It didn't increase by 50%, it increased to 150% of the payout value.  So it was like a 170% increase from what you needed to load before. 

Ah! Okay, gotcha. So the sweet spot is 189 million. Then finish off the yellow sites. Then wait until reset (of the day?) before doing the next series?

I usually do one set each infest tournament, they seem to get messed up if you do them too often.  I'll yellowbar all 24 of them, getting several payouts along the way so I don't get too over banked, do the main payout, then kill everything else.  If you've done them properly (down to 5% strength or less) you make a good profit off it. 

Hehe, I could talk about infests all day long!

So you don't get hit with the "tax" if you're below your threshold for payout? Do you know how much that tax on your bank happens to be?

thanks for the re-direct. isn't the old infest system tables correct for tdreborn.

Hello,

After doing infests for 3 weeks I have some questions which some of you, maybe have the answer.

1) The first question is, when i use my "Excel sheet" with troops load/troops gains. I figured out, that i win more or less 10%. Is it possible to win way more or do you think there is a cap?

2) When you get your Full paid then you kill the last yellow one. If on my "Excel Sheet" my bank value is negative (Meaning that i won more than what i lost) is my bank really negative or just at 0. The question is : Can the bank be under 0.

3) Finally, if the bank can be at 0, Is it restart at 0 the day after ?

Then : 

Is the formula (65xN^3,14)x1,5 N=Level of the infest good for knowing how much is needed for having a full pay?

I found out this website : http://playtamin.com/infestations.html

You can found on it some value about the rewards, does it mean it's the FULL PAY value or somehow something else wrong? Because sometimes it works more or less for me and sometime it doesn't..

Let's talk about Infests again guys ;)

This is so bad... 

What's the point about doing it's infest everyday if you can't win **** (edited by Gen. T. Winters).

OFC the convert thing is good but still... ..

So now you can just destroy one by one infest, and wait for you full pay which is coming one day... no need to use an Excel or stuff... ?!

What are your recommandations Bio?

@ Squll Nope no need to use an excal unless you want to know exactly when you get a payout or how much you need to rebank before being out of the negative. Other then that no real strategy needed anymore and the good days of winning units is gone.

So the General T Winters is editing my message without answering...

Always the same thing.

Wondering why the forum is really quite.. U get pretty much no answer from it... 

Okay thanks for the "advice" Rhylian and Bio.

So this game is just raiding 10 times a day some bots, waiting for a tournament... win exactly the same unit each time and so on...

Where are the surprises ? Good things ? 

Please give us the infestations win something to win back...!!!!

Are the infestation rules different between Geotopia and Red Zero? Are these forums for Red Server?

For the last time i played on  geo and red they were the same infest rules.

This forum however is for the browser game on plarium server. Not for the facebook game. They have their own pages on FB.

Commander PLAAN70, the Infestation system is the same for plarium.com and Facebook servers, so you can freely apply the same scheme for your gameplay there

Okay, so I think I follow this thread. Now, Biohazard, I have to ask you:

With the new infest system, you said in another thread that the payout threshold has been increased by 50%. Is that 50% higher than the 80-90% max resource loading value, or 50% higher than the full max loading value?

For instance, at level 100, the old system was:

Max Load: 148,913,800

80% Value: 119,131,040

90% Value: 134,022,420

So under the old system, you would try to trigger your level 100 site (or 95-100 site, if you got that random "no payout" reward), you would need to shoot for a bank of 119-134 million. Correct? (Although my records indicate payouts typically paid out between 110-128 million, so this should still result in a net loss).

Now, under the new system, are you saying this?

Max Load: 223,370,700

80% Value: 178,696,560

90% Value: 201,033,630

Assuming payouts are still the same, that would imply that I would have to make up the difference by hitting yellowed sites and get 68-73 million after I got my payout? Is this correct?

Yeah that's close.  It seems you have to load about 150% of the total bank value before you will get a payout (this is an approximation, sometimes it takes more, because there is some randomness built into the system).  So for a level 100 you'd need to load about 190 mil.  Then it will pay out 120-130 mil, and you get the rest from the yellow barred infests. 

Thank you, Biohazard.

So the new formula is:  97.5 * n ^ 3.143 , correct?

Do you have the formula for Soldiers/Sparta, by chance? (Since their infests go to level 125)

Yeah.  I haven't played those games much so I'm not sure, but if the payout value for a 125 is the same as a 100 here then it would probably be 97.5*n^2.998.  That's just a guess though, assuming they wanted the difficulty progression to be the same as you go up levels. 

Guys, I am confused about the formula numbers.  When I go through them for a level 100, I get numbers such as 921 million.  What am I doing wrong with the math? 97.5 * n ^ 3.143 is what I am trying to use.  I know n is the infest level, but what specifically is the ^?  Is it power taken to kill the infest, res taken to load it, or what?  I think therein lies my problem:)

@Gallen Whalthey (18 September, 2015, 9:48 PM UTC):
Not sure how you're getting 921,000,000.

N is the level of the Infestation.

IE Level 100; 97.5*n^3.143 = 97.5*100^3.143 = 97.5*1,931,968.317 = 188,366,911

So you need to bank about 188,366,911 in order to get a 'normal' level 100 payout.

Edit 1:
^ means exponent, so n^2 means square, ^3 means cube, etc.

^3.143 means a little more than cubed. (It's usually found as an X with a smaller Y in the top right corner of the button)

@Squll (19 September, 2015, 5:34 AM UTC):
MH...?

Anyway, it used to be 65.5*n^3.143, but since it was multiplied by 1.5, after collecting like terms of 1.5(65.5*n^3.143), it simplifies into 97.5*n^3.143

Commanders, I remind you that Infestations are not a type of easy activity to get troops. This is not a matter of good luck, it implies using of a strategy and making hard efforts. So if you want to get decent rewards, you should work on them. Test new methods and develop your tactics to benefit from this activity, see consistency. Infestations are not designed for Commanders who prefer clicking on Troops selected without thinking. 

General T. Winters said:

Commander, if you play it right, your rewards will be quite regular. That's what I'm telling

Translated: You cannot get back more than you lost anymore, so don't bother doing infests after you get your large army.

@Gamied (17 October, 2015, 10:33 AM UTC):
A level 63 requires about 685,600 power to clear.  

If you are sending low power units (Troopers/Cyberdogs), then it will take over about 36,045 Cyberdogs or 17,140 Troopers to clear a level 63 (Using the default statistics.
