Banks Vs Arms

[Dillbert]

I like armouries in protection, I make sure I have enough to save at least 100gc per spec, it really helps getting a good start.

@ dillbert yep, i was trying to model it, but excell is not my programming environment :) and nothing else to work on at work :)

i guess it is now clear that we should throw in a few arms during protection, but let's take a 2k acres province for example. that is pretty much common size through the age. and let's have 65% draft, 10% pop sci, 10% income
i'd love to help with the calculation, but not sure how. especially when i can't find all the formulas

[Diego]

I have a split of 30% Banks and 20% Arms. For Elf, isn't that good enough?

[Utopia4life]

by OOP I should have rougly 35% banks / 28% armouries.

(im not going with high towers/guilds about 8-12% each, and letting homes% fall, and keeping the 10% farms rate)

35% banks
28% arms
10% farms
12% towers
8% guilds
7% homes

will probably be what I look like at OOP <_<

[Uncle]

i'd guess that'd be somewhat of an attacker?!

[Utopia4life]

yeah ;)

I need tons of units more than anything, and no theres no stables or TGs in there, they ll come though with time.

[Toadi]

Attackers don't need Armouries that much, Stables and Training Grounds will provide more income OOP.

[Utopia4life]

play style.. I prefer doing it this way.

TG/Stables = more with less.
Armouries/banks in insame amounts = about same, more when you add on TGs/Stables later.

also as elf your not really gonna lose them that fast, even if your employing a more units to attack methode.

what the draft cost per soldier?

[Utopia4life]

100gc/soldier I think. (less for orcs)

[lala]

and our pop grow at what rate?

say 6000 * ????? for next hour? = ?????

[Utopia4life]

2.25 BR and 1.27 (+27%) or so from homes (drop as acres come in) as BR. (first 24hours or so before buildings come in)

so you can assume a BR around 2.85% (draft rate takes about 1% pr hour into soldiers)

[Esairu]

aww crap i think i forgot about arms....oh well....

For Dark Elf

Since you are going to be dicing.

10% homes (default)
10% farms
40% banks
40% guilds

Do not build mills or raze anything to build arms. Dice to 600 or so acres and TOG rest of your mana.
