Change to %age reduction calculation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

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%.

	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 Edited by Createure - 24 Sep 2011 at 18:37

	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.

	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
