Decided i should create my own thread for this, considering its being constantly updated. Then i can dedicated the other thread to actual start help.

It allows you to set your Race/Goverment/Research Path/Construction Path and Population settings, it then will show you the all the relevent data about your strategy, including res/con completion times, resources at each tick.. etc.

Bugs:
Using construction upgrade bonus when its going to result in you being infra capped, can have some strange results.. Will be fixed soonish.
Upgrade Bonus is completly bugged at the moment. ETA Till Fix - Unknown
When setting your research path, if you change an earlier research which a later research relys on, it can bug out.. So check that your research paths are correct and you dont have for example 'Mining-2' without a Mining-1.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
