Building's Efficiency

BUILDING'S EFFICIENCY

Here are some documents I've made for myself in order to find out and compare buildings' efficiency, their costs, and their productivity for different production periods. The various production periods are meant both for those who login very infrequently, and for those who login permanently :-)
If you find any errors, please let me know and I'll update. I'll also take any suggestions as how to improve these documents.

Residential Buildings

These numbers are good but do not take into account the need for roads. Smaller units will need more roads overall so can work out with lower per square numbers than larger units.

As a suggestion, how about using extra squares in your efficiency calculation that equals the shortest length of the building divided by 2 (assumes most efficient layout of city; shortest length of road and buildings both sides of it) e.g. a 4x5 unit occupying 22 squares.

Yep, I mentioned an identical thing in a post about 'the best' production buildings. Gain per tile is often miscalculated by neglecting the need of additional roads for each building you need to best a large building that merely need 1 tile of road.

The Graveyard provides different amounts of happiness depending on which age you got it (built it?), as far as I've experienced, it goes like this:

Iron Age: +500 happiness
EMA: +710 happiness
LMA: +800 happiness

not that it would make much of a difference.

Great job btw, thanks for sharing.
