Hi Dave.

I posted this here because I keep getting posting errors on the Strategy page!

I need your input.

With regards to my Sandbox14g page I have now written the code to add a weighting-factor to each series-completion entry for the current series and then sort the entries based on the weighting-factor to return the "best" upgrade-strategy for each series BUT this is very subjective as there are a lot of factors and I don't know how much weight each factor should have.

I have now created Sandbox14h using the following weighting factors ...
 * Gold = 1 point per Gold coin
 * Cash = 1 point per R$10,000
 * PR = 10 points per PR point
 * Subsequent required/mandatory entries = 100 points per entry
 * Subsequent series-completion entries = 100 points per entry

But this is all very subjective. For example ...


 * I can see that it might be better for the Gold/Cash weightings to be a fraction of the cheapest entry in the series rather than the difference.

It already seems to work better, for example ... However, it looks like I've found a couple "bugs", things I need to check ...
 * V8 Naturuals. The Cobra is now the "best" entry because, even though it is more expensive to upgrade than the Lexus, it can be used to complete subsequent series.
 * Hybrid Hypercar Clash and Concept Car Clash. Your Lamborghini Asterion is now considered "best" because it appears in subsequent series. And it's also best in Tour Del Toro because it was already upgraded for Concept Car Clash

What do you think?
 * All Star Vendetta. The Lamborghini Aventador is now considered "best" because of the higher PR. But the car can't complete any subsequent series so that might need changing. And, more to the point, I can't work out why it was upgraded (from Battle Italia) when it alrready had sufficient PR to complete the series ... I might have found a bug!
 * Endurance Champions. Why is the Porsche considered to be better than the Audi?

Please let me know your thoughts on the weighting factors.

Thanks,

Nick
