Chinese version (thanks to huchang47)
Known issues:

Addon may contain other bugs, so I recommend to sent you troops if their remaining HP > 10% of total.
The addon currently does not support level 60 companions.
Because they have no more xp to gain, it assumes they will gain a level at the end of any mission. This makes the addon think they will also be at max hp at the end of the mission regardless of any damage taken, messing up the calculations for how much dmg your companions will take and the Optimize button.
I was able to fix this by going to the Board.lua file and changing line 100 from "if info.isAutoTroop then" to "if info.isAutoTroop or info.levelXP == 0 then". This sets both the isLoseLvlUp and isWinLvlUp variables to false, just like it does for troops and fixes the logic for the calculations and removes the level up arrow in the prediction.
It does however not seem to change anything for the calculations post mission and the level up arrow is showing here. But given that that is not critical to the use of the addon, I have not looked in to that. So I don't know of any other parts that need to be changed in order to accommodate companions that can no longer gain xp or levels.
Seems that Blizzmove and this addon dont get along all of a sudden. when they are both enabled this addon wont pop up. once i disable blizzmove then its there again. Hope you can find a fix for this.
CovenantMissionHelper is a MUST HAVE and VERY accurate. It can even swap the positioning of the NPCs you choose for the mission to minimize HP losses. I just completed a test to see how good it was at extreme cases: Quest>"Defiled But Protected", I used all 50+ combatants and it told me all would die but one and that it would have 75 HP left... so I went for it. The result? We won by 75 HP as predicted!! By comparison "Covenant Mission Success Estimates" told me that the mission was impossible.
Keep getting this.

Thanks for updating the addon I rely on it and another to make mission decions. I love it.
Seems to not be working after sever maintance today 3/23/21 as in it dont load up. Tryed on several toons.
Mission Fail
Any update for 9.0.5 on the addon?
Would it be possible to expand the followers tab to show which followers we still need to collect for Shadowlands?
I was able to win my first mount mission, but every one after that even though it says I will win I fail. Am I missing something here?
Got this error when attempting to deposit anima.

I noticed that the addon calculated "Gormling Harrier apply Reflect Gormling Harrier" and the game did "Gormling Harrier applied Carapace Thorns".
Really good add-on though, I've started to become very reliant on it, because it helps sooo much. <3
Except one, every mount campaign mission failed :(
Covenant mission helper has a serious memory leak. When you simulate missions the entire mission gets stored in memory. It never gets cleared though. Even if you simulate another mission or even close table. Every simulated mission is just stored in active memory forever. Right now Covenant mission helper is using 400MB of memory just storing mission simulations. I'm actually noticing the reduced client performance despite fact app is 64 bit and I have 64 gigs of ram, the issue is that wow handles addon memory very poorly. When heap size gets huge the client tries to attempt more aggressive garbage collection, but because memory addon is using isn't garbage memory it doesn't get cleared, so client keeps trying to aggressively garbage collect and each time it does you get these micro client hitches. This starts once addon memory is probably over 200-250 and it's very noticable. it's a failsafe behavior of wow client when addon memory pressure is high.
Basically you want to avoid this by not filling up addon memory. after simulating a mission it can stay cached up until table is closed or another mission stimulated IMO. purge that storage. flush it out.
