Algorithm (Greater Europe II Map Game)

Back to: Greater Europe II (Map Game)

Location
Location goes by nearest military base:


 * at the location of the war or border invasion: 5
 * next to the location of the war: 4
 * close to the location of the war: 3
 * far from location of the war: 2
 * other side of the world: 1

Tactical Advantage

 * attacker's advantage: 1
 * knowledge of landscape: 2
 * this counts if: Defender has had territory for 20+years OR Attacker has owned territory attacked within the past 20 years.
 * If Casus Belli exists, then +1 for attacker. If it doesn't, +1 for defender. (This rule will be applied after 1943)

Strength

 * Allies: for each ally participating in the war +1 point
 * Participants: material aid = 2 pts and military = 3 pts. If a material aid nation withdraws, the nation loses 1 point if the war isn’t over 3 seasons after withdrawal. For military aid nations, the aided nation loses 1 point if the aiding nation changes sides (the other nation gains, however, only 2 points)
 * country has developed military: 1 for each turn dedicated to military or military technology in the last 15 years. This resets after every war
 * expansion: -1 for every turn used for expansion in the past 10 years, as it uses resources and money (unless done by mercenaries, then -0.5 as only $$$ used)
 * Major tech advancement on your side: 5
 * Population: number of digits in population (100 000 000 = 9, 100 000=6), 2 pt bonus may be granted for larger population if both nations have equal digits in population (ex. 15 000 000 and 50 000 000, 50 000 000 gets +2)
 * Larger industrial base: +2

Motive

 * motive is life or death (country's sovereign existence is threatened or nuclear threat): 10
 * motive is religious: 7
 * motive is social or moral: 6
 * motive is political: 5
 * motive is economic: 3

Chance
0 to 9 points will be awarded to each person based on chance. Factors will be the opponent's edit count (as indicated by the edit count on the profile of user x) and which will then be divided by the precise time when the country declares war or acknowledges the others declaration of war (only hr. and min.) or The product of the non-zero digits of the time by UTC (0:00 yields 1). The result is multiplied by pi and the hundredths digit is the amount of points that person gets (e.g. 123.8377 yields 3). Mods  will use Random.org for NPCs

Result Only Doctor261 can apply and confirm a result. DO NOT edit that part. It is dependent to the situation, wherever there are % or the full territory to be taken over.
