Damage and Influence in Battles & How Strength and Rank effect on it

Day 1,891, 12:15 • Published in Pakistan China • by M.N.A

Hi everyone, this is my first article as it was the most important thing i wanted to know about the Erepublik, asked many seniors about it, reading some guides and finally trying to compile it here so what i learn, may share with other new players....

First have a look at Military Ranks (more detail here...http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Military_rank





The function for influence is:

Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40) (1 + Weapon/100)
Now a simple example to understand it. For a player with Rank Colonel** (36 from wiki), 1300 strength and without weapon the Influence per hit will be:

Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40) (1 + Weapon/100)
= ( (36-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((1300/10)+40) (1 + 0/100)
= (35/20 + 0.3) × (170) (1)
= (1.75 + 0.3) × 170 = 2.05 × 170 = 348.5

So this player will do 348.5 influence per hit!!!


Now lets see the function that is used when you attack the opponent across you! This is the function:
Damage = (60 + ((Your strength-opponent's strength)/10)) × (1 + (Your weapon-opponent's weapon)/400) / 2
So for an example let's use for opponent Strength 1350 and for weapon q4 (80). The one that attacks will be the same with the previous example! Let's go:

Damage = (60 + ((Your strength-opponent's strength)/10)) × (1 + (Your weapon-opponent's weapon)/400) / 2
= (60 + ((1300-1350)/10))(1 + (0-80)/400) / 2
= (60 + (-50/10))(1 + (-0.2))/2= (55)( 0.8 )/2= 22

So 22 damage per hit!



Now a difficult one! How does the influence evolve per strength acquired? We will find out. The influence function is:
Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40) (1 + Weapon/100)
We don’t need the last part about the weapon. Any calculation is with no weapon so it will be 1 and it does not affect the result. So:

Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40)

Now the example to find out what we need! Here we will use a player with Rank Private and strength 10. Lets see what influence he does:

Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40)
= ((2-1)/20 + 0,3) × ((10/10)+40)
= (1/20 + 0.3) × (1 + 40)= (0.05 + 0.3) × (41) = 0.35×41= 14,35

Now again the same with one strength more:

Influence = ((Rank-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((Strengh/10)+40)
= ((2-1)/20 + 0,3) × ((11/10)+40)
= (1/20 + 0.3) × (1,1 + 40)= (0.05 + 0.3) × (41,1) = 0.35×41,1= 14,385

The difference is what we want:
Influence1 - Influence2 = 14.35 - 14.385 = 0.035
So a Private do 0,035 influence per strength acquired. Its a small amount but don’t forget its a small rank (the smallest that can fight!). This process is a little big and boring so I made an easier one. This function is quicker and it doesn’t require the strength of the player!!! Here it is:

Influence per Strength = 0,03 ((Rank - 1)*0,005)

Easy enough! You can see here that the Influence is heavily affected by the Rank!

The last (but not least) is how much strength is needed for the influence to raise by one. Lets see the function:

Influence (here we will put 1 because we want only 1 in this one) = Influence per Strength * Amount of Strength needed to add one more Influence
1 = IpS * AoS ===> To simplify things
AoS= 1 / IpS

Lets see now an example! We will use again the Private! For IpS we will use the previous calculated 0.035 that we found! So:

AoS= 1 / IpS = 1 / 0,035 = 28,57

We know now that a private needs 28,5 strength to raise the influence by one more! Its very much but think that its the smallest Rank! For a Field Marshal is only 4.25 strength for 1 influence!
