Gold Economy & the importance of Win Streak/ Lose Streak

What separates a lot of the casual players from the better players is their knowledge of econ.

In TFN, you’ll get passive income for free each round. At the start of the game, you will earn just two gold per round, but soon enough that passive interest will jump to five. Each round win will always earn you one gold on top of everything else.

The difficult thing about managing your economy is that a small amount of additional gold based on a current win or loss streak is added to the amount of gold you earn each round. So, if you are winning or losing consecutively, you will gain extra gold. These are the exact numbers:

• Two/three game streak = one extra gold per round

• Four game streak = two extra gold per round

• Five and greater game streak = three extra gold per round

As you can imagine, this extra gold adds up quickly over time and can make all the difference in-game. This rewards players that play aggressively, making sure that players need to be always making decisions and building up their team, lest they fall behind in gold.

Some more advanced players can recognize early in a game that they have rolled a weaker board of units, and will loss streak on purpose so that they keep up a healthy bank of gold.

Depending on how much gold you have at the end of a round, you also get another interest bonus each round. The amount of interest you get is related to every 10 gold you have up until 50:

• 10 gold = + one gold interest

• 20 gold = + two gold interest

• 30 gold = + three gold interest

• 40 gold = + four gold interest

• 50 gold = + five gold interest (the max)

• For ex: If you end the round with 45g, you will have an additional four gold from interest next round.

You can check how much gold you’re earning per round at any time by hovering your mouse above the gold icon at the top of your shop.
