How are peace treaty lengths calculated?

[Magnifico]

I know there was a thread about this at some point, but my search-fu is not strong enough to find it. I remember somebody saying the length of a peace treaty is based on the number of stars the attacker achieved: 1-2 stars = 8 hours, 3-4 stars = 12 hours, 5 stars = 16 hours. But this can't be quite right, because I just got a 12 hour treaty after being 1-starred. Maybe it's significant that the attacker earned the star for 50% damage? (I don't have any bonus PT length from being Japanese or the Negotiations technology.)

As you thought, peace treaties are calculated based on the percentage of buildings destroyed, not based on stars earned. I'm not sure where you read that it's based on stars, but this is incorrect.

I think that might have been me generalizing for the purpose of comparing medals cost per hour of treaty. Those aren't the actual calculation, but they are typical battle results for me.

I did look through your posts from the last while, but it turns out the post I was thinking of was from Hunter Killer, here. It was in a thread you started, though, so partial credit.

For the record, here is how (I think) peace treaty length is actually calculated:

8 hours: Town Center destroyed, less than 50% damage overall
12 hours: at least 50% damage but not total destruction (whether Town Center is destroyed or not)
16 hours: total destruction

Yes I think you got it better than me Magnifico. I generalised too quickly basing it on number stars. But it also depends on which star we are talking about.

For instance, if you get 4 stars (TC + 50% + 75% + 100%), you will get 16h treaty.

On the other hand, if you get 4 stars (TC + Quick victory + 50% + 75%), you will get 12h treaty.

So it's a combination of the number of stars and which stars they are.
