Calculator

[The Legend]

Ya, fairly sure the manual is wrong

i keep getting less land than the calculator says...

[Crimson Shadow]

Yeah I always get alot less than what it says too.

Ive been using the old calc and it works just fine, +/- 5 land at the most

Here is the forumla implemented as it is in the manual:
http://funkja.public.iastate.edu/calculator.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
        $you = $_POST['you'] * 1.0;
        $them = $_POST['them'] * 1.0;
        $hits = $_POST['hits'] * 1.0;

        echo "<strong>Land grabbed:</strong> " . ($them/$you)*($them * .13) * pow(0.7,$hits) . "<br><br>";
}
?>
<form action="calculator.php" method=post>
Your land: <input type=text size=10 name="you" value="<?php if(isset($you)) echo $you; ?>"><br>
Their land: <input type=text size=10 name="them" value="<?php if(isset($them)) echo $them; ?>"><br>
Their Hits: <input type=text size=10 name="hits" value="<?php if(isset($hits)) echo $hits; ?>"><br>
<input type=submit value="Calculate" name=submit>
</form>

I'm pretty sure this cannot be the formula that is implemented in the game - because it is possible to grab more land then they have. Which would be interesting eh?

My version seems to be under the actual value by 10% or so.

I got it from the legends old website like 3 years ago...I think there might be a link in the forums somewhere.

My excel worksheet:
http://www.upload.ee/files/2358998/n...acro.xlsx.html

Includes:
- Grab calculator (inaccurate, if you know the correct formula, then let me know)
- Battle calculator (quickly copy/paste as text enemy espionage into A1 cell)
- War calculator - BR calculator, AA calculator, Genocide calculator, Population calculator, Land calculator
- Economy - Indy, casher, techer production (thanks to ang101 and the legends calc).

Includes small tips how to use the file. If something is too vague, ask here.

I have been using the copy/paste function for like 2-3 months, I can't imagine going back to calculating break amounts in head/calculator any more. Calculating it in head may be even faster, but the risk of failing is greater and you don't get as accurate result as with this excel - reduced readyness loss.

***Make sure you copy enemy espionage FROM SAVED INTELS. There, the intel doesnt consist of different names for each unit upgrade level, therefor it's easily usable in excel.

Things to do:
Farmer production
GA calculator
copy/paste vol 2.0 -> copy enemy overview.
