Mana counter / round simulator
« on: September 29, 2014, 08:55:51 AM »
Has anybody ever succeeded in creating an easy digitalized way (excel or else) to calculate / simulate mana spending round by round ? i've tried this many times in excel, but there are so many things to include...spawnpoints, rings that decrease mana cost, harmonize etc...this makes it hard to standardize calculation...

Same as you, i tried many times to create something which would help me to plan my openings but each time, results of my work was excel sheet which was more a support tool than smart application :)

At the end, paper and pencil was better sword and shield than excel sheet :)

Some things will be pretty complicated to get in excel.

Such as a wizard with arcane ring casting a mana flower and a harmonize in he same round - but not revealling hte harmonize before nexct round before channeling in order to get 2 x discount.

When that it is said... i would love to use such tool if somebody created it.
