Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
Proposed system:
- Before attack you select how many attacks (1-10 attacks)
- Each attack costs 1 AT (total 10 AT best hit)
- 1 attack = 10% of max losses; 10 attacks = 100% of max losses
- VV Kuwal stolen VV

- Spoiler:
Before starting any talk about this I'll say 4 things:
1) I always hated how all someone had to do to never get farmed was to keep their def above the top strike
2) I always hated how all you needed to rob someone of their kuwal was to get in just one lucky hit, even if it was just a few hundred points in a battle where the power used was in the millions
3) I honestly think this would be a change for the better
4) Suggestion section => too much negative feedback and this wont happen
IF you can't be arsed to read this then scroll down to the red text to get the main point of this suggestion. However if you skip right to it, you'll most likely not fully understand the what and why. The part in bold and underlined is the actual part for discussion, obviously only of course if you're not absolutely against the idea.
THE SUGGESTION
Step 1:
- ST values multiplied everywhere by 5 (production per turn, max amount, cost of attack, etc.)
- Weapon power multiplied by 10 (Knife becomes 50 points, etc.)
- Unit power dropped by a factor of 10 (Super instead of giving 10 fold multiplier of weapon used, will become 1 fold multiplier)
End Result for Strike and Defense Action values: NONE
End Result for me, more freedom in working with weapon damages (you can't really do much with a weapon that loses 5-10 points with each hit, even a change in 1 point will be too much for fine tuning)
Step 2:
- ST cost to farm dropped to 2 ST again
- AT cost to farm dropped to 2 AT from 10 AT
- Attack losses and Weapon damages dropped to 20% of current values (only for farm attacks)
- Added option to launch 1-5 consecutive attacks (5 being the default value automatically submitted unless otherwise specified)
- Each attack (even if consecutive) uses up 2 ST, so 5 consecutive attacks use up same amount of AT/ST as 5 attacks on different people
- Kuwal stolen per hit from 90-100%, down to a 5-step leveling depending on how many attacks you send 30%/52.5%/70%/85%/97.5% (random spread of a few % up and down obviously)
You send in 5 attacks you pay the same costs and can get from 95-100% of kuwal, so no difference there to the current setup
Step 3 (this is where the actual rework starts):
- Random factor of strike power in battle changed from 90-105% to 75-120% (identical average value)
- Random factor of defense power in battle remains unchanged at 90-105%
- Even if you dont manage to "beat" the defense, you still have a chance of stealing some kuwal(in a realm there's many factories and areas to protect, not all will be defended with the same power so sometimes you're lucky enough that some of your battalions catch a weak spot and can loot some of the warehouses)
- Both amount stolen and the chance of anything being stolen at all in case of a defeated attack depends on the strike/defense ratio. So even a strike that's half of a defense power has a chance of stealing something but even if it's just one attack it will not be anywhere the 30% you normally could get.
Advantages for the game:
- Smaller players might login to see they've been only robbed of 30-60% of the kuwal they had out instead of everything
- Attacks will become more frequent, since instead of attacking one person for 100% of kuwal you could get 5 people for 30% of their kuwal giving you potentially up to 1.5 times the loot.
- Attacks by users with lower strike than an enemy defense actually become a possibility meaning someone with a juicy amount of kuwal still has a need to worry even if their def tops everything ingame built at the moment. Also weaker players have an option to hit back larger players somewhat.
- Opens up a wide array of options in terms of race techs (more kuwal stolen per hit, higher chance of success even vs larger def, chance of not losing kuwal at all, etc.)
Disadvantages:
- Defs become partially a less effective means of protecting kuwal
- People with top ranked defs will have a reason to bank more often than they do at the moment

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
you didn't mention it, but I think I know the answer. Still, to be seen by everyone.
The AT/ST cost of a 1 attack mission is 20% the AT/ST cost of a 5 attack mission?
The AT/ST cost of a 1 attack mission is 20% the AT/ST cost of a 5 attack mission?

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
From what I see I am incouraged to agree with it.
few questions
Super is a 1 time multiplier? so supers are the same power as normal men? if so why, whats the reason for having them?
why just strike? if you do both strike and def then you only have to do half the amount. then you have a more dynamic set up as both may go high, low or in opposite directions. reason I would like to see them more equal is a strike can abuse its 15% advantage, that make strikes 15% stronger then an equal def.

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
Right now if you arm a super with a knife which has 5 power you get 50 strike/defense action (10 multiplier x5 knife power)Nomad wrote:

normals consequently give 25 power with a knife (5 multiplier x5 knife power)
The update would make this
Super => 1 multiplier x 50 knife power = 50 Action
Normal => 0.5 multiplier x 50 knife power = 25 Action
Action remains the same
lol how can you abuse something that's random, it would go both ways, plus even if you dont beat the def but miss it by a few % you'll be still very likely to get some kuwal and very close to the amount you would have gotten with a successful hit.Nomad wrote:Random factor of strike power in battle changed from 90-105% to 75-120% (identical average value)

Reason for no increasing random chance for def. Dunno if someone gets 120% and the other 75% that's 1.6 fold difference. For the attacker farming that's a statistical disadvantage, he gains no benefits for having a ratio of higher than 1, but loses out on all the fights where the ratio drops below 1.

