Data Methodology
How Kingshot Tools turns game values into calculator results, and how changes are reviewed.
What the Data Represents
The datasets record visible in-game costs, durations, level requirements, material conversions, and score values needed by each calculator. Community reports can point to a possible change, but they are treated as leads until the affected values can be checked.
Review Process
- Identify the exact building, troop, item, level, or event action.
- Compare the reported value with a current in-game screen or reproducible example.
- Update only the affected data rows or formula assumptions.
- Run calculation, localization, build, and representative visual checks before release.
Formulas and Buffs
Base values and player-entered modifiers are kept separate. This makes assumptions visible and prevents a construction, training, or research buff from silently changing unrelated costs. Rounding follows the behavior represented by each tool and is checked with known examples.
Known Limits
Game patches may arrive before the public tables are updated, and account-specific bonuses can differ. Calculator output is a planning estimate: confirm important actions in game, especially immediately after a patch.
Report a Possible Data Issue
Include the tool URL, the exact current and target levels, active buffs, the result you expected, and the patch context. A screenshot helps isolate whether the issue is a data row, an input assumption, or a rounding difference.
