ALLOTTED UNIT PRESTIGE 101

Upon testing again, i found discrepancy. I just tested inf and cav; i found that cav gave me 5 prestige, at which point i realized there must be a randomness factor. So, all of you with different findings than I, you're all correct. In a sense. Guess we just can't set anything in stone.

All the numbers stay in order though right? Infantry lowest and cats highest? If so the guide will still work as written but not with those exact numbers.

You're exactly right, vayne. There is no reason that general proportions and relationships would change. Ex: catapults will always be the best bang for your buck.

So, readers, you can bypass my calculations unless you want to look at some numbers. Otherwise, only pay attention to my "findings".

All findings are relevant.

great guide lol but i pref cats better for long run as you can dominate people in fights and win more prestige if their not cowards and send all units out to hunt before you get their

Bluehair... There is something to say about being a coward and being smart. For instance if I was decimated and trying to rebuild and I know some cowards from another clan were going to chain attack me I'm not gonna leave my small platoon worth of guys in my city and let them kill them.

I do like this guide though... Good work

thanks, kingcorwin.

Hey all, I've edited my guide to represent averages, prestige rounded to the nearest whole number. So, the allotted unit prestige ends up looking like this:

1 infantry unit - 1 prestige
1 cavalry unit - 6 prestige
1 archer unit - 3 prestige
1 catapult unit - 12 prestige

I've also added a new section that shows the efficiency of gaining prestige through training soldiers by main resource cost (ex: 180 iron per infantry unit). After more research, I belive this to be the most accurate representation of prestige efficiency.

EFFICIENCY OF GAINING PRESTIGE THROUGH TRAINING UNITS, BY RESOURCE COST 

1 INFANTRY UNIT
1 prestige
120 wood
100 stone
180 iron
40 crop
440 total resource
1 presige / 440 resources 

1 CAVALRY UNIT
6 prestige
440 wood
550 stone
750 iron
200 crop
1940 total resource
6/1940 = 1 prestige / 323 resources

1 ARCHER UNIT
3 prestige
310 wood
250 stone
320 iron
80 crop
960 total resource
3/960 = 1 prestige / 320 resources 

1 CATAPULT UNIT 
12 prestige
1800 wood
780 stone
990 iron
250 crop
3820 total resource
12/3820 = 1 prestige / 318 resources 

Findings: training catapults is the most efficient method of gaining prestige by resource. Archers come next, followed by cavalry then infantry. DON'T TRAIN INFANTRY FOR EFFICIENT PRESTIGE.

EFFICIENCY OF GAINING PRESTIGE THROUGH TRAINING UNITS, BY TIME

1 INFANTRY UNIT
1 prestige
22 seconds to train
1 prestige / 22 seconds

1 CAVALRY UNIT
6 prestige
52 seconds to train
6/52 = 1 prestige / 8.66 seconds

1 ARCHER UNIT
3 prestige
35 seconds to train
3/35 = 1 prestige / 11.66 seconds

1 CATAPULT UNIT
12 prestige
336 seconds to train
12/336 = 1 prestige / 28 seconds

Findings: Cavalry is by far the fastest way to get prestige by training units. Second best is archers, followed by infantry then catapults. DON'T TRAIN INFANTRY OR CATAPULTS FOR QUICK PRESTIGE.

EFFICIENCY OF GAINING PRESTIGE THROUGH TRAINING UNITS, BY MAIN RESOURCE COST

1 INFANTRY UNIT
1 prestige
180 iron
1 prestige / 180 iron

1 CAVALRY UNIT
6 prestige
750 iron
1 prestige / 125 iron

1 ARCHER UNIT
3 prestige
320 iron
1 prestige / 107 iron

1 CATAPULT UNIT
12 prestige
1800 wood
1 prestige / 150 wood

Findings: Archers are, surprisingly, very efficient. You'll conserve the most resources by training them. DON'T TRAIN INFANTRY IF YOU WANT A LARGE IRON RESERVE OR CATAPULTS IF YOU WANT A LARGE WOOD RESERVE.

It's up to you which method you choose. Just follow this guide!

Ill also edit the original post. Thanks for your comments, m8s!

Very cool guide, glad to see you got it up and running Will have to refer my alliance to this, some very nice info here. Thanks for the hard work

I'm kinda curious about this prestige drop that u were talking about when mass training. Is it more effecient to train 1 troops at a time or does the prestige drop calculate how many troops you already have trained.

Thank you very much. Nice guide.
