Mercenary Guild Math


First note:  You may notice that the cost of a guildhall is less than that of a hideout.  It's roughly half, in fact.  But three times a mercenary's monthly wage, at the maximum wages a guildhall can support, plus the minimum guildhall value, gives us roughly the same as a hideout value!

 

Copied from Excel: The header format is (Operation, Base Success, Base Average Cost, Income).

 

In general, you want to send your low-level guys for the safe operations and your badasses to do the dangerous operations to maximize profit.

This page is a little more blank than it might be otherwise because I have a giant excel sheet full of math that is almost entirely deprecated and I don't remember which bits actually got used!  So if people have questions, I'll probably fill this page out with complicated answers.
