>> Theoretical Modellataion / market dinamics (static model)
To calculate the reasonable selling price of any monster
we have to complete/analyze/suggest the following steps:
1. Perspectyve of monsters trading
2. Introduce transformation coefficients of resources
3. Introduce margin relative coefficient
4. Introduce resources prices
5. Solution of matrix with first class differencial equations
6. Example of calculation for monster "Yadozavr"
7. Summary and limitaton of model
So let's begin:
1. To increase the deffensive abilities of army at home
in case of deffence and also in case of attack it is
really not bad to have monsters of other races... At this
moment scorpion sphere is too young however in the future
this kind of business really has some perspectyves...
Even simple monster of your race will be very wanted
by any player of another race...
2. We have 5 types of resources: energy, food, kaderium,
crystals and prodium... Basing on experience of my friend
and some market analysis we have the following resources
relations:
Energy: 12, Food: 8, Kaderium: 4.8, Crystals: 2.4, Prodium: 1
These proportions are more/less ok in case of balanced
advanced economics in sphere approximately in 5-6 months...
When sphere is young these coefficients are not enough
correct however we should look for future...
By other words we can introduce transformation coefficients:
x1 = function (energy)
x2 = function (food)
x3 = function (kaderium)
x4 = function (crystals)
x5 = function (prodium)
Basing on above mentioned values we can define x1..x5 values.
They will be:
x1=1, x2=1.5, x3=2.5, x4=5, x5=12
3. Margin coefficient depends on many parameters, such as:
supply, demand, evolution level, people and so on...
However in this particular case as practice shows
people from another races are ready to buy your monsters
for price ~2.5 times higher than the same class monster
can cost of the same race... Which coefficient you will use
it depends on some things that I will write later.
4. Initial resource prices
p1 - cost of monster production in Energy units
p2 - cost of monster production in Food units
p3- cost of monster production in Kaderium units
p4 - cost of monster production in Crystals units
p5 - cost of monster production in Prodium units
To evaluate monster selfcost in different separate units
there are necessary to solve matrix with parameters.
From one side we have the set of transformaton
coefficients, from another side we have set of prices.
To calculate selfcost of separate parameters we have
to introduce functions that depend on 5 x 5 = 25
parameters.
Let's define them as:
[f1(x1..x5, p1..p5)] = Output Energy
[f2(x1..x5, p1..p5)] = Output Food
[f3(x1..x5, p1..p5)] = Output Kaderium
[f4(x1..x5, p1..p5)] = Output Crystals
[f5(x1..x5, p1..p5)] = Output Prodium
5. The main type of f functions equations are:
f1(x1..x5, p1..p5)=(p1*x1/x1)+(p2*x2/x1)+(p3*x3/x1)+(p4*x4/x1)+(p5*x5/x1)
f2(x1..x5, p1..p5)=(p1*x1/x2)+(p2*x2/x2)+(p3*x3/x2)+(p4*x4/x2)+(p5*x5/x2)
f3(x1..x5, p1..p5)=(p1*x1/x3)+(p2*x2/x3)+(p3*x3/x3)+(p4*x4/x3)+(p5*x5/x3)
f4(x1..x5, p1..p5)=(p1*x1/x4)+(p2*x2/x4)+(p3*x3/x4)+(p4*x4/x4)+(p5*x5/x4)
f5(x1..x5, p1..p5)=(p1*x1/x5)+(p2*x2/x5)+(p3*x3/x5)+(p4*x4/x5)+(p5*x5/x5)
So using these simple expressions we can calculate all we need.
6. Example for Yadozarv monster
using margin relative coefficient for external ring: 2.5
Yadozavr requires: 900 Energy, 1050 Food, 3300 Kaderium,
810 Crystals, 750 Prodium.
Selfcost in Energy units using coefficients x1,...,x5 -> f1=23775
Selfcost in Food units using coefficients x1,...,x5 -> f2=15850
Selfcost in Kaderium units using coefficients x1,...,x5 -> f3=9510
Selfcost in Crystals units using coefficients x1,...,x5 -> f4=4755
Selfcost in Prodium units using coefficients x1,...,x5 -> f5=1981
Using profit (margin) relative coefficient we can sell
this monster for:
60k of energy, or 40k of food, or 24k of Kaderium,
or 12k of Crystals or 5k of Prodium... depends on what
we need at this instance.
7. So using above mentioned model you can simply program
in Excel or another shell the program and very fastly
define not only monster prices but also better evaluate
and analyze the prices on market in general...
Limitations:
because Scrpion sphere is young sphere model sometimes
will not work

. It works better when the process is
ballanced in some duration of time

.
Have a nice day
