Analysis of battle rewards. (in General)


AvoidCXT March 12 2005 1:29 AM EST

First off, I'd like to thank Alienfb for his assistance with data collection. These are the results of Sixty battles against him during normal time, and twenty one during xtra cash time. My clan bonus remained constant for all battles.

Ratio of max cash possible to min cash possible = 2.25:1
*I found this a little earlier on a test with four targets, and about 30 battles each

Ratio of max xp possible to min xp possible = 2:1
*I have long known this ratio from this ancient post-http://cb1.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0000V1. Specifically from Jon's reply:"all I did was take the same N xp that's been given, and return 2/3 N + random(0..2/3 N)."

Note on each ratio involving average rewards - They are probably off due to rounding by both me and cb. Luck would not be a factor because I averaged the min and max rather than each individual fight.

Ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards = 6.62:1(per minion for a four minion team)

Ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards during xtra cash time = 26.5:1(per minion for a four minion team)

Ratio of average cash rewards during xtra cash time to normal average cash rewards = 1.6:1

Ratio of average xp rewards during xtra cash time to normal average xp rewards = .4:1

I do not yet have any data of fights during xtra xp time, but I can guess-

Ratio of average xp rewards during xtra xp time to normal average xp rewards = 1.6:1

Ratio of average cash rewards during xtra xp time to normal average cash rewards = .4:1

Ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards during xtra xp time = 1.655:1

Note on cash rewards - During all eighty one battles recorded, there were only six values of cash rewards: min, 1.25 x min, 1.5 x min, 1.75 x min, 2x min, and 2.25 x min.

That's some interesting data Avoid. Good job :D

I thought you were just farming me, but well done on the research

Good work.

I tested battle rewards with The Last, but I forgot to record the data. D=

I didn't record nearly as much data, but the fights I did record agree with my ratios for xtra xp time.

The ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards is probably more useful in terms of total xp rather than xp per minion, so, the ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards in terms of total xp is 3:1, the same ratio of minion cost : minion xp for hiring new minions.

Also, I figured out a way of determining what the average cash and xp rewards should be for attacking any char from the cash rewards of just two battles. If you'd like me to figure it for you, post a reply in my soon-to-come data collection thread.

the ratio of average cash rewards to average xp rewards in terms of total xp is 1.655:1, not 3:1 as I said in my last reply. I don't know what's wrong with me.
