"Total Game Report" Option - For Statistical Purpose
-
On the issue of Luck... Years ago I spoke with Veqyrn, requesting a Hit-Handicap system. Instead, Veqryn developed us just getting a raw dice report, which is fine, better than nothing, and it did dissuade many dice complainers which was the goal; but I still firmly believe in getting a statistic that can show us the game total "luck" handicap.
So it's time to move to the next level, I have developed a parser for reviewing TripleA game text; from that text it can tell me what nations, got how many hits, vs how many hits they would have had statistically. The results have been awesome - I can now see how my luck handicap is going through the length of a game, and if I've really been lucky, or unlucky, and how my opponent has been. It ends alot of complaining.
The "End Turn reports" already exist, and are an excellent tool. Instead of me manually copy/pasting dozens of posts to get the large text file we need, can we just get an "Total Turn Report" text report? that is simply a text file of ALL of the turns?
Then I can run the parser, and see, wow I am -38 hits, and my opponent is +50 hits, meeting our "luck" differential, or Hit-Handicap is 88 hits to my opponent.
-
@gargantua Can you provide an example of what you've been copy/pasting from each turn? Also if you have a sample of the output that your parser is generating that would be interesting to see. If its pretty simple or written in Java then we could consider adding it directly to TripleA as well.
-
What I have right now produces output of this form:
('Germans', [('1', 'submarine')], '0/1 hits')
('Germans', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'bomber'), ('1', 'fighter'), ('1', 'tactical_bomber')], '1/4 hits')
('British', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'cruiser'), ('1', 'destroyer'), ('1', 'fighter')], '3/4 hits')
('Germans', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'bomber'), ('1', 'tactical_bomber')], '3/3 hits')
('British', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'cruiser'), ('1', 'destroyer'), ('1', 'fighter')], '2/4 hits')
('Germans', 'British')
from the description "Battle in Yugoslavia [...]"So I can basically just assign a handicap to each roll, sum it up for each country, and then keep a list of Axis/Allied countries and sum based on that
-
I just want to share the vision here.
Imagine you've had a hell of a game against the toughest opponent you've ever faced... you barely squeak out the win, and are about to celebrate victory, but your opponent cuts you off a the knees with "Bah it was just bad luck".
Using a Hit-Handicap system, that weighs the entirety of a games rolls, IE how many hits you got, vs how many hits you should have statistically got, will give you a hit handicap. In a perfect world, Each player should have a handicap of 0.
But what I'm finding is that the Hit Handicap can vary wildly, and it can help explain some things. So in our example above, lets say we crunched that game, and I was lucky, my HH was +6 and my opponents was -4. I can then say well the hit handicap was only 10, really not that big of a deal. But if the hit handicap was +29 and -44 well yeah, for sure.
Players can then also judge their skill level against a repeat opponent, I tend to beat so-and-so when the hit handicap reaches X value; that kind of thing. Also, for league or championship play, ridiculous hit handicaps could then be mitigated. IE if you end up with a HH of greater than 50, you earn one free reroll, or LL battle, or whatever everyone can agree to.

