Can you edit this with how much steal bars it takes to get x% from the gold out? It makes the gold loss easier to calculate. I cant yell out in cc that i have 11 sucessfull steal but i can say hb
This seems about right... I always winged it and assumed 1,000 was a little more than half a players gold out
I usually calculated losses with 0,1% loss per steal, which gives pretty much the same result. Whenever you run a strip and add up the reported fb steals run onto the target, depending in the size and spydef of the target, a much more conservative number of 15 or even only 12 successful steals per fb would be appropriate. So you'd basically be at 50% taken after 50 to 60 fbs. 100 fbs would equate to losses around 70-75%, which would be a highly successful strip. Once less than 1,5b is out (if I correctly remember my tests), the amount of gold stolen per steals becomes constant (dependant on relative sizes). Nice reference numbers, handy thread if you are into the osw business.
You better then Einstein as him you don't have to much to do in your spare time then give stupid numbers
Strip mechanics Gold lost. Times stole/full bars* 1% Lost = 13 / 0.72 5% Lost = 65/3.6 10% Lost = 132/ 7.3 25% Lost = 360/ 20 50% Lost = 867/48.1 75% Lost = 1733/96.2 90% Lost = 2877/159 95% Lost = 3743/ 208 99% Lost = 5754/ 320 99.9% Lost = 8632/479 *1 fb= 18 steals
You got those numbers from the future combat thread I'm assuming. They're fairly consistent with mine. Not sure his assumptions or testing methods.
Your % taken is a little off. Test it when stealing from a smaller account (only accounting for buildings and BFA). You'll find that its .08% taken. You're numbers are still pretty close.
With low amount of gold it does, such as 5bil that's y osfs always lowered there spies and held out a few hundred mil. Same reason steal stripping a hansel is extremely difficult to take there last little bit of gold as they losing only a few 100k rather then 4-5mil of an attack build.
You've gotta weigh the fact of stealing from a smaller account to the increase in the ratio from a larger account. I find 0.0009 is a safe middle ground.
Was a good read, anyone else have something for op to add, as in proven factual info, would be appreciated surely but kudos anyway lol
