Dictatorship Determination Formula Cracked
I-G-D
Hello everyone.
Since I don't have a lot of free time, I will try to be short and sweet... I think I've managed to crack the formula that the Admins use to calculate the Dictatorship determination bonus. I know a lot of players would probably be interested in hearing this, so I've decided to write an article about my full analysis.
I am 97% sure that the function used by the Admins is a modified error function, since this is the function that they use to calculate the determination bonus in Resistance Wars, albeit with different coefficients.
The error function is an integral of the Gaussian distribution function, and it's frequently used in statistical mathematics. You can read more about it on Wikipedia if you want.
So, I realized what function I had to construct, I just didn't know the coefficients. The only thing I knew was the fact that the lowest possible determination is 1 (which is obvious) and I noted that no revolutions had a determination bigger than 10.98, so I figured that 11 is probably the maximum value.
Using these partial results I found on the eRepublik Wiki, and my own intuition, I present to you my approximated version of the eRepublik Dictatorship determination function:
Since I'm aware of the fact that this formula doesn't mean much to pretty much anyone who isn't a mathematician, I will also give you the function graph:
So, yeah, that's pretty much that. Also, please be aware that this function isn't 100% correct, it's my own approximation. The Admins won't give us the actual function, but I strongly believe this function I found could have some strong practical use, since it's correct enough.
Also, please Sub me, since I need like 100 more Subs for my 5th Media Mogul medal.

OMG YOU DID IT !!
MATH MASTER !!
You did a goodjob once again I-G-D !!
😃
If you say so...
let's let the mathematicians do their maths 😛
Bravo mali 😉
Voted and sub`ed

wow, there are still some quality players in this world.
Interesting. I don't have the data to check it out. It would be nice if the start date of dicktatorship along with the current determination were displayed somewhere, like it is for RWs (well, at least the second part).
Once again, the power of mathematics saved the eRepublik! 🙂

what the hell xD
nice

Awesome. My vote and sub o7
Now someone needs to collect some data for you to get the perfect formula.
I'm sure I saw determination at 12x and 13x...
Nope, Denmark and Saudi Arabia both had 10.98 after 10+ months of having a Dictator, as did all the other countries who've had a Dictator for so long.
Are you 100% sure? I also think Spain has been above 10x...
Above 10, yes, above 11, no.
šta je x a sta y osa ?
x-osa je koliko je dana proslo od upostavljanja diktature, y osa kolika je determinacija.
*uspostavljanja
But im kinda sure we were above 10x in less than 4 months.
1 month = around 2
2 months = around 4
3 months = around 7
4 months = over 9
and I think the growth rate slows down after that, but I don't know exactly when and how.
It's possible that my formula is a bit off, but as I've said, it's an approximation...
i guess mcmoox asked(i don't understand the language) what represents x and y axes? days, months? and for what? thanx o7
The x-axis represents how many days have passed since the end of the military coup and y-axis shows how big the determination bonus is.
and error is ? you multiplied by error what is error?
It's a mathematical function, like sine or cosine.
ok maths is not my Tron suit
Just look at the graph if you wanna see how the formula works.
So admins admit in the formula that dictatorish is an error :v

Nice
The max bonus which I saw was 11.98
I think it was 10.98...
No, I`m sure it was 11.98,but this was an year ago maybe.
A year ago the Dictatorship module didn't exist... 😃
What are you talking about ?
The dictatorship module was added 368 days ago, which is more than a year 😃

I believe everyone agrees determination increases by the month and over 10 is not seen within 4 months time, so logically it can't have been seen a year ago. First 10s will be hit 8 months ago.
the dictatorship module was introduced 368 days ago, and you say you saw a nation with 11.98 determination a year ago?
does not compute 😁
poyy
All parabolic systems, seems the pee trajectory
Next is epic damage formula 🙂
Btw Math is WITCHCRAFT!!! If you were on eSpain we would burn you at a stake!
You can use one-sided Fourier-Laplace sine transform of the Gaussian function, which will closely give you a related function to the error function
intresting
very good
