Troop Tips

[Bingeling]

I think they used to be the cheaper alternative. Your image clearly shows they got the same maintenance now.

Confirmed and posted as a bug by ...(shit forgot forum name, sorry). Should be a relatively easy fix.

Anyways, the raw troop strengths for the vanilla races, sorted from highest to lowest.

Code: Select all

 Naxxilian 129  0.60  215
 Shakturi  164  0.80  205
 Ikkuro    132  0.70  188  
 Mortalen  138  0.75  184
 Boskara   134  0.75  178
 Sluken    130  0.80  162
 

I have added the race bonuses to troop maintenance and computed the most cost effective troops. Also, does your table take into account the strength bonuses from races? Like the Naxxilians have +10 if having Jakanta Ivory?

Here, I have it saved:

Code: Select all

 Name		Strength			General
 Teekan		65				
 Atuuk		68  (+5 with Caguar Fur)	
 Ketarov		72				
 Ugnari		72				
 Securan		76				
 Shandar		81				
 Wekkarus	84				
 Mechanoid	85				
 Ackdarian	88								
 Gizurean	92  (+5 with Nekros Stone)	
 Quanemo		95
 Zenox		104 (+5 with Osalia)	
 Human		121 (+5 with Emeros Crystal)
 Haakinosh	124			
 Dhayut		126 (+5 with Osalia)	 	Y
 Kiadan		128			
 Naxxilian	129 (+10 with Jakanta Ivory) 	
 Sluken		130 (+5 with Questurian) 
 Ikkuro		132 (+5 with Osalia)		
 Boskara		134 (+5 with Aculon)		 
 Mortalen	138				Y
 Shakturi	164				
 

"General" means they're guaranteed one at the start of the game.

The table of the top cost effective troops is then as follows:

Code: Select all

   
 Naxxilian 139*  0.60  231
 Shakturi  164   0.80  205
 Ikkuro    137*  0.70  195  
 Boskara   139*  0.75  185
 Mortalen  138   0.75  184
 Sluken    135*  0.80  168
 

Which makes the Naxxilians the best by far. They are the most cost effective, and together with the Boskara they share 2nd place as most space effective (losing only to the Shakturi).
