 Topic: Change to %age reduction calculation
Posted: 24 Sep 2011 at 17:50 |
Hi everyone,
Due to what can only be described as a monumental mathematical mistake, we're changing the way many of the new T2 "multiple buildings" calculate their improvement (or upkeep reduction) numbers.
Instead of:
- Building 1 = Full Bonus (eg +20%)
- Building 2 = Full Bonus divided by 2 (eg +10%)
- Building 3 = Full Bonus divided by 3 (eg +6.66%
- Building 4 = Full Bonus divided by 4 (eg +5%)
- etc
We're moving the system over to consistent halving with each new building.
- Building 1 = Full Bonus (eg +20%)
- Building 2 = Full Bonus divided by 2 (eg + 10%)
- Building 3 = Full Bonus divided by 4 (eg + 5%)
- Building 4 = Full Bonus divided by 8 (eg + 2.5%)
- etc
This change has gone into immediate effect for the Arctic Warfare College, Jungle Warfare College and Desert Warfare College, and will shortly be rolled out to the upkeep reduction buildings as well.
Apologies for this sudden change.
Regards,
SC

I was wondering if my math was right on it originally... I was waiting for someone else to comment on it. Nearly a DOH! moment there SC.

I think I might have an inclination about what the mistake might have been...
1.5% reduction in troop costs per level...
first builing reduction at level 20 = 30%
second " " " " " = 45%
third " " " " " = 55%
4th = 62.5%
etc.
etc.
etc.
15th = 99.54%
16th = 101.42% reduction in troop costs... means you are generating gold by owning troops...
good job SC/TD I love you guys

And by the way... incase anyone is now wondering/unaware:
Max possible bonus (assuming infinite buildings) is just TWICE the bonus of a single level 20 building.
Personally I would prefer to see a reduction by 1/3 with each successive building:
1st building: 30%
2nd: 20%
3rd: 13.33%
4th: 8.889%
5th: 5.96%
etc.
Which gives max bonus -> less than 90%.

Insanity!
 Unless you're honestly saying you want to see the possibility of 1 million unit armies in a single town...?!

I guess that is already possible... it just requires a little gold redistribution. ^^

Well, possibly; but we don't mind an "effort" factor playing a part in this - it's the "balanced town" scenario that's the scary one!

All resource plots and supporting buildings at level 20, you'd have nearly 12500 + 40% = ~17,000 production, at 25% tax. Even with close to 100% tax you'd still have slightly less than 9,000 resource per hour and no more buildings to build. At your size and mine, we can only dream about all that!
