Gains

[Celahir]

hi,

i was wondering. What are your gains based on? Network? or acres?

thanks in advanced!

you dont need to calc anything

just make sure to hit someone that is close to your nw size
and with as much acers as possible on the enemy side

(watch out also from war, gb protection ,....)

It is based a bit on both, networth is what it is primarily based on though, first make sure the province is close to your own NW. You gain a percentage of the enemy's land so the more he has the more you gain.

Just elaborating on what AFKain said, yes it's primarily NW based, a nice range to hit that gives good gains is 85 - 110% of your own networth. Land then falls secondarily. The max amount of land you can gain in a hit is capped at 20% of your land or his, whichever is lesser. This cap is increased to 22% during wars.

so what is better for yourself to have; as high as possible NW with the same amount of acres, or as less NW possible with the same amount of acres?

its not the same amount of acres.... pffff
its the same amount of NW + the enemy should be more acres then you (=fat)
and dont wanto to be fat so you will have less acres then him plus there is the 20% range

fat for you = bad!

since when was the 20% cap raised to 22% in war, puppy?

Its better to have LOW NW, LOW acres, HIGH mod off/def, if you want the best gains and to take the least damage.

20% normal max gains, + 10% explore pool = 22% :-)
