Maximum Number Of Each Resource Lootable?

[Barns]

Is there a maximum number of one particular resource that can be looted in a single battle?

I ask because I usually have at least 10-20 cider/metal/fur/leather hanging around and the number looted of each is never more than between 1 and 3. Usually a maximum of 2 but sometimes 3. However, I just had an attack which took out just my TC and then my storehouse, but took away 4 diamonds when I only had 10 stored up.

I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to work out how it works.

It could be that you can get the maximum (?) of 3 resources, in this case diamonds, from the storehouse plus one from the TC. That's presuming the diamonds you get from theTC is a maximum of 1? Or is it also 3 so you could feasibly get 6 diamonds from one battle?

Or maybe it's a percentage-based possibility and because diamonds are special they have a higher percentage taken than the chepaer stuff?

Do people usually make sure they spend most of their diamonds as soon as possible rather than storing them since they do tend to get looted far more than other resources in my experience?

Does anyone know how it all works?

Thanks in advance.

They took 4 diamonds from you? Or they got 4 diamonds from the battle? I imagine 1 from the TC, 2 from your storehouse and 1 more for a 4 or 5 star win.

It was four diamonds from me, as listed in the battle history screen. As I said, he/she only got the TC and the storehouse before dying so wouldn't have got any diamond bonus since it was only a 2-star win.

Sometimes s**t happens I guess.

I've had 5 diamonds taken from me before. And it seems the more diamonds you have the less you lose. If I have 2 diamonds I'm pretty much guaranteed to have them stolen.

I think the algorithm for trade goods is something like: total number available depends on total trade goods, then it's 1/5 chance for each trade good, so if you have 20 in total, but 10 of those are diamonds, there is a good chance you will keep the diamonds.

I agree that, if I have only a few diamonds stored, they will nearly always been taken over any other trade good. However, this time I had ten diamonds stored...and he/she took 40% of them. I don't really mind but it does seem a bit excessive when it's by far the most expensive trade good. I find that, in general, if I have diamonds then any winning attack will get diamonds rather than the other stuff...

Out of interest, do you remember how many diamonds you had in total when someone took 5 off you?

I've had 5 out of the 6 diamonds I had stolen before. I think diamonds have a higher chance of being stolen than other goods.

I've had 2 diamonds and 80 other, and lost the 2 diamonds. They are much more likely to be taken.

I have a similar question about food and gold, my max raidable amount doesn't seem to increase linearly with the amount I am storing....

I read somewhere before that it was a fixed percentage of gold, food and oil, but with a set maximum cap, but please don't quote me on that! The game itself says that 10% of oil from the refinery and 75% of oil from wells can be taken though so you can quote me on that one!

However, this was before the days of World War so things may be different if people haven't collected their war loot from the Command Post since I can sometimes get a good wodge from destroying that.

It seems like it starts to level off around 350K but some bases do have up to 700k, so there must be a reduced percentage added at some level....

I had some guy just snipe my protected storehouse only, and stole 3 diamonds. I got medals from him losing on purpose for the storehouse snipe. I think it's quite excessive that diamonds are so easily lost, but we don't have the same change while raiding.

 

[Königsberg]

Sorry, can't remember

 

[Königsberg]

I think the 700k comes from not collecting from road and caravans. But I might be wrong.

 

[Danix den Andre]

cap is 350k for IA, 400k for Global, farms/caravans and command post adds to that, but I don't think Command Post loot is included in Available loot, it just adds to what you get as you go?
