I tracked my own data for a while some months ago. Probably close to 1000 tributes. I spent two or three months well below my expectation value. At one point I was more than 99% confident that I wasn’t getting the correct tributes. Made a thread and everything.

Then, the next month, I was so far _above_ the expected values that things rapidly approached the mean again. I was pulling 12, 13 and 14-kingdom tributes like crazy.

I suspect, but obviously can’t prove, that Truxton is in a similar place to where I was. People who track tribute chances and get normal/high results don’t make threads about it.

In response to someone else’s question, I have seen 15-kingdom tributes multiple times. I don’t remember seeing anything 16 or higher, but those are so rare it’s entirely possible that I wouldn’t have seen one anyway, even across months of tracking.

Edit: here’s my thread.

> On a whim, I decided to start tracking tribute rates. All my kingdoms are at level 10, with 5+ stars, my guild’s red statue is at level \>100. Here’s a table with the totals as of this evening: Kingdoms # Times Expected # Difference 0 0 0.03 0 1 0 0.26 0 2 1 1.29 0 3 5 4.07 1 4 11 9.28 2 5 19 16.3 3 6 25 22.9 2 7 37 26.5 11 8 21 25.6 -5 9 16 21 -5 10 11 14.7 -4 11 3 8.94 -6 12 7 4.71 2 13 2 2.16 0 14 1 0.87 0 15 0 0.31 0 That right hand column is the diff…

I was wrong about how many tributes I tracked. It was less than 1000, but easily thousands of individual chances for kingdoms to give tribute. Which, if they are all independent, is just as good as tracking tribute totals.
