Yeah, I saw that and I was 1 of 7 people looking at it. And I'm disqualified because I'm still using the phonebook.

Also on a side note...
I just did a possible war target search for my king...
And one of the search criterias he was looking for was a lesser number of a particular race in target kd's...
Maybe that can be included for kd searches.

[DavidC]

That is a great idea Bob, would love to see a filter for the kingdom search to remove kds with certain races or only return if they contain certain races. Maybe one of the returned cells can be a list of races and number of provinces playing each?

Can our tool use 3rd party software, if said software is free?

Hola,

been working on something today. It is basically a kingdom finder like talked about above.

Features

• Kingdom Name
• Max Provinces
• Min/Max Networth
• Min/Max Acres
• Min/Max Honor
• Min War Wins
• Min/Max of specific race
• Cease Fire Filter

NOTE: These tools are working with the json dump provided by Utopia.

Thanks Darkmoore...
You were the 1st (maybe only one) one to share your finder after the data dump was announced, and now added a recommended feature.
Ive been using your finder since you shared it.

Hi,

just to be sure.. this is a kingdom finder :) not the province target finder..

Ya I caught that pretty quickly...
I just followed the exposed link and saw both finders (with ambush and draft calc)
Side note... can you add those links to the main header by the main exposed link?

[Darkmoore]

last post regarding eXposed.tf here from me :) I dont want to hijack the thread..

but the links are already on the main page..

Just PM me if you have other feedback or questions..

I'm definitely not savvy enough to build a website to do this stuff, but I did build a kingdom/province finder in a free Microsoft tool called Power BI. You can pay for a pro version and share it online, but the desktop version is free and works so long as you save the base file. You can manually refresh it as often as you'd like, and the data will be as current as the JSON update. If anyone wants to try it out DM me and I'll send you the file... but you'll have to download Power BI. (thus my question prior to this in the thread).

Looks like I don't have enough posts to post a picture ;) DM me if you want to check out the file.

I think the idea is to host it in-game, hence only js. It's kind of a shame as no historic data is available in the json file, so fancy things like previous stance / eow aren't possible.

[Darkmoore]

Not sure if this is something to check out... There seems to be a mismatch with the amount of provinces.

The Dump: 3283 provinces (timestamp: 2017-04-17 12:35:01.704193
Council Page: 3445 provinces

So 162 provinces are missing... Is there a good explanation for this?

[Nalesean]

@Yadda9To5 i'm pretty sure the intention is that it's only "live" data as opposed to historical. But if I was a little more sophisticated I could save a copy of the output every 15 minutes into a folder then use a tool like Power BI to build a teensy data warehouse with historical data. In fact that might be my project for the week...

The provided data does give you the option to make your own historical data thou.
