First let me make this clear MY computer is old, very OLD, I’m still running XP and I’m running Microsoft Office 2002.
In Times past some of the players have taken it upon themselves to create playing aides for Takamo.
There was the Data Input File a very good program I think it was a Microsoft Access file. I do not remember who made it. In it you entered your data, Planets Explored and it would sort them out for you by owner, compatibility with your A&H etc. It also kept track of empires you found, allied or declared war on, and more. I have a very old copy of it but it does not have all the functions of a later updated file. My M.S.Office program is also very old so I can not run anything made with any M.S.Office above 2002 and the full version is a 2007 I think.
There are also several Path Calculators out there the one I have works with my system but I was told newer systems have problems running it.
I myself have made several Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to...
(should work with M.S. Excel 2002 or newer)
#1. for Galactic Mapping. This spreadsheet is a little labor intensive but basically you put in your Sector Probe Info on the appropriate worksheet (tab) and it makes a visual map of the galaxy.
#2 Turn Worksheet. You can keep track of Tax Income, Trade Income, Base Income, what you spend on builds and research. what’s in your Fleets and of course working out your turn. It tells you what you’ve done and what you built so it cuts down on errors (there will still be errors when you transfer that info to the Input Editor on the web sight there always are LOL)
#3. Sector Maps this is sort of like the Galactic map and you can copy and past from one to the other the visual part of the map but here you can enter planets found and their info.
As long as it’s OK with Randy I will share any and all I have (but only blanks, you have to fill in your info. I’m not sharing what I’ve Mapped LOL unless we’re allies) and I will not guarantee that it will work with your system. Not knowing what your system is. One More Thing I ask that you do not remove or change the Cover Tab in any of the spreadsheets I’ve made especially if you share them with other players and allies and they are always to be shared free. These were made as Game Aides to help players in Takamo.
If anyone has old or new playing aides, I would like to know about them, I’m always open for something new or even old to help play Takamo (love this game)
