What I'm trying to figure is... when does UD have 10%? With 50+% elites? Never?
Because doubling is nice, but does it mean... 100% spec = 20%, 99.99% spec = 10%? "sliding scale" says NO. So, my question arises, how does this slide? from 10 to 20%? from 100% to 0% elites (0-100% specs)?
What is the target number of elite % devs have in mind for us to work with?
So its only affected by the amout of ospecs/elites sent? And not be the amount of ospecs/elites you HAVE?
e.g. I have 10k ospecs and 5k leets. I attack with only ospecs, will my converstion rate be maximum, or will it take into account that i have leets at home i didnt send?
conversion is based on all your army; here we have 2 problems:
1. conversion rate value is based on all your army (@home + sent); if you have elites (no matter where) the conversion will be lower than 20% (we don't have the formula of how this will go lower yet)
2. converted troops represents OffSpecs sent * ConversionRate
for justhoop: in your example you will convert 10k (Off Specs sent) * 10% (conversion rate because you have 5k elites)
I still have a question for Bishop: elites number that will influence conversion rate is based on the report of elites vs what? If is elites/offspecs conversion rate will drop faster than if it's elites/total population or elites/ total army (off specs, def specs, thieves)
He said that it's offense ratio based so it's elites/o-specs.Quote:

Not having to settle for a 5/0 (or actually in the case of humans 4/0) spec instead of an 8/3 elite isn't a military benefit during war? It's not a direct military bonus, but the indirect bonus of the extra income = more elites trained during war.Quote:

Just wanna check, ORC's +30% gains, does it include magic spells too?
yeah if u go human merchant...so that gives you no war bonuses... and without merchant +20% income is not enuf to pump elites in war... tho u will have to since ospec sucks!!! ambush imunity or +1 ospec would make it more useful in war then just as a bankQuote:

From my point of view there is a missing "(". Where should I put it? Not that this may change something in the new age setup, but ...
Your missing opening bracket would go before the 4/3.
ie. It should be: Base Military Efficiency = (4/3*(Wage Rate^3)-(8*(Wage Rate^2))+ 22.26*Wage Rate+84.4) * GBP
^beat me to it
no, attacks only - and then only on attacks were you gain something - so trad, learn, plunder.Quote:

I notice noone has the +1 off spec... Faery could definatly use that.
Also something i always thought would be neat, is combine barracks/stables.... where an army with 50% horses/troop ratio go certain amount faster. and 100% horse/troop ratio goes even faster.
as it stands right now I dont think any serious attackers USE stables... as they are only usefull once your training grounds pass 20%+
Why so serious?Quote:
