Overview
User Story: As a player, I want to understand how effective harassment is against an enemy base.
This feature is inspired by a math equation that was being shared on the IGP Discord between skilled and pro players.
Question
Are there other math calculations clients crave to explain certain aspects of the game?
What else does this Harass Calculator page need, besides just this damage calculator?
Should you also be able to enter the units you plan to harass with, to determine the initial cost investment, and what one must make to get out of it?
Shouldn't the act of destroying Ether Extractors and Town Halls also be considered?
Also, the calculator damage isn't instant. It's a resource loss that occurs over time when compared to a pre-existing delta. So should the calculator also indicate when the full effect of the alloy loss has occurred?
