How the Game Counts

Contents

The client carries a table of formulas the game uses for speed-up prices, resource rates, crit chance and other things players usually guess at.

Diamond speed-ups get cheaper the longer the job

Duration	Diamonds	Per hour
1 minute	5	300
15 minutes	55	220
1 hour	187	187
8 hours	1 194	149
1 day	3 183	133
1 week	18 072	108

Cost grows slower than time, so an hour of small top-ups costs three times an hour taken off a week-long job. Spending diamonds on small finishes is the worst rate.

Resources per diamond

One diamond buys grain: 1 000, timber: 1 000, stone: 600, ore: 50.

Small facts worth knowing

Base crit chance is 5%, then your crit is added and the target's resistance subtracted.
Alliance size starts at 50 and grows by five per level.
Scouting costs 1,000 plus a hundred per target level.
Morale is clamped between 1 and 2, so it can double a fight at most.
Arena points depend on the rating gap: beating a stronger opponent pays more.
