According to this devblog:

http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=42269

Wardec cost is calculated as:

(log2.05831 N)^2 * 300000 * N^0.27)

I tried to come up with a calculator for wardec costs, but was mystified when:

Formula for a 867 man corp yields 164 mil but the actual cost was:

253,728,874.84

which is almost 100 mil more.


Am I using the right formula? Did CCP change it? (I do get a graph that resembles that in the dev blog 100% when plotting my formula...)

Wrong part of the forums if you looking for people who do maffs.

W&T is just a group of people good at making trolling questions/troll posts look legit.
We are all 'special' here. Not in a good way.

Is it a super chair or just a mediocre chair?

Nobody has any ideas?

I know in the old days wars become more costly the more you had going (and this is not the first war we have Pirate ), but the old formula for that is definitely outdated or all our wars would cost 500 mil.

So, anyone?

I'd suggest checking the documentation, but then...

All I could find was the formula I posted - which corresponds 100% to the graph posted by the devs.

However it does not correspond with actual in game cost.. gah.

The devblog you linked in the OP is almost a year old. There've been several war-related blogs since, some of which contained alterations to the cost scheme (f. ex. Punkturis' blog a couple weeks ago) Have fun combing the blog archives.
