Thanks, I now have the following adventures working in the simulator:

Bounty Hunter
Horseback
Witch of the Swamp
The Dark Priests
Outlaws
Sons of the Veldt

The others will be up as soon as I can get to them. I will probably be working on "Stealing from the rich" and "Traitors" next.

I'm doing the "Island of the Pirates" adventure. I'm 70% done and I know I've killed off a couple of the unit types. :( Here are the remaining unit types and stats:

Petty Officer Second Class
Hit Points 60
DMG 40-60
Accuracy 70%
Initiative: Normal
Skills: Attack Weakest Target, Splash Damage

Gunman
Hit Points 5
DMG 20-30
Accuracy 50%
Initiative: Normal
Skills: Bonus AC in tower

Caltrop
Hit Points 4
DMG 0-20
Accuracy 33%
Initiative: First Strike
Skills: Attack Weakest Target

Sabrerattler
Hit Points 30
DMG 10-20
Accuracy 50%
Initiave: Normal
Skills: None

Crazy Ship's Cook
Hit Points 5000
Damage 200-300
Accuracy 66%
Initiative: First Strike
Skills: Splash Damage

I meant to post yesterday that the simulator now supports "Traitors" and "Stealing from the Rich"

Also, if anyone who is doing any adventures and encounters a tower, and the simulator doesn't include the tower option for that adventure, please let me know.

Thanks,
Draxxon

Any chance we could get the simulator to run "x" many times like the German one, and show our min/max?

I am in love with your Simulator, but find myself using the German one more, due to these two features.

I like seeing how many times the sim was ran, and what I can expect to min or max on it.

I'm planning on this, but it will come after the adventures are done. The Run x times is a bit tricky because the code I'm using is not yet optimized and is a but CPU intensive (especially with multiple waves). I plan on getting around this by saving the results to a database, and then averaging the results against previous runs for the "This has been run x times" type of simulation.

As for the Min/Max, I have Selak's Min/Max code, along with the patch he sent me to fix a bug in it. I will be implementing it as well although I may optimize it a bit so that it doesn't require as much CPU.

Once I get the database portion working, it will be possible to actually just retrieve the results without running having to calculate if the sim has already been calculated. In this case, it would be possible to display the normal calculations AND Min/Max if they were available. (If I do implement this "retrieval without calculating" technique, the system will STILL calculate occasionally, just to make sure that the calculations in the database are as accurate as possible.)

I know this is a lot more technical than you were probably wanting, but the good news is "It's coming" the bad news is that the adventures are coming 1st. However, I am trying to add 1-2 new adventures every couple of days, so I don't have very many left.

Likewise

Thanks, I will be working more on things over the weekend. Since Adventures are having problems, I may work on the Min/Max part a bit. ;)

Darn it, I'm really going to have to give this a try. I've been using Seleks PC client app, but it hasn't been updated to include Adventure data. In any case, I love seeing your working on this Draxxon. Kudos!