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
I would agree with these ideas.
It all boils down to adding the option to attack for variable return.

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
I AGREE WITH
Have 10 times more points for weapons and attack and defense units have 0.1 of power
I DISAGREE WITH
- Random factor of strike power in battle changed from 90-105% to 75-120% (identical average value)
- Random factor of defense power in battle remains unchanged at 90-105%
Dont force players to attack multiple times!
It would be a waste of time.
Instead make changes only to those who would fail under present circumstances.

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
not forcing anyone, default setting will be that you attack once and steal all kuwal, just like nowKenzu wrote:Dont force players to attack multiple times!
It would be a waste of time.
all you'll need to do is have a strike larger than a def and press one single button, just like now
direct contradiction to the suggestion
Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
instead of having a big distribution of possible attack/defense action 75%-120%,
0.75/1.1=0.681
1/0.681 = 1.47
=> this means that an attacker has to have practically 47% more strike than defender to be 100% sure to steal kuwal!
INSTEAD make more possibilities of attack:
Standard Attack
Attacker deals 100% damage
Attack with Risk
Attacker deals 75%-125% damage
Attack with high Risk
Attacker deals 50%-150% damage
Attack with highest Risk
Attacker deals 0%-200% damage
0.75/1.1=0.681

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
I don't agree with:
Random factor of strike power in battle changed from 90-105% to 75-120% (identical average value)
Plus how does that affect those who have actually invested in defense techs? Those get very expensive in time and would make it virtually worthless if you change it to 75% (random factor if someone has invested up to 125%, it would cancel out that 25%)
Also, how will this affect Miraya who automatically has bonuses to defense? Or to Daning who have the bonuses to attack?
Not only are these bold changes, they're changes being made to the basic operation of the game almost 10 months after the game has come out and we still have several areas of the game that aren't functional yet. Meaning those who have paid the kuwal for the weapons levels and the supers/regular soldiers + arming them are set back so the newer players have more of an advantage. Right now newer players can still attack other newer players and get up higher instead of sitting at rank #300+. Also people have paid real cash (euros/usd) for advances or upgrades, including on the black market which will be negated because of some of these changes. Such as spending $$ to get enough to buy more supers at 10x the cost of a regular soldier. Or buying kuwal to up the techs.
New people can still attack new and lower people or people who have abandoned the game and left their accounts open without deleting since those accounts still have uu and produce kuwal (even in small amounts).
This way, someone ranked #300 can attack the #3 player and get something from him/her. What would be the point then?

To me this is telling people you get a chance to take their kuwal, attack several times! I kinda agree with kenzu on this. Especially if your strike repairs are very low in comparison (including retraining lost units).- Both amount stolen and the chance of anything being stolen at all in case of a defeated attack depends on the strike/defense ratio. So even a strike that's half of a defense power has a chance of stealing something but even if it's just one attack it will not be anywhere the 30% you normally could get.
Don't make the supers COST 10x since they'll only be worth 2x (2 times the regulars) instead of 10x with this. To do this, give a refund on the 10x we've spent on supers over regular soldiers as well. We paid for the 10x power, not 1x vs 0.5x.- Unit power dropped by a factor of 10 (Super instead of giving 10 fold multiplier of weapon used, will become 1 fold multiplier)

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
@Kenzu: why don't we just implement a random number generator, when someone attacks someone else, each of them rolls a dice with the generator. The highest dice roll wins the kuwal. Weeeeee, ins't this fun?

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
admin wanted to decrease the power of both normal and super soldiers by 10 and multiplying the amount of hitpoints for weapons by 10 which means strike and defense will be making same damage.
0.75/1.05=0.7142857
1/0.7142857=1.4 => 140%
I will have to have 40% more strike than defender if I want to make sure not to fail in a farm attack, which is complete nonsense!
(Currently you need only 17% more strike than enemy defense to win)
0.9/1.05=0.8571
1/0.8571=1.166 => 117%

figure of speech. Don't worry about it. Implementing options that rely too heavily on chance in a game based on efficiency will result in options that are never used.

Doing 100 attacks and you will get that on average you do 97.5% power of your real value. Just makes it more interesting and a bit less predictable, which I think would add to this game. Sometimes a rocket or a tank can fail, and sometimes just losing one tank can make all the difference.
Yes but dont forget that you have to pay repairs and suffer losses with each attack, even in those where you dont gain anything.Kismet wrote:To me this is telling people you get a chance to take their kuwal, attack several times! I kinda agree with kenzu on this. Especially if your strike repairs are very low in comparison (including retraining lost units).- Both amount stolen and the chance of anything being stolen at all in case of a defeated attack depends on the strike/defense ratio. So even a strike that's half of a defense power has a chance of stealing something but even if it's just one attack it will not be anywhere the 30% you normally could get.
Plus lower strike means lower chance of succeeding, disproportionately more than what you save on repairs and losses. So it's cheaper for you to build a strike that always wins than to go around with one that never wins.
So sure you might catch the odd lucky hit where you defeat someone and gain a lot. But on the other hand if you rely on a low strike you will more often than not attack someone, get defended and be left with nothing but units lost and weapons in need of being repaired.
And obviously every now and then you'll hit a streak where you will attack and attack, attack and attack but never gain anything even though you should, meaning you'll be at a horrible loss and would have saved money had you bothered to build that proper strike
No, right now you paid 10 times the amount of kuwal for 10x vs 5x the power.

