Editing Production


= Production =

To grow and prosper, your dominion must '''produce''' certain resources. This is your economy. There are seven different resources to produce, with platinum being the most important as it is used for [[Units|training]], [[Buildings|building]], [[Buildings|rezoning]] and [[exploring]].

== Platinum ==
 
Platinum is produced by two factors: [[Population|peasants]] and [[Buildings|Alchemies]]. Every ''[[Population|employed]]'' peasant produces 2.7 platinum per hour and every Alchemy produces 45 platinum per hour. A dominion's raw (unmodified) platinum production is hence:
 
<code>[(Employed peasants) * 2.7] + (Alchemies * 45) </code>
 
Possible bonuses to platinum production are:
 
*  [[Spells]]
** All races may cast Midas' Touch which increases platinum production by 10%.
** [[Firewalker]] has a spell which increases alchemy production by 15, increasing their ''raw'' production to 60 platinum per hour per alchemy.
* [[Castle Improvements|Science]]
*  [[Wonder]]
** Horn of Plenty
*  [[Races|Racial bonus]]
* [[Teching|Technological advancements]]
 
All bonuses - except for Firewalker Alchemist Flame - are put together and then applied to the raw production. For example, a dominion with 50,000 employed peasants, 500 alchemies, 14.21% Science and Midas Touch on would have the following platinum production:
 
<code>(500*45+50000*2.7) * (1+(14.21+10)/100) = 195631</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Building alchemies is a quick solution but is only recommended during [[protection]] or while exploring if jobs are needed and Guard Towers or Diamond Mines not a part of one's strategy. Most often, one's platinum production is low due to not having enough peasants to fill all jobs, which is remedied by building [[Population|homes or barracks]]. The purpose of the barracks is to move military units out of the homes and make room for more peasants and hence more jobs filled.
 
=== Royal and Elite Guard ===
 
It costs 2% of your platinum production to be a member of the [[Guards|guard]]. This penalty is applied by subtracting 2 from the bonus. The platinum production of the dominion in the above example would, if the dominion is in Royal or Elite Guard, be:
 
<code>(500*45+50000*2.7) * (1+(14.21+10'''-2''')/100) = 192481</code>

== Food ==
 
Food is produced primarily by [[Buildings|farms]] but also by [[Buildings|docks]]. How much food farms produce varies between [[rulesets]]. Assuming Base Ruleset, raw (unmodified) food production is:

<code>(Farms*80)+(Docks*35)</code>
 
Food decays by 1% of the previous hour's stockpile every hour.

Possible bonuses to food production are:
 
*  [[Spells]]
** All races may cast Gaia's Watch which increases food production by 10%.
** [[Wood Elf]] has a spell which increases food production by 20% (not cumulative with Gaia's Watch).
* [[Prestige]]
* [[Castle Improvements|Irrigation]]
*  [[Wonder]]
** Hanging Gardens
** Horn of Plenty
*  [[Races|Racial bonus]]
** Varies depending on [[Rulesets|ruleset]].
* [[Teching|Technological advancements]]
 
All bonuses, except prestige, are added up and added to the raw production. Prestige is then multiplied unto the modified production. As such, a dominion with 250 farms, 20 docks, 8% Irrigation, +15% racial bonus, Gaia's Watch on and 800 prestige would have the following hourly production of food:
 
<code>(250*80+20*35) * (1+(8+15+10)/100) * (1+(800/250*1.02)/100) = 28429</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Most easily and commonly, build more farms and cast Gaia's Watch. Increasing bonuses is a long-term solution. Docks are not intended as a sole source of food, but is more of a bonus and designed to help [[Attacking|attackers]] that need [[boats]].

A dominion can be subjected to [[starvation]] if it runs out of food.

== Lumber ==
 
Lumber is produced solely from lumberyards (''LYs''). The amount of lumber LYs produce varies between [[rulesets]]. Assuming Base Ruleset, raw (unmodified) lumber production is:

<code>(Lumberyards)*50</code>
 
Lumber rots by 1% of the previous hour's stockpile every hour.

