Do some math
After the most recent update by Plarium, we are able to upgrade our base buildings to higher levels. Lets make clear that each and every player at Soldiers Inc. is entitled to his or her own opinion and can decide to upgrade or not.
Lets take a closer look at the new available upgrade for your Bunker*.
You can see the highlighted boxes and now we can do some math:
- Considering you need 4000 Upgrade Desigs at 4 X 1.000 UD = 4 X 10.000 diamonds = 40.000 diamonds
- Considering you don't wish to wait 17d. 7h. 20m to finsh the upgrade to level 27, you need another 46.230 diamonds to finish it instantly
- Considering you buy for €73(= $84,10) diamonds deal for a sum of 56.000 diamonds**
Total needed: 86.230 diamonds = 2x €73 (= $84,10) diamonds deal for a sum of 112.000 diamonds = €146 (= $168,20) needed to get the above done.
Real cost : (56.000 diamonds / €73 (= $84,10) = 767,123 diamonds for €1**
Needed: 40.000 diamonds + 46.230 diamonds = 86.230 diamonds / 767,123 = €112,41 (= $129,49)**
To sum it all up:
If you wish to upgrade your bunker from level 26 to level 27 with the considerations mentioned above you need to spend €112,41 (= $129,49) and use 86.230 diamonds. This to save you from losing Cobra Rangers build and dropped from your building queue with attacks on your base. If you look at the average player who will be out of the game for approximately
12hrs, that would be 12 Cobra Rangers possible lost by an attack.
In consideration the average player will have their Sick Bay at level 13 which would allow the average player to restore 30% for free. Basically the average player would spend €112,41 (= $129,49) to save 8 Cobra Rangers based on being out of the game for 12hrs and have 12 Cobra Rangers build. Reviving 8 Cobra Rangers would cost you 8 x 38 diamonds = 304 diamonds. Assuming you would buy the €73(= $84,10) 56.000 diamonds deal two times and use the 112.000 diamonds only to revive lost Cobra Rangers each day. One can revive 2944 Cobra Rangers. Revive 8 each day for 368 days.
To spend 86.230 diamonds for €112,41 (= $129,49) one would need to buy two 56.000 diamond deals €73(= $84,10) x2 = €146(=$168,26)** From two €73(= $84,10) 56.000 diamond deals you do receive 112.000 diamonds - 86.230 diamonds = 25.770 diamonds left to spend
Conclusion:
- Make up your own mind
- Calculations don't lie.
If it is rather ridiculous to upgrade your Bunker with above considerations is totally up to each individual player. One will see the greed amd the other will be finished upgrading already. Maybe other users from this Forum can look at other buildings and offer the same calculations in this thread? It would become an overview and advice to others.
* This calculation is based on upgrading your bunker from level 26 to level 27
** Calculation based on the €73(= $84,10) 56.000 diamonds deal and current exchange rates between € and $
