So we played two games, here are the links to the tables: Through the Ages and Stone Age.
In both games, there were 4 players, and everyone was playing for the first time.
In Through the Ages, the Elo ratings gain was 45/15/1/1, while in Stone Age it was 60/20/1/1.
Why is that difference?

It has to do with this.

The c factor (mentioned in the linked thread) will be different for Through the Ages and Stone Age.

Unfortunately, I don't think that all the implemented c factors are publicly available somewhere.

Thank you for your reply, that's a very relevant thread.
