Grade A Suggestion

[ohmyjapan16]

For farming at least, I really love making 6 million in cash and then theres about 50k of troops available on the BM.... for the next week..... can we increase the refill rate please?

[Ruddertail]

50k? You mean unscaled, right?

I've noticed the small amounts, too, in fact. . Beatles, would it be doable to post the bazaar refill code for us to pick over, either here or in the staff section? That way, we could come up with exact solutions and numbers.

[ohmyjapan16]

I was exaggerating on the amount thats in there out of frustration. But it's very little.

[Ruddertail]

Aren't you exaggerating in the wrong direction?

[ohmyjapan16]

I meant like 50k dollars worth of troops. So I mean when you make 6bil and can only spend 50k, it's not fun.

[Ruddertail]

Ah, ok.

Yeah, if we could get bazaar code to look at, that'd be great.

Apparently, I forgot I can't read code. Not well, anyhow. Bjorn or somebody want to explain exactly how it calculates how many troops you have available?

I guess what I'm thinking we should do is increase it the rate, but I'm thinking for some reason that it's calculated based on your land and buildings when you visit the page, or on that multiplied by time, or something like that. If so, that needs to be changed - it should add X troops per hour, and the rate of addition should be dependant on land, but if you had 20k land for 23 hours and now get dropped to 10k land for one hour, then sign on, you should have troops based on,

(23 * (20k[troops per acre] * race and building bonuses)) + (1 * (10k[troops per acre] * race and building bonuses)),

not
(24 * 10k([troops per acre] * race and building bonuses))

If it already does this, than we need to increase [troops per acre].

boosting farmer strat?

maybe make the prod market spell more effective first....

...No. We're fixing the game.

well i have no idea about the code, if its broken or otherwise, but if you make the bm fill up quicker than it does everyone will play solo farmer, cos there is no point being anything else.



you boost / fix the bm refresh and allow farmers to buy loads of troops, you are boosting an already overpowered farmer strat. Maybe leave the code broken, if thats is the case, and make the prod market more effective.

[Ruddertail]

The problem is, spy players and cashers (when that's brought up to speed) also get hurt by this. Indies are the only ones not hurt by this. If cashers and spies are boosted equal to farmers, then we won't have a problem there. And if indy still needs to be boosted, well, that can be done as well.

I see my words weren't wasted.

[Freenhult]

We're fixing the game.

And it does need to be boosted. I tried it today, and got nothing. Quite pitiful.

Do you have a suggestion as to how much it should raise?

[Freenhult]

code: Select all

if($times = howmanytimes($users['pvmarket_last'], $perminutes)) {
    echo "<!--";
    echo "$times\n";
    $users[bmp] = explode("|", $users[pvmarket]);
    foreach($config[troop] as $num => $mktcost) {
        if($users[bmp][$num] < (250*($users[land]+(2*$users[barracks]))))
            $users[bmp][$num] = round(($users[bmp][$num] + $times*((4000/$mktcost)*($users[land]+$users[barracks]))));

That seems to be the refill rate, unless I'm drunk.

*laughs*, I think its more or less the top half.
