Could somebody explain to me why I got the least favor on the winning team this match?

June 30, 2009 2:01:57 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I don't really care overall at getting the least favor, as long as my team wins it doesn't really matter, BUT when I saw the favor distributed, I was perplexed. I lead in many categories, had no deaths, yet came out in back of the other two allies. How are favor points doled out then? Is it just completely random?

Interesting.  Initially I thought that maybe it had to do with your ranking, but after looking over your stats that doesnt seem to make much sense either.

Anyway, I dont have an explanation, but stats dont mean anything right now so I wouldnt worry about it.

If you look at the AWARDS tab that will tell you. If you have fewer 'awards' than your teammates you will get less Favor. Favor is about getting those awards.

Stuff like Kill Streak, Citadel Upgrades, Deaths, and so on all add to your Favor.

Something is definately odd.  He should have win + most kills + most buildings + most gold.  That alone should add to +170ish.  Would love to have seen the awards page.

Well if you got two kills during the huge damage boost you get after you win, they show up on stats but don't count towards awards. So that could be part of the cause?

It is all based on the awards that you win. Each one has a value. It looks like you should have gotten the winner(75), structures (15), deaths (15), gold (10), kills (15), and kill streak (15). If I had to guess I would say you got two kills right as the map ended (after the cit fell) and they didn't count towards awards. This caused the UB to beat you on kills and kill streak.

The awards you missed were kills(15), kill streak(15), assists (15), reinforcements(15), damage(15), flags (15), and citadel upgrades (15). QoT probably got assists, damage, and reinforcements (for 120). UB probably got flags, citadel upgrades, deaths, kills, and kill streak (for 150).

If you get kills after the citadel falls when you do like 2k/hit, they don't count towards any awards because awards are calculated right as the citadel falls (or whatever completion criteria the map is set to).The kills or deaths do show up on the final scoreboard however. Hopefully that helps clear things up.

If they had unlocked achievements during the match, doesn't that add to favor?

Thing is, awards do not include data post game.  So if you killed, say, two DG's in the few seconds post game, and got 3000 gold from it (which looks about right for your opponents levels) then you would have not gotten either Gold nor Kills, and possibly not even kill streak.

The only ones for certain you have are buildings (15) and deaths (15).  Very likely you also have Kill Streak which I think is also 15. If that is the award setup, than that would give you the 115 you have.  I might have those favor numbers off a bit though, so don't take my word for it.  However, post game 'kills' and stuff not being counted are probably what is causing it.

It adds to favor, but I don't think it adds it to the victory screen, just the Achievements page.  Never really looked to verify that behavior, though.

He must have gotten gold because it is the only one worth 10 and the only way to end up at 115. That is really strange though because he wouldn't have ended up with the gold award without those last two kills (unless the other player got assists).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you get +10 points for most assists?

If that's the case, then here is one scenario:

One player on the enemy team is dead during the citadel's destruction. The third player on the list (looks like Harpas, but I'm not really sure) does damage to the other two DGs, enough for him to chalk up assists. Clavex then destroys the citadel, getting the two kills for the last two DGs, and giving Harpas the assists.

Now, if you assume he killed the lowest two level enemy DGs, he would have 2700 less gold than reported in the stats, which puts him underneath FatboyTim, losing him the gold award. The two extra kills from post-game also don't count, losing him most kills and kill streak. However, the post-game assists given to Harpas would put him ahead of clavex stat-wise, but not in the actual game, awarding the assists award to clavex.

Therefore, Winner(75) + Buildings(15) + Deaths(15) + Assists(10) = 115

I was under the impression that assists were worth 15, but I could be wrong. It would make more sense the way you drew it out though.

It's 15 favor actually. The only award that gives 10 favor is gold.

Then all my super-math was for naught
