Versatile Combat Calc needed

[anarres]

What combat calcs are there that allow you to enter the values yourself, instead of having to select a unit from a list?

I need one to use in a mod, and none of the ones I've found will let me enter all the values I need, as they all have some pre-programmed units/terrain/modifiers.

Some of the better known ones almost work, but none will let me enter all the values I need.

I am a mathmatician and programmer by profession, and writing one myself is not impossible. If no-one can point me to a versatile enough calc then this is what I will have to do.

If you'd look at the source of the civfanatics combatcalculator, you'd see that it's a piece of cake to adapt it to input by values. Just change the drop down menu.

I wonder why it hasn't been upgraded for PTW...

Thanks Shabbaman, I will do that and host my own version that is fully configurable.

Maybe TF will want to offer it as well.

OK, here is a modified version of TF's combat calc to allow any values you want:

The code is wholly down to TF. I have changed some of the UI, but none of the core code.

I haven't bothered to change the land modifier list as I don't think you can change these things in the editor.

That's a good job anarres. You should contact TF about it, he could put it in the downloads section up front. You could also put this one in the tools section yourselves.
