S1914 Battle Calculator

Yeah, totally agree. I am in private discussions now with DxC on the details for one or maybe more videos about it. I will post it in this thread when everything is official.

Nice -I think that would be would be a great addition to your videos and think it is great that some one is publishing to promote the game.

Wanted to comment here on an important bug fix regarding building damage. In a situation where a melee attacker had buildings, its own building damage was applied to the buildings when it attacked, instead of those of the defender. In many scenarios this would have messed up the results pretty bad. It should be fixed now.

In situations where the stack with buildings was being attacked it should have been working properly all along.

Updated building behavior so that multiple stacks at the same position will "share" the buildings assigned to one of the stacks at that position. See https://dxcalc.com/share/s1914.info.html#forts for more info.

Now the first tutorial of this calculator tool is published on my channel! Many more will come with more complex fights and situations but better to split up in smaller videos I think since many viewers doesn´t bother to watch too long videos.

Check it out!

This tool is very useful. Thanks.

Lesson 2 of the tutorial is out now and we see how we add buildings, range weapons and multiple army stacks on each side. We also look at the function "Simulate variance" and see how important this can be, especially when the battle is close and contains buildings on the defense side.

AMAZING CALCULATOR!!!

Could you add a percentage button so that one can more easily calculate?

Also: Why doesnt this game have Battle Reports as oGame etc? They are SO fun to analzse!

Percentage of what?

If I fill in e.g. 5 Armored Cars, could it auto fill the maximum HP/moral amount?

Otherwise you have to have all the maximum HP values at heart, and multiply them with the amount of units of each type to figure out which HP score to fill in.

Also, it would be amazing if there would be 50% / 75% / 100% of maximum HP Buttons for approximate HP values.

Amazing tool you did there, im impressed!!
Can you share some of the code / calculations?

I have yet to understand the exact game dynamics - is there a post in this forum for in-depth analysis of the fighting calculations?

Cheers from Germany!!

If you input 100% it will set it to full HP already. This is in the help page: https://dxcalc.com/share/s1914.info.html#unit_hp

In my first tutorial video I actually show where you can find the HP numbers and also how you can choose to enter the percentage instead so have a look at it. I think that it will make it easier for you.

thank you!

Amazing work!

The calculator is really working flawless this time!

I would like to ask a question.

When I attack 20 infantry with 100% HP + 10 cavalry with 100% HP with 10 heavy tanks. A total of 450 points of damage will be dealt.

Why do the infantry take damage: HP:-257.1 (64.3%) 12 died. Cavalry take damage: HP:-192.9 (77.1%) 7 died

In my understanding, it should be 450 * (20/30) = 300 for infantry and 450 * (10/30) = 150 for cavalry.

Where am I wrong in my understanding?

I've noticed that the calculator isn't working properly when it's calculating a land unit fighting transport ships. An infantry unit on land is causing only 2 damage when attacking a transport ship for some reason.

A full hp infantry unit should kill a transport ship in 3 hits and yet the battle lasts 6 rounds.

Edit: I had made a case about land units fighting naval units was off, but I was mistaken. I took into consideration their normal damage instead of naval damage.

Can't I delete a post?

Hello,

I've been doing some sanity checking:

If I my numbers are correct, a single heavy tank should do 45 damage in one round, not 61,2. Also, Infantry does way too much damage. There is no way infantry stack can kill 260HP tank in one attack...

Correct me if I am wrong.

Best regards,

If I my numbers are correct

Your numbers are correct, but your interpretation of the battle isn't. In this battle you have both sides attacking. In the first round the tank does do 45 damage to the infantry, but when the infantry attack the tank does defensive damage based on the HP it has left after the infantry apply their defensive damage. Same for infantry, they are doing an offensive and defensive hit.

In the calc if both sides attack Army A attacks first. So

Tank attacks

1. infantry losses 45 HP (and 2 infantry die)

2. tank loses 175 HP

Then infantry attack

1. Remaining infantry have 139.7 offensive damage potential so tank dies

2. Tank has 16.23 defensive damage potential so infantry lose that much on top of 45

45 + 16.23 = 61.23

If you want to see how much damage a stack will do in one hit, set a target for one side and set Defend on the other side.

A user sent me a request to add Stormtroopers to dxcalc. I have been adding such event units to the COW dxcalc after a user sends me screenshots of all parts of the unit card. If anyone would like to send me this information I will add them.

EDIT: Stormtroopers are in dxcalc now.
