Title: ENY modifier for Field Owned Percentage...
Post by: Swatch on August 24, 2009, 01:51:47 PM
I was just in Blue arena, Knights own 60% of their fields and 0% Rook/Bish fields (about 20 total I think), Rooks and Bish own 40 fields each.   Bish have 45 people, Knights have 45 people, Rooks have 18.   Bish ENY is 26, Knight eny was 23.

Overall, I don't find all that much wrong with ENY, but here was an instance where I felt it hurt rather than helped.   I wish for a Modifier to ENY that takes into account the % of your fields owned.  Obviously if you own less than 100% of your fields and are hit by an ENY of 23, it makes it difficult to retake your own fields.  I don't expect this to be a large impact to the ENY, and I only would like to see it affect it when you own a fraction of your own fields.  Perhaps it is even as simple as follows.

Knights own 60% of their own fields, 0% of other teams.  Multiply current ENY by % of your own fields owned.  That 23 ENY now becomes 13.8.  Still a fairly high ENY, but not unusable.

I know what you're saying though... what if the Knights owned 20% of the rook fields in addition to 60% of their own.  Well, add their percentage * 2.  Why times 2?  Because an opponents field is worth double to you, its one that you have & one they are supposed to have.  So now the Knights would see 100% of the ENY they are supposed to.  [60+(20*2)=100] * ENY = 100% of ENY.

And if this modifier ever gets to be over 100%, then just throw it out.  This way it is a one way modifier, and won't worsen the ENY.


To Recap:

Team   # of Players   # of Fields   % of Fields owned (B/K/R)   Current ENY    Modifier   Proposed ENY
Bishops   46   41   (100%/15%/3%)   26.7    N/A   26.7
Knights   45   20   (0%/60%/0%)   23.5    0.6   14.22
Rooks   18   39   (0%/25%/97%)   0    N/A   0

Or in another Reality:

Team   # of Players   # of Fields   % of Fields owned (B/K/R)   Current ENY    Modifier   Proposed ENY
Bishops   46   41   (69%/15%/3%)   26.7    1.051   26.7
Knights   45   20   (0%/60%/9%)   23.5    0.782   18.33
Rooks   18   39   (31%/25%/88%)   0    1.0   0
1:  The Bishops only own 69% of their fields, but they own 15% and 3% of their opponents, so their modifier is 0.69+(2*(0.15+0.03))=1.05.  This is greater than 1.0 however, so it is effectively ignored.
2:  The Knights own 9% of the Rook fields, so their modifier is 0.60+(2*(0.09+0.0)) = 0.78.

Yes I too feel there should be some modifications to ENY, and this seems reasonable  :aok

I don't fight fields, I fight against players.
When the enemy is outnumbering me 3-1, I don't care how many fields he has...

...and if you have numbers and can't take the fields back there is something wrong or it really doesn't matter that much anyway.
