-You didn't add Cypriot defense and/or stats -Da Kaiser (talk) 02:40, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Nor the naval force of the Hospitallers, Naxos, the Papal materiel aid etc. Callumthered (talk) 03:54, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

I believe Famagusta is currently a Genoese property, but I'm not entirely certain. 05:56, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

This algorithm is so wrong. The population of Cyprus is 50k in the algorithm, and I'm going to assume it is a Non-Feudal State. This means it can raise a maximum of 1k troops.

So please explain to me how Cyprus is sending 5k to defend Constantinople and still has 6k left to defend themselves

I was under the assumption that I had a population of 75,000. And I took Fatmagusta from Genoa in the War of 1404. -Da Kaiser (talk) 14:22, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

I personally dont have a clue how much your population is. The algo said 50k so I assumed maybe it is 50k. Anyways, I think you might win this if your allies that Callum mentioned help out.

Does the algo need to be fixed or not? cause Cyprus seems to have surrendered -Nate

In case it isn't clear, the hospitallers, Naxos, and Papacy are all fighting the Ottomans, not protecting Cyprus, although the Ottoman's 60 ships are not in the algo either -Nate

King Janus despaired, however Prince James may not agree. Also I'm fighting the Ottomans in a different war with my navy which is why the Abbasids made it to Cyprus. If my fleet was there even without my army, I could have won. My only real allies are Aragon and Rome. -Da Kaiser (talk) 03:38, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Discussion
As previously mentioned, these are all placeholder results until a moderator arrives to fix them. Oh and the lack of attrition in Kota Batu is due to the location near the Brunei River, so.........I am unsure if that accounts as coastal attrition or not. I am also unsure about Casus Beli, regarding the Majapahit Empire and the Brunei Sultanate. Any errors? Tell me in here or chat. Through Stars We Rise.

Could another 6 be added to my Causus Belli? I would say this would count as a patriotic revolt; perhaps the title "Bruneian War for Independence" is more fitting. -- Orange (→My wall!←) 18:06, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

The reason it's a patriotic rebellion is because at the current era, Brunei is one of your vassals; this was a plan to gain independence. -- Orange (→My wall!←) 18:15, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

 * Result: 27
 * Population: 9.5 million (Ottomans: 6 million, Caliphate: 3.5 million) = 19
 * Motive: 5 (religious)
 * Government: 3 (Sultanate)
 * Battle of Geleta
 * Crusaders
 * Result: 41.15 + blunder = 36.15(see below)
 * Military: 96,500 (Aragon, 40,000, Milan, 10,000 Demnark: 1,000, Norway: 1,000, Thringen: 500, all others: 15,600) = 13.95
 * Note: currently 59% of total military. May be lessened as per religious war penalty if necessary
 * Navy: ~390 ships = 11.7
 * Note: currently 86% of total navy. May be lessened as per religious war penalty if necessary
 * Second note: the religious war penalty's size also highly depends on the location. Jerusalem and Constantinople are not equivalent and the technology is also differennt, making longer travels easier.

Discussion
I have a great many issues with this algo but am not currently able to state them all at this time. I will do so shortly, hopefully tonight. I don't want anyone jumping to conclusions here.

"This is not your grave  but you are welcome in it. " 21:56, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Ok, as I was saying earlier, there are some issues here that I think need to be addressed: That should be it. I await objections.
 * While my first objection was going to be the number of ships the Ottomans possessed, I now see that they have had a naval concentration for the last decade, so I recant that. However, that does bring into focus the issue of why they have such a large army alongside it. If they are a naval concentration and previous mods have said that 110,000 troops is the most the Ottomans could raise under an army concentration, I am skeptical they can maintain a large fleet and army at the same time.
 * Secondly, why is the Ottoman army counted in this algo? This battle takes place in Constantinople/Istanbul, and as Bozi himself said, the Ottoman army is at the Balkan border, all 110,000 or so of it. Not withstanding the previous issue of size, it should be clear that the army isn't where the fighting is.
 * And if someone were to say "well, it counts the entire military of the Ottomans" then I ask why the entire military of the Crusaders is not counted as well? I doubt this will be an actual objection, but it merits a response all the same.
 * I am skeptical of the size of the Crusader's forces regardless of whether they are all counted or not. The current Papal navy is around thirty ships, yet the entire coalition is given a value of 32. This coalition, I might add, includes the Mediterranean nations of Ragusa and Genoa, both of which are at the height of their power and have long naval traditions. And those are just two nations of the nations involved. While I understand that the entire navy of every nation will not necessarily be involved, only 32 ships? Really?
 * The population of the Papal States is definitely not correct. Italy in total has a population of 14 million, and the Papal States owns most of the center, including major cities like Rome, Ancona, and Bologna. Definitely more than the mere 80,000 I am presented with.
 * I believe the Teutonic Order needs to be counted in the algo as well, as I remember Eip saying he would support the crusade. If he said otherwise to someone else, please inform me.

