Hi,
This has probably been asked many times, but I'm unable to find it on the forum. I'm wondering how the amount of shards earned is calculated, since i'm unable to figure it out.
I always thought it was a shard/region conquered, but sometimes on really big maps (like the scotland one) i'm earning less then on smaller maps even though I own the whole map in the end. If you can direct me to somewhere of tell me it would be most appreciated.

You get more for kills, I think, I'm not sure

One for each conquered enemy land. You level 10 times when level up.

How are shard earnings calculated from gameplay?
1.You get 1 shard per territory you capture that is controlled by another player.
2.You get a cumulative 10 shards per consectutive day you log in, to a maximum of 50. (1st day 10, 2nd day 20, etc.)
3.When you level up, you get 10 shards x the level you just got to.

I've got a feeling that's not all there is to it. On large maps I'm certain I do conquer more enemy controlled territories than I am getting shards. I could be very well mistaken ofcourse. I'll just have to pay attention to it now and see what i'm getting up with.

I may not be right but I believe you earn 1 shard per conquered region and lose 1 shard for each defeated region.. of course your shards cant go into the negative so im probally wrong.
best bet, ask lopdo and hope he answers

I just finished a game (full map) and ended up with 95 regions. However, I got only 54 shards.
There were 2 players who quit, but that was quite early in the game (and I am sure they did not account for 41 regions).
So,
1. If I capture a region belonging to a player who quits, do I get shards? (even if I don't, the numbers don't quite match up)
2. Do I lose any shards if I lose any regions?

There is limit on shards based on how long the game took (in rounds, not in seconds) and how many players were there. This is to prevent players farming shards by eating each other regions until they get bored

What if they just end turn very fast and the eat and farm?
