Rise of Tyrants Age 2 beta: Treasure Chests

...mopping the floor with other games since 2004

Treasure chests are nifty things with cool stuff in em.

You can get one by either successfully spying on someone who has a chest, or by being given one randomly by the server (which happens about once every 5 or 10 seconds to another person)

There is no limit to how many chests you can get, and there is no limit to how many chests you might find on a page. You just need to spy in order to find them on other people.

You may occasionally open multiple chests at once. This is done no differently than opening a single chest, but in the case of having more than one chest on you, the game automatically opens the rest of them for you.

Treasure chests will contain one of the following:

Soldiers - We don't know how they all got in there, but they instantly pop out and are added to your army. If you're already pretty large, don't expect much help from this chest.

Gold - More gold is always good! This gold goes in your vault now, as does the gold you make from every attack. Thus, it cannot be stolen back from you.

Unit production upgrades - Probably the most important upgrade in the game. If yours is already high, don't expect much from this either.

Magic Hot Potato - This is the same as a normal hot potato, but it cannot be knocked off you if someone attacks. This is very rare, don't be expecting this too often.

Turns - This is even more rare, and is only found when you are dangerously low on turns. Consider it a blessing!

How the chest contents are calculated

There is a certain calculation that will base itself upon your existing status and provide a lower and upper range for the soldiers, gold, and unit production chests. The exact contents are then randomly chosen from that range.

The other two chests are far more rare (i.e. 1/1000th of a chance or less) and require certain conditions to be met first. Additional prizes may be available in treasure chests as the game develops. Some of them may be revealed, others you may have to wait and find out for yourself. ;)

Modifiers

While you have a tater (hot potato or magic tater), the upper limits of the ranges in this calculation are raised such that on average they are twice as big.

While the Chest Fest event is in effect, on chests that you STEAL from other people, the final calculation before your army is supplied with the contents is doubled. Chests that are given to you and chests that you steal outside of the event are NOT multiplied.

This does mean that having a tater during chest fest event means on average 4x larger treasure chests.

More about the soldiers chest

This gives you an amount of soldiers proportional to how well you rank in terms of army size versus your unit production level. Mercenaries are not included in the calculation for how big your army is, however all other types of units are included.

You're not gonna get very many anyway if you're already one of the biggest.

More about the gold chest

This is determined based on the battlefield's total amount of TBG, not on the battlefield's current amount of available gold. The gold treasure chest is determined by taking a calculation from the battlefield's total TBG, and multiplying it by the random number chosen between the lower and upper ranges.

More about the unit production chest

This chest provides you with an amount of unit production upgrades equal to the upgrades you could buy if you spent an entire gold chest on only unit production upgrades.

That's still only gonna buy you ONE upgrade if the gold value it ended up with will only buy one upgrade.

However, one unit production is the bare minimum for this treasure chest, as sometimes your unit production may be so high that not even the contents of a gold chest would upgrade it.
