Not sure how useful it will be in future rounds. But this is nearly the same strat I used this round. (I simmed animator like crazy to give my realm a head-start in their simming process. Ended up never getting a chance to sim the race I wanted to play)

Here is the processor formulas I used.

Formula 1: (quote from realm council)
P = Processor %
W = Warehouse %
R = Other Resource building % = Farm% + SM% + IM% + DM% + Tower%
E = Everything Else% = CH% + Home% + ...
V = Value of Warehouse (2.8 to 3.1818)

P = .315 - .5*E + .5*W*|V-1|*(1-(W/(W+R)))

This formula gives: P=31.5 at 0% W and P=31.5 at 0% R. The Maximum % of P happens when E=W=(Approximately 27%). This returns a value of P = 46%. This is not the maximum resource gain, but it's the point of increasing diminishing returns for warehouses (max resource gain is 68.5% W).

(I calced what P would be assuming W was a constant (it should be a variable). Got an answer that I knew was wrong, then changed it to something that might be correct. So far it looks correct, please test it out.)

Formula 2
P = Processor %
W = Warehouse %
H = Home%
R = Other Resource building % = Farm% + SM% + IM% + DM% + Tower%
E = Everything Else% = CH% ... (does not include homes)
V = Value of Warehouse

P = .315 - .5*E + .5*(W+H)*|V*(W/(W+H))-1|*(1-((W+H)/(W+H+R)))

This formula takes into account that warehouses do not have population space.

Use which ever formula gives the higher percentage of processors (formula 2). I would recommend making an excel spreadsheet.
