Investigate an 'efficiency' rating. This is the ratio between current strength level and potential strength level. Current strength level is, of course, the total of the current strength level of all your units. Potential strength is 10 * the number of units, some would say a fictional number as most combat assesses damage to both units. The 'efficiency' rating is a measure of how well a player maintains their troops' strength levels. Higher rating means the players troops are healthier when compared to other players ratings; having a higher current strength level does not necessarily equate to being stronger.

i'm keeping the current implementation. if i need to tweak i'll open a new NK Task

i think this will get interesting once graphing is implemented.

i have it released (i should probably mark it experimental) and i'm doing field research.

efficiency rating alone is not a good indicator of well or poorly a player is performing. i had to surrender. here's the final stats of the game:

is there a point where the efficiency rating is moot? or is there a level, a value, under which indicates a losing trend?
-

opponents affect your efficiency rating also. there might be another indicator to highlight one's ability to sustain combat - will have to think about that one.
-
mriffe added a comment about 3 years ago
thoughts on why a rating might change in one direction or another.
rating decreases: combat did not go well; didn't replace all lost troops
rating increases: combat went well (didn't suffer many losses); added troops exceeds combat losses
i need more analysis and research for this.

pushed an experimental implementation - doesn't take into account the state of the player. in my local testing i noticed that this 'rating' can change between turns.
-

the calculation of the rating should stop when the player ceases to play the game. the reason this matters is because a player can lose troops after they've left the game and continuing to calculate would skew their 'in-game' efficiency.

an efficiency rating of 100.00 will mean that player has not seen combat.
