Hello. I was just wondering if you guys wanted any type of program that could somehow enhance game play.

I will write this program in C# and there will be no GUI.


My thoughts were possibly a influence calculator. Howmany propagandas would you need to knock a player down to (insert number) influence.

Or howmuch influence would you need until Charity Donations becomes a better way to upgrade your influence.

Open to suggestions, should I do this or is everyone fine with just the travel calculators?

If enough support, will release more options possibly? I am right now writing the algorithms.


Virus Scan will be given. Please note there are such things as false positives and this code is written in Microsoft Visual Studios.


Since I am writing this code for the better of the game. Source code will be released if anyone wants to pick up where I started or create their own version.

Source Code (Fixed, need algorithm though)

Current goal:
Make it so it can do math for Charity Donations and Propaganda.





Updates: Still missing the algorithms.

Works!

Really useful things, but I can already do those.

What I would like, though, is some routine that goes through all the "port battles" in all the ports for, say, the last week or so, and extracts all the combats of one specific player. Sure, it can be done by hand (I sometimes do), but a routine for that would be REALLY neat. Would it be cheating, though?

That could be cheating and it would also mean a SCAN of the game's elements. Which I would have to ask CJ for. For now I am just doing calculators, etc. I may go onto more epic things later

Calculators are good Chin. +1

I use excel mostly for my calculation currently, but I could use a calc like the ones you proposed.

If anyone is a mathematician and loves writing algorithms, please contact me. You will get your name in the credits.


So far the problem for me is the math. I am fine with the coding part.

i'm struggling to math some tech benefits but I like that you are doing this.

Charity usually follows the rule of 72

%gain/72 will show your amount needed to double, loosely

All coding bugs are fixed. None.


Now the algorithms. Updating the Screenshots as well.

a battle outcome predictor would be handy for new players (and for those who won't learn from defeats )

i t won't be exact, but a prediction like "0 to 15 percent chance to win" would already be of help.
the outcome needs a range because the attributes of the opposing ships are unknown and so are tech additions.

Looks good.

To show my appreciation towards such projects, I will send 2,500,000 gold coins to each of you when the project is finished.

I will try to get summation integrated into the equation, we are not far.


Maha your battle calculator interests me, but I am no statistician. I have no idea what to input as variables, but it is definitely possible.
