Some units have variable stats based on land, buildings, or [[prestige]]. For example, a [[Wood Elf]] has 54.54 % Forest. Druids are 3*/1*, gaining +1/+1 per 20 % Forest, so in order to calculate their actual stats, you have to do the following first: <code>3 + 54.54 / 20 = 5.7272</code> and <code>1 + 54.54 / 20 = 3.7272</code>. Then, you apply the formula and round to two decimal places: <code>2 * max(5.7272, 3.7272) = 11.4544 -> 11.45</code>. |

Networth, often abbreviated to NW, is one of two metrics by which dominions are ranked, with the other being landsize. Contrary to land, networth does not affect one's ability to interact with other dominions, e.g. through guards. Instead, it is used as a rough metric to rank relative strength of dominions, though it has limitations.
Sources of Networth[edit]
Networth is gained automatically by gaining acres, constructing buildings, and training units. The following values are the same for all races:
| Source | Networth | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Land | 20 | |
| Constructed Buildings | 5 | Incoming buildings do not count. |
| Spies, Assassins, Wizards, Archmages | 5 | Units in-training do not count. This also applies to base units you use to train greater units. |
| Specialist Units | 5 | Units in-training do not count. |
| Elite Units | 2x the highest OP/DP value | Units in-training do not count. |
Understanding Elite Unit Networth[edit]
For most elite units, the calculation is simple. The Nox Lich, which has 5 OP and 2 DP as of writing, has a networth of 10: 2 * max(5, 2). A Firewalker Phoenix, with its 0/4.5 stats, has a networth of 9. Some units have variable stats based on land, buildings, or prestige. For example, a Wood Elf has 54.54 % Forest. Druids are 3*/1*, gaining +1/+1 per 20 % Forest, so in order to calculate their actual stats, you have to do the following first: 3 + 54.54 / 20 = 5.7272 and 1 + 54.54 / 20 = 3.7272. Then, you apply the formula and round to two decimal places: 2 * max(5.7272, 3.7272) = 11.4544 -> 11.45.
Uses and Limitations of Networth[edit]
Networth is often used as an indication of relative strength, but it has significant limitations. Networth does not capture things like mod buildings, e.g. Guard Towers, Temples, or Gryphon Nests, nor does someone's Castle have any impact. Unit composition also matters. A Firewalker explorer going for a strategy with plenty of defensive specialists will have lower networth than one whose defence is all Phoenix, provided they have the same land and raw defence. Therefore, caution must be exercised when comparing individual dominions. However, provided that is done, it is a good way to quickly assess who is likely to have high OP within your range, or who could be a good target if you are looking to hit someone. In addition, it is also possible to estimate how many spies and wizards someone possesses, bypassing part of the limitation of Clear Sight.
