Improvements:

Build/acre:

These formulas are in a basic excel/spreadsheet style

Plat cost <1250

[(MAX{IF[#buildings<250,250,#buildings],3*land/4}-250) * 1.53 + 850] * (1-MIN(3*facts%,0.75)) * (1 + Tech Bonus%)

Lumber cost <1250 land:

[(MAX{IF[#buildings<250,250,#buildings],3*land/4}-250) * 0.35 + 87.5] * (1-MIN(3*facts%,0.75))

Plat cost >1250 land:

([Land-250]*1.53+850)*(1-MIN(3*Facts %, 0.75))* (1 + Tech Bonus%)

Lumber cost >1250 land:

([Land-250]*0.35+87.5)*(1-MIN(3*Facts %, 0.75))

Explore/acre:

1000+3*(Land-300)^1.09

Rates/constants:

Casualties:

Offensive casualties are base of 8.5%

If you send against a wonder it is a stock 5% no matter what race (ie undying races die at 5%), and no matter what casualty reductions you have.

Defensive casualties base of: 6.5%
And in a 24 hour period any hit that is 80% of your dp or more you get reduced casualties on successive hits:

2nd defense: 85% (of 6.5% casualties)
3rd defense: 65%
4th defense: 55%
5th defense: 45%

If you hit between 40% and 66% of your size your casualties are doubled - do 8.5%*2 = 17% casualties (so i have been told). I thought it was on a sliding scale but know at least this - attack out of the 70% range and you do get increased casualties.

Conversion:

For those who just want a formula here it is: =Min(target casualties,6% of Vampires sent (+3% if spell)) *
targetland/yourland

Your conversions are based on a percentage of your units sent; The percentage is 6% normally and 9% with PH cast. This number is then checked against;

Defenders losses; if the defender lost less troops than the percentage of your garou's, base converts are capped to the losses of the defender. The base converts are then modded, using the formula;

( Defenders land / attackers land ) * base converts. This can never be bigger than base converts (hitting 100%+ your size)

Some (Raw) Numbers:

10k Garous vs 14K Chameleons

60k op vs 56k dp

Garous would obviously win.

now 9% of Garous = 900

Losses on Chameleons would = 14k* 0.065 = 910 Chams would die

The cap (or "Base Converts") is 900 chams - then if you assume that the Lizzie was 75% of the landsize the conversions = 0.75 * 900 = 675 this means it is 675 converts for your army.

Alternatively a similar army of 8k Leviathans (the same 56k dp) would yield these results:

9% of Garous = 900

Losses on Levi's = 8k * 0.065 = 520

Therefore the Base converts are now 520

Taking the same landsize criteria:

0.75 * 520 = 390

From this we can deduce that for maximum converts it is better to attack someone with more troops. The first show of this is someone using all spec defense (but be careful of Shamans and the like), and then the ones with low dp elites so a Lizzie would be a better target than a Merf. Then - as we know that converts are based on troop quantities - one can deduce that a lizzie with 56k dp using no modifications is a better target than a lizzie with 56k dp using 40% defensive modifications, as the latter will have less troops to kill and thus convert.

Plunder

Gem Cap: 20% of target's total Gem store

Plat Cap: 20% of target's total Plat store

Plat per Hob: 50 plat
(of note is this figure is for returning hobs, so if you send 100 and 8 die you only get a max of 92*50 = 4600 plat)

Stealing

Gem cap: 3% of targets stockpile
Ore cap: 5% of targets stockpile
Plat cap: 2% of target plat stockpile

Other caps:

75% of own plat/ore/lumber production
56% of own mana production
50 lumber/ore/mana/gems per spy
100 plat per spy

Prestige Gains

(0.05 * target prestige) + 20

It is (0.0575 * target prestige) + 20 if you are at war (mutual or one sided) and remember it is capped at 10% of your own prestige.

Techs

The formula for the thresholds for gaining a tech at different land sizes is:

Max(4200,7.14*Land Size)

...or in laymans terms 7.14*(land size) if you are above 588 land; 4200 points if you are below
