War Surplus - Analysis

Day 2,687, 09:01 Published in Ireland Egypt by PORTOFOLAS

Hello dear erepublikans! As you can see today we have been again offered to buy "War Surplus" packs.

Is it a good offer?
To buy them or not?
Which one to buy? How much?

Well it is not easy to answer these questions. You can see that the most expensive packs offer the most value for given ammount of gold.



What important stuff you get from these packs?

1) Pure damage (big and small bombs) - very valuable in larger packs.
2) Bazookas (only in first 2 packs) - not much value in my opinion.
3) Energy bars (in first and third pack) - very few of them - not valuable.
4) Damage accelerators - not much value.
5) 8h and 2h 100% boosters (last 2 packs) - very valuable.

Now lets see how much damage you get from each pack?
Here is a table with damage values you get from each pack (in millions):



* Price in cc is calculated at rate of 226 cc per gold.
** Bazooka damage used in calculation is not modified by damage boosters.

Now if we sum all the damage in a single pack (from bazookas and bombs):



If we divide damage given from each pack with the price of that particular pack, we get the ammount of damage you buy with a single gol😛



It is obvious that most expensive pack gives most value for the money. Players in d4 will get the most damage for the money, but that ammount of damage is not so large for d4. We can conclude that these packs are infact best for lower division players.

If we divide price of pack in cc with damage (in millions) we get how high CO you need to collect if you want to get all your invested money back (and keep the boosters ofc 😃)



You can see that for d1 you need to throw bombs in battle with CO over 143,5 (to get the free boosters) If you bought only packs for 250 gold. I think that is not too hard to accomplish.

I have personally bought 2 packs for 250 gold each and 2 packs for 100 gold each. I advise d1 players that have extra gold (and upgraded training grounds) to buy one or two packs for 250 gold. Buying packs for 100 gold for d1 players is also probably a good idea.

How will you use your bombs is your personal matter. Last time these packs were available I bought 2 packs for 250 gold each. I used some of my bombs to get BH medals fighting in less important battles, but for countries I like. If you do so (in d1), you can win some not too important rounds in d1 for your allies, but you will loose some gold. The rest of damage I used in important battles, some I gave for free, some I traded for CO. I regret not saving more big bombs for last days since I could get more money than I invested that way.

One important thing to have in mind is that big and small bombs will expire after one month. You must use all your bombs before they expire. If you want, you can prolong "shelf life" of your bombs by buying "Assault Pack" or "Power Pack". Keep in mind that stashes contain only small bombs! Also notice that fighting for your conutry will bring you some extra money from TP medals. I didnt take TP progress into my calcutations. If you dont fight much, you can try to save most of the small bombs for the last week. You can use your small bombs in epic battles to get some PP and collect few "Weekly Challenge" rewards that way. Daily order can be done with bombs. Note that there are no more "x10 gold for BH" days.
