For instance, if you have either China or US as your faction, you'd usually get multiple seperate boosts to your unit's rate of fire (Propaganda+Horde or Targeteer+Avenger+High Veterancy)
Do these stack additively or multiplicatively ? -------------------- |

Buffs and nerfs stack in an additive way... somehow. It works like this:
-values greater than 100%/1 are added. Say, we have horde (150% RoF) and Propaganda (125% RoF). So the total buff is 175%/1.75. -values smaller than 100%/1 are substracted. Say, the units from above are under effect of the Tear Gas strike (50% RoF). So the total nerf is 50%/0.5. Formula hence: 1.5+1.25-0.5=total multiplicator=1.25 for RoF. Now any mathmatician would tell you this makes no sense, since logically (as I thought before), the formula should go: (base value*multiplicator+base value*multiplicator...)/amount of base values used, so say: (RoF*horde bonus+RoF*propaganda+RoF*Tear Gas)/3=(1.5+1.25+0.5)/3=1.08333 In other words, basicly nothing. The proof that this doesn't apply though is in how The_Hunter coded several counter values for bonii in weapons so these don't become OP by accident and they are always like above, say the counter-value for the 3/2 or 150% RoF is not 2/3 or 67%, but rather 1/2 or 50%. In other words, 3/2-1/2=1. This post has been edited by SoraZ: 26 Jun 2015, 9:50 |
