I just tried this method and it was very accurate.

My last payout was level 75 for 2513 Promachos,

I paid the bank back, test hit a level 22 for 20 Agema and 3 MP,

double checked with a level 32 for 169 saris and 34 thora

Hit a level 75 for a payout of 2250 Promachos and 449 Thureo

Thank you very much for this guide, it has some nice spots but I don't think it's very explainable ...Though you explain very well the partial ones !!

this is the greatest just got a grand pay out 

Just to make a quick note for everyone.  I am finding that the interest owed on a payout is equaling the lesser of the two troop types you win when you get a payout.  

For example:

(hypothetical numbers) Level 50 payout: 400 Promachos & 100 Thureophoros

Loan value in resources:  10610 (promachos) x 400 = 4,244,000    / 5000 (Thureophoros) x 100 = 500,000

4,244,000 + 500,000 = 4,7,244,000 (total loan)

Interest: 5000 (Thureophoros) x 100 = 500,000

Total payback for next loan: 5,244,000

Now like I said above,  if you pay back the entire amount before you hit for your payout, two factors must be taken into consideration:

1) Your losses on the position you hit for the payout will be above the total loan value and do not count toward next reward a s a credit.

For example:

I paid the loan back, I hit a level 50 again for the payout,  The troops I lose to get the payout are a total loss, my loan was already paid and I ended up killing extra for nothing.

*So you must try and time it so that you owe just enough but not everything before you hit the next position for a payout

2) If you do not hit the same exact level for a payout, depending on how much higher the level is, you will extend the loan and keep chasing the payout

For example: 

 Level 50 payout 5,244,000 resources paid back and your next hit will pay but your next smallest position is level 55.

You hit the level 55 and no payout?  Because your bank was extended to cover the cost of resources between 50 and 55, Plarium will not reward you with level 55 troops with just paying level 50 loan ;)  

THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE STUCK AT LEVEL 50, YOU CAN GO AS HIGH AS YOU WANT, THE LOAN KEEPS GETTING EXTENDED UNTIL YOU CATCH UP TO IT

There is a chart somewhere that shows you what the average resource payout for each level is, so you can calculate how much more resources got added to the loan if you go past your last payout level :)

And the loan is the amount of resources you invest when playing persian positions! (the resources of the units you play xerxes with that is)

Hello

Does anyone know how many positions they have?

Hello, 

I have an account on both servers

Thanks for your reply, SA06. In order for me to correctly reply to your question, I need to know the exact platform and server # in question. The thing is that there can be a different number of Positions on different platforms and servers.
