Thievery Formulas
Thieves Per Acre
The ratio of your TPA to your opponent's TPA will determine the success rate of your conducted thievery ops.
Raw TPA
Raw TPA = Number of Thieves / Acres
Mod TPA
Modified TPA = Raw TPA * Invisibility * Crime Science * Racial Mod * Thieves Dens Bonus * Honor Bonus * Ritual Bonus
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise |
| Invisibility | 1.1 | 1 |
| Ritual: Havoc | 1.2 | 1 |
| Thievery Science | Check your science page |
Stealth
The amount of stealth you use depend on what thievery operation you use and your relations with the opposing kingdom:
- Sabotage Operations (without relations) - 3%
- Sabotage Operations (Hostile or higher relations) - 2%
- Espionage Operations - 2% (excluding Spy on Throne and Spy on Defense, which are 1%)
You need at least 5% stealth to be able to send your thieves out.
If you log on to find your stealth being much lower than you expected, someone has probably cast Expose Thieves on you. The spell will reduce your amount of stealth to 95% of what you had each tick, before regen.
Stealth increases with 3% every hour (excluding personality or racial bonuses).
Thieves to Send
Optimal Thieves to Send = (Opponents' Resources * Max % Of Total) / Gains Per Thief / Racial Mod
- Opponents' Resources can be found by using the Spy on Throne thievery op.
- Max % of Total and Gains per Thief are given by the table below.
Thievery Yield
Thievery Yield = Thieves Sent * Relative Size * Gains Per Thief * (1 - Resources Lost) * Racial Mod * Personality Mod * Science Mod * Guile
Relative Size = MIN ( Target Networth / Self Networth , Self Networth / Target Networth) + War Bonus
- Gains Per Thief is given by the table below.
- Resources Lost is given by the table below.
- Thievery Yield is reduced by up to 62.5% by watch towers.
