| | | | |
| − | In the new code, the formula for how SoM values are calculated has been changed. The max range is still 75%-125%, but it's not as simple as the formula above anymore. It has been speculated that the change was addition of more decimals (example: 75.000%-125.000%) but there's no evidence for that being true. The range shrinks depending on how many thieves are sent. The lowest possible range you can achieve is 3% in both directions.

| − | ==Explain SoM Translators to me!==
| |
| − | What SoM translators do is that they run SoM values values through a table, multiplying it from 0.75 to 1.25, and match up the output values from the first and second SoM to determine the exact translated value.

| − | ===When May SoM Translators be used?===
| |
| − | SoM translations may be used for any value on the "Spy on Military" page such as:-
| |
| − | * ''Defence at home''.
| |
| − | * ''Infiltrate values'', to determine exact number of thieves a province has.
| |
| − | * ''Spec and Elite values'' on '''Armies Out''' in SoMs, to figure out how many soldiers and specs were sent off in an attack, to calculate your [[Ambush]].

| |
| − | ====How Accurate are SoM+SoM Translations?====
| |
| − | {{outdated}}
| |
| − | SoM translations are 100% accurate.
| |
| − | A SoM + SoM translation is more accurate than [[Angel]]'s CB+SoM translation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | As explained above, SoM translation no longer works the same way. You will only be able to get a range of possible values in the new code.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====I get Too Many Values from a SoM translation!====
| |
| − | If you get multiple answers, get another SoM Value and add the third value to your translator.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====I don't get Any Values from a SoM translation!====
| |
| − | If you get '''NO''' answers from the first two values, then the target's true defense changed in between the time you took to obtain the first and second value.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are some possibilities:
| |
| − | * Hour just changed and he had defense in training. | |
| − | * His defensive military efficiency changed; either he got hit or he casted Town Watch or Minor/Greater Protection.
| |
| − | * His defense changed due to soldier aid.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====I don't get it, why can't I just send 1000 thieves for a closer estimate?====
| |
| − | Even if you send more thieves, there is a margin of error, with a minimum of ~10%. Furthermore, if you fail an op, that leads to thief losses. If you send 8 thieves and fail an op, you lose 0 thieves. You really are aiming for 2 SoM values of a large range, which leads to one true translated value.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Angel's CB+SoM Translation bugs====
| |
| − | If your target has Town Watch, Aggression or Fanaticism on, your CB + SoM will be ''(untranslatable)''. It will also not translate if the target has armies out with multiple return times.

A SOM is a Spy On Military Report of a target, reflecting his military affairs page.
SOMs and other intel operations' accuracy is dependent on the number of thieves that succeed in the operation. The range of accuracy runs from +/-3% to +/-25%. To achieve the minimum of randomness 10% of the senders thieves need to gather intel on the target province.
