how sure are you about 32 and 56? that's based on my experience... no definite... the formula may differs

i've asked before, but nobody gave me an answer.. however lowest I got from a Non-Rep was 32 and highest 56.

Celphi, you gotta stop creating so many threads. Please keep all the formula questions in 1 thread.

Troops * 0.5
Jets * 0.6
Turrets * 0.6
Tanks * 2
Spies * 1
Land * 45
Buildings * 35 (Yes this implies a built acre is 80 NW)
TotalTechPoints * 2
Money / 20000
Food / 1000 (Rounded Off)
Missiles * 2500
Population / 6
Oil / 100

the reason why the networth doesnt tally because he has alot of military on the market.

so many mistakes this set.. definately not enough booze.. actually I didnt have any this weekend.

Next weekend is a different story. :P

I actually forget to removed my standing order for bushels too and bought back 40m food at 34/35 but had to sell it at 25 on private..

You purchased 3831600 Troops and 1631433 Oil barrels for $887,422,335.


bahahaha

how many turrets were you running netsquaah at 27m acres for someone to double tapped you.

sorry, the forums couldnt read the small font for to the power of -1 and -2

government is a factor when calculating ur optimum bpt

you do not want to build 320 CS as a dict to build 15k acres..

no our formula differs. I'll post more when I go home tonight

you can't, maybe vic over sent by 10 times

That's wrong..


The following exact formulas is used to determine BPT. Current Dictatorship has a bonus factor of 0.7 and Theocracy 1.4.
BPT = RoundOff( RoundDown(CS/4 + 5) * GvtConstrBonus )
This might look like a mess to you with rounding off and down, so the following quick formula is provided to give a close estimate.
BPT = (CS/4 + 5) * GvtContrBonus
During the course of your Earth career, you will almost invariably wonder what is the Ideal BPT to build supposing you wish to build a certain amount of acres. The Ideal BPT formula is obtained after differentiating the following simplified formula, and then equating the result to 0 to find the minimum point.
Turns to build = CS + AcresToBuild/BPT
Turns to build = (BPT/GvtConstrBonus - 5)*4 + AcresToBuild/BPT
Turns to build = 4/GvtConstrBonus*BPT - 20 + AcresToBuild*(BPT)-1
d(turns)/d(BPT) = 4/GvtConstrBonus - AcresToBuild*(BPT)-2
Equating this to 0:
0 = 4/GvtConstrBonus - AcresToBuild*(BPT)-2
AcresToBuild*(BPT)-2 = 4/GvtConstrBonus
AcresToBuild*GvtConstrBonus/4 = (BPT)2
BPT = Sqr(AcresToBuild*GvtConstrBonus/4)
Ideal BPT = SquareRoot( AcresToBuild * GvtConstrBonus / 4 )

since techers not gonna win this set, lets topfeed netsquash.

of course, you need to have some farms or indies at the start like 300-400 to fund for your buildings at 2k land.

I didnt know of a CS formula.

I doubt there'll will be an earthquake destroying only 25 buildings at turn 1,000 unless you stay as a 2k land country.

Celphi, I believe all techers get to their optimum bpt before anything else in all servers except primary due to the fact if you concentrated too much on bpt at the start you might fall behind and never climb up again due to the low turn count.

the actual formula for bpt is Sqr(AcresToBuild*GvtConstrBonus/4) , so if you're a theo wanting to build 15k acres, thats sqrt(15k*1.4/4) = 72 and for a 15k dict, thats sqrt(15k*0.7/4) = 51.

Optimum bpt is based on the formula, sqrt(land to be built/4)
As a techer , you would like to get your bpt up before you do any grabbing. So for example you are at 1k acres, your land goal is 15k, and you might have around 1k indies for spies, in total you will have to build 14k + conver 1k indies = 15k acres, so your optimum bpt is about 61. Go higher if you think you might get hit or get retalled.

Generally as a techer in express, you would want to start stocking for half of the set, turn 950-1000 onwards.

I got to 17k acres by turn 930 with couple of retals/hits at the start. Better for you to bottomfeed than mid feed. Mid feeding might risk in retals. and when you get retaled as a techer, it really hurts more than other strat.

