Battle Simulator I!

[North American Republics]

Part me being bored and part me seeing if I could do something with what I've learned of C++, here is a battle simulator! (Only for Windows)

It is completely virus free and may be completely glitch free! I present to you the download link to "Battle Simulator I -Beta 1.1" with a useful README file (not) included! The "army.txt" file has no helpful commentary, so if you wish to change values, please use the program's "Edit Army" mode under the "Run" menu (make sure to click the button next to the field that you are changing to register it; unfortunately only single word names can be used for the attacker and defender. I am looking into that).

Battle Simulator I - Beta 1.1
Battle Simulator I - Beta 1.1: Source Code
Battle Simulator I - alpha 1.0.1 (Still a simple console program)

*To install, just extract the folder from the archive and read the README file.*

This program can be used as an accepted simulator (if all parties accept) so that wars can be fought quicker without waiting for your opponent to come up with figures (figures are shown as the program runs). It is very basic at the moment, partially attributed to my lack of good programming skills and partially due to the amount of time it takes to write this stuff out and balance it. If people could test it and post their results, I would greatly appreciate it. Enjoy!

Avaerilon: 2,500
NAR: 0

;D Great work!

[North American Republics]

-_-

Attacker (NAR): 2186
Defender (Avaerilon): 1248

;D It works!

[Eggy216]

Attacker ((Eggy216)): 2186
Defender ((NAR)): 1248

Agreed. It works very well :P

[Goncar]

I can't download crap on my computer

[North American Republics]

Both of you are using valleys!

In general? That sucks. You aren't missing too much, though; no graphics and all that jazz.

[Eggy216]

I didn't use any terrain actually :P

[North American Republics]

You left it as the default? -_- I've got to do some tweaking. And I'm not going to make myself invincible ;)

[Eggy216]

Lol Make it so that every 10th time, Cookies rain from the sky :O

[North American Republics]

Every tenth time...what? I can make it so that there is a 1/10 chance of it saying "Cookies are raining from the sky" at the end of execution.

[Eggy216]

Sure, let's do that xD Seriously, do it.

And 1/30 of the time both the Attacker and the Defender are left with 0 troops because "Ainland returned to smite you all" xD

[North American Republics]

Slight update, just for Eggy. To keep it cross-platform (I think it is anyway), it looks a bit weird after you get the "Cookies are raining from the sky" message. Nothing else was added, but I am planning on expanding on the cookies thing. ;D

[North American Republics]

Updates keep rolling out! I tweaked troop loss a bit and I changed how the message is displayed. I also tried to optimize the code some, getting rid of unneeded variables and the like. Source code updates automatically if you want to take a look.

What if your army is based around stupidly skilled demi-god (without the god powers, on the most part) in small numbers?

[North American Republics]

I'm planning on introducing leaders and their traits in a future version.

[Deleted]

:D thanks! My army is elite battalions lead by exceptional soldiers, who are lead in turn by exceptional, exceptional soldiers. Like Takar, or Savar

[North American Republics]

I think that I'm going to put it on a slider-type scale with things like:

Leader Experience: 1 (fresh out of the war academy) --> 10 (god-like)
Troop Experience: 1 (just enlisted) --> 10 (god-like)

[Millyland]

A .exe file, I do not approve lol

[North American Republics]

Aww, mac user :P

[North American Republics]

Okay, new version incoming. V1.0.3 :P

Introducing experience/quality levels. Your troops and their leader are given a number between 1 and 10 where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best. Having leaders with the same stat would be the same as having no leaders.

---

Equum, do you think that you could give me some kind of example?

---

If anyone has any suggestions, I'll try to make them a reality. Don't ask about fancy menus and the like, because that will not happen in any reasonable amount of time :P

[Eggy216]

Did you seriously add that? Omg I have to get on my laptop and check it out then xD

Sent from my A500 using ProBoards

[North American Republics]

Yeah, 1 in 10 chance of it showing up when you use it.

[Eggy216]

I got it I did it about 18 times, but I got it lol.

Also, it still says v1.0.2 :P

[North American Republics]

I was actually going to put something in the OP, but I really didn't care enough to :P

If you watched the Olympics...

[Goncar]

Ya. She clearly wasn't happy getting Silver

[Deleted]

um, well, the EAF military works on an experience yields rewards basis. Standard soldiers are organised into four different classes, and have little or no choice from the armory, Sargents have more choice, and so incrementally more through the ranks. at the rank of Battalion leader, you have free reign, to a point. they are strategic geniuses and amazing fighters. I'm not sure what you mean by "an example" NAR.

[North American Republics]

I meant the above post + numbers :P

[North American Republics]

I'll be uploading a beta version of 1.0.5 soon. It's a beta version because it is drastically different from the previous uploads.

[North American Republics]

Beta version in OP.
