monopoly :D


wrong, a monopoly would be when there's only 1 person offering turns and setting the prices.... since there's a few doing it it would be an oligopoly ;)

pwned ya both :P


double pwned

a monopoly can be a group which force or set a price to either stay/rise or fall, its just another name for trying to control :D


a monopoly doesn't need to be one person, it can be a group as long as the group it speaking with 1 voice and setting 1 price and are the only ones offering the goods in demand. In an oligopoly there are several (but very few) groups (or individuals) offering the goods that are in high demand... independently...

triple pwned? :lol:

Im not buying for some time anyways got to wait like 1-2 days for paypal to transfer from debit to account then ill concider it again

If i had the naq id buy 900b for 1m its no loss


No i will néot force you to be at lower rates,but just think of it,you challenged Nigatsu and starting to piss me off aswell.
where will be the point when you will buy resources when some players will mass it away??????
i mean if there will be 4 or 5 people that will be enough to mass your CASH that you put into the game for resources,the more they are,the less loses for each of them.

Nigatsu you have my support when phantom BECOMES LG,if u still are interested in massing him.
the game wont be much fun for you when you wont be able to build a decent def :-D :-D :-D :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I just did some math, and based on prices at 700 mil/k, and personal growth at .790040414% per day, and with exponential growth, I could double my army every 87.7365 days, based on income/buying alone. Not including UP, and any 'extra' I may make by raiding. Not saying I actually will, but I could.

But anyway, based on that theory, players should double their growth every 3-4 months, right? Well that means prices also would jump every 3-4 months. I remember one year ago prices were 300-350 mil/k. Given the time it isn't surprising that they have doubled and even tripled.

If anyone is interested in the math
I took my daily income and divided it by 700,000. I then took that number and divided it by by my entire army size to get 'k'
y=yoekt is the formula, with y being the end value, yo being your start, k being your growth per day, and t being your days.

In the model below all I wanted was to double my starting size, so y became 2, and yo became 1, I didn't include the 1 because it wasn't needed.

2=e0.0.007900404t
ln2=0.007900404t
t=(ln2)/0.007900404
t=87.735656 days

It would vary depending on your % of miners to your total army size(better % of miners, faster growth...) Also UP makes a difference.

It doesn't factor in changes in prices on the market, but you could just pick a higher number. Like if I picked 900 mil per k, it would be 112 days to double size, still not counting anything else. That would better match the rise in prices.

Just some food for thought.
