Shop Item Appearance

from Elemental Forums

Lots of items appear in shops (leather armor, soldier's cloaks, etc) but have no <Shop Value> tag.  Does anyone know what the mechanism is that caused these to appear in the shops and how is the purchase price calculated?

To make an item appear in the shop, it either needs a tech prereq, or a line like this

<UnlocksShopItem>SaltedPork</UnlocksShopItem>

in the cityhub improvementtype. ShopValue does not cause items to appear, but it can keep them out of the shop by using shopvalue -1.

If there is no shopvalue tag, the price of an item in the shop is automatically calculated, but I don't know the formula.
