Nitrogenbubble can you tell me how you calculate it? Because I think there’s an error in your test because you say that a slow hero (12 tiles) needs 10.81 tiles to fill with 11% mana troop. Correct me if im wrong here but 12x(1-0.11) = 12x0.89= 10.68
This would mean that the outcome of your test will be different.
But besides that, i’ve been sleeping it over and thinking about it today and I also think that maybe we are going about this the wrong way, myself included.
Because we say that a hero with troops/buffs needs LESS tiles to fill… but what if we look at it differently and say that for example a slow hero ALWAYS needs 12 tiles to fill no matter the troops or buffs, its just the mana gain that increases. So lets say after 10 tiles with your lvl 20 mana troop you have:
10x1.11=11.1 tiles and you would still need 0.9
Then when alberich does his thing, he will give 0.8 OR 0.8x1.11=0.888 wich either way isn’t enough.
Thats why it DID work with khagan,
e.i. 0.8x1.24=0.992 or with the mana troops 0.8x1.35=1.08
If this is indeed the case then it also means that I have to redo my own calculations, but unfortunately i’m going on a holliday tomorrow so I really won’t have the time until wednesday. But still I wanted to post this for brainstorming purposes and I would very much like to hear your thoughts about this…
P.s. you are right about no speculations in this topic, thats not helping anyone and it won’t happen again
