well move this to strategy:P

otherwise this is awesome! (i'm assuming. i remember the old tool and that was awesome so..)

I will check it out in the next hour or so though

I cannot leave planets page and I cannot advance a tick

you go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Kthxbaigodie!

no, once the kinks are out I think it will be very handy for most families (or maybe just the smart people like Smartys, Einstein, Brandon, Deci and thirdrock)

[moved ---> Strategy]

Yeh, nice work!

Thanks for the replies so far!

no srsly remake ic for us

Woa, this is cool

It's the Simulator redesigned

Also Skylar, not much different the real game is to your simulator once it's working

Torqez clearly hasn't done any programming if he thinks their not that different

How did you get your programming skills to the level they are at now?

I just came ....... thiiisssssss close to completely removing compatibility of this program with internet explorer lol. Then I found the error and it was my fault xD
It's a good thing that firefox is programmer-friendly but sometimes it's a good thing ie gives me errors (I guess)

Sorry ya'll haven't seen anything updated on the web (if anyone's even keeping track lol) I've been working on the backend of the site and coordinating two databases would have been a nightmare with all the changes I make to the structure of the program constantly. But so far I've gotten the login/registration windows completed as well as a simulation view/create and custom race view/create windows as well.

My pseudo-list of things to complete include:
Create a window structure for all of the menus (fleet/market/special ops/history etc.)
Design the structure of and script all of the actions that you can do within each window (eg. place bids on the market, build things on planets etc)
Redesign/design a structure to how my onclick functions are organized (They are sort of all over the place right now lol)
Script a tick mechanism. (This part is going to require a lot of testing in the future xD)
Integrate everything further (Reduce style elements and move them into a css file, I hope to reduce some of the static data required for the browser if possible)

For the most part the entire site is almost a java-scripted copy of imperial conflict. I've included all spells and special ops and all units are included, as well as all research areas. Most of these things people wont make use of at all but it allows me to extend icsim if I want to in the future. This means it might be able to simulate attacks or spell cast outcomes to a small degree.

I have a question though about something I'm unsure of.
Racial Bonus Multipliers are calculated like this right?
-30% = 1/1.3 ~ 0.7692307692307692
-20% = 1/1.2 ~ 0.8333333333333333
-10% = 1/1.1 ~ 0.9090909090909091
0% = 1;
10% = 1.1
20% = 1.2
30% = 1.3
40% = 1.4
50% = 1.5

So if my Race's Income Bonus was -20% the income formula would be (gc_income) * 0.8333 right?

If anyone has any formula's that aren't listed in the IC Faq please leave me a comment!

Thanks

According to FAQ Guide:

Question: How do I earn money?
Answer: Theres a nice formula for income that goes like this:
Income = (100+ (pop/30) + (CashFactories * 8)) * (1+RaceBonus/100%) * (1+(2 * TaxOffices/(TotalBuildings + 1))) * (1+ EconomyScience%/100%)

The currency in Imperial Conflict is gc, short for gold coin. As you can see from the above formula, there are two main ways to get gc, through population and through cash producing buildings appropriately called cash factories. In addition, a few other factors can raise your income.
Lets focus on the income sources first.

Population Every planet has a base population and every Living Quarter (LQ) adds to this max. For a more detailed explanation about population see section - How does population work?.

Every 30 people give you 1gc as an income.
So every 500 population (=1LQ) ensures you 16,67gc income. 
Cash Factories (CFs) Every cash factory gives you a base income of 8gc.

Now the different factors that enhance your income:

Race Bonus (1+RaceBonus/100%)
This means that with a 50% income bonus you can multiply your base income with 1,5 (1+ 50/100)
A -30% income bonus means you should multiply with 0,7 (1+ -30/100).

Tax Offices (1+(2*TaxOffices/TotalBuildings + 1))
Every 1% of TO's you have in regard to your total amount of buildings gives you a bonus of 2% (add one to your total number of buildings).
For more information see section - How do Tax Offices work?

Science (1+EconomyScience%/100%)
You can invest in economy research. This will give you a certain research percentage.
Lets say you get 50% economy science.
Then you can multiply your base income with 1,5 (1+ 50/100)
With 20% economy science this means multiply with 1,2 (1+ 20/100).

Ahh cool thanks

The 1/1.x formula I think is used somewhere else cause I know I remember using the concept somewhere. I think it had to do with building costs or something xD

Doh! Now I'm going to have to redo the standard races in the database lol. Rawr.
