Pagoda Pandamonium

[AFed]

Skimmed through so I apologize if these were answered, but I didn't see it already.

To answer a couple questions:
Building is type B. Max payout is 7.2 mil. Type B pays out 30 times the base at lvl 10 and Type A pays out 75 times base.

To calculate total cumulative cost for a level use the following equation:

Let n be the level. Upgrades follow a geometric series with r ~= 1.67

Total Cost without modifiers = Initial * (1 - 1.67^n)/(1-1.67)

Thus, total cost without modifiers should be somewhere around 15mil * (1-1.67^10)/(1-1.67) = 3.754 billion

30% off: 15 + 15 * 1.67 * .7 * (1 - 1.67^9)/(1-1.67) = 2.632 billion

And so on and so forth.

Can someone please post actual build times for all levels?
Thanks!

Hey Afed, do you know how to model the payouts as well?

[Hey]

15 million?
O H
M Y
G O D

Really????
Guess us at lower levels and incomes are shot.
I only make a million a day roughly.

Suck it!

I remember reading it somewhere. May have been trampstamp's tutorial.

I vaguely remember Type A being a modified triangular number and Type B be a modified Fibonacci.

Awesome, thanks....have we confirmed if this is Type A or Type B yet?

Do you get cash, experience, or respect as each prize is awarded?

A solid item. Usually coupled with a tiny bit of XP

[AFed]

Is there any way to cancel an upgrade in progress or do you have to sell the building?

Sadly the latter. I got caught in the middle of a NC update when the event popped. Missing 2 days of upgrades as a result

It is a Type A, not a type B. See reaction #68 for as far as I know. A level 2 is triple Level 1 (and thus A).

[Kidkiller]

Yes finally ! After raiding for 4 hours I raised my missing 10M$ for the pagoda

Type B. Forgot to factor in syn bonuses/tycoon and the current profile 25% extra glitch.
