New DO template

[DM B]

Hi,

I'm nearly done with the new spreadsheet DO - it will be available for download later today. Stay tuned to this thread.

The Excel sheet has a bit of automation to make your life easier (and mine!!!); more features will be added later.

Turn 66 is to be handed in the new format.

[DM B]

DM response to mails/posts is postponed until the DO template is ready.

[DM B]

New template added to this thread (top post).

Please use this thread for feedback. More functions will be added later, so focus on finding any glaring errors.

Note that from Turn #67 there will be NO MORE SECRETS UPDATES. Instead everything will be incorporated in the DO. Easier for me, easier for you.

New feature:

- GB cost from Army mustering etc. will now be subject to Admin by the character whose specialty this is, instead of just lumping everything with the chancellor.

- This should make the other Admin posts more attractive.

- Skill Mastery of Unskilled has now been split into; Untrained and Proficient.

Any chance of uploading it in a zip-file? The hospital is not exactly fond of applications such as unrar etc.

That looks really sweet. It certainly makes stuff easier for someone as bad with numbers as myself. And I love how you've made it so that when I change the turn number, it automatically updates season and year! Awesome!

[X-Medoere & RCS/KE (Thorsten)]

Oh and all the actions are already listed in the drag-able boxes. Schweet!

I know. No more confusing which Season it is.

I think the army upkeep part is especially time-saving.

I'll expand more on that later to automatically fill out things like base cost etc. And limit AAs to Character actions etc.

Problem with assets, P&H etc: Can't choose blank as a unit, so not able to remove the Alamier upkeep for army and such.

[DM B]

Easy fix; but I can't access the ftp right now, so attachments won't upload.

[X-Medoere & RCS/KE (Thorsten)]

What's your intention with the magic-portion of the DO?

[DM B]

List for spells; allow magic-users to select spells known/prepared from drop-down menus etc.

Allow tracking of ley lines (maybe a map-overlay-type-thingy)

[DM B]

There will also be a War-sheet.

Here you can drag-and-drop your units into armies/fleet, even arrange them into echelons etc.

But that is for the future.
