1. What is a Rise of Kingdoms Building Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the actual building time in Rise of Kingdoms after applying various time reduction bonuses.

Purpose: It helps players plan their building upgrades by accounting for research, alliance, and other time reduction effects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( BuildTime \) — Actual building time (minutes)
• \( BaseTime \) — Base building time (minutes)
• \( Reductions \) — Total time reduction as decimal (0.1 = 10%)

Explanation: The base time is multiplied by (1 - reductions) to calculate the actual time needed after applying all reductions.

3. Importance of Building Time Calculation

Details: Accurate time calculation helps with resource planning, speed-up usage optimization, and upgrade scheduling.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the base building time in minutes and total reductions as decimal (default 0.1 for 10%). Reductions must be between 0 and 1.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where do I find base building times?
A: Base times are shown in-game before reductions are applied or can be found in ROK building time charts.

Q2: How do I calculate total reductions?
A: Add all your time reduction bonuses from research, VIP, alliance help, etc. (e.g., 20% + 10% = 30% or 0.3).

Q3: What's the maximum possible reduction?
A: Typically around 70-75% (0.7-0.75) with all maxed research, VIP, and active buffs.

Q4: Does this include speed-ups?
A: No, this calculates the remaining time after passive reductions. Speed-ups are applied separately.

Q5: Can I use this for research/other timers?
A: Yes, the same formula works for research, healing, and other timers with reductions.
