Return on Investment stats for attacks

[OldManOnTheMountain]

I would like to see a return on investment and/or profit/(loss) calculation on the summary after an attack to help determine if an attack was truly successful.

For example, if I receive 100,000 elixir after an attack with 100% damage, but use 5 dragons (at a cost of 25,000 elixir each), the attack is not really a victory because it had a net cost of 25,000 elixir. (5 dragons x 25k = -125,000 + 100,000 = -25,000).

Ths calculation should take into account the training value of the army, cost of spells, and the cost of searching for the right opponent.

not a bad idea actually.

This would be good

This could also be expanded into daily/weekly calculations, which would need to include harvesting the resources and the resources lost when your base is attacked. Here, I am thinking about a simple table, something along the lines of:

		today				yesterday				season to date
		gold	elixir	dark elixir		gold	elixir	dark elixir		gold	elixir	dark elixir
resources taken		163,540	117,965	250		525,000	375,000	750		1,575,000	1,125,000	2,250
army cost		-	(87,440)	-		-	(225,000)	(350)		-	(675,000)	(1,050)
spell cost		(67,000)	-	-		(201,000)	-	-		(603,000)	-	-
attack search (10)		(3,800)				(11,400)	-	-		(34,200)	-	-
attack result		92,740	30,525	250		312,600	150,000	400		937,800	450,000	1,200
resources harvested		15,000	15,000	200		75,000	75,000	1,000		225,000	225,000	3,000
resources lost (defense)		(70,329)	(117,240)	-		(250,000)	(125,000)	(400)		(750,000)	(375,000)	(1,200)
net result		37,411	(71,715)	450		137,600	100,000	1,000		412,800	300,000	3,000

The idea is to highlight the cost of training an army or other strengths/weaknesses (e.g., poor defenses).

Here is what I am thinking for a post-attack summary (actual data from my last attack):

		gold	elixir	dark elixir
resources taken		163,540	117,965	250
army cost		-	(87,440)	-
spell cost		(67,000)	-	-
attack search (10)		(3,800)
net result		92,740	30,525	250

This could then be expanded to show more detail about the army/spells expenses:

				gold	elixir	dark elixir
resources taken				163,540	117,965	250
army unit	# used	unit cost
barbarians	29	80			(2,320)
archers	20	160			(3,200)
goblins	24	80			(1,920)
giants	13	2,000			(26,000)
wall breakers	6	2,500			(15,000)
wizards	8	3,000			(24,000)
healers	2	6,000			(12,000)
balloons	1	3,000			(3,000)
army cost				-	(87,440)	-
spells used
healing	2	20,000		(40,000)	-	-
rage	1	27,000		(27,000)	-	-
spell cost				(67,000)	-	-
attack search (10)				(3,800)
net result				92,740	30,525	250

Oh, I forgot to include gold and elixir attack bonuses on the post-attack recap. Also, on the daily/weekly/season summary it should include the elixir value of units donated and received.

It would be good to know how you are doing since the log is short. Optimally there would be average stats for those of your town hall and you could compare yourself against the average. It would be great to see how your defense is faring vs others of your level as well, not just attacks. For instance, average loss per battle, average defeat percentage. The stats could show for last xx days and cumulative to date.

Thats not a bad idea tbh, but some of those massive calculations would just make the game look a bit too mathematical and 'nerdy'-but i would quite like a small overview.
Perhaps army train time would be another cool feature.

[ClasherOfClans]

Small overview better like next to the gold achived it would say next to it the profit. Like VICTORY!

Loot Won:

800,000 GOLD - 398,000 GOLD

No calculations, COC is a strategy game, not a mathematical one.

If you don't know how much ur army costs and u attack and get less elixir than it costs to make ur army just know it was a fail - no need to complicate the game or ask Supercell to do silly little things that you should already know how to calculate. its simple math. If u want to know how much gold you've won/lost look at the amount of gold u have before finding an attack and then after the attack is ur gold now higher or lower? Duh.. i don't see any real benefit adding this to the game
