Are you earning or losing money with every hit? (400k strength)
Io Stefan Voievod
Hello!
On eRepublik day 5,763 (August 31st, 2023) Misho was the first player to reach 400,000 strength. Congratulations! 😎
Since this is a major milestone in eRepublik I have decided to republish a previous article titled Are you earning or losing money with every hit?
Military formulas did not change since then, but market prices did, so let's find out if Misho can still tank for free.
Using your base hit multiplied with your protector level and any additional boosters you can determine if True Patriot rewards cover your food and weapons costs. There's also a Google Sheet link at the end of the article.
We start by calculating our base hit in accordance with the official formula:
In the following table I did the math for my account. Base hit and final hit (after applying the Protector bonus) is the damage done using 10 energy. I'm using Fire Power 200 (Q7 weapons) because no one fights with lesser quality weapons. Since the previous article I've reached Legend XX and Protector 49/50
💪🏼
Let's do some more math and see how much money I'm earning or losing with every 100 million damage done:
Combat Stash increases gold and currency rewards by 10%.
Combat Stash during certain events, like we had during Spring Challenge, increases rewards by 13%.
Values rounded up to the nearest ten.
The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?
It seems that given the current prices I'm tanking for free
😎Even without any damage boosters I'm earning 140 cc for every 100 million damage.
If you produce your own food and/or weapons your Profit/Loss might look better, but you have to understand that there's an opportunity cost, meaning that the energy used to produce those items could've been used in a battle. For some players it's even more profitable to fight, than to produce.
I'm just a poor D1 player so let's test these formulas on a dinosaur that benefits from the Elite Citizen bonus of 10% added to his base hit.

I've created a Google Sheets file which you can copy or download from this link.

The numbers Mason...
For those out of the loop, the quote is from a Call of Duty: Black Ops cutscene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVPT0JT1dOw
great game back in the day
Great.
Ah nice that you added the 150% bonus we got as well!

90% of the high strength people playing this game might not even be aware of the fact that 50/50 protector guys are tanking not just for free. But making a profit.
Some dinosaurs even got 50/50 protector right away and have no idea what it means 😒
...add a BH for every 500M damage or so depending on where you fight and the numbers will look even better.
I took a quick look and I would say that Misho get a BH for every 300M he hits as he doesn't get challenged that often in the battles he enter.
Most battlefields these days are ghost towns, you can reliably secure battle hero medals for much less than 300mil.
I see people getting bh for 300k damage.
Yes. Not 300 million.
It's time to have new ranks beyond LXX otherwise there is no point in simply converting damage to cc.
We have protector for other countries. Also, new ranks would mean more CC produced/account, Plato probably doesn't want this.

Mama... cate cuvinte, cate calcule, eu o sa te cred pe cuvant...
Or in other words, this game is badly designed.
Szlawa Hunkakaricumiko!
I think, it will be fair to add also travel costs to the calculation.
For example, 100cc or 200cc one way.
For bh maybe, for tp unlikely.