Weapons get increased tenfold, ALL soldiers get weakened tenfold.
if you have 100 mil power, divide it by 10 and then multiply it by 10 you end up with 100 mil.

I hope that I cleared up all your misconceptions and that it was a problem of understanding and nothing else
Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
You havent for me.
if both strike and defense are 100 mill, and both hit on the maximum side of the randomness scale then the strike will win 15% advantge over the defense.
main point, identical strike vs identical defense, the random factor is in the favor of the strike by 15% and I dont understand that.
whats the difference, or the down side to making the random factors the same?
85 to 115, then an identical strike and defense stand the exact same chance of randomness. Thats my issue with it all, the 15% advantage your giving strike.
I still say this is giving the attacker a 15% advantage in overall power.Random factor of strike power in battle changed from 90-105% to 75-120% (identical average value)
- Random factor of defense power in battle remains unchanged at 90-105%

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
So what happens when they both hit at minimum? Considering it's an average, you have to assume he will equally strike at minimum as he will at maximum.
Notice anything when you take that into account? How about that, it evens out. Funny how math is.

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
no it does not
we are talking about ='s
ok let me rephrase. The defense is 1 point higher
both at minimums = a failed attack
both at maximum = a failed attack
but with strike having a 15% overall higher random counter then that means that the strike can beat what it could not beat before
just explain why you feel strike should get 15% more in both directions and I'll try to understand better, right now I just don't
FACTS
Strike has more advantages
strike is always online during an attack
strike can reapair after each attack keeping max damage as the defense deteriorates
strike can choose to assasinate or sabb (sabbing often can not been seen nor proven who did it, sabb this turn, steal kewal next turn, can claim innocence of sabbing)
So WHY does it need an aditional 15% overall power boost?
Lets look at the overall effect of this as well, whats really going to happen?
Big boys/Big alliances will mass anyone who farms them. PERIOD.
all this is doing is adding another advantage to strike
NOW all that said, I happen to like the idea, all save not understanding why the % are not equal, but favor strike by 15%
IF the strike is smaller, it suffers smaller losses man wise so repeated attacks to get the 15% bonus may very well be worth it.

Btw are you just contradicting yourself to your statement before where you said defense and strike at maximum means a failed attack?

How does it get a 15% BOOST? Last time I checked, the word boost means increase, we're talking about changing spread, from 90-105%, where you will be doing on average 97.5%, to 75-120% where you will be doing on average 97.5%Nomad wrote:So WHY does it need an aditional 15% overall power boost?
97.5% is an identical value to 97.5% so please show me where the 15% comes from.

5/30 Attacks the strike will be below 90%, the minimum defense power.
10/30 Attacks (DOUBLE THE AMOUNT) the strike will be above 105%, the maximum defense power
with 75-120% you have a 15/45 chance that you will do less than 90%, minimum def power and a 15/45 chance that you will do more than 105%, maximum def power.
Please calculate for me the average value of the following 2 data sets:Nomad wrote:NOW all that said, I happen to like the idea, all save not understanding why the % are not equal, but favor strike by 15%
Set 1: 75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120
Set 2: 90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105
Once you post the answer to this, please explain how the update would give the strike a 15% boost if the power spread during battle is changed from 90-105% to 75-120%

Re: Bold rework of farming system [VERY LONG]
@Nomad:
argh.
The random counter is both higher and smaller which means the AVERAGE remains exactly the same as it did before. EXACTLY.
You could say strike gets a kick in the nuts because a strike after the update would have to be higher than before the update to be certain the hit is successful.
Do you understand? It's not an ADVANTAGE for strike. It's a minor disadvantage if you really wanna go there.
Here:
Strike 90-105 Def 90-105 -> 10mil DEF Target
90% *STR > 105% *DEF => STR = (7/6) DEF =>
Actual strike needed to be certain of success: over 11.67mil
After update:
Strike 75-120 Def 90-105 -> 10mil DEF Target
75% *STR > 105% *DEF => STR = (7/5) DEF =>
Actual strike needed to be certain of success: over 14mil
Now do you understand? When you farm, you need to be CERTAIN you score a good hit. Otherwise, you get burned. So farmers (that use their brain) will build a strike at the upper limit, to be certain of stealing the kuwal.
Thus, it's a minor disadvantage for the striker, NOT for the defender but offers the chance for that ONE hit you brag about on the alliance forum, where you managed to steal that kuwal even though your strike was small. That's the exception, not the rule.
