Plan transparent difficulty scaling

The problem

Costs that increase unpredictably can feel unfair.

Practical procedure

Publish or teach the rule governing cost escalation and verify the displayed price before confirmation.

Worked scenario

A tower upgrade costs 50 then 75 then 112.5 when using a 1.5 multiplier.

Acceptance check

Check rounding rules and ensure the next price is visible before a player spends resources.

Apply the method

Use the related interactive tool to try the concept on an inspectable example. Record the starting assumptions and expected result before changing settings, then compare what the tool actually does. Where the result differs, keep the release marked experimental and document the discrepancy.
