Track: High School STEM Poster Competition

Abstract

The objective of this paper done by a high school student is to introduce a novel methodology of playing a strategic video game by applying several statistical techniques to develop troop strength metric.  The focus is on how to build a powerful troop which can both attack and defend well as well as good looting and speedy travel capability. Troop strength power indexes were established through three methods: (1) default sum-up, (2) Z-Transformed, and (3) Non-Parametric.  Non-Parametric method was chosen to build the transfer function and to optimize the troop units since most data distribution is highly skewed.  The troop types considered fit to Kingdom Expansion Strategy has been reduced from 45 to 15 based on the Troop Power Index Ranking.  Established the Transfer Function Sensitivity Analysis, within the and Troop Constraints, the troop units were optimally selected to meet the current Kingdom expansion strategy.
