% calculate best split using fmincon for 1 spear, up to *upper* spears
upper=500;


% scavenge time (C is the loot capacity, for instance, 1 spear = 25 loot capacity)
% ((C*LF*10)^(2*DE)+DIS)*DF

global c_tot LF DE DIS DF
% these factors may be found on TW's source code (search for "ScavengeScreen")
LF = [0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75]; % loot factor
DE = 0.45; % duration exponent
DIS = 1800; % duration initial seconds
DF = 0.6830201284; % duration factor

x0 = ones(4,1); % initial point: 1 (close to 0)
options = optimoptions('fmincon','Display','iter','Algorithm','sqp','MaxFunctionEvaluations',100000,'MaxIterations',2000);

res = zeros(4,upper);

for sp=1:upper
    c_tot = 25*sp;
    x = floor(fmincon(@f, x0, [], [], [], [], zeros(4,1), [], @g, options)/25);
    res(:,sp) = x;
end

function [cost] = f(c)
    global LF
    cost = 0;
    for i=1:4
        cost = cost + (c(i)*LF(i))/(t(c(i),LF(i)));
    end
    cost = 1/cost;
end

function [v] = t(ci,LFi)
    global DE DIS DF
    v = ((ci*ci*LFi*LFi*100).^DE+DIS)*DF;
end

function [c, ceq] = g(cs)
    global c_tot
    c = 0;
    ceq = -c_tot;
    for i=1:4
        ceq = ceq + cs(i);
    end
end

How can I use this without any software installation? I did not understand the basic math of your script. Can you help me @guipenedo

Scripts are not allowed in our country.

@kirgizmustafa17 this is not a tampermonkey script. It's only meant to calculate optimal distributions for later use on scripts

hey! can you tell us how to use it? for example my world is 1.2 speed and the troop speed is 0.8. Now whats next? :D

Just open up Matlab and run this script. But as I said this isn't meant to be used except for programmers looking to create scripts

Could you explain the formula for time calculation of scavenging trips. I am trying to understand what are the variables involved.
