I’ve been working on a feature on my site that will allow you to track your collection online (ascension of your troops, levels, unlocked traits) and will give you a checklist of what’s left to do, similar to the great ToDo Monitor but via an adaptive web interface, which is handy for those playing on the go. It also will update the troop list and traitstone costs automatically as I import data from the game into the site.
The feature is in an early stage but I need people to help me test it, as it’s a lot more complex than the static pages that I’ve made thus far. (One implication of such a feature is that it requires per-user data, so I’ve had to implement a login system, for example.) If you are interested in helping test this feature, which could mean entering your data more than once as I discover and hammer out bugs, please leave a comment below. Once I’ve got enough people, and I feel like things are stable enough to get started, I’ll send a PM to anyone who’s replied.
Will this share data with the ashtender database? I think it would be cool for example if the troop table showed a visual difference for traits I haven’t unlocked yet; or a troop’s stat page could reflect how far I’ve ascended and leveled it.
Will that sort of thing be conceptually possible (even if not implemented right away)? Or will this system be completely separate from the existing version of your site?
As currently implemented, it should be quite easily possible for me to include user data into the existing pages. That wouldn’t be in the initial release, but I could enable a mode that will cross-reference your actual collection when browsing the database:
Gray out traits you don’t have
Gray out troops you don’t have
Show stats appropriate for the level and ascension you have unlocked in team view and on the troops decals
Constrain suggestions to troops you have when team building
Show unlocked kingdom power levels in the kingdom list and table pages
It’d be an optional mode though since often you want to see the troops at their potential, but it’s definitely something I could easily enable if the feature actually sees adoption.
Does it have to be mobile or are we talking console also? Sorry if already answered. If console, I’m to the point where I’d like to see what’s left for me to do and I’d help.
