unit efficiency

[Tybalt]

here's how it works:
The army value is actually a simple multiplication of the parameters of a unit except the population required.
The efficiency is calculated by this
log (food per hour) to the base of (army value)

As for Tybalt, I saw the thread. Very impressive AND useful. However I am using a generalized formula, while you r paying attention to specialized attribs of the units, i pay attention to all of them.
Eg. A ballista is powerful and has long range but is slow.
A scout is useless as a combat unit but awesome for rapid-fire atk on low-walled villages and towns.
A batram has awesome life but eats 100(F!) food per hour.
The same logic applies for all units.

The case with archers:
They will die a horrible death if there is no meatshield, however WITH a meatshield, they r very close to the best.
Also Tybalt, you hv taken the sum of all resources.
Problem with tht is ...on my server iron costs 15 gold but stone costs .4 gold.
So a simple summation of resources like tht is not really effective. However, replace the "resources" with food per hour. It'll be way more useful(just a suggestion).
If you still think i'm an idiot, post it here and let me see wt i can do abt it!

Did you look at the entire thread?

There is a section that includes attack and range for unit ratings as well as resource/efficiency ratings.

Also, you said you used a logarithmic formula?

Well if you know anything about logarithmic functions you would know that the natural base of a log is 10.

Ex.

Log10(3) = 1000

In variable terms: 3 = y, 10 = b, and 1000 =x

and

x = b^y

Therefore, if you are trying to use this mathematical function as a determining factor for unit efficiency, you need to be very careful where you plug in the numbers.

You can't just do Log 1 to the base 2 and come up with a value for warriors whilst doing log 9 to the base 6 for archers and expect the values to be respective to each other in terms of efficiency.

I'm just saying I hope you knew what you were doing instead of just throwing a bunch of numbers together.

Either way, kudos on the effort.
