City vs. camp

[Rakefur]

A city is 100 land, but worth what? I know it has camps and something else...

After that is answered, I will go on to my question.

[Shadow]

city is 1000 land, and it gives you 1000 tents and 500 camps.

[The Masked Wolf]

yeah

[Rakefur]

Oh ok right.

Am I right in saying tents house workers, and camps give you faster market time and better mercs prices?

[Kilkenne]

That is correct. But also remember that camps are only effective up to 30% of your total land being in camps.

[Shadow]

40%

but yes

[Kilkenne]

They reduce in effectiveness after 30, unless that recently got patched out. It took ~50% of your land in them to get to 40% effectiveness.

[Shadow]

no, we changed it up a while ago - the effect is linear up to 40%, then cuts off.

[Kilkenne]

Define "A while ago". We'll talk about this later, because what I have indicates it's nonlinear past 30.

[Shadow]

it was back when we did the race balancing - it become necessary in order to code out the troop loop.

EDIT: just tested on test server, it is linear there for painted one. I'll check turbo later.

[Rakefur]

Oh I see. Thanks, that helped a lot.
