Land Grabbing

[Freenhult]

I don't mean let's decide to revert or let's decide to build a new system. Its going to be EITHER one of the other. Depends if we can find the old code.

I'd just suggest forgetting about what the old stuff is if we can't get it in about 3 days time. So let's just dicuss/throw out new ideas for land.

My first thought is a % range grab. IE: You can get about 5-8% of the total land, with a min of 100 until the 500 limit. Modify numbers as you see fit. But theoretically you should be able to get quite a bit in say, 12 attacks.

code: Select all

 Quick Math on that:
50,000 land would go down at 8% to 19981.97 acres.  A 61% decrease
At 5% it would take you down to 28,440 acres exactly.  A 44% decrease

Other systems are hard coded ranges, exponential/logarithmic systems... Taylor series.

Here's what we have now:

code: Select all

#Strategy Balancing Variables
$config['buildings_always'] = 1; # Whether to capture buildings with all attacks (1), or only standard attacks (0)
$config['landloss_mult'] = 0.25; # Multiplier for land lost in attacks, military only
$config['landloss_mage_mult'] = 0.33; # Multiplier for land lost in mage attacks
$config['scout_mage_mult'] = 0.25; # Multiplier for land gained in mage scout
$config['popbase_capacity'] = 1.10; # Multiplier for maximum worker capacity
$config['popbase_loss_rate'] = 0.90; # Multiplier for worker loss rate

and

code: Select all

$config['landmult'] = 2.5; #Multiplier for the amount of land gained while scouting
$config['cashmult'] = 1.0; #Multiplier for the amount of cash gained while cashing
$config['foodmult'] = 1.0; #Multiplier for the amount of food generated while farming
$config['runesmult'] = 1.0; #Multiplier for the amount of ruins generated while gathering ruins.
$config['indmult'] = 1.5; #Multiplier for for the number of troops produced while recruiting
$config['shopmult'] = 1.5; #Multiplier for for the cash gained per shop (market)

Actually, I only changed

Changed landloss_mult=1.0
Changed landloss_mage_mult=0.67

I also beefed up cashing a tiny bit. Lemme know if attacks need to be more greedy or if I should boost the other stats.

This for WoA only or WoA and BFR?

[Freenhult]

Global I do believe.

I declare myself emperor of War of Ages if someone wants to beat me go for it but I have been in first since November so bring it!

(Sidenote: I know there is not that many players but this is my first round )

This might have been a bit better off in its own topic, but good luck with that.

I've thought recently that it would be interesting to have increased land gained by attacks where the opponent has no troops to defend their land with, ie 0 troops.

This would make sense to me because if there is nobody guarding the land, it is easier to get the land and take more than if the enemy has alot of troops guarding it and you suffer losses in battle, meaning you won't be able to take as much land.

Just a thought.

Fits in with Freen's idea of land gained in proportion to surviving troops. There still has to be a limit on how much you can gain per attack, as it takes more to take over land, your administrators and workers have to integrate it and so forth.

Exactly. Guess we have a nice new system for attacking in general now.
