In-game Statistics
After several requests, and thinking it a good idea myself, I'm working on an in-game statistics feature. This feature would allow you to get statistics about any scenario you've played, or statistics for all scenarios.
Some statistics I'm planning on recording:
- the type of units recruited, and total gold spent on recruiting
- number of units recalled (and trivially, gold spent on recalling)
- the units of each type on the player's side that have been killed
- the units of each type that the player has killed
- the advancements the player has made
- the total damage inflicted on enemies when attacking
- the total damage received from enemies in the form of counter-attacks
- the total damage inflicted on enemies in counter-attacks
- the total damage received from enemy attacks
- the average % chance to hit
- the average % chance enemies have to hit you
- a record of all the possible results for each type of combat. This would allow you to say "Eight times I have attacked with a 4 hit attack at 70% chance of hitting and missed all four shots"
- analysis of how much you have benefited from day/night.
Are there any other statistics people want recorded?

there is no real plan to make it change, but there has been some discussion on it. i, for one, hope it does not happen.

How about a stupidity-check?
- Number of times attacking something clearly stronger with a unit in red HP.
- Sacraficing a unit about to level-up.
- Losing all units of one type that you can't recruit (i.e. when you get theives but you can only recall them)
Or a luck-o-meter:
- Number of times attacking something clearly stronger with a unit in red HP but coming out on top.
- Getting all your attacks in, all your opponent's attack's failing and you haven't got an advantage due to the time of day.
- Losing all your units and slaying the enemy leader with your leader.
- Winning in 5 turns.

Heh how about a "The Computer Hates You" statistic that shows how many ridiculously low hit rolls you did.
It would be interesting because my Mermen never ever hit even when they have like a 70% chance...

just to be accurate, if your units are fighting nagas, they only have a 30% chance of hitting, not a 70% chance.Gafgarion wrote:Heh how about a "The Computer Hates You" statistic that shows how many ridiculously low hit rolls you did.

still, a 'luck-o-meter' would be a useful statistic.

The thing that's hard about a 'luck-o-meter' is that humans perceive themselves as unlucky when particularly important rolls go against them, even if many other less important rolls go for them.turin wrote:just to be accurate, if your units are fighting nagas, they only have a 30% chance of hitting, not a 70% chance.Gafgarion wrote:Heh how about a "The Computer Hates You" statistic that shows how many ridiculously low hit rolls you did.

It is very difficult for the computer to correctly assess which rolls are more important and which are less important.
It is likely that a human would want to look at a 'luck-o-meter' to justify their outrage at being 'ripped off' after an unlucky streak at a crucial time. It is likely going to be even more annoying for them when the luck-o-meter disagrees with them, and says they've been rather lucky.

i never said he was fighting nagas, i said IF he was fighting nagas.
nagas are what merman fight most of the time, anyway.
chances are a 'luck-o-meter' will not give much valid information.
why not just rig the RNG if you really want to get the kill? or use save/load technique?:)
