I would be happy if mods read this and answer, but other people opinion is welcomed also.
its a little longer, but please read.
I play one realm and i watched one player. It was day 4 in realm. I was arround 180 - 200 points and he came to my 2x so i rumored him but he had little villagers and not much resources so i guess he trained army and i didnt attack. He has only one prov with 6,6 k villagers.
Later i checked him again and he was on 320 point and got huge minus in prov. Rumors showed almost 6k so he was in minus almost 3k for sure. I guessed he attacked somebody. But he got all 0, no attacks or visible army till today.
And for that minus you must send 2 k swords somewhere for 5 h. But no army or atacks till now.
But 3 min later after he had minus he jumped to 341, and in few sec to 342 points.
How is that possible?
Have minus without an army or loan. Even 6h resources with 6,6 k villagers wont bring him so much resources. Only possibility is that he took a loan at that moment. But loan is also small with his villagers.
Second is his points.
I took best farmer score at that point. 120 points, 3 prov. 14 k villagers
66 point for colonizing 2 prov. 66/3 = 22
54 + 22 =76 k gold spent. Even less because he surely have some uni and architecture.
If that farmer invested all in military it would be 76*3 =218 points. And farmer have 3 prov and 14 - 15 k villagers now.
That guy have 6,6 k villagers. He had maximum 9 k. We all start 5k villagers so average for him was 7 k villagers(he got less).
So his production in 4,5 days was.
4,5 days * 38(24 + 10 bonus + 4 voting) *70(7000/100 vilagers) * 5 gold per hour* 1,3(fort 3 bonus) = 77805 = 78 networth. If he puts all in army its 78 * 3 = 234 points. He didnt attack nobody so no extra resources. Adn this calculation is to big for surelly 10-20 procent.
HOW CAN HE BE ON 342 NETWORTH???
Matematicly and logicly impossible. I took 80 k gold from people, have a lot more villagers then him and i am just over 200 networth.
I am not accussing anybody so i am offering possible solutions.
1. Rumors gave me false info, but a million times i get good info from rumors.
2.Explanation of so high net is impossible so its maybe some kind of bug showing networth wrong?
3.I know army dissapeared to some players, false medals and a lot of other bugs.
4.No matter there isnt all players button i know how to see all players. Probably a lot of you also. I know how to make resources dissapear. So is it possible that some guy with a lot of knowledge about data bases found a way to get him free resources because mathematicly i cant explain his networth.
5. My math is wrong.
I am just curious, not accussing anybody. Wish to see what is all possible in IO.
PS. Contact me PM if you wish realm and nick.
