For elite units, the calculation is a bit different. Their networth is based on the total offensive and defensive power they have, according to the following formula:
 
−
 
−
<code>(1.8 * min(6, max(OP, DP))) + (0.45 * min(6, OP, DP))) + (0.2 * (max((OP - 6), 0) + max((DP - 6), 0)))</code>

The above formula is not the easiest to grasp at a glance, so let's break it down. <code>1.8 * min(6, max OP, DP)</code> checks for the highest value between offensive power and defensive power. It then multiplies that value by 1.8, to a maximum of 6 * 1.8. Ergo, units with a highest stat of 5 gain <code>1.8 * 5 = 9</code> networth from this part of the formula.

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 <code>9</code>. Kobold units are always treated as if they are paired. OP/DP is rounded to two decimal places for units with variable stats based on owned 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> to figure out their stats. Then, you apply the previous formula: <code>2 * max(5.7272, 3.7272) = 11.4544 -> 11.45</code>.
−
 
 
−
Conversely, <code>0.45 * min(6, OP, DP)</code> checks for the lowest value of OP and DP, and multiplies that by 0.45, again to a maximum of 6 * 0.45. Ergo, a unit with a lower stat of 2 would gain <code>0.45 * 2 = 0.9</code> networth.
 
−
 
 
−
For most elite units, this is enough to calculate their value. The [[Nox]] Lich, which has 5 OP and 2 DP as of writing, has a networth of <code> 1.8 * 5 + 0.45 * 2 = 9.9</code>. A [[Firewalker]] Phoenix, with its 0/4.5 stats, has a networth of <code>1.8 * 4.5 + 0.45 * 0 = 8.1</code>. This also applies for units with variable stats based on owned 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> to figure out their stats. Then, you apply the previous formula: <code>1.8 * 5.7272 + 0.45 * 3.7272 = 11.9862</code>.
 
−

However, as stated, these two parts go up to a maximum value of 6 OP or DP. In order to calculate the excess, like for [[Gnome]] Juggernauts, you use the third part: <code>(0.2 * (max((OP - 6), 0)</code>. Since Juggernauts are 7/3, the calculation for them looks as follows: <code>1.8 * 6 + 0.45 * 3 + 0.2 * (7-6) = 12.35</code>. This goes for each value that reaches above 6.

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

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

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. Kobold units are always treated as if they are paired. OP/DP is rounded to two decimal places for units with variable stats based on owned 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 to figure out their stats. Then, you apply the previous formula: 2 * max(5.7272, 3.7272) = 11.4544 -> 11.45.

Uses and Limitations of Networth

Networth is often used as an indication of relative strength, but it has significant limitations. For example, Merfolk that explore with Leviathans only will have a significantly lower NW than a Human doing the same with Knights. Leviathans are 0/7, which translates to 11 networth, while Knights are 2/6 and 11.7 networth. In addition, networth does not capture things like mod buildings, e.g. Guard Towers, Temples, or Gryphon Nests, nor does someone's Castle have any impact. Lastly, 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.
