Right…That seems very expected. +50% loot per stage with 1/2 the energy costs (for 3 flag stages) would result in ~3 times the loot per flag.
Please read the whole conversation. I’m trying to correct misinformation about the bonus loot per stage, not per flag. It was stated that the loot was doubled, with half WE resulting in 4 times the loot per flag. This incorrect value for bonus loot per stage has been stated before this and would likely continue to be propagated if not corrected. So for the third time apparently, the bonus loot per stage…not per flag… is +50% and not +100%.
