[Tool] Mapmaker's friend: Bonus Calculator 1.1

[natty dread]

This is a very simple mapmaking tool - it 's a small windows application which calculates a bonus value for a bonus area.

The calculator uses the base formula from Widowmakers' bonus spreadsheet although with some extra modifiers. Extra options may be added in future releases.

Sorry for being Mister Negative all over the place, but the spreadsheet already does exactly the same thing as this, and more. One of the nice things about having everything in the spreadsheet form is that you can change the multipliers around to reflect different styles of gameplay. The spreadsheet also lets you keep track of multiple continents and compare them at a glance.

If you want to try to improve the spreadsheet, you might try to find some good default multipliers for new values, like number of territories and continents bombarded by the region, or number of auto-deploy troops on the inside and on the border of the region.

Works like a charm, though. Good job.

Well the purpose for this was to provide a convenient mini-tool to offer the same functionality as the spreadsheet... but without having to start a spreadsheet software just to calculate a few bonuses... and this has a small window so you can view the map on background...

I could look into adding features though.

Anyway, the main point... the program works ok for you?

This is a tool for mapmakers to calculate bonus values for their continents. Sorry, I guess I should have clarified that.
