N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

Credit for this work goes 2 Olympus_Peacemaker from agesanctuary. He did some calculations which I found 2 be very very interesting I wanted u all 2 access. click link 2 c TP results

it was confirmed by ES that all TP's give the same amount of resources/sec

and I'm sure good old Cyclo covered this item in his Guide a long time ago

being a TP-junkie myself, I never had the feeling that some give more than others, however, the # of available TP's does affect the upgrade cost a bit

Tp junkies for the win. It's rare I go a game without grabbibg one.

No disrespect, but that means nothing chaos. The travois dude running around the trade route runs at the exact same speed. The distance he covers varies from map 2 map. The amount of XP also varies from map 2 map. The Nº of TP´s also varies from map 2 map. Thus, the amount of XP/sec (which is truly the only way we can compare the whole TP situation) is also very diferent from map 2 map.

What really stands out here is that certain maps we "thought" were truly OP with regards 2 XP/sec for single TP´s rnt really what they seem. eg. Great Lakes. ( still my fav XP grabbing map tbh)

I know it doesn't mean all that much but still... it's an official source.
Based on my ingame experience I think it's correct.

I seriously wonder how this guy could messure it up to a tenth of a sec by running just 3 tests on each map. How do you time that?

This is very handy to keep in mind. I've recently gotten into the TP game (ususally to support a FF or FI as Germans), and this chart will help me determine whether it's worth my while to build a TP on particular maps.

I had no idea Yucatan was the premiere TP map. Now, if they could just make tapirs a little easier to hunt, we'd be in business :-P

A good example of having differences in TPs is deccan. You got two lines, and the shorter line is worth more (at least I think so) cause there are only two TPs instead of three, which means you need to expend less wood.

tp's are freaking amazing. idk why you WOULDNT get one, especially early game

thats wrong, the big road with 3 TPs give more XP, but on an average, it's the same XP/sec, so if you plan on upgrading the route, you better take the long road, as your upgrade cost will be split over 3

That is if you're looking forward to upgrade it :p Otherwise it's not

but if you dont upgrade it doesnt matter, both are equal
