcel Field Model doc) never touches Box 1 or Box 4. It exclusively feeds the pre-existing Terrain/Context line already visible in every Power Delta breakdown. A parcel's live-computed Effective Value — intrinsic properties + government layers + institutional emission + ward strength + historical memory — is the real source of that number. Rule: Field Model → magnitude only. Combat Formula → identity and type-matching only. They compose, never override.
The Economic line's actor-type shift is the clearest in-game teaching moment for the whole Public/Private mechanic — Loan Office (Tier I) is Private, Treasury Liaison (Tier V) is Public, same axis, same color, different Box 4 entirely.
