GOTM Victory Condition Comparison Utility

[Denniz]

This program is intended to help pick the highest scoring victory condition in a GOTM/COTM game based on current date, score and projected finish dates for victory conditions being compared. In order to do this, I have replicated basic the Jason Score Calculator functionality from the GOTM web pages.

GOTM38 Projection - actual scores records from 900AD to 1000AD.
The growth trend is the average difference between the scores entered.

The idea is to give you an idea whether one victory condition would score better over another. It assumes stead growth in score over the period of time from present date until the projected finish date. You must pick a similar past GOTM/COTM. (I have provided overrides for everything but the difficulty comes from the selected game.)

The attached file is 1.6MB due to the need to include the VB6 runtime files. VCComp_Setup.zip

Edit: Attached new "GOTM.dat" file with the correct COTM07 information. Just replace the one in the install folder.
