Btw, proper testing would be to run 2 different hauntings without changing build or allies. Unload fully only ONCE on each. First one unload only troops, second one unload troops and spies making sure to not catch a regen in the middle of either unload. Be sure also to not use items in either scenario as that would just be another variable to skew results. Your evidence will be in your clan history for all to review
I just tested it like nightmare suggested and I have 19 lvl3 SOS. By assassinating also I made 200 mil more.
Ty for posting this, although most people know and you need big stats for it to make a big difference
Idk if devs changed mechs behind our backs but I've seen it before too. The math was if ur spies are less than 25% of ur total build, u make 10% more plunder if u only attack. Lolwut. nOobseV3RywHeRE
This used to be correct but it seems to have been changed, I tested this again 2 weeks ago. First I scouted a player to get my regen clock up to make sure I wouldn't start hitting near a regen. First Haunt I just attacked 1 fb, second Haunt I attacked a player to get regen clock and Assassed EB 1 fb, ended up making slightly more doing both, the problem is perception, I make so little on Assassin it looks like I'm making more just attacking, 34mil is what I get for a full Spy unload...haha I even tried doing 2 fb of attacks, then 2 fb of Assassin, same result, I know that just attacking used to bring in more gold a few months ago. Remember by doing this every day will cause you to climb a lot slower on Overall lb, as spy actions count for that.
