How do you determine the rankings in a campaign?

Dice? I dont know really.

Im assuming something like this:
(your current rank)x(the amount of experience rank in the game)/ (the amount of players) x (some other random equalization) = points gained and new rank

Seriously I don't have a clue but I think that I will go and grab another bourbon

well it really depends on how much resource building you got and how many kills and death you've had through out the whole campaign bro

I think hes saying....after the game is finished how is the ranking points that are gained calculated .
For example a high ranked player in a low ranked game say (Renno) would get less points for coming first than me for instance because I have a low rank.....does this make sence or does it sound like gibberish. lol

no, you've got the general idea.

I beleive what it does is adds up all of the ranks of the players involved and makes an average rank. Based upon what that average is, you have your points awarded for each place. HOWEVER, that base score is then compared to your rank upon entering the camp for a secondary calculation.

I don't know the actual numbers... nor the actual calculation, but this is a general idea example...

say the average rank of all opponents is 56 and the top 5 players' levels go something like:

1. 54
2. 104
3. 60
4. 23
5. 72

the scores awarded may look something like...

1. +32
2. -8
3. +16
4. +24
5. +4

ok i dont no then bro

I used to know! Then it all got changed. I think it's based on what tribute producing buildings you own on the last turn factored in with your troops killed/dead. Or, how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

actually, it's based on how many Mogs you can kill.

I used to know... then 1 year it changed. then a few months go by and it changed again. then he said it changed but it didn't, then he said he'd change it back when everybody didn't like it, but he didn't. then he gave us back 20% of kills, but not sure if that works...what month is it? I used to know... I used to know...

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly
It's not half the game it used to be
There's a shadow hanging over it, you will see
Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly

Why we
Have to play I don't know
I couldn't say
The game has
All gone wrong now I long
For yesterdayyy

Yesterday
Wol was such a pleasant game to play
Now the RTS has gone away
Oh, I believe
In yesterdayyyy

Renno, you seem sad. I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't played enough of the new game to form an opinion meself.

well guys to me i think i will prover to go with the flow it does'nt matter to me how much pts i get after the game just as long as i win

Thanks for the help. The tribute thing seems strange. It seems like if im going to lose, it is better for your rank in the campaign to quit while your tribute is higher. Is that right?

Quitters go to the bottom of the ranking I do believe, someone correct me if im wrong.

That's supposed to be the way it is worked now, with inactives above quitters and anyone who stays the course getting higher ranking. I haven't played a campaign lately so I would need independent confirmation on this from someone who is more active.

As far as I know, Req made it so that only what you control on the last turn of the game you were in counts as tribute, but I'm not certain he made that change. If that is the case, then lasting til the end is vital and grabbing all you can on that last turn seems to be the way to get the most points...but there again, correct me if I'm wrong.

No, quitting seems to help your score if it looks like your going to lose rank.

I gained +13 campaign rank after quitting game 22110 (I was basically knocked out and quit after my last commandeer and barracks was gone).

Also AdmiralKickars quit early on in game 12660 and gained +15.

This is wrong, IMHO. Players should be encouraged to play to the end. (normally losing points)

yeah, I heard about this 'quitting bug' before... if you quit while you're ahead, you get gains... it didn't used to be that way.

Renno you keep this game very interesting :-P nice adaption of "yesterday"
