FIRST and FOREMOST, lets stick to MATH answers, ok? I got in a fight with some retard who kept insisting the job would take half as long. I agree that if you work "twice as fast" the job would take "half as long"... but I dont agree that 100% faster is "twice as fast"... to me, it seems that 50% faster is twice as fast....

    a 10 minute job takes 10 minutes and is 100% of the time needed to do the job
    10% faster is 9 minutes for the job, 90% of a 10 minute job
    50% faster is 5 minutes for the job, 50% of a 10 minute job
    90% faster is 1 minute for the job, 90% of a 10 minute job

    in other words, 50% faster is "twice the speed and half the time" BUT terms like twice and half REALLY don't belong in this discussion. SO...

    sticking to math.... what would 100% faster be?

    Rasterbee gets some props for demonstrating what the actual function of the "Construction" skill is, but I had already figured out that that was how it was "applied"... incrementally, by tens... but that doestn answer the QUESTION this brought up.....

    would 100% faster be "instant"? as andrewbeeker points out, what happens to 100+percents?
    Actually your "retard" friend got it mathwise right. However, as seen by the above, Evony uses a different way to calculate it. (if what they posted is correctly how evony calculates it)

    for example...using pure math.

    100 units per sec (mythical buildtime) X 10% faster would be 110 units/sec

    therefore 100 units/sec X 100% faster would be 200 units/sec

    100% faster is twice as fast. so lets say 10 seconds.....

    standard build would be 1000
    100% faster would be 2000

    1000/2000 = 1/2 the time

    Therefore 100% faster is NOT in an instant. 100% faster is 1/2 the buildtime. (Props to your "retard" friend. You probably owe him an appology.)

    For your example of 50% faster

    100 units/sec X 50% is 50 units per sec bonus
    150 units per sec

    example 200% faster

    100 units x 200% is 200 units per sec bonus
    300 units per sec


    ================================================== =======

    HOWEVER Evony does NOT say 100% faster. Evony says 10% bonus each time.

    This means you get the base 10% bonus plus an additional 10% on the previous bonus!!!!!!!!

    How generous!!!!!!

    ================================================== =======

    Edit: PS showing my work

    10% faster
    100 units/sec + (100 units/sec X 10%)
    100+(100x10/100)
    100+10
    110

    50% faster
    100 units/sec + (100 units/sec X 50%)
    100+(100x50/100)
    100+50
    150

    100% faster
    100 units/sec + (100 units/sec X 100%)
    100+(100x100/100)
    100+100
    200

    200% faster
    100 units/sec + (100 units/sec X 200%)
    100+(100x200/100)
    100+200
    300

    does that clarify it for you?
