Talk:Flammy's Strategy Guides/Attacking: How To Raid - Goal: Get Resources/@comment-6389280-20140223100427/@comment-2170536-20140711094254

Actually you can't calculate it quite like that. You have the first part right in that you get two full attacks in the hour, but the final four minutes shouldn't be divided by 60, it should be divided by 28. Since the attack takes 28 minutes, 4 minutes is actually 1/7th of an attack, not 1/15th.

A simpler way to calculate it is to first figure the per-minute profit and then convert it to hours. 145,000 / 28 = 5,178.57 resources per minute. Converting that to hours (multiplying by 60) gives us 310,714.29 resources per hour.

The 245,000 resources per 28 minutes would therefore be 245,000 x (60 / 28) = 525,000 per hour, and the 30,000 resources per 3.5 minutes would be 30,000 x (60 / 3.5) = 514,285.71 resources per hour.

I don't know where Flammy's 567,000 resources per hour comes from, as that would require 3 minutes, 10.5 seconds between attacks. If he is assuming 3 minutes of search time, he isn't assuming that his army is training in the background (or he would have used 3 minutes exactly), and even with four barracks you would still need 30 seconds to train the the army (one troop in each, the goblins take 30 seconds each and the archers 25 seconds). If the army is training while attacking, 30,000 resources every 3 minutes is 600,000 per hour.
