Pillage-what is the Salvage Ratio

[Atreides]

Yeah, I'm having trouble figuring out what the data fields in pillage actually correspond to. i.e. how you determine how much your pillage will do.

 

[Slapshot136]

Data - Salvage cost ratio - the total cost of the building x this x the damage done is the amount of gold/wood given

 

[AceHart]

The default has step = 1 and ratio = 0.5.
Which means that every 2 hits you get 1 gold.

With step = 5 and ratio = 0.33 you get 5 gold every 3 hits. (Roughly, 0.33 * 3 isn't exactly 1...)


Ratios higher than 1.0 are to be avoided

Note: this is for beating up units. Never tested that with buildings... I guess though it's the same...


Cost of unit? Don't think that's involved here... or is it?

thanks Acehart I think that explains it well enough
