Naval Fleet to counter all missions

Naval Fleet Questions & Answers:


Q: What's the purpose of the first fleet setup ?
A: Having the ability to clear ALL the missions on the board, without loosing a single ship.

Q: What's the purpose of the second fleet setup ?
A: Having the ability to clear Gold & Siege (Blockade) missions on the board with the maximum dwarven bonus possible while keeping success chances >=90%.

Q: How did you arrive to that setup ?
A: Small code I wrote, that simulates various fleets against known missions. It does 100k random fleets per hour and keeps looking for a better one. After about a million fleets, I took the best one it found, and further optimized it via another code.

Q: Which Cache missions difficulties does it take into account ?
A: All difficulties has the same chances with this setup, keep in mind that Fleet#2 wasn't designed to counter them, so don't use it if you care about those missions.

Q: Is this the best setup one can get ?
A: Most probably not, the amount of combinations available are around 15 digits long, I cannot/would not compute this on my poor modern home PC. but it's definitely "good enough".

Q: I don't see "The Awakener" there, WTF ?
A: IKR, I didn't believe it too at first, but apparently another Human/Panda ship is better. Tried argue with the code I wrote, but I didn't found a bug (yet).

Q: I see "Human" crews, Is this Alliance only ?
A: Fleets was optimized for Alliance missions for coding simplicity, but I did test them on Horde missions and it works about the same there, just replace the Alliance crews with the Horde crews (i.e Human -> Undead)
