Effect of Politics score on Foreman speed

Time to build level 10 wall on my account:

• 0 Politics (no foreman) = 5d 14h 44m = 8084m (Base time without speedup)
• 55 Politics = 4d 21h 42m = 7062m
• 99 Politics = 4d 10h 53m = 6413m

Foreman Time = Base Time / (1 + Politics / X), solve for X

1 + P/X = BT/FT

P/X = BT/FT - 1

X = P / (BT/FT -1)

X = 55 / (8084/7062 - 1) = 380.049

X = 99 / (8084/6413 - 1) = 379.944

So, we're both wrong. Correcting the correction... Greenmanofwow 19:25, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Greenmanofwow, you did not discount the effects of "Giant Strength"

The base time for a level 10 wall is actually 10 days and 16 hours.

This is the equation is as follow:

Actual = Base / (1+ 0.005 * Politics + 0.1 * GiantStrength )

From the numbers you provided, your Giant Strength should be level 9. This would explain the numbers you got

8084 = 15360 / ( 1+ 0.005 * 0 + 0.9)

7062 = 15360 / (1 + 0.005 * 55 + 0.9)

6413 = 15360 / (1 + 0.005 * 99 + 0.9)

You are correct. Thanks for the explanation. Greenmanofwow 18:44, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't have the equation for troop training speed yet due to the massive amount of variations caused by research and buildings, but I suspect that the knight bonus is also 1/200 and that it should be the same format as the politics version, kind of like:

actual = base / ( 1 + 0.005*combat + 0.1*siege research + 0.1*stable level + 0.1* workshop + (1 * barracks and level bonus) )
