<div class="IPBDescription">distribution based on team size</div> I've been reviewing some of the more interesting posts related to resource distribution for small vs large teams. Some of the formulas I used, I got from <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=16329' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...=ST&f=1&t=16329</a> so look there for more info. I did a search on the gen forum for various other comparisons but didn't come up with what I wanted, so I made it myself.
The following assumes 100 resources available to each team.
Total gorge res % is the percentage of the total pot of alien resources that all the gorges combined get.
1G M/G res ratio is the ratio of resources that the marines get compared to what a single gorge would get.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions...

Comments
I was going to say that it suggests that in large games the sheer number of players would have a greater effect than the number of gorges, so three gorges doesn't really matter but then I've never ever seen a 16 aside game <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
An income based on number of RTs and based on whether the non-gorges have maxed res might be more practical. The numbers are a good guide to relative income from RTs mid-game, but not to actual income.
Oh, I can't work out what the "1G M\G res ratio" means.
If you were able to, i'd be able to write a program where you could calculate how many resources go to how many alies/marines etc..
It'd be a challenge <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
