Forums / Miscellaneous Discussions / X factor in ending scores

Looking at the scores, the #2 guy has better stats than the #1 guy.

The #5 guy has incredible stats, yet he is not #1 or even #4 .. he is down the list for some reason. This means there must be something other than wins, kills, towns or armies that decides the chart (assuming there isn't a bug in the chart?).

<Mielo> I won more battles
<Mielo> zetafiles@hotmail.com zegt:
<Mielo> yeh, but he chosed harder fights

This is the only explanation I can see. If you win a merge fight at 55% do you get more "score" than if you win it at 100%? Is that what "harder fights" signify?

How should we play the next era in order to win "harder fights"?

training better troops might be the key, who is to say those 6.6mil troops arent 95% lvl 1?

only turnip knows what they are

its never been as linear as that rox. Naz have always given good points, but not worth their gold.

Zerks were the best lvl 5 unit for points if i remember right. Then catas i think. Although i dont think we worked out what a archy was worth. I think catas worked out at 21 or 22 times a gaia.

Farmers and gaia are worth less than 1 are they not?

You got one xp point for each battle if the defender was strong enough (5000dp). The xp counts higher then the wins in the ending scores.

This will most likely be changed for next era though.

(Gold does not count in the high-score)

or does that mean u got 1 exp for every 5000 DP killed?

"deserve" has nothing to do with it. my magetown had 1 million mages in it, that could be killed with 5k naz. zeta was explaining how xp was earned, lets hear the man respond.

Mr. Roxbury: Did I understand this correctly, killing a 1 million blocker gives 1 xp point, and killing a town with 500 elf archers in it, gives 1 xp point?

That is correct.

perhaps its army exp points?

anyways,  i had a shizton of zerks, didn't hardly train mages at all...  i know death had lots of mages in his armies.

:P donno, wealth? lol... wealth has a significant role in real life in calculating how well a person is doing in life, why not vu? :P ... weve known this for a while now too... thats why most people save their gold last 24-48 hrs :P lol

You have 12228359 gold, 154913177 stone, 9456046 tree and 3438232 food.
Each science level will give a 10% bonus.

Military Science Level 8 Currently using: Magic weapons and mithril armor that gives +80% defensive and offensive power. Upgrading costs 5985633000 gold, 598563300 stone and 598563300 tree.

Total:				+15,686,822		+472,714	+6,476,363	+1,045,970	2,201,267
	Army Upkeep:				-1,603,660
	Building Upkeep:				-1,835,613
	Total Income:				+12,247,549

Thats how I finished, with around 100-120k nazzies, probably equal Ogres, and mages at roughly 8:1 ratio.

looks you me like the final score is multiplied by kills over troops in total.

A correction: Gold was not calculated in the high scores this era.



Oh, my god. So I saved up gold for nothing? Great...
