Re: Resources And Vehicle Timers for Upgrade Balance


They said resources get paid out to players like dividends and that population mattered.

Probably doing something very simple that scales, like....

P = C * R / N

Where
P = Player Payout
R = Resource Amount Controlled (as listed on map)
N = Total number of same-faction players on the continent or population ratio
C = Some constant (a weight)

There's probably some minimum & maximum factored in to handle extreme cases but I omitted for simplicity, particularly for P and/or N.

So payout is inversely proportional to population and directly proportional to resources controlled. So if you have 2x the resources of another empire but also 2x the population, then both empires get the same payout.
