Training Contract is a Much Better Deal Than Previously Thought
Mr. Rotondi
When I was analyzing the effect of the training contact on training costs I did not consider the fact that the other TCs cause an increase in the rate of Super Soldier Achievements and their 5 gold pay out. With either the 50% or 90% contact you still have net loss but vastly reduced loss. Details below.
Costs (all TCs) over 30 days (as computed in previous article)
No Contract 86.10 (100.0%)
50% Contract 68.05 (79.03%)
90% Contract 61.61 (71.56%)
Revenue over 30 days from Super Soldier Achievements
Free TC Only: 12
All TC Used: 54
Using the Free TC only will net 12 Gold in 30 days due to no cost.
Net Effect (all TCs) over 30 days
No Contract -32.10 (100.0%)
50% Contract -14.05 (43.77%)
90% Contract -7.610 (23.71%)
So when the super soldier gold is taken into account then the 50% contract reduces training expense to less than half and the 90% contract reduces the training expense to less than a quarter 
. In the case of the 90% contract you would be spending about 0.254 gold a day for all training, which is only slightly higher than using the 0.19 gold facility.
In conclusion the training contracts are not only a good deal deal but an excellent one.
It is also worth noting that Ardikus V2 pointed out that the 0.19 camp fully upgraded can lead to a net profit. I did the calculations and he is correct. In 12.5 days you will get 5 gold if you only use the free TC. If you also use the 0.19 gold TC you will get in the same period 5.125 gold. So investing in both free and 0.19 gold TCs is a very good idea.
At the time this article was written the is 5 hour left on signing training contracts. If you have the gold available sining a contract makes a lot of sense.

My name was in it
They are only a good deal IF you use all 4 training grounds. For those of us that don't, they are a gold waster.

That is true. My conclusion is based on the assumption that the gold would be constantly spent on all TCs anyway. In fact as I showed in a previous article unless you unless you use all four TCs all the time the contracts are not the least bit helpful.
However putting aside the training contract issue, if you have a q4 0.19 gold training ground you can actually end up with slightly more gold than you would using only the free TC. However it's only +2.5% difference.
Full train, you'll save 27 gold. That's it. : P
