[Math, Farming] Kit/ backpacks per day versus Advanced House Level 9 [More math, Math Apocalypse]

[Gryphonknight]

AR kits

@Benn

As others have pointed out, you can also build up stores during AR and then slowly let out those supplies over the rest of the month, if you have AH9 to replenish recruits.

Or you can use extra kits from AR to run a second camp with Uncommon training ( RT02 ) since 2.1-8H only supplies you with enough for kits to run 2x Uncommon training for 12.6 hours per 24 hours.

Advanced House

@Benn

S2:1-8H is best for backpacks (double S1:8-7) but gives you half the number of recruits, and fewer heroes/troops per WE

@Benn

So if you need backpacks more than recruits, given the benefit of AH9, then you are better off spending WE on S2-1:8H, to make sure that you don’t run out of backpacks and can keep a TC2 running 24x7.

Close enough

Click for boring part

Reference

The original purpose of this post was to analyze Advanced House to see why the Devs chose the number of buildings ( 1x for base ) and the maximum hourly production ( 5 / hour ).

Then use the analysis in discussions about Advanced house game meta.

Recruits

Before AR, and Advanced House, recruits were a huge factor

(ARCHIVED Before Advanced House 9 and Atlantis Rising, Uncommon training versus Extra fast training)

Kits and hero drops

Once AR, and Advanced house, solved the recruits problem, then kits were a much more important factor .

1* heroes from training camps and 1* heroes from loot drops ( 75% all drops ) became less important.

1* heroes for leveling

Swords, Rugged Clothes and hero loot drops are hideously expensive in food for 5* heroes and pricey for 4* heroes ( see notes)

Stronghold 12+, the game becomes unbalanced.

After first Legendary training, the game becomes less fun.

+25% kits

Season 2, Province 1, Hard difficultly all stages gives 0.35 kit / we compared to 0.28 / we for all other stages ( with increased kits, 1.5-x and 2.1-xN ) or +25% more kits.

Probably not RNG noise (750+ runs for including about 100 runs for most popular stages )

4* ingredients

As a bonus Season 2, Province 1 gives all 4* ingredients, unlike Season 1, Province 5.

3* Ascension items

We are not sure how farmable 3* ascension items impact 1* ascension items.

AR

During AR, Season 2, Province 1, Normal difficultly gets 0.84 kits / we which is +12% better than 0.75 kits / we of Hard difficultly.

Notes

@Gryphonknight

All troop drops appear to be ~75% 1* / ~25% 2* Hero drops appear to be the same 75/25 mix.

5* heroes food

@Gryphonknight

The savings in food used in leveling is 15.3 m food ( RT02 ) versus 22 m food ( RT19 ) or a savings of 6.7 m food or 1.5x 4* 4.70 heroes or 9.7x 3* 3.50 heroes ( rough ratio ).

For players who wish to level a 5* hero using both, one strategy is to use Extra fast ( RT19 ) until you are 50% to max level, then switch to Uncommon ( RT02 ).

Exact food calculation

@Gryphonknight

Food per hero = Base + (LV-2) * slope

1 Star 1000 + (LV-2) *20

2 Star 1200 + (LV-2) *24

3 Star 2100 + (LV-2) *42

4 Star 3000 + (LV-2) *60

5 Star 5000 + (LV-2) *100

So a 5 Star 4th ascension going from level 23 to 24 will take 5000 + 2100 food = 7100
