[Unofficial] Account Balance Calculation tool

[Elostirion]

Unofficial Account Balance Calculation tool (ABC-Tool)

What it does:

* Add your earnings / spendings to the database

* It calculates license-prices etc. based on game rules (e.g. 20% off on Commerce buildings for Eslandolans from April onwards)

* It calculates the revenue based on the game rules (e.g. Monopolies)

How to use it:

1. Register your account. I've kept it simple: No password, no email, no hard stuff. Just click register and you will get a 4-digit-PIN-code. Remember that one.

2. Add everything just like you did with Ska's forms: Freebuild-registration, properties, ships. Also add MRCA-results etc. Use "other" for anything that is not listed, e.g. duels.

-> Please note that some of your builds are already in my database (see last screenshot for Ska as an example). Use this to add them to your balance with 1-click.

3. Check your monthly balances. Easy.

Issues:

Just let me know in here or via PM. I will be glad to help out.

Awesome....using it now!

So...I take it the "minifig contest" and settlement income is under "other?"

a category for settlements (mayoral income/expenses) would probably be helpful....

Edit: Also...just noticed, it's charging Full property License costs for Sea Rats, instead of 50%....or did I miss clicking something?

Really? Sea Rats only pay 50% for their licenses? Really?

Wow, where can I sign up for YOUR nation?

Jokes aside, I didn't know that. Please confirm, I will then correct both the tool and your entries to the database.

All I could find in the rules searching for that right now was in the ship rules, that you pay full licenses for ships unlike for properties. I couldn't find anything in the property rules. So please give me a quick confirmation.

From what I understand....all Sea Rats Settlements are "Squatter settlements" and thus pay 50% for property licenses other than forts.

From the "Land in the EGS" thread: "Squatter colonies only pay half of a license fee, except in the case of forts (see below)."

From a post by KaiNRG in the Sea Rats thread (post 213): "It is there, under the squatter settlement section. Sea Rats always establish squatter settlements."

I have fixed the tool to half the license price for all Sea Rat properties (rounded up). So instead of 25 DBs it's 13 DBs now.

@Vedauwoo: I have also corrected all your licensing-fees in the database, could you please double-check and give me a quick note if something is still off?

I don't know if you need to have a free licence registration. I just put 25 and 100 db in other income to balance it out.

Yes.

But note that this is connected to where you build, not to who you are. A Sea Rat licensing a building in a Corrington settlement would pay 100%; and a Corrington licensing a building in a Sea Rat/Squatter settlement would pay 50% (and might also run into some trouble with the Queen!).

Looks good to me.....

I've tried to enter everything I've done, including my upcoming MRCA result builds (not yet posted), if anyone "in the know" wants to check my numbers against official records to see how well the tool is working....
