CoW Unit Browser Update

Nice tool! It is really helpful to have the possibility to have all kinds of unit stats on a single screen!

When you get your hands on that dataset, please let me know, I'm also doing some tooling (a resource usage planner) and I need about the same data.

@freezy? Is something like thisavailable (or could it be made available), or is it against Bytro policies? Some kind of Excel thing maybe?

I asked about a database several years ago, got none

I use the tool mostly to decide which tech to research.

For me what tech to gain is THE key strategic decision in the game.

As all other strategies will come from what types of units I build.

Nice tool.

Can I please politely ask why that is? You must have these figures readily available in some format, just to feed the game engine... is it really so much work to give out those tables, even in some as-is or not immediately usable format, to dedicated fans who want to spend some time developing tools for the game? I mean, the alternative for us is to open all those "build unit" overlays for units of all levels and type over these numbers... which is the main reason why I dropped further development of the tool I was working on before; it simply takes DOZENS of hours. Can we do some "pretty please with sugar on top" s on this one?

An even more compelling reason for requesting unit stats is that the displayed values are heavily rounded, which can strongly alter an estimate of a battle outcome or in thinking about optimal units to research and use.

Why: Because it would still be work for someone at Bytro to compile this data into a shareable form. We don't want to share our entire balancing tables or raw game files, those are internal documents/files. Teamleads would need to be convinced that its worth it to spend work time on compiling this data for a handful forum users (or to develop some API for it). Maybe its actually not much work to do. But also consider that these stats might change every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently balancing changes happen, so if you want to have this "service" frequently then time would add up.

Btw my comment regarding "not against policy" was meant that its not against policy that users build and offer such tools on themselves. Tbh I don't know the exact policy (or if there is any) how much of such internal data can be shared by employees. I would regard unit stats as harmless but maybe this also would still need to be clarified.

Looking for feedback.

Please report value errors, use issues or improvement ideas on this thread.

Also if anyone knows of a database with the combat values, costs etc. would be of great help.

If you wish to help compile the data, pm me.

In the upper left you can select the units to view.

Strange. What browser are you using? Do you happen to have javascript disabled?

Sorry about that, was some legacy code. I do not test for compatibility with Safari and had a warning about that.

Code has been removed. You should be able to access the site now, but not sure if it will work 100% in Safari.

My error tracking logs the browser type, this is also some old code from when browsers were not so compatible.

This is "a database with the combat values, costs etc".Please use it if you want.

nice, the issue is that the lvls of the different units are not comparable one to one, because availabilit is an issue, next to doctrines and terrain. But an extensive database with actual figures would be awesome

Air, naval, and secret units don't seem to work for me.
