UPDATE: Thanks to all who have voted this article into the top spot in the eUS and the eWorld. Also, I would like to make it clear that I am not saying that nobody ever gets 5 Gold or more, but that I am simply putting foward data that I collected. Furthermore, I DID NOT steal this idea from anyone else.
Treasure Map Research Project Results
Recently, I decided to do a bit of research on treasure maps (see the original article here.) Basically, I messaged all of the winners of the presidential elections and asked them how much they got from the treasure map they received as a reward from winning and whether it was a “treasure of kings”. I’d like to thank all of responders, as I got 49 responses, a large majority of those who I sent a message to.
Looking at my results, I found something that greatly surprised me, and it is the main result of my research.
NOT 1 OUT OF 49 GOT 5 GOLD OR MORE!
This is significant, because it clearly shows that with treasure maps, less gold is being given out (on average) than with the 5 Gold reward rule. I would like to point out, however, that the admins never promised that treasure maps would give us equal or more gold.
These are the results:
Mean: 4.04
Median: 4 Gold
Mode(s): 3.36 Gold, 3.5 Gold, 3.59 Gold, 4.18 Gold, 4.2 Gold, 4.8 Gold
Min: 2.39 Gold
Max: 4.96 Gold
Range: 2.57 Gold
This data shows that, on average, treasure maps give around 4 Gold. All of the treasure maps I analyzed were opened within a short time period (June 6-
It is also very interesting to note that one of the responders got a “Treasure of Kings”, but it was worth only 3.5 Gold, which is less than the average!
I also want to note that, to make it so there is an average of 5 Gold, one more person would need to respond with a treasure map value of 51.97 Gold.

😎, so this data does not take into account the possibility that treasure map values have been declining over time, as suggested by this very good article.
It is also very interesting to note that one of the responders got a “Treasure of Kings”, but it was worth only 3.5 Gold, which is less than the average!
I also want to note that, to make it so there is an average of 5 Gold, one more person would need to respond with a treasure map value of 51.97 Gold.

Bring back the old system! I'm sick of these treasure maps. I don't have the money to buy gold, so I rely on these treasure maps, but now the maps aren't giving out as much gold as before. ADMINS, TAKE AWAY THE MAPS
This is really interesting. Will you be compiling info on treasure maps and updating the info, or is this the end of the research?
I may do some more research, I am not sure yet.
yes but I heard some players received 40 something gold. Maybe that's why all the rest receive less than 5. My first treasure was above 5 and the second above 5.

My first and second treasure maps gave me more than 5 golds each
Now it seems that it is very difficult to receive more than 5 golds...so sad

the max for me was 4 and half
i have had two over 5 my first and my hard worker medal how ever i didn't record it so cant say for sure exact amount but was over 5
This is great, thanks for making what we all suspected public.
i think TM have it's good point
but ADMINS, please make 5 gold as the minimum
well to be honest i expected similar results myself ... although i took part in it i knew the answear : Erepublik inventors menaged to sell a cheap story and save more cash for themselfs ... dont you get it? if you will get less and less from maps many ppl will get mad and start buying gold for real cash
I know that it must earn cash to proceed but Daam its starting to make me sick ;/ Shame that erepublik went for our cash that soon ...
I think you should ask more than 49 people. for example all comngressmens from next 2 months to have good result of your research.
I have 680 results instead of these 49

I love Treasure Maps!!!!!!!!!!!
treasure maps are shit...
voted!
this whole thing about TMs is soooooooo stuuuupiiiiiid.....
all of maps of mine were under 4! Thank you for your research!
Max for me was 5,25G
So ture. So sad... 🙁
lol, the president medal prize was 10 gold when there were no maps :/
from 8 maps....i recieved 2 times less than 5 gold...5 times around 5.7 , and 1 time 6.06 😃
this just a measure taken by the admin so that we have to BUY goldfrom them cuz nobody does it. They need to finance their game and that's how they chose to do it.
My max gold was today 4.97!!! WOW ALMOST 5!........ ALMOST
i open 3 treasure map so far gave me 4.44 ,3.70 and 4.32 gold.
i lost 2.54 gold !
Interesting article - I don't buy gold so I rely on rewards and maps! Well done for raising interest about this! VOTED
this isn't my case the second treasure map i found show me a king's treasure
Yep... This is a big problem. Vote.
I don't have the money to buy gold, so I rely on these treasure maps, but now the maps aren't giving out as much gold as before.
The "why they won't put the old system back?" answer is here!
I recived 48 gold from one of the treasury maps🙂
Lucky i guess...
Month ago I recived 47.36G
All others are betwen 3.01 - 4.73G

agree
And one out of how many people get legendary treasure maps? Very few I think.
Admins ruin the game.
So far I've only got 1 treasure map, and that was 5.12 gold for me. Guess I was lucky.
Well, I think this new system compensates the less GOLD received for each map with a Treasure of the Kings, once in an e-life😁
I never got more than 4 golds.
voted and sub 😉
vote....I hate these maps
Vote for the old good 5 gold reward!
In the first times, the range seemed to be between 4.1-5.8 golds. I think the programmers simply modified a variable (the mean value) from 5 golds to 4 golds.
"It is also very interesting to note that one of the responders got a “Treasure of Kings”, but it was worth only 3.5 Gold"
Oh sh*t it can't be true, right? :/
My last one was only 3.8something...
But that's normal.They want to earn more money by decreasing the amount on TM.Only first TM led me to 5.04....
