Yes I know, formulas can't possibly be very accurate. As I said in another thread, a No Enemy Retaliation ability is a lot more important (and powerful) to a fragile unit than a tank (high HP) unit, because being fragile means that it should receive as little damage as possible. That was just one of many examples of such cases.

But of course the formulas and this program are a good start.

that depends which formulas.

If it's exact Nival uses a algo, their formulas can be accurate.

Ohh.. you're absolutely right

I encourage to search the best way to keep calculation balance with original creatures stats calculations.

Aaaaah
It works

As mentionned in the 'About' button, you can all ask for source code : it is an open-source program.

Zip containing all my project on Visual C++ 2008 :
Here.

If you can upgrade the source code Asheera, do it I'm not a perfect coder ! I'm just 17 years old

Ok this code confuses me

Because I never programmed in .NET and don't know about that. Also, I hate namespaces and other C++ stuff, I'm more towards C. C++ is just too high-level and bloated with all those 'inheritances' and other stuff for my taste, which can be achieved with C as well but much more cleaner (at least in my opinion)

Baaah you know, train a bit with managed c++ and you'll be able to script.
For me, I can practice this c++ easily, but don't ask me to understand the theory...

Just made it working.

Calculator returns error when I choose tier 8 - the table is too small.

Also, have no idea why the tier determines creature's power in any way?

Yes, you might think that power would be something absolute across all levels, but in fact, it is only really meaningful to compare creature power levels for creatures of the same level, since the level does change the value, in a seemingly arbitrary way (iirc).

It is used in the program for the tables of stats. I stopped the table at level 7 because Alcibiades did so. And remember, it him who is at the origin of the formulas, then ask for him for level 8 stats
But I think he can't do it, because the formulas and tables use middle value of each stats from each creature of this level. Then level 8... ???

Really like this tool, awesome for balance
but have some question about Other (Moderate ability, disadvantage etc.) can some one list this ability and disadvantages?
also I don't see MP in power calculation, how to calculate it?

You should ask to Alcibiades, it's him who made the calculation tables. I only put it together to make an executable program... If someone can answer you, it's him.

For example:
I gave to the Calculator emerald dragon stats and ticked his special abilities then and when I clicked "calculate" I got this error. To be sure what was causing it I ticked no special ability and wrote "1" in every box, random elementals. Then (as long as it was fine) I added new values to random boxes at a time (31 attack -> calculate -> 27 def -> calculate etc.). When I got to the health box, it crashed again.
To be 100% sure I repeated the process, but filled the health box first. At this time, calculator crashed at giving the creature tier 7.

To sum up, I have a feeling that I get this error randomly...

Show me your values of all parametres and checked abilities that you used for crashing this calculator

P.S. What OS you use ?!
