*** WARNING ***<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a Scientific Wild-Ass Guess (SWAG) of Firefly might, obtained using the error-prone technique of graphical analysis.<\/p>\n

Use at your own risk, as the numbers should be ball-park accurate, but any feedback or updates are welcome!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

How To Use This Information<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Click on a Lair as if you are going to set up a Rally.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. Set up your march as if you were attacking a lair<\/li>\n
  3. Note the troop might in the lower left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this case, my march will hit with just over 13 mil.\u00a0 This is enough to complete level 4 (5 million) but not level 5 (20 million).<\/p>\n

    What Do You Mean By ‘Graphical Analysis’?<\/h2>\n

    By capturing the “recommended might” from every firefly of the first 6 difficulties (well, most of them), I was able to plot this chart, which is not very useful:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    However, by changing the vertical axis to logarithmic, it looks like this:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Note that these lines are now somewhat evenly spaced.\u00a0 I did some number crunching, which wasn’t very fruitful, and sat on the data for a while, as I wasn’t sure what to do with it.<\/p>\n

    Then I did this:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The gray blocks are an average of the spacing between difficulties.\u00a0 This provides an extrapolation of each difficulty level.<\/li>\n
    2. The purple and orange lines are a logarithmic scale that has been calibrated to the graph.<\/li>\n
    3. Using the calibrated graph, measured the top (end point) of each gray block<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Here is what this looks like zoomed in:<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      For example, the top of difficulty 6 is above 60 million on the purple scale, and right about at 5 on the orange scale, so 65,000,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
