Warhammer II talent/skill calculator

[qoohenqoo]

When I first got into Warhammer I wanted to look at specific lords/legendary lords but found it annoying the only place to find the info was ingame.

This is my solution:

Right now I was thinking I'd update and fix the issues when 3 comes out. Really I need to find the time to (or someone needs to help me) create a script that compiles all skill data. That is 90% of the work at this state.

Two quick questions.
1. Some of the races are greyed out and I'm unable to plan the skill trees of any of their Legendary Lords or regular generals, how do I fix this?
2. (This question is just out of curiosity) Once Warhammer 3 comes out, which chaos god are you planning to make skill trees for first?

Did you shut it down? TBH I have never seen the website working. It has always rendered empty pages. I guess I should create a new one.

Yeah, it kind of looks like it. It's been down for months, and I don't know how to reach the owners. Mind, when it did work it worked very well, albeit badly incomplete. I would like to see the project continued, but I don't know if it will be.

If you do end up making a new one, do drop a link, will you?

Sure, that's the idea. But there is a lot of work to be done for it.

Here it is: twwh-chars.com

Currently you can only view skills and initial stats of lords and heroes. Many features to come, including calculator.

Ah, excellent! I will certainly keep this in mind. I would ask, though, that you add a popup explaining what a given skill does when you mouse over it, as well as the names and/or classes of characters.

I appreciate your feedback. All dynamic features will be added in the next iteration after I transform the site into a Single Page Application. Tooltips is one of those features.

Very good. :) I would furthermore like to request that the list of factions be sorted by either race or alphabetically. Preferably toggleable, but either would work. As is, the list is kind of confusing.

Hey there, I added sorting by race and alphabet as you requested. The default sorting is by race.

Excellent. I still think that the list is a bit confusing since there is no indication other than the faction names of where a given race begins or ends. Perhaps you could... index them by row to make it easier to read or something?

I mean, the original calcsite sorted characters by race, with a master list that makes it very easy to tell where to find whatever character you're looking for. Yours isn't quite as readable, if that makes sense.

For me it's the opposite, I see all factions on the screen and just select the needed. But I see, it may not work so well for small screens, because all factions don't fit on the screen, or when the user doesn't know all factions by the flag and would need to use browser's search function or go through all of them sequentially. So you would rather have an additional step of selecting a race?
I think, I need more opinions on that before I change it.

Yeah, something like that. Understandable.

But this could be done with some kind of a visual marker, thus without requiring an additional step of selecting a race. I'm just not sure what would be a good way to do it.

Me either, unfortunately. I don't know interface design.

Though one thought that came to me was to have every faction of a given race on its own line or row, which might make it more readable.