@gargantua Ok, so you are copy/pasting the battle summaries out of each PBF post. So to create your example above you are taking something like this:
Battle in Irkutsk Japan attack with 3 japaneseMech.Infantrys and 4 japaneseTanks Russia defend with 1 Flagpole, 1 russianAirfield, 1 russianBarracks and 7 russianInfantrys Japan roll dice for 3 japaneseMech.Infantrys and 4 japaneseTanks in Irkutsk, round 2 : 3/1 hits Russia roll dice for 7 russianInfantrys in Irkutsk, round 2 : 3/1 hits 3 russianInfantrys owned by the Russia and 3 japaneseMech.Infantrys owned by the Japan lost in Irkutsk Japan roll dice for 4 japaneseTanks in Irkutsk, round 3 : 2/1 hits Russia roll dice for 4 russianInfantrys in Irkutsk, round 3 : 1/1 hits 2 russianInfantrys owned by the Russia and 1 japaneseTank owned by the Japan lost in Irkutsk Japan roll dice for 3 japaneseTanks in Irkutsk, round 4 : 1/1 hits Russia roll dice for 2 russianInfantrys in Irkutsk, round 4 : 1/1 hits 1 russianInfantry owned by the Russia and 1 japaneseTank owned by the Japan lost in Irkutsk Japan roll dice for 2 japaneseTanks in Irkutsk, round 5 : 1/1 hits Russia roll dice for 1 russianInfantry in Irkutsk, round 5 : 0/1 hits 1 russianInfantry owned by the Russia lost in IrkutskParsing it into:
('Germans', [('1', 'submarine')], '0/1 hits') ('Germans', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'bomber'), ('1', 'fighter'), ('1', 'tactical_bomber')], '1/4 hits') ('British', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'cruiser'), ('1', 'destroyer'), ('1', 'fighter')], '3/4 hits') ('Germans', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'bomber'), ('1', 'tactical_bomber')], '3/3 hits') ('British', [('1', 'battleship'), ('1', 'cruiser'), ('1', 'destroyer'), ('1', 'fighter')], '2/4 hits') ('Germans', 'British') from the description "Battle in Yugoslavia [...]Then I'm guessing you are parsing that to determine how many hits the Germans and British each should have gotten in that battle. So you end up with something like Germans got 4 hits and should have got say 3.5 hits. Then you add up all battles across all turns to get actual hits vs expected hits for each nation.
If that is the case, then if all you want is an export of all the battles across all turns then that is already available. If you open game history and right click at the very top node on "Game History" and select "Show Detailed Log" then you get the entire history of the game that shows all the battle results and hits.
We could look to add your parser logic into TripleA so that the information is available in game rather than having to export and use a separate parser.

@redrum Awesome! Thanks! I thought the info had to be there somewhere!

My Parser is broken at the moment, but that's exaclty the feature I would like if possible. IT would end alot of complaints and disputes! and would be a fun trend to review.
What can I donate to see this coded into the game?

@gargantua So decided to spend a little time seeing what it would take to add this. I added an expected hits per dice roll line and then a summary of the turn per nation at the end. Here is an example of what I have so far:
Combat - Russians Battle in Ukraine S.S.R. Russians attack with 3 armour, 1 artillery, 2 fighters and 3 infantry Germans defend with 1 armour, 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 3 infantry Russians roll dice for 3 armour, 1 artillery, 2 fighters and 3 infantry in Ukraine S.S.R., round 2 : 4/9 hits, expectedHits=3.50 Germans roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 3 infantry in Ukraine S.S.R., round 2 : 4/6 hits, expectedHits=2.50 3 infantry owned by the Russians, 1 artillery owned by the Germans, 1 artillery owned by the Russians and 3 infantry owned by the Germans lost in Ukraine S.S.R. Russians roll dice for 3 armour and 2 fighters in Ukraine S.S.R., round 3 : 3/5 hits, expectedHits=2.50 Germans roll dice for 1 armour and 1 fighter in Ukraine S.S.R., round 3 : 2/2 hits, expectedHits=1.17 2 armour owned by the Russians, 1 fighter owned by the Germans and 1 armour owned by the Germans lost in Ukraine S.S.R. Russians win, taking Ukraine S.S.R. from Germans with 1 armour and 2 fighters remaining. Battle score for attacker is 5 Casualties for Germans: 1 armour, 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 3 infantry Casualties for Russians: 2 armour, 1 artillery and 3 infantry Battle in West Russia Russians attack with 1 armour, 1 artillery and 8 infantry Germans defend with 1 armour, 1 artillery and 3 infantry Russians roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery and 8 infantry in West Russia, round 2 : 2/10 hits, expectedHits=2.33 Germans roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery and 3 infantry in West Russia, round 2 : 2/5 hits, expectedHits=1.83 2 infantry owned by the Russians and 2 infantry owned by the Germans lost in West Russia Russians roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery and 6 infantry in West Russia, round 3 : 1/8 