How to profit from full training

Day 2,236, 06:54 • Published in Serbia Pakistan • by Dio Hostilian

I saw an article today about people fighting for true patriot medals in the battles that haven't only been won, but battles with walls nearing 100% which is quite common in eSerbia. So, I decided to actually calculate how much do people have to earn on a monthly basis to sustain the full training.

Well, it seams people don't have to earn anything, instead, with current state, they get to profit from simply training and fighting (assuming they do ~230 hits per day which isn't too much).

Here's how it works.

The cost of full training is 0.19 + 0.89 + 1.79 = 2.87 gold per day.

If you have all Q4 training centers (if you don't try to upgrade them as soon as possible, most governments have some training center upgrade programs, so that shouldn't be that hard), you'll get 20 + 10 + 20 + 40 = 90 strength per day.

But that's not all, the daily bonus for working and training gives you an additional 1 strength and on the fifth day additional 5 strength (on average that is (1+1+1+1+5)/5 = 9/5 = 1.8 strength per day).

But, even that's not all. If you reach 1600 prestige points (which is 1600/7=228.57 hits per day), you'll get additional strength from the weekly challenge. In lower divisions you'll get 10+25+30+35=100 strength per week, while in upper divisions you get 15+20+25+30+35=125 strength per week.

If we calculate how much money in super soldier medals that is, we get the following:

d1,d2: (90+1.8+100/7)*30 / 250 * 5 = 106.09*30 / 250 * 5 = 12.73 * 5 = 63.65 gold
d3,d4: (90+1.8+125/7)*30 / 250 * 5 = 109.66*30 / 250 * 5 = 13.16 * 5 = 65.79 gold

In 30 days you'll also get a hard worked medal which is additional 5 gold.

The 90% discount training contract costs 53 gold and makes your daily training cost only 0.287 gold.

To sum that all up, to be able to train fully for a month you need

53 + 0.287*30 = 61.61 gold

Now notice you earn more than 61.61 gold by just training, working and fighting twice a day.

d1,d2: 63.65 - 61.61 = 2.04 gold monthly profit
d3,d4: 65.79 - 61.61 = 4.18 gold monthly profit

and that is if you don't get any other medal, true patriot, freedom fighter, battle/campaign hero (which usually cost, so aren't really a source of income, maybe in lower divisions only), congress, ...

Of course, you have to get enough food (and, if you wish, weapons) to be able to regain 2800 wellness (230×hit + 1×work + 4×train). Q3 food is usually the most cost effective. Current price of Q3 food in eSerbia is 0.17 cc. For 2800 wellness you need 2800/6 = 466.67 units per day which is 79.33 cc. On the monthly basis that sum gets to 2380 cc per month. Current salary in most countries is somewhere around 30 cc which earns you 900 cc per month, leaving 1.480 cc (or 7.67 gold) you have to earn to be able to eat.

But, there's a catch. Most people are in some kind of military unit so they probably are able to get enough food from them. Also, almost all political parties give food to their members, especially when there are elections. Besides, most people have some companies and are quite capable of earning at least 100 cc per day.

Even if you are not in a MU, and don't have extra factories, all you have to earn to be able to train fully every month is 7.67 - 2.04 = 5.63 gold for lower divisions or even less 7.67 - 4.18 = 3.49 gold for upper divisions. When you divide that to get the daily figure you get 5.63/30 * 199 = 0.19 gold * 199 = 37.35 cc per day for lower divisions or 3.49/30 * 199 = 0.12 gold * 199 = 23.15 cc per day for upper divisions. And that is around the sum you'd earn with one Q5 WRM factory and probably less than you'd get if you shout "I need some cash". And then, there are battles with COs, so it is highly unlikely you are unable to earn at least that much per day.

Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for people to complain that they need to fight in won wars to get the medals. With just one extra medal per month one gets all expenses covered even with no additional income sources.
