The combat is so kiddy
Clearly, you've never been in real combat.
I've got a spreadsheet that will calculate:
- Gold and loot per pillage, though Firefox plugins can do this now
- Distances between coordinates from all of my cities, with the option to enter the speed of the ships being used
- Scheduling capability that also accounts for loading times of troops
- A sheet that organizes all of the pillages into one schedule list. That way I can coordinate multiple attacks on one city such that they'll arrive at just the right times.
- A "combat calculator" page. Enter in the military units you want to send, and the enemy's military (spied out or guessed), and it'll calculate the attack/defense values so that you know how many units you
should send.
- An inventory page, so I can keep track of how many troops I have stationed in which town.
This is what I do when homework gets too tedious - I make a spreadsheet for a game.
