OK my little math subroutine just went from one line to like 50 lines. 8O
I think damage for tactics is already INT based isn't it? Ie…Zhuge Liang would be able to do more tactic damage than Song Ren with the same tactic.

Not surprising, but I thought I'd mention it just to make sure. I'm not a programmer, though, and I can't use magic to will excellent code into existence yet…
I've got an idea… I found a formula that I think would work via a loop that shows some pretty steady "damage potential" growth. The formula is:
Damage Potential + ( Level * 1/2 Level )
Then if there is an overflow add to the "big number".
That shows a nice, predictable growth for each damage related tactic. For example here's the list for "Lian Huo":
Level Damage Potential
0 60
1 60
2 62
3 63
4 68
5 70
6 78
7 81
8 92
9 96
10 110
11 115
12 132
13 138
14 158
15 165
16 188
17 196
18 222
19 231
20 260
21 270
22 302
23 313
24 348
25 360
26 398
27 411
28 452
29 466
30 510
31 525
32 572
33 588
34 638
35 655

42 942
43 963
44 1028
45 1050
46 1118
47 1141
48 1212
49 1176
50 1250
51 1275
Maybe also add a bonus for "current soldiers".
Then I could have 3 lists for modders. In the lists you'd put tactic IDs for STR, AGI, and INT bonuses. Ie… if you put Lian Huo on the "AGI" list then there would be bonus damage for higher AGI officers.
Then I could make another list… A "this tactic always works" list so that some damage tactics could be used by officers with lower INT. The framework for that is already available via my other tactics (like "Charge").
OK I think I've got a formula figured out…
Damage Potential + (Level * 1/2 Level)
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for soldier count for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for STR (if on list) for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for AGI (if on list) for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for INT (if on list) for every other level.
That means Lian Huo with less than 255 soldiers and no STR, AGI, or INT bonuses at level 51 would do a max of 1275 damage.
But… Lian Huo with 65K soldiers and 255 STR, AGI, and INT with max bonuses at level 51 would do a max of 2775 damage.
Lian Huo with 65K soldiers with 220 INT (with INT bonus) at level 51 would do a max of 1975 damage.
I decided to change my formula to give more weight to current soldiers.
Current formula is:
Damage Potential + (1/2 * 1/2 Level)
+ Max of 31 bonus damage for soldier count for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for STR (if on list) for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for AGI (if on list) for every other level.
+ Max of 15 bonus damage for INT (if on list) for every other level.
I've put a calculator in a spreadsheet to help come up with the right base damage potential and bonuses:
https://www.box.com/s/4c16fbe302096085c757
If everybody's cool with this formula I'll start coding.
It's done.
– Tactic damage is level, soldier, and optionally STR, AGI, and INT based.
– To calculate damage, use this spreadsheet and fill in the yellow boxes. The final estimated damage potential is in the gray box for each level. –> https://www.box.com/s/c550a40e0c0d8adf5cd7
– There are 3 lists to control whether a tactic gets a STR, AGI, or INT damage bonus. Simply put the tactic ID on the list (ie…01 for Lian Huo)
– There is a list to control whether a damage/healing tactic always succeeds. For Lian Huo you would put "01" at 0x5720, Ye Huo at 0x5721, etc…
Lists are:
0x5720-0x572F: Tactic always succeed list. 01=always work (only for tactics 01-0F)
0x5730-0x573F: STR bonus list (put tactic ID in this list for STR bonus)
0x5740-0x574F: AGI bonus list (put tactic ID in this list for AGI bonus)
0x5750-0x575F: INT bonus list (put tactic ID in this list for INT bonus)

So, higher STR characters do more damage or something? or High agility? Not sure if I understand how it works…
Nevermind, just saw your list. It seems that High STR, High Soldier count guys will deal way more damage than low HP, slow, high INT guys
Quote:Nevermind, just saw your list. It seems that High STR, High Soldier count guys will deal way more damage than low HP, slow, high INT guysThat's not the idea. The modder decides which tactics get which bonuses (if any). For example you might have a fire tactic that gets only an INT bonus (but no STR or AGI bonus). Then you might have a ninja tactic or something that only gets an AGI bonus. Or maybe one called "Smash" that only has a STR bonus. The modder controls the tactics, who does them well, and what type of damage they do.
Can you make the "No Fail" list for all tactics through 1E?
Quote:Can you make the "No Fail" list for all tactics through 1E?Sure…
I also figured out why the mod is so glitchy when I make changes to the duel text and it has nothing to do with the changes I make. I tried just deleting that 1 line of garbled mess and made no changes to the text at all and the game STILL froze and got all glitchy. Thus, I believe that the issues is a problem w/ how DOAEditor is compiling the text.
I could probably enter the text manually through the hex…
My next project is:
– Make the "No Fail" list for all tactics through 1E (but Charge, An Sha, and Duel cannot be changed via this list).
– Look into the "Guard" thing further.
– Look into the soldier progressions bug further.
