Hi, have searched the forums about this. Does the amount of troops in battle determine how many minutes the battle/siege will go on before ending? If not what does? If so, how does the relation between amount of tickets and amount of battleminutes work?
-
Yes the amount of tickets has influence on the amount of time you get for a battle.
I think it is:
side with largest amount of tickets :arrow: formula :arrow: time

Ok, thx Haboe, and the formula is hidden within chadzes brain corridors?

Really? Noone in the community knows?

Most likely yea :) Maybe some of the other devs know, but i doubt its possible to get the info out of them xD
1600 tickets is more or less ideal in most battles, you won't likely lose tickets by time :mrgreen:
For sieges i prefer 1700+ troops, but only with gear for +-1600.

Just guessing here but it could be the same as the size of your army (the dot on strat map)
Under 100 men you have a tiny dot (very short battle time)
Under 500 but above 99 you have a 'normal' dot (about 30min)
Under (2000?) but above 499 you have a large dot (about 80min)
Above 2000 you have a massive dot but you're just wasting tickets battle time still about 80min (Devs way of stopping an endless battle between 10k men on each side)
As Haboe said it will be dependent on the largest side (attacker or defender)
Dependent on the smallest army (attacker or defender)
However, type (battle, siege, raid) probably takes effect.. so if you siege with under 500 men (presuming they have less or against under 500) you probably still get the 80min as it's a seige to allow time for the building of siege gear.

Ok thanks for clearing that out Vermillon :D

Looking at this again I think Haboe was wrong by the largest army determines the battle length..
I think it's the smallest army that sets the battle time, under the presumption that the larger army will just beat the smaller army by them running out of tickets.
look at the battle times here:

http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesupcoming#!?page=battledetail&id=3674
Each one of these battles is listed 30min after the previous one even when it's 1892 vs 129
Will edit my previous post to make more clear :D
