About this converter
Stellaris 4.4 prices most edicts in Unity upkeep per month, scaled by empire size at 1 percent per size point. Cheap Unity edicts cost 10: Fortify the Border, Nutritional Plenitude, Fleet Supremacy, Map the Stars, Diplomatic Grants and Extended Shifts. Mid edicts cost 15 and 20: Storm Attraction Field at 15, Bureau of Espionage and Greater Than Ourselves at 20. Subsidy edicts cost 30: Capacity, Mining, Farming, Forge and Research Subsidies. Decrees top here at 75: A Grand Fleet, Will to Power and Hearts and Minds each cost 75 to start and 75 per month. One decree equals 7.5 cheap edicts or 2.5 subsidies. Every figure here is the base upkeep cell from the Paradox Wiki Edicts page pinned to PC 4.4.
How to use it
Pick two edicts and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first edict, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in Unity. Try 1 A Grand Fleet decree against 1 Fortify the Border, then click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Base upkeep means size 0 math before the empire size term. A size 100 empire pays double the base. Edict Fund covers Unity upkeep up to its cap from Imperial Cult, Executive Vigor and traditions, and overflow comes from storage. Old Influence edict costs from pre 3.0 builds are retired and stay out. Omitted: Campaigns that cost energy or food, strategic resource edicts that cost gases or crystals, and Sacrifices that cost pops, because they use no Unity upkeep.
FAQ
What is the cheapest edict upkeep here?
10 Unity base. Fortify the Border, Nutritional Plenitude, Fleet Supremacy, Map the Stars, Diplomatic Grants and Extended Shifts all sit at 10.
How much is a decree edict?
75 Unity base to start and 75 per month. A Grand Fleet and Will to Power are the examples here.
Do wide empires pay more?
No. Each point of empire size adds 1 percent, so a size 100 empire pays double the base shown here.
Do these edicts still cost Influence?
No. Pre 3.0 builds used Influence, but PC 4.4 uses Unity upkeep with an Edict Fund cap, so Influence rows stay out.
