Hi i know for attack the boosts that count are your country and the unit boost buildings. But for defenses is it comp,nation and unit boost building?

Yes. Correcto.
Nation, Comp factory and unit boosts buildings.

Does anyone know how the boosts stack? Like if you had a lvl 10 comp, lvl 6 airship hanger, and nation boost from Russia with a raw D score [from air units, thanks Aidan] of 10,000. Would it look like this? :

10,000 * 1.2 = 12,000 * 1.12 = 13,440 * 1.1 = 14,784

With the strongest boost being accounted for first (comp, then hanger, then nation boost)?

@Dr.Dengus - I wish. With those numbers it would look like this:

10000 * 1.42

Well, thts assuming you're 100% air army. CF boosts all def unit. Hangar only air units both att n def

Oh ok, thanks for the reply Warfiend. I know for people with the Draughtsman and a Cement Factory, they're upgrade prices look like [(Cost * 0.7) * (0.96)]....assuming a level 4 cement factory. Thought it might be the same for unit boosts :(

True..didn't think of it that way. I'll rephrase my original post to 10,000 raw D score from air units only then.

If you do the math, it doesn't matter which order you multiply them in. You could multiply by them in any order, and you'll still get 14,784.

However, I don't know if they add up all the boosts FIRST, and then multiply your raw score (10,000 x 1.42)... or if they just keep multiplying all the boosts together.

I don't think anyone's worked that out. It would be hard to do so with a normal user account since most have multiple unit types and boosts. The only way to know for sure would be looking at the code. I would guess that they do not accumulate since the math to do that would be more complicated.

Good call, you're right it doesn't matter which order they're multiplied if the boosts stack. But Warfiend stated they just add all the boosts together to make it (10000 * 1.42)....which is unfortunate lol.

From what I see the boost is applied to your base level value by each factor separately and not cumulatively.
