CW2 Unit Data Overview

[UpperKEES]

I thought it would be nice to have an overview of all CW2 unit data:

* For makers the fire range upgrade increases the burst tank capacity.

From the above tables the following information can be deducted:

Number of fire rate upgrades	Max. damage/sec 0 / 1 / 2 / 3	Max. energy usage/sec 0 / 1 / 2 / 3	Max. damage / unit of energy 0 / 1 / 2 / 3
Blaster	552,000 / 690,000 / 920,000 / 1,380,000	0.6 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.5	920,000

Launcher	3,833,333 / 4,312,500 / 4,928,571 / 5,750,000	1 / 1.13 / 1.29 / 1.5	3,833,333

* This is without taking the +10% ore rig efficiency upgrades into account. The energy usage is the usage by the amount of rigs needed for max. output.
** With all 5 ore rig efficiency upgrades the max. maker damage per unit of energy is 750,000.

Add health data?

I thought it would be nice to have an overview of all unit data. Maybe Virgil can provide some more info, but we can also fill in the blanks by ourselves, so please post if you found some interesting data and I will update the tables. Later on I will mark data green when it has been verified or when the info was supplied by Virgil.

Thanks, indeed forgot that for the weapons.

@mthw2vc:
Thanks! :)
- I'd like the firing rate in shots per second, so I'll have to convert your data. I found (just by timing) 3 shots/sec for a blaster and 1 shot per 3 sec for a laucher (with 0 upgrades). For the blaster we seem to have quite different data....
- Is the 75 shield health the old or the new value?
- Is the maker damage at 1x or at 4x?

[knucracker]

Packet speed starts at 4 pixels per second.  Each tech upgrade adds 1 pixel per second.

The fire interval for a blaster is 10 frames.  For a launcher it is 90 frames.  Each fire speed tech upgrade decreasse the fire interval by 2 frames per blaster and 10 frame per launcher.

[mthw2vc]

It doesn't appear to me that packets are traveling 4 pixels every second... Those must be really big pixels! :P

[UpperKEES]

Thanks Virgil, that really helps! :)

Mthw2vc, aren't the blaster & launcher damage totals done to a maximum of 49 (7x7) subcells? See here.

A subcell is 8x8 native pixels (see same link), so these are larger when you enlarge your window I guess.

Edit: hmmm, after testing it seems to take 6 seconds for a packet to travel 10 cells (= 240 pixels) at default speed. That would be 40 pixels per second. Could that be right? Or 4 pixels per 3 frames?

[mthw2vc]

Thanks Virgil, that really helps! :)

mthw2vc, aren't the blaster & launcher damage totals done to a maximum of 49 (7x7) subcells? See here.

50 if it hits the center subcell twice. I originally thought they caused twice as much damage because I was only meausuring one subcell.

Okay, so that's similar to CW1. But the numbers are still totals, right? 4000 for a blaster and 250000 for a launcher.

[mthw2vc]

4000 and 250000 per subcell, so 200K and 12.5M total, given ideal circumstances.

[knucracker]

Uh hmm... Yes  big pixels indeed :)

That should be 4 per frame (or 120 native pixels per second).  Which would be 5 cells per second.

Wow, that's a lot! :o

Hmmm, I guess there's something wrong with my timing.... I'm glad you provide it! :)

[knucracker]

I just looked at one line of code (that had a 4 on it:) )  It might do to double check by pausing the game right when the clock ticks.  Then build something 25 cells away (in a straight line, on the same row), and see if it takes 5 seconds for a packet to get there.

[UpperKEES]

No, you are right. It's just getting late here.... ;)

Map. editor. now. please.
