Utopia Tools: Check these out!

[maul]

with the amount of us using android now to play from phones at work or while out not having tools in android is becoming a pain for more and more of us.
somebody could probably make some money making one that worked

@Eus: Have you considered a VM test environment for mac? I don't have a mac either, but I have kingdom mates that do and I know a tool like this would be useful. Obviously angel will not be moving in that direction ever, so the thuoght another tool might is enticing.

I have 0 problems working with another developer on tools. If you have an idea you think would benefit the community that you'd like to work on, please feel free to contact me and we can put heads together. I equally have no problem hosting other developers tools on AR. For example, Munks Province Simulator, and soon his target finder. If Seraphim could send Kingdom pages, we could set up any seraphim users to auto-post data to the TF, although I am currently writing a firefox extension for this already. I guess extensions are where it's at these days xD. In any case, this would still be useful, imo.

My issue with UpoopU was that it was not as easy (if it was possible at all) to track ops like you can easily do on Pimp. I couldn't tell who was contributing to fireballs, NS, and things like that.

Before upoop's last site update, you used to be able to track ops. Set it to go back "100 hrs" and compile all data on "XX:XX"

Would show a breakdown of each prov and tell you how many times they cast X spell.
Worked for ops and intel.

Dont know why they dropped that feature with the new update. Perhaps it was underused, perhaps it was sort of to hidden for many ppl to find/use easily. (hint hint)

Kewl I didn't know Alliance Rankings got back up and running! I checked into that site about a year ago when I made my 4th comeback to Utopia only to find it closed down. Happy to hear they got it going again...gonna have to go check it out now.

The problem with the macs is that it requires special hardware, thus it requires more of the virtual machine. I tried installing regular mac and a Hackintosh, but both ended up just before the installation. I don't really have the time at the moment to try it once again, but I do have something in mind for the future.

I wish to second that, Trying to attack from a phone is a PITA at best, a bounce at worst.
A SoT, and SoM formater, with attack calculator would be a big step up, If you had something like Pimp and Angel that worked on the Droid would be awesome. A iPhone version as well and most Utopia players would be covered when they couldn't get to a real computer.

You need none of those.

Get a som.
Enter def on war room.
attack.

Whyever would you need a tool to do that?

[holmesmalone]

from the Android you can't go back in your browser so you have to remember that som perfectly the first time you look at it.

[Bishop]

Just copy the text or remember the number then - the SoM will have the exact defense on it if you send 10% of your thieves.

[squazzie]

So all that needs to be factored is town watch and random 3% factor?
Thanks for a response in advance

[Bishop]

TW is already factored in - everything is except the random factor. Sending the same offense as their defence is about an 85% success chance, 4% over is pretty much 100%.

It's not so much about need, but there are a number of usability enhancements that are nice - especially with utools (coloring the KD page based on relative nw, listing active spells on throne and mystics page, etc) - that simply make playing the game easier and more enjoyable. Also the planning utilities in angel and utools are nice. Integrating these sorts of features into the game would certainly improve player experience.

You really don't even need angel anymore to attack.... as long as you have accurate intel. I can't tell you the last time I've actually used angel to calc an attack.

You have a calculator.. that's all you really need. It's not like you're playing WoW or CoD where the color etc actually makes a difference in your ability to play.

i dont use any attack calculator. that and building are quite easy to do manually.

my kingdom uses www.utopiashrimp.com. same login info as pimp. pimp failed us during two wars last age. shrimp has proved more reliable for us.

awesome. time to kick some a$$e$ in alliance ranking arcade :-D
