Does the number of military units in the Private Market become maxed out as soon as you gain land? or does it take time to replenish to reach the maximum unit count available?

It takes time to replenish - every turn

Thanks!

and if you have reached max then units start to "decay".

^ Not always.

If you buy out all your units & log out,. there's no decay.

yea if buys all.

I wasnt aware there was a PM max.

Ford is right., there's technically not a max., it just appears that way because the decay amount becomes equal to the replenished amount per turn.

Maximum PM Replenishment
Troop 3 =(TroopsOMLOFF*(0.985)^TGAL)+3*Land*TGAL
Jets 2.5 =(JetsOMLOFF*(0.985)^TGAL)+2.5*Land*TGAL
Turrets 2.5 =(TurretsOMLOFF*(0.985)^TGAL)+2.5*Land*TGAL
Tanks 1 =(TanksOMLOFF*(0.985)^TGAL)+1*Land*TGAL
Bushels 2 =(BushelsOMLOFF*(0.985)^TGAL)+2*Land*TGAL
TGAL Turns Gained At Login
TroopsOMLOFF Troops On Market at logoff
JetsOMLOFF Jets On Market at logoff
TurretsOMLOFF Turrets On Market at logoff
TanksOMLOFF Tanks On Market at logoff
BushelsOMLOFF Bushels On Market at logoff

PM Equilibrium The point your PM units will approach if you are not reselling
Equilbrium Units =Land*UnitFactor*X/(1-0.985^X)
X Number of turns after which you login every day

As celphi suggests the equilibrium units are 66.667 (66 and 2/3rds) turns worth of 1 turn of max replenishment. the units actually fluctuate if you dont touch your private market and Im not sure they ever reach the equilibrium point even if you keep a stable acreage.

So they replenish 3, 2.5, 2.5 and 1 unit per turn tick respectively, and that means you can have about 200 troops per acre, 2.5*66.667 turrets and jets per acre and 66.67 tanks per acre in your private market.

Thanks for clarifying this up guys :-)

Math hurts my brain.

Thank you! That explains the change on the max available PM units even the acreage remains the same.

There is no max as long as you dont log in. Units left on the PM every logout decay every turn. Once you log in the decay starts on accumulated PM units. When destocking buy all PM units every login.

That's how I always saw it.

The reason you do a 40 hour logout on alliance and team before destocking is because that is how long it takes to get full on turns from 0. So when you log in you can batch turns, convert, and have a massive PM for initial buyout.

If this is the case, then it is a 24-hour logout on Express to get the full 360 turns from 0, and have a massive PM for buyout, isn't it?

/me goes to buy a math book

Thats right. Thats the laziest way and great for rep cashers.

Do you have no shame at being such an f'ing moron Marshal, you annoying spam bot?
