The AlphaUI is in limbo, and its been years since I played FFA... Was the FFA control panel ever 100% completed in the current UI?

We have needed the bots to retal for years now. This server used to be about netgaining through war, politics and strategy between the clans and solo players. Playing your turns in some what of fear in the back of your mind if you have enough defense to defend itself after a day full of grabbing.

Warring does take too much time as well. Sitting and waiting for enough players to do KRs, or waiting around to be hit in IRC just doesnt fit with many lifestyles of players.

This server or Earth empires really should not be a "no hit" solo no interaction dead 100% number crunching no consequences server.

I have it installed on both my computer and my phone. sometimes I would play and forget to turn it off, or couldn’t turn it off because I was working at the time. Will I be blocked now too? I think using a VPN is part of life now. You need to reconsider the rules of the game. Something needs to be decided.


VPN use isnt the problem. VPN use + multiple game accounts for 1 person = the problem ;)

If you notice, you can use as many IPs as you want because ya know we travel, work, go to school, use mobiles, etc. This is like using a VPN. But if you cross paths with another game account with similar attributes that are too coincidental to ignore especially paired with other evidence, then that is when you have a problem.

So TLDR, if you have 1 game account and use a VPN... you should be all gravy baby and should have nothing to worry about.

Offensive/defensive allies can only send 25% of their available standing army. If something is PS'd away, then those forces arent available to you. Also if you only send jets on a SS for example, then your OA will only give you jets (troops or tanks from the OA arent sent for the SS). It's always best to ally someone with similar sized forces so that you get the full 25%.

Because Earth has always been a game of chance, strategy, and skill. Whether it be politically protecting your country to random events coded into the game or by players willing to land grab you randomly. That is why after all there is a bonus that has to do with Luck.

Hello!

I'm happy to report DR is now on the Ranks List and is also color coded on it and the countries page. I've adjusted the rounding to 3 places instead of 1. I've also massively improved database seek and write times by adding Indexes. Man its crazy how doing that improves load times and I just learned about it.

Enjoy!

I decided to attempt DR tonight. Here is an example. https://li.epicgamer.org/...y.php?cnum=408&snum=9

Thanks to AndrewMoose for making this possible by providing the equation. I grab the last 72 hours of defends. I used Dr = x*.5^(t/24) where x is 1 or . 5 depending on success or fail and t is the time in hours since the attack. So if a successful attack happened at 10pm, and its now 12am... T=2, x = 1.

For express I grab only 24 hours of defends, and changed the formula to Dr = x*.5^(t/8) to adjust for 8 hour half life.

I also ignore missile attacks, as tmac stated in another thread these do not contribute to DR.

I would like to add colors to the number to express severity. Would you say DR between 1-3 is green, 4-6 is yellow, and 7++ is red?

In the interim while Gains works on monetization via ads or malware to steal identity info to sell on the dark web I want to say thank you for investing your time and financial resources into the tool that we all use.

Having eestats back to hunt infidels in teams is great.

Thanks again and blessed be Gains, LaF and the great nation of the United States of America.


According to the posted message on eestats, it appears to me he transferred it to his homelab (which makes great sense IMO). So there really shouldnt be costs unless he solely only owns hardware just for eestats.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong here. I know the exact calculation depends on forces sent.... But those can't be known so an as approximation is necessary.


Thanks, I'll need to have a think on this.

No problem. Glad its liked! I spent all last night and I think I've gotten it to record only changes now to cut down the intake. Time will tell if performance will stay.

Also if you visit the site, and its empty... that just means its updating on the backend for 5 mins.

Although Earth News Central is not a complete EEstats replacement, and probably will never be... I will top this. I have had Market Central up and running for years as well which is in the Tools menu of ENC.

In regards to ENC, it is terribly slow looking through thousands of records of previous and current sets. I need to make it record only changes and not everything.

Also sorry for it being "down", but it technically wasn't. My ISP changed my IP recently so the DNS record just needed to be updated. I have always had two URLs, which is now posted in the OP as well.

Main thing I'd like to see is a way to view untaggeds by country number. I.e. typing "}2||}7" in the untagged list on eestats to sort out the techer bots.

99.999% of the reason for looking at a country list right now in the PvE format for the Clan GDI game in its current iteration is to find bots to farm. The easier you make that, the more I'll like the site.


Thats interesting. I wonder how that works.

Hello Earthers,

Throughout the years I have made attempts at creating another stats site for EE many times. Progress was always made, but I would eventually forget about it for a long time... causing me to forget where I was going with the coding and what the code even actually meant when trying to pick it up again. There was one time I actually lost all progress on a major effort because I wiped the server thinking it was included in my backups without double checking.

Once I read eestats.com was going offline it gave me motivation to finally complete my Earth: Empires suite of tools by creating Earth: Empires Stats! I started a couple weeks ago, and it has been fun racking my brain figuring out how to do things as a hobbyist coder. Although eestats.com is actually not going away I decided to complete a working version of it anyway. Some polish is still needed in some spots.

https://li.epicgamer.org/news/
https://li.servegame.com/news/

I haven't started the Top 10 Lists page because I want to ask if anyone thinks it is actually needed? Also, please let me know what you think in regards to if this site is actually useful and if you like it.

Thanks, and have a swirvey day!
