Unit cost and ability matrix

I don't know of any current ones. The costs and values are updated a couple times per year.

One player made a battle calculator that works fairly well, although some of the values are outdated now.

I mean you can combine many things from the community created guides section and make it a guide as spreadsheet without guides will not be useful. I suggest having detailed explanation next to it. Spredsheets that say normal abilities may not be very useful as it is already a 'copy and paste' thing from the game

The problem is the game interface is not user friendly when it comes to things like comparing a Lv1 Infantry to a Lv2.

I want a matrix, where at a glance, I can compare values and make a build decision without a bunch of clicks.

It may be due to me being a newbie and not knowing all the values yet.

I wonder if the unit values are formula based or are in a database.

Does anyone have the database or the formulas?

@suntso The database and unit values are not exact in this game as their is an x-factor. However one of our COW and forum members made dxcalc.com as @VorlonFCW said. It mostly depends on what you want ad attack and defend values are readily available. We can create some sort of spreadsheet together with a few other forum members but I just want to know the format

Help! I'm freakin new here and I dont know what happened to my tutorial. It's bugged, I clicked the gold button to speed up the research but it didnt work. Instead a window popped up and showed that I had no gold??? Game 3030990.

@IndochinaUnion It looks like you used too much and accidentally spammed gold.

@VorlonFCW Do you think that bug report might not be the right name for that? Probably question and bug report or something like that

Is it possible for admin to clean up this thread and move the off topic posts to their own thread?

This is different from CON/Supremacy forum where mods love to move things. We just keep it here even if it is in the wrong place.

So I'm working on a unit browser tool.

I have questions :

A) Do build costs and support costs always remain the same for a unit, regardless of level?

B) Does speed in friendly and enemy provinces ever vary from 80% and 50%?

C) On the unit info panel, is the Current Production time always the same for a specific unit & level?

A commendable initiative, this is sorely missing! Note that there are frequent rebalances though, which aren't always published by development, so this will always be a work in progress and prone to inconsistencies.

As for your questions:

A) Afaik, yes.

B) Yes, it is also affected by infrastructure level in the province.

C) This is a guess, but I would THINK yes.

Note that there is ONE unit where build requirements are different for various levels of equipment: Rockets L1 require airbase L1, higher levels require airbase L2.

Also, it looks like HP are always the same for each specific unit for all levels.

Am I correct?

Again, I think so, yes.

Designing a spreadsheet that was useful seemed to be problematic.

So I created a tool instead.

Here is what I have so far :

Unit Browser Tool

I only compiled data for 3 unit types to show how it would work.

Strength will also vary with terrain.

What is this "1.5 events"?
