Combat Calculator

[The Wanderer]

Not sure if this will interest anyone ...

I've built a little web page that can be used to analyse your combat strength. You cut and paste the results from a fight and it analyses them and gives some general advice on how to improve your stats.

http://www.mafia-wars.info/

This is not a bot or script and has no way to connect to your actual Facebook account - it simply analyses the data entered and gives feedback. I don't think it breaks any rules and your identity remains anonymous.

But please don't this to the main Mafia Wars forum - it's not a secret, but I don't know how many hits my site can take.

Any feedback welcome.

Edited By Kevin: I hope you don't mind David but I updated the link to your calculator.

sweet link! I'll add this to the tips section and credit you

[BigMikey]

Dave, this is a good tool. There is another calculator that was posted by Manuel Grabowski and tested by Marnie Bannister along with a few others. Here is a link to the thread discussing the sandbox that Manuel built.

Here is the link to the actual calculator

Both tools are very informative, but one warning is that they are obviously not able to capture the value of defense items that do not show up in your attack weaponry. When you are attacked, as many people know, you use a different 501 of W-A-C. It is believed that both your best attack 501WAC and best defense 501WAC (along with attack and skill points) are used to determine the outcome of a fight.

I have a question for the group. Is there a consensus that the allocation of skill points to Attack or Defense matters? Or is the opinion that they are simply summed?

[The Wanderer]

I've been following Marnie's experiments, but I think she's got it wrong ... to much guessing for my liking.

When you're attacked (ie you're defending) your 501WAC is different from when you're the attacker, but they're NOT used together. When you attack someone it's your 501WAC (attacking team) against their 501 WAC (defending team), and when they attack you it's the other way around. Only the WAC on view in the fight screen are used to determine the outcome.

I'm fairly sure (about 98% sure) that attack and defence skill points are just added together.

I do agree with Wanderer on this one . will try the calculator too
thanks a lot !

[BigMikey]

So the allocation of skill points is a non factor? I also agree that it is your the 501WAC is different for Attack and Defense. It has to be.

I suspected you were following the thread. Thanks for the info.

[Phillipe Arigato]

Awesome tool, thanks for the link

[Simmo]

Great App mate thanks for sharing this one

[Tim]

Very nice tool. Thank you for sharing with us.

[jimmy]

Very cool idea. But I have to admit I did have a little trouble understanding what I need to do to improve my character.

I always said that 2 were the Hypothesis:

1. The one stated in Manuel script.
2. WAC * (ATT+DEF)

David, your idea is still COMBAT STRENGTH = 501 * (ATT+DEF) + EQUIP ATT + EQUIP DEF ?

Combat Analysis ...

COMBAT SCORE

Combat Score is a value ranging from 1 to 2500+ that reflects the strength of your Mafia in a fight against another player. The value is calculated using your Attack/Defence stats, your Mafia Size and the Equipment (weapons, armor and vehicles) that you take into a fight. Compare your score with friends to see who is the strongest!
Combat Score (You) = 584
Combat Score (Opponent) = ???

We can conclude that Don Roberto Luciano has a Combat Score less or equal to 584.




In David's formula, if Don Roberto Luciano had 310 attack and 310 defense, He would have won. Doesn't make sense with that ridiculous equipment.


Manuel's Formula:

Your Mafia of 501 fought against Don Roberto Luciano with 5 AR-15 Assault Rifles, 36 Napalms, 81 Cupid's Tommy Guns, 127 Sub Machine Guns, 7 Bookie's Holdout Pistols, 245 Mini Uzis, a Federal Agent, 25 Bodyguards, 32 Gas Masks, 40 Night Vision Goggles, 403 Body Armors, 4 Humvees, 7 Porsche 911s, 11 Harley Davidson "Fat Boy" Motorcycles, 36 Armored Cars, a Private Jet, 439 Towncars, a Stolen Mail Truck, and 2 Luxury Yachts.

Don Roberto Luciano's Mafia of 501 fought with 49 Sub Machine Guns, 64 Cupid's Tommy Guns, 50 Mini Uzis, 52 Police Batons, 19 Meat Cleavers, 15 AK-47s, 83 Poison Gas Grenades, 100 Bonus weapons, 69 Chain Guns, 2 Federal Agents, 42 Bodyguards, 20 Gas Masks, 37 Night Vision Goggles, 100 Body Armors, 100 Bullet Proof Vests, 26 Stab-Proof Vests, 3 Falsified Documents, 5 Lucky Shamrock Medallions, 14 Humvees, 16 Porsche 911s, 17 Harley Davidson "Fat Boy" Motorcycles, 38 Armored Cars, 10 Luxury Yachts, 10 Towncars, 12 Getaway Cruisers, 28 Prop planes, 20 Armored Sedans, 3 Sedans, 39 Armored Trucks, 5 Delivery Trucks, 5 Motorcycles, and 2 Speed Boats.

You WON the fight, taking 14 damage and dealing 26 damage to your enemy. You gained $336 and 3 experience points.


All the weapons, armors and vehicles your mafia of 501 brought to the fight together have attacking stats of 19516 and defending stats of 21333.
Multiplied with your corresponding skills you hit Don Roberto Luciano with a total of 5854800 (= 300 * 19516) attack and 6399900 (= 300 * 21333) defense, together: 12254700 points.
As you won the fight your enemy (who brought a total of 16655 defense and 14320 attack) could probably have any pair of attack/defending skills, where his overall value would be less than your total.
If his attacking stats were 10, he could have up to 727 defense. If his defending stats were 10, he could have up to 844 attack.

With his equipment he need at least 100 skill points more both in attack and defense.

I just checked out the calculator and it is awesome.
Thanks for sharing your creation with us.

Hi Marnie,

[quote="Satanik

David, your idea is still COMBAT STRENGTH = 501 * (ATT+DEF) + EQUIP ATT + EQUIP DEF ?

In David's formula, if Don Roberto Luciano had 310 attack and 310 defense, He would have won. Doesn't make sense with that ridiculous equipment.

[/quote]

Yes ... COMBAT STRENGTH = MAFIA * (ATT+DEF) + EQUIP ATT + EQUIP DEF

If Don Roberto Luciano had 310 attack and 310 defense, He would have won, and if Don Roberto Luciano had 310 attack and 309 defense, He would have LOST. It doesn't have to make sense - BUT at the time this fight took place, Don Roberto must have a combined ATT+DEF score of 619 or less.

[Kevin Thomas]

Yea, a definite thank you for this! I was getting curious as to how the stats actually played in, and it seems you guys have put a tremendous amount of effort into figuring it out. Thanks! If you guys ever need a lower player to test anything just let me know.

[Addihul]

This tool is awesome. Well done Wanderer