Definately a bad tech set. massive amt of tech stucked.

sorry I meant country D is non gdi

how does it hurt more Marshal?

25 buildings for example CI, produces 64 turrets in 1 turn * 3000 turns in a set = 192,000 turrets = 115k nw

better now then later.

Tested.

All countries are 10k acres, 1.15m nw
Country A GDI
Country B NON GDI
Country C GDI

Country A hits Country B : 864 acres
Country A hits Country C : 864 acres


All countries are 10k acres, 1.15m nw
Country D NON GDI
Country E NON GDI
Country F GDI

Country D hits Country E : 958 acres
Country D hits Country F : 958 acres


Conclusion: Countries in GDI countries have a -10% gains when attacking someone(be it GDI or non-GDI).

Wow , I didnt know that. lol
Even if you knew this, are you not going to join GDI?

the set i took a break from had such nice tech prices?! tech gonna be $1500 next set :)

you need to name your country "Better than LATC"

winner 114m, 10th place 84m

How many missiles are you allowed to hold?

isnt it 1 missile per 250 acres?

the graphs do not reflect 5 minute updates, as it says clearly, average price above the graph. thats why the only way to verify what KOH said was true is to watch the 6/12/24/72 hour updates next set if he happens to be able to sell $50-$100 food.

I havent read the code from qzjul bots, or rather I dont know how to read them. But from my point of view, the bots login to often and they are 'taught' to place prices between a certain percentage, so for example food on the market right now is $36 and their range to place is say +10/-10% , they will place all their food at $32-$39, and the cycle repeats every hour or so.

it just means it started selling from day 2.

Well, we'll just have a look from in-game market news next set.

http://www.eestats.com/primary/market
click on 6/12/24/72 hours. What about this? Im sure this updates every 5 mins
too bad its not shown for previous sets

yea you're right, its drawn to each day's average, the average seen on the graph is already clear enough. if you take a look at the sets before bots were introduced, there were peaks for bushel prices(when techers are stocking). now its just a flat $33-$40 line.

I dont think the bots care if they get suicided on.
And if the bots are in GDI and they get multi tapped, they wont have the tanks to AB you back.

I think bots should not never be in GDI, this gives them an all round defence and one day when they are able to fight back, people will be afraid to multitap if they have troops and tanks.

By running just pure jets/turrets, people will just farm them.

Same goes for bombing airbases. Im not exactly sure of the #s but its something like either maximum of 3% of enemy jets or maximum of 4% of your own jets, whichever is lower.

So for example, if you have 1m jets and and opponent has 10m jets, your results from bombing airbases will be limited to 40,000 per op.

How long did you play the entire set? 3 mins? Im sure eestats didnt capture most of the set you were playing.
Eestats updates every 5 mins. Unless your ALL your food was sold in that 5 min time frame then yes eestats might not have captured it.

lol bot killers? how many bot killers are there? how many bots can you kill in 1 set. I think that's the least concern

whats the point of them joining GDI?

just saying that he could have done better and there's room for improvement.

http://www.eestats.com/express/oldmarket/758
click on bushels, highest point sold was about $41 almost at the last hour
click on jets, average was about $140
click on turrets, average was about $140, they were never below $130

what are you talking about?

why is this a bug?

Missiles returns are based on your own country too.

#28 had only 800+ acres when he did those missiles therefore his returns on his missiles attacks are also greatly reduced.

qzjul you have to do something about the bots. ever since bots were introduced, food has never been above $40, military prices were $150 and above. I've bought over 80m bushels last set between $30-$33.. Im sure a huge part of this food comes from the bots.

Such a crappy tech set. Tech was 2000 on 3rd day, 1400 4th day and 1000 on 5th day. Food didnt go above $40. I had 100m food stocked but none of them sold so I didnt finish up.

Expected a 43m-45m finish from Netsquash with perfect market conditions like this + you didnt get retalled. No idea what you did wrong but when I spied you at turn 1298, I knew you were nt gonna break 40m.

just wondering why did qzjul placed back the flat rate of 8 percent military losses. it's was fine before that.

20m food is nth.

at least you earned 40 cents from the rounding up

nooooo.. no more 100 jet PS

im positive, you can check my country news.
