On the Value of Allies

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by llI_Owen_Ill, Aug 2, 2012.

  1. Hello forums!
    Recently there have been a lot of threads on what is considered good value for an ally, so i have made this, which i hope will give those who need it a few pointers as to what is good.
    I have gone through 16 allys in each first page of the prices I will show. Then I worked out the averages for their combined stats and put their avg. cs into a graph against price. I also show you the min and max cs for each price to show you what you should be aiming for.

    This graph, (if it works :/) shows the average cs against price.

    Then these tables show, (if they work) the max i found on that page.

    So when hiring aim for around the max at that price. Notice that when the allies are from start to one billion their stats stay roughly the same so if you have one billion to spend on allies consider buying 50 20k ones rather than one 1bill one to get more stat bonuses.
    Hope this is useful.

    Don't forget that activity and other things are important. Give feedback so i can edit :)
     
  2. Hmm Graph worked on iDevice but not pc...
     
  3. Your graph, and all this data is inaccurate for the following reasons:

    The data you have shown has been collected on one day. Stats fluctuate all the time, so at times stats below your ones may be the best available.

    People have different preferences, different builds, and sometimes the highest stats are the worst buys.
     
  4. I hate theoretical stuff

    Meaning this is useless 80% of the time
     
  5. Nice enough man.
     
  6. A lot of work has gone into that. Good work

  7. Well done, some people are going to poop on whatever you do because it makes them feel more secure.

    This is a good guideline on where to be looking in terms of a stat range for allies. You mentioned that there is more to buying allies than this graph, so well done
     
  8. Ty lupus, voldy, scrote
     
  9. Good job starting an idea like this rolling. As a suggestion, I'd remove all 0 0 0 0 stat players from consideration. (this would also remove all obviously volley dropped accounts with minimal stats) Should be pretty easy to do of you typed all this into excel. Would give a better average.
     
  10. Nice outline.

    Suckily though it is true it's in constant flux.

    I like how you identified a couple sweet spots to buy for the day though that's interesting.

    Some players buy spies only, actives only, or off players they know who will buy back. A great scam is to buy a guy's alt off him. Works every time.
     
  11. Aww, I'm only worth roughly 75 bil :( good thing my owner loves me ^_^
     
  12. Already a stickied thread...
     
  13. I love KaW, which one is that?
     
  14. I've done this on excel it took me ages. I will do this over a few days to get a better average?
     
  15. The ally market prices thread....
     
  16. That doesn't show cs.
     
  17. Oh sorry, you're right... :oops:
     
  18. Lol it's fine, that's a good thread :)
     
  19. This is very inaccurate.

    I can get allies much better than what you listed, take the time to look and there is always an opportunity.
