covert and anti-covert formulae

Hi everyone, I've tried to search for the answers but couldn't find it anywhere

I'm trying to work out the formula for calculating the amount of covert agents you need to to attain a certain covert action (where tech lvls, race bonus and covert lvls are constants) or from point A to point B. This is to help the guys in the alliance I'm in calculate how many units are required to jump into gnr ranks.

I know the formula for calculating it is

y= ( ( (sqrt(2^(S)) * X * T * R ) + X) * 10 )

where
y = covert action
s = spy lvl
x = covert units
t = technology increase
r = race increase

and am wanting to work it out as a factor of x

(if anyone has it for an excel spreadsheet I would be most appreciative as well)

thanks

it's easy:

Y = covert action (you want)
y = current covert action
s = spy lvl
X = covert units needed
t = technology increase
r = race increase
A= (sqrt(2^(S)) * T * R )


Take D = Y - y (the amount of covert action you need)
then X = D/(10(A+1))

If you need it for anti covert you have to multiply A by 2

Made a spreadsheet (can't upload it, please PM me with an E-mail address, and if you would like the open office version (original), or the exel), does anyone know the percentages of tech increase?
