Hi All, I just wanted to share some thoughts on the possibilities in the tournament. I only participated in the 12H challenge. I played Barbarians, as I am the most experienced with them. I think the theoretic maximum military value for 12H is somewhere around 11000. With better start and better logistic compared to my game. For example I was not sailing, but now I would start with a boat as soon as possible, and sail to the red location, where the green area gives the best opportunity to build a tree abundant economy - doubling the tree production with the blue and red starting position area. This should enable with good transportation system a quick growing and expanding economy. Also I think within one game it is not really possible to successfully compete in both the high military value, and fully promoted soldiers. I have calculated (for the barbarians) the best "military value/resource spent" is to only train two level evade and no attack and health.: This only costs: 1 iron ore 2 coal 2 strong beer 2 meat 2 pitta bread (or three, I am not sure if level 2 evade is one or two breads) This results 3 military value. (1 basic + 2 evade) A fully promoted soldier has 1 basic + 5 attack + 3 health + 2 evade = 11 military value This costs: 16 iron ore 4 gold ore 32 coal 2 strong beer 8-10 meat & pitta bread So as soon as someone starts to promote the soldiers towards the fully promoted, he/she spends a lot of resources, losing military value compared to the "simple" soldiers way. Maybe you already knew this all, but wanted to share. Thank you einstein13 for handling the tournament duties/management. :) Looking forward for the next challenge... Regards Ferenc

My results are: 22035 points at 12h 83230 points at 24h 61195 points difference x top-soldiers - I don't know how big x is, as I don't know how to use the .lua-script. How does one do that?
Great feature, thanks a lot
From my point of view you don't have to be sorry because you don't have to participate in tournaments, especially not in such an extreme tournament.
Hi Ferenc, welcome at Widelands.org!
Very interesting, as I achieved almost-exactly 200% of that Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

I do not think 'fun' is a good word to use. I abandoned a second run after 22 hours mainly due to boredom but also because save games got broke by a system update.

WorldSaviorI have to admit that this was a bit surprising and it was expected at once. So first, let's show his results from 2 games: Barbarians play (24 hour challenge for soldier power):
Atlanteans play (24 challenge for high soldiers)

Official announcement - end of the tournamentI am happy to say that the tournament is done. We had several participants and all the games were great! And what was at first not expected, we have only one winner: WorldSaviorCongratulations to him! He sent his results just before the end of the time and those results are very impressive. All the savegames and replays are available here. After-tournament revengeDo you need any revenge? Do you want to improve your results? It is the best time! I will receive messages from you for a some time. Probably half of year or so. That will be a possibility to update the lists and beat everyone. Feel free to play Widelands! Feedback neededAlso I have a question to all participants: what are your feelings about this type of the tournament? What can be changed? Maybe you have similar ideas like this? Do you want another tournament like that? Posting the messagePlease, GunChleoc or another admin here, post a message that WorldSavior win and possibility of revenge. Maybe something like this: Economy tournament 2018: and the winner is...Worldsavior!He managed to surprise everybody with his results in all categories. All the scores are available at the end of this post. Hopefully you have enjoyed this type of tournament and there will be another one! Possibility of revengeAlso, if you missed the dates or you want to revenge, there will be a possibility to send me any new game result and I will update the lists to show those good games! einstein13

Well, highest soldier power could of course be achieved by only making level 3 soldiers, which are cheaper. I didn't try that, because playing a second time would be boring (actually I started a second game, but after like 3 hours I gave up). So, for those huge values of power I was not really competing with worldsavior. I was only really competing for number of fully promoted soldiers, and I was only outdone by a 15%. I thinkk the theorical high value is aroound 10000 after 12 hours for high level soldiers and 30000 for low level soldiers. I would have been really surprised if worldsavior could significantly beat those values. that he did only mildly better than me says my approach was solid and my estimate correct.

For sure WorldSavior found best strategy from all of us. That is he won the tournament in all cases. I am not sure if there is even better strategy, but for sure I will try to beat him. That will be hard, but possible. Maybe Barbarians are the best choice for that? And for sure Build19. Current dev build prevents of making infinite number of soldiers in a short time. einstein13