Possible bonuses to lumber production are:
 
*  [[Spells]]
** [[Wood Elf]] has a spell which increases lumber production by 10%.
** No other race has a lumber production spell.
*  [[Wonder]]
** Horn of Plenty
*  [[Races|Racial bonus]]
** Varies depending on [[Rulesets|ruleset]]
* [[Teching|Technological advancements]]
 
All bonuses are added up and added to the raw production. Hence, under the Base Ruleset, a [[Wood Elf]] with 3000 LYs and Gaia's Blessing on would produce:

<code>3000*50*(1+(10+10)/100) = 180000</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Build more LYs. If Wood Elf, cast Gaia's Blessing.

== Ore ==

Ore is produced solely from ore mines (''OMs''). Each OM produces 60 ore, making raw (unmodified) ore production:
 
<code>(Ore Mines)*60</code>
 
Ore does not rot or decay.

Possible bonuses to ore production are:

 
*  [[Spells]]
** All races may cast Mining Strength which increases ore production by 10%.
** [[Dwarf]] has a spell which increases ore production by 20% (not cumulative with Mining Strength).
*  [[Wonder]]
** Gnomish Mining Machine
** Horn of Plenty
*  [[Races|Racial bonus]]
** [[Dwarf]] only; varies depending on [[Rulesets|ruleset]].
* [[Teching|Technological advancements]]
 
All bonuses are added up and added to the raw production. A dominion with 1000 OMs, [[Wonders|Gnomish Mining Machine]] and [[Teching|Fruits of Labor]] would have the following ore production:

<code>1000*60*(1+(30+20)/100)) = 90000</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Build more OMs or take Gnomish Mining Machine. If [[Dwarf]], cast Miner's Sight.

== Gems ==
 
Gems are produced by diamond mines (DMs) and their purpose is to be [[Castle|invested into the castle]]. Raw (unmodified) gem production is:

<code>(Diamond Mines)*15</code>
 
Possible bonuses to gem production are:

* [[Gnome]] has +5% gem production
* [[Firewalker]] has +15% gem production
* [[Goblin]] has +10% gem production
 
All bonuses are added up and added to the raw production. A [[Gnome]] with 300 DMs would produce the following amount of gems per hour:
 
<code>300*15*(1+5/100) = 4725</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Build more DMs.

== Mana ==
 
Mana is produced by [[Towers]] and each Tower produces 25 mana per hour. Production formula is hence:

<code>(Towers)*25</code>
 
Mana is drained by 2% of the previous hour's stockpile every hour.

Possible bonuses to mana production are:

*  [[Races|Racial bonus]]
** Varies depending on [[ruleset]].
*  [[Wonder]]
** Great Oracle
* [[Teching|Technological advancements]]
 
All bonuses are added up and added to the raw production. Under Base Ruleset, a [[Dark Elf]] with 500 Towers would have the following hourly production of mana:

<code>500*25*(1+5/100) = 13125</code>
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Build more Towers.

== Research Points ==
Research points (''RPs'') are used for [[teching]] and they are produced or obtain through two ways: by building [[Buildings|Schools]] or [[attacking]] (see also [[atteching]]). For every conquered acre of land, one gains RPs according to this formula:
 
<code>(Conquered acres) * 17 </code>
 
The formula for schools is as follows:

<code> '''min('''(1 - (Schools / Total Land)), 0.5''')'''  </code>

The '''min()''' means that you will always get at least 0.5 RP per school, though this is only reached once you have over 50 % of your land dedicated to schools. 

The only possible bonus to research point production is the [[Nox]] +10% RP racial bonus. This bonus applies to both RPs gained from invasion and RPs produced by schools.
 
=== How to increase ===
 
Attack more or build more schools, but mind the formula. It is not wise to have more than 40% schools because after this point, the RPs undergo diminishing returns. Additionally, you will lack space for other crucial buildings. Daily land bonus also awards 128 RP to help offset the increased cost as land size increases.
