Hi! I 'm new to OpenFront and have stumbled on the Data Analysis by @tame kettle and loved it !
As a Data Science student, I couldn't resist trying to build on that and analyze the best openers :

More Data surrounding attacking bots, players, and overall numbers would be fun, i'll try to do that if I have time

Tell me what you think !

Very nice! Of course, that presumes a constant click rate...

Wow, this is very interesting. I was hoping someone with more knowledge on the subject would do something like this, so I am very thankful to you.

in my experience. I think in this game its more important to try to get as large final troops count as possible after start up expansion instead of largest amonth of land. Most of time more troops allow you to conquer bots faster and get their gold and then get cities faster. This gives you better advantage in early game than trying to maximize land gain early on.

# cursive cargo Thank you for your insight ! How balanced would you suggest them to be ? 30 / 70...

In most of cases it is best not to expand too much to gain land but stop it at some point and let your troops count stack up so you can conquer all easy bots before your opponent can do it. If you do it right you often get 3 cities and double troops in same time what it takes those who expand as much land as possible just to get one city. I think most optimum way of playing this game is more complex than just trying to maximize land or troop count. Also this is just general rule there are cases where you need to play differently and its ok if there is good reason for it.

Relevent analysis by me. I think we arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the 2-2.5 seconds and 10-12% attack ratio combo is best.

I think @unborn belfry makes an excellent point that is very much worth testing. I’m guessing there is a point where not expanding enough keeps your replacement rate too low to snowball in the early stages.

this is super interesting
Is it still accurate?

Oh wow I didn't know there's real math being done on this even if its done a year ago

#

I came across recent posts in v31 where ppl still do 10-12% at a 2 second intervals, so should still be a solid strat

Can someone do this again
