Supremacy 1914 Calculator

For anyone that plays Supremacy 1914 I just published a calculator at https://dxcalc.com/s1914. Let me know what's bugged out.

Aren't the numbers for attack/defense randomly generated within a certain range (that is very big)? I don't see how you can really accurately calculate a battle. I've had 10 battleships attack 1 infantry and do 0 damage. That's why I stopped playing the game.

No, the variance (+/- 10%) is less than CoW. If you attacked an inf with bbs and it didn't do damage that is some bug, or misinterpretation of what happened.

I guess the fact that they shut down the other games forums means people might flock here, lol.

So it's sad times for COW. I only recently made a battle calculator for s1914 and the usage currently is about 80:20 in favor in s1914 and going up daily. That tells me there are a lot more serious dedicated players in s1914.

Well to be fair in COW it’s usually somewhat easy to tell which stack will win a fight, so you don’t have to use the calculator as much. It may be different for supremacy, and the fact you made it recently may also have a part.

I think it's actually has more to do with the type of player it attracts. s1914 is very slow and you have lots of time to do calculations :)

But still 80:20. That's just embarrassing.

Btw. The percentages update at the top of each hour at dxcalc.com

Makes sense. That’s (kinda) what I was thinking when I wrote β€œmay be different.” I left supremacy because it was too slow and it felt like numbers were far more important than quality. Just didn’t like how getting crippled at the start meant certain death for the rest of the game.,,

4:1 DxC, remember to simplify!

Yeah, I haven't played it much, but the slow speed was painful. I really like Iron Order though. Very fast.

I haven’t played it that much, or CON. Should I?

Up to you. I haven't played CON since it came out around 2018 so couldn't tell you.

I actually use it when necessary