hits, expectedHits=2.00 Germans roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery and 1 infantry in West Russia, round 3 : 1/3 hits, expectedHits=1.17 1 infantry owned by the Russians and 1 infantry owned by the Germans lost in West Russia Russians roll dice for 1 armour, 1 artillery and 5 infantry in West Russia, round 4 : 4/7 hits, expectedHits=1.83 Germans roll dice for 1 armour and 1 artillery in West Russia, round 4 : 1/2 hits, expectedHits=0.83 1 infantry owned by the Russians, 1 artillery owned by the Germans and 1 armour owned by the Germans lost in West Russia Russians win, taking West Russia from Germans with 1 armour, 1 artillery and 4 infantry remaining. Battle score for attacker is 6 Casualties for Germans: 1 armour, 1 artillery and 3 infantry Casualties for Russians: 4 infantry Non Combat Move - Russians 2 infantry moved from Novosibirsk to Russia 2 infantry moved from Evenki National Okrug to Russia 2 infantry moved from Kazakh S.S.R. to Caucasus 2 fighters moved from Ukraine S.S.R. to Caucasus 1 infantry moved from Buryatia S.S.R. to Yakut S.S.R. 2 infantry moved from Soviet Far East to Yakut S.S.R. 2 infantry moved from Yakut S.S.R. to Novosibirsk 1 submarine moved from 4 Sea Zone to 2 Sea Zone Place Units - Russians 1 infantry placed in Caucasus 1 infantry placed in Caucasus 1 artillery placed in Caucasus 1 infantry placed in Caucasus 1 artillery placed in Russia 1 infantry placed in Russia 1 artillery placed in Russia Turn Complete - Russians Russians collect 29 PUs; end with 29 PUs Research Technology - Germans Combat Hit Differential Summary : Germans : 2.50 Russians : 1.83In this revised example, you can see both Russia and Germany had slightly above average luck turn 1 with Germany having a very slight edge.
-
WOW! That's exactly what I was hoping for! Nicely done! Any chance we could get this formally added to the game? and could the tabulation be continual over the entire game duration? not reset after each post?
Having it split by nation would be awesome too... looks like you've already done that. The truth about crappy Italian performance will finally be revealed!
-
@gargantua Red is Zeus!
-
@gargantua Yeah, they are divided by nation. A total for the game could be added as well but most likely would be added somewhere else not in the individual turn summary as it is focused on just that particular turn. There is a menu option "Game" -> "Show Dice Stats" which shows total dice stats for the player's current session (not across save/load). I'd like to eventually change that to be the entire game (across save/load) and include more statistics like Hit Differential. It would also be nice to eventually have some graphs and such that show statistics for nations across turns (production, TUV, etc).
Edit: The changes I showed above displaying expected hits per turn will become part of the next release unless any issues are found with them.
-
Yes!!! All of that sounds perfect. Let me know what I can do to help!
-
The initial changes to add hit differential to each dice roll line and as a turn summary per nation will be included in this PR: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/2807
closed Add Hit Differential Detail #2807
-
@Gargantua You can check out the initial changes that add the hit differential info per turn in the latest pre-release here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
I've added the remaining portions of this request for a total game statistics to the feature request list as well: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/182/guidelines-and-feature-request-list
-
So I just tested this out on the pre-release; somethings not right.
It lists every battle as expected hits 0.00?
Maybe it's because I loaded an old save game and I can only tabulate once I have a new game going forward?
I would attach the save file but I don't have priviledges yet. it's game 41042 at Axisandallies.org
-
@gargantua Ah, I forgot to mention that it will only work for new games as old save games don't have all the data fields in the proper places for the calculations.
-
Understood Commander Murder.
-
@redrum
It would be awesome to have the "Combat Hit Differential Summary: " displayed with the "Battle casualty summary:" for each battle in the history tab (on right). Currently it displays TUV change and casualties only.This would be instant validation of how a battle really went and would alleviate the mostly false complaining about rolls.
And then from there one can go look at the detailed summary in actual detailed history display (on left) if they want see exactly what caused the differentials.
A bonus feature could be to have a link button at the bottom of "Battle casualty summary:" (on right) to take player to the exact location of the detailed history (on left).
-
@general_zod So far I've added it to each dice roll battle line and in the end of turn summary. Could consider adding it per battle as well but figure I'll let people test it out first to see what they think.
