Chronoboost FAQ
« on: July 31, 2011, 07:22:09 »
it really seems better than it is. but i guess that's ok as it would be too strong. :)
note that number of cb for Warp Tech=5 doesn't mean you have to always CB it 5 times, it's just the maximum number of times. ideally, you CB Warp Tech 3 or 4 times or sometimes even 2 times when you tech heavily.
Times are in ingame seconds, not real seconds


- One Chrono Boost ==> you save up 10 game seconds.

- CB is linear. The more you chrono, the more you save up and always with the same proportion.

- You can get something up to 50% faster using CB. No more. This is the limit.
Note that 50% faster DOESN'T mean that it takes half of the time. It takes 66% of the original time to build (or 33% less time).
- Buildings shields recharge 50% faster when CB! Test it yourself


Assuming continuous CB:

Colossus
*BT'= 50 (you save 25 seconds).
*CB needed= 3.

Immortal
*BT'= 37 (you save 18 seconds).
*CB needed= 2.

Void Ray
*BT'= 40 (you save 20 seconds).
*CB needed= 2.

Warp Gate research
*BT'= 93 (you save 47 seconds).
*CB needed= 5.

+1 Ground Weapons Research
*BT'=107 (you save 53 seconds).
*CB needed= 5.

Nexus
-Empty Nexi (0 Energy).
You can get 1 CB every 45 seconds.
If you have more than you Nexus, then time is split. Example: 2 Nexi, then 1 CB every 22.5 secs, which is almost enough to get continuous CB.

-Full Nexi (100 Energy).
You can continuously CB 6 times (waiting a little you'll have 7). For instance, that's more than enough to fully CB Warpgate research (only need 5 CB).
