Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]That's very interesting. I have some ideas as to why this might happen. First is the plat bonus makes Alchemies better for Icekin.

The results ran counter to what I would assume happens (That smithies are better for the race with the more expensive units) Lets do some more calculations on this. I'll start with Lycanthrope. Lets set a standard of 100 of each building at 100% employment to start with. Plat w/ 100 Alchemies = 10810 Each Werewolf is 800 plat so 13.512 Werewolves with Alchemies per hour Plat w/ 100 Smithies = 6210 Each Werewolf is now 480 plat so 12.9375 As I expected, the 15% plat bonus pushed the results in favor of the Alchemies just as it did for Icekin. The larger your raw income the greater the actual boost the platinum bonus gives, and the smithies bonus stays static wether you are 1000 acres with a 40k income or 3000 acres with a 120k income. Which is why Smithies should be dropped somewhere around 1500 acres, especially if you are exploring. :) -Regis[/quote]

Lets set a standard of 100 of each building at 100% employment to start with.

Plat w/ 100 Alchemies = 10810
Each Werewolf is 800 plat so 13.512 Werewolves with Alchemies per hour

Plat w/ 100 Smithies = 6210
Each Werewolf is now 480 plat so 12.9375

As I expected, the 15% plat bonus pushed the results in favor of the Alchemies just as it did for Icekin. The larger your raw income the greater the actual boost the platinum bonus gives, and the smithies bonus stays static wether you are 1000 acres with a 40k income or 3000 acres with a 120k income.
