MU numbers are not calculated by the area covered specifically. Its a measurement of populations at the 3 end points and the physical size of the field. The number of people under the covered area is irrelevant.
Greg Ensminger i know for a fact it is certainly not the population under the field. We created a field recently that should have been well over 10mil but when it came up it was only 4.4mil. There is absolutely no way it can be counted as you say.
Not to mention Greg Ensminger how do you explain fields entirely over water having millions of MU counts? It cannot possibly be based on the number of people under the field. At least, not in any accurate sort of way.
Jim Maul when I covered our state it was 2.2 million mu, the 3 anchors were all small towns (the largest durango co pop. 17k) the measure of MU has never been stated to be human alone, but the 3 originating portals are certainly not the way mu is calculated.
Then perhaps its a random number generated at the time ;) No but seriously, Im not saying its based strictly on the populations of the end points, but I really believe it is some calculation of the population at the end points * the physical size of the field. This is the only rational explanation for fields entirely over water that have insanely high MU counts.
But if someone from ingress would actually explain, we could stop these silly discussions. We could argue this forever and none of us would ever really know for sure.

ReplyDeleteGood to know Jim Maul!
ReplyDeleteJim Maul that is incorrect, it IS the population covered under the field.

ReplyDeleteso do fish count as mu's?
ReplyDeleteJoe Philley care to weigh in?
