Point Value Calculator/Estimator
I have been developing a spread sheet and algorithm that estimates the point value of Army Cards.
I know the only real way to determine point value of a unit is to play test it, but this sheet gives you a ball park number +/- 20 points. Of course some of it is guess work, but I have put a lot of the official units through the sheet, such as Krug and Isamu(which are on the extreme end of things) and they come pretty close. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing |

Re: Point Value Calculator/Estimator
This looks pretty interesting. The only thing that is really open ended that I could see is for newly created abilities that dont have any previous unit using them. It would be a cool resource if there was a way to dial it in to minimize the playtesting phase. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Point Value Calculator/Estimator
Reminds me of my formula, though a lot more complicated. Of course, mine is for comparing figures, not building them from scratch, which is an ambitious goal. Not saying that's good or bad, but like yours, mine is only intended as a ballpark (though I'd argue +/-10 points most of the time is good enough).

My basic idea was (Move+Range+Attack+Defense)x Life +Special abilities. Everything else was added to reduce guess work. |

Re: Point Value Calculator/Estimator
Without going into the exact formula, every stat has a value between 5-30, every power has a value (usually 15-45 range), you take the difference between the official figure and custom figure and do a little more math, then add that to or subtract from the official point cost as appropriate for your custom cost.
