Hey Shink, since you cant change str/stam now do I need to revert my mission build to the str/stam I had at end of phase 3?

If so I need to change my build, but a little confused about it if you get time let me know!


Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

@Cult Welcome to the game! You will of course receive the New Player Bonus of +5 Strength and Stamina!

To all players: Here is the current roster, now including all builds (so you can compare your stats and learn about effective builds easier), and a preview of the new battle results. I love this game and spent time completely revamping the excel file into a user-friendly 'program". Now, I simply enter the build in words in the gui, and a hidden engine generates all the scores on another page (which is locked). Same goes for battle. I took what I used to use, and made that the hidden engine (expanding automation from 1 to 20 rounds). Now, I simply input the player stats, the overall player list, and number of players, and everything automates. I can't explain how proud I am with how this came out. On my end, I only need to type in 6 words to fully create a character, and similarly about 6 actions to run a battle. Moreover, once stats are entering to the battle gui, I only need to hit the spacebar and enter to run a battle. That means I can run best of 5's PVP duels or races to 10 in about 2 minutes (as a hint, keep your eye out for secret extra PVP missions with limited space-they may start dividing players stats-wise).

Below, you will find character info like I mentioned above, and shots of the battle. Tell me if you are interested in me releasing this as mission results (for only smaller ones) if I'm really busy one time or another.













Mission 2 Details this week!

Much love, Shink

[Uscari]

Very interesting, I encourage you to try this program going forward.

[Samurai X]

I'm gonna wait the details to build my char on this mission

[Shink]

Very interesting, I encourage you to try this program going forward.

Thanks! The "program" is really me just using excel to its maximum. In my experiences, excel falls short for high-level analyses, but provides the best form of on-the-fly data analysis. What does that mean? It means most programs require you to run code etc to produce scores, which go into a separate output window. Excel however will do it automatically, with programming of the actual data cells. I.E. In excel, when I put a value into the cell, I can write a hidden formula in the cell next to it (or in another place completely hidden) that calculates the scores instantaneously (no matter how complex the task). I hope that makes sense. With this ALL being said, I have made the page that users see when opening excel very friendly; basically a form to fill out. On the next page is the non-modifiable results.

The ultimate goal is to be able to have anyone use it, and to actually share it to other interesting individuals over google docs. Of course, in this version, you will not be able to 'screw up' the file, as I can password protect the important stuff (both seen and hidden). One benefit will be build testing. You can log into the google doc, modify your build or try a new build, and check out your new stats, over and over. Moreover, I may give some players the password to the battle gui, and they can host their own battles/games. Power to the players!
