User blog comment:SolarMist/Conquest: 1 AS to 2 DS ratio/@comment-75.18.184.180-20131021054136/@comment-17760674-20131021192920

I'm a bit confused at what you're trying to explain xD; So my explanation is kind of jumping all over the place since I'm not really sure what to focus on.

But I think that what's confusing you is that the amounts of AS/DS taken are based on the ratios of your maximum AS/DS, not your "current" ones. And AS recovers twice as slowly as DS, so...

Your ratio of AS:AS+DS is 152 / (152+155), aka 0.495 (rounded); let's call this "asratio". For your DS:AS+DS, it's 155 / (152+155), aka 0.505 (rounded); let's call this "dsratio".

You need 218 AS+DS for your top two tiers, so:


 * The amount of AS that is required (not removed) according to the first image is asratio * 218 (since that's the SP cost), or 108 AS. (these numbers might be off by 1 point, but it's usually not an enormous deal for these scenarios)


 * The amount of DS that is required is dsratio * 218 (your SP cost), or 110 DS. Since your DS regenerates 2x as fast as AS and your ratio is pretty much 1:1, your DS will have no problem hitting the "required" amount before your AS does.

The AS + DS total does not necessarily dictate how many daemons you can send out; the main things that dictate how many daemons you can send out are your AS:AS+DS and DS:AS+DS ratios.

If that confuses you even more, then I'm not understanding you at all lol sorry xD
