Bandits return on investment

Here's the math behind the bandit percentage return on investment, by Eric Civ4 Master of Sabah:

The reward per unit contributed is four (4) bread and three (3) luxury goods. (source: Nome events page)

Each luxury good (across the 5 types) has average value of 7.968 food. (source: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pc42fSUXFCpId7RG9wLh0GA)

so, per archer/spearman unit you get

7.968 * 3 lux goods + 4 food = 27.904 food revenue

the production cost per soldier/archer is 21.6 food (with inputs and time included) (source: unknown)

27.904 revenue - 21.6 cost = 6.304 food profit per archer/spearmen sent

6.304/21.6=0.29185185185185185185185185185185, or 29.185% Phnepet 03:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
