Regenerate networth table from Round 50 source

'''Networth''', often abbreviated to '''NW''', is one of two metrics by which dominions are ranked, with the other being [[land]]size. 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.
'''Networth''' is a rough estimate of a dominion's strength.


==Sources of Networth==

Networth is gained automatically by gaining acres, constructing [[buildings]], and training [[units]]. The following values are the same for all races:

===Understanding Elite Unit Networth===
Incoming land, incoming buildings, resources, and castle improvements do not add networth. Elite unit networth uses the higher of the unit's current source-calculated offense or defense, including variable unit power where the source networth calculator applies it.
 
== Understanding Elite Unit Networth ==
 
For example, [[Human]] Knights are 2/6, so they are worth 12 networth each. Human Cavalry are 6/3, so they are also worth 12 networth each.


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: <code>2 * max(5, 2)</code>. 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: <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>.
Variable-power elites can have a range. For example, a unit that gains defense from land-dependent scaling has higher networth as that source-calculated defense rises.


==Uses and Limitations of Networth==
== Uses and Limitations ==


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.
Networth is useful as a quick estimate of size and army density, but it does not fully describe a dominion. Networth does not tell you how much of the army is home, how much is out, what the dominion's resources are, or how efficiently the dominion can convert those resources into future strength.

Networth is a rough estimate of a dominion's strength.

Sources[edit]

Source Networth
Land 20
Constructed buildings 5
Spies, assassins, wizards, and archmages 5
Specialist units 5
Elite units 2 x the higher of the unit's source-calculated offense or defense

Incoming land, incoming buildings, resources, and castle improvements do not add networth. Elite unit networth uses the higher of the unit's current source-calculated offense or defense, including variable unit power where the source networth calculator applies it.

Understanding Elite Unit Networth[edit]

For example, Human Knights are 2/6, so they are worth 12 networth each. Human Cavalry are 6/3, so they are also worth 12 networth each.

Variable-power elites can have a range. For example, a unit that gains defense from land-dependent scaling has higher networth as that source-calculated defense rises.

Uses and Limitations[edit]

Networth is useful as a quick estimate of size and army density, but it does not fully describe a dominion. Networth does not tell you how much of the army is home, how much is out, what the dominion's resources are, or how efficiently the dominion can convert those resources into future strength.
