The justification is that it makes it easier for new players. Good or bad?

Looking at that screenshot, it doesn't seem like it calculates what you ought to send. It just lets you know the total value of the units you are sending.

It's not saying "attack with X units to break" it's saying "The units you've selected are worth X points". It's just making game mechanics more transparent. I think that's generally a good thing in games.

It calculates exactly how much you're sending. it factors in all the bonuses and penalties you have affecting your province. So if you calc a 30k break or something, you can just mash numbers in until it shows 30k, heh..

not a *bad* idea; you'd still need to know what to send vs somebody else

Finally did the signature thing.

last time i played utopia, atleast 4 years ago, there were attack calculators all over the place on 3rd party sites. the units and bonuses were more complex. so it appears that the admins just passed the 3rd party and put them ingame. not a big deal imo, and not something earth needs.

you cant make 3 calculations to find a earth break you done need to be playing imo.
