I've been trying to decide when to destock, but I dont know what the max of my private market units is.. I think it depends on both my acress and the server (express seems to have a bigger max then primary). im sure these calculations have been done before by someone smarter..


anyone wanna share it with me?

There is no max

PM replenishment is as follows

4 troops
2.5 jets
2.5 turrets
1 tank


Per acre per turn.


The trick is decay. Any units left on the market after login will decay with the tick of every turn given. So while destocking make sure to buy out every unit you are destocking before every logout.

A lot of players will stay logged out in 40 hour batches while destocking, not sure why, but as long as you buy out your units you should be fine.

only amount of your land limits your priv mkt units.

IF there is some max its unreachable like limit of cash in hand.

Thanks for that riveting contribution marshal. Golden as always

thanks for the information!

and the decay? how quickly is that?

1.5% per turn

so the decay is bigger then the replenishment?

I'm trying to make an excel formula so I can calc it later on :)

Originally posted by Xinhuan:
The PM has no maximum. If you logout for 10 days, then you would login with 10 days worth of PM. PM has 2 rules:

A) PM regenerates at a fixed rate per turn that ticks by.
B) Existing units in PM decays away at 1.5% per turn.

The only difference is (A) is added at login, (B) occurs all the time, so PM units at login = (PM at logout * 0.985^turns) + (PM Regen * turns) where turns is the amount of new turns you get at login. If you empty your PM at every login, then the first part of the equation essentially decays nothing.

I see thanks!

this is really complicated stuff lol.

why should it be simple?

it should be!

but I finished my excel spreadsheet, thanks for your help!

one more question tho

what about stored turns? do you build market for those too? and what if your stored turns are maxxed?

time aka when game gives turns matters not turns in hand, if you do 120 turns cashing/exploring after set's last turn has been given your priv market doesn't get any bigger.

The PM replenishment rate for troops is 3 instead of 4, unless they changed it over the past couple of years.

xin and h2o have said its 3 (1st ~2 years ago and latter few months ago), nothing about replenishment rate in ee-wiki.

it is 3. no clue why i typed 4.

turns are only given once. these stats are for turns given, not turns used. so using this logic we can see that bonus turns dont count either.

The private market refreshes over time not turns.

as it was said few times already.

Excent it does replenish with turns. It replenishes every time the game issues a turn. So on primary every 30 min, alliance every 20 min, on team 15, and express 4.