"This is not your grave  but you are welcome in it. " 22:42, August 7, 2016 (UTC) Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  23:34, August 7, 2016 (UTC) "This is not your grave  but you are welcome in it. " 23:42, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * The Ottomans have more ability to support troops than the crusaders because it is the one being invaded. That's why we have a Holy War penalty in the first place. It's not reasonable to send most of your military across Europe just to attack Muslims, but it is reasonable to deploy military which is already there due to the Siege of Constantinople. In fact, if Bozi was not navy concnetration he could send much more military, about 130,000. So 100K is actually reasonable. If you don't believe me, check out the OTL Seige of Constantinople, the Ottoman military was usually around 100,000-120,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Constantinople
 * I will try to fix the population and troop numbers for the Crusaders, but I don't have information for all of them. Oct has claimed that he has a navy of 3,000 ships, which I find very hard to believe without a source.
 * Keep in mind though, that battle occured when the Ottomans didn't have a fleet of 252 or more ships. As per the concentration system, if one is strong the other must be weaker. Since the Ottomans are naval and have been for more than a decade now, the army must be weaker as a result, otherwise the system is broken. Scraw agrees with me on this. And of course, that is dodging the location issue, which we have currently tabled.
 * Sky says that he has a total fleet of 144 ships, but he's only contributing a hundred. I don't think it would be unreasonable for Genoa and the rest of the coalition to create a fleet comparable to that of the Ottomans, if they chose to do so.

For the next round, please be sure to add the 4.5 million Milanese population, and our contributions o10k men and 50 ships. 03:44, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

Also add the 40k men and 30 ships from Aragon please. —  T  I   M  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 05:22, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

My population is 650k not 40k. Also my army stands at 5k not 500. I would like this to be fix to the exact numbers. - Scarlet Outlaw

Whoever finishes this algo, please remember that the rules/algo page has a set limit to the number of troops each nation can commit to a Crusade/Holy War -Nate

How is it that the Ottomans got cut on their navy when they are naval concentration? If you aren't giving them credit for navy then they should have gotten more army. You can't have it both ways. -Nate

Are you sure you won't suffer attrition? The city of Fez is surrounded by the Atlas Mountains so I am not sure how you managed to skip over the Mountains. Your algo justifies it by saying "Battle takes place in city" which is quite amusing because for the battle to take place within the city, it would mean your army crossed over the mountains and toppled the city gates to enter the city... neither of which happened. So, as far as I see it, you should suffer -6 in Attrition

I justify it withthis map and this map,both of which place the city of Fez North of the Atlas Mountains, not surrounded by them. I will post further refrence maps at the end of this post. The Wikipedia article for Fez states that it is located in the Atlas Range, however refrencing severalmaps place Fez and the route my forces would march outside of the Atlas Mountains. Now if I was marching from the South or East, I would have to cross them, but not from the Northwest. I can post more reference maps if needed. #BRINGBACK THESQUIRREL

I suppose you are a bit right. However, whilst it isn't completely surrounded by the Atlas Range, the ciy is not on flatlands either. The following two maps prove that the city is in fact present on a high-altitude terrain

 * https://nicholasconley.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/morock.gif?w=534

However, to be more close to the truth and how the scenario truly is, I decided to check a satellite image of the area. The result is the following which clearly depicts the terrain North/North West of the city being mountainous
 * http://i63.tinypic.com/5d5sfn.png

Mamma mia, che buona algo! Anyways, blunder -5 and -5 and no attrition. It's a hills/rough terrain at most then, y'see, there's a big difference between those two, atleast that's what I've learnt from my mountaineering years.

This algo has certain issues: Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  02:09, August 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * Need some help since ive never done this algo before Feud Sig
 * China never said it was invading. It merely allowed Japan to invade
 * China has no intention to annex korea or allow it to be annexed, so it is not existential
 * Invading from an Island obviously needs a naval algo, which is exactly why Japan couldn't invade Korea otl until the 20th century
 * Considering Japan and Korea are both naval concentrations, why is there an army algo in the first place? Did your navies transmute into soldiers?
 * Korea's maximum military is 134,000 by its population (again, how can Korea or Japan use so many land troops with a naval concentration?)
 * I'm leaving Korea as Celestial Empire only because I don't know enough about East Asia to say otherwise

I actually maintain a port city right next to korea... so yeah i dont need a naval algo to transport troops to my own port city right next to Korea. If thats an issue than China allowed me to invade and i went through Chinese Territory. As for my concentration its not about number of troops its about their efficiency. I can field around 200,000 or so. As for navies. As for Korea being annexed, its nominally falling under a complicated Sino-Japanese agreement regarding Korea which will be discussed at length in a treaty between China and Japan. Also when does it say in the concentrations i cant have an Army as well as a Navy. The Focus is to just give precedence for one over the other and give a bonus for doing that focus. Historically the French did have a fleet just not a very good one. While it would be able to compete in its heydey with the Portuguese or Spanish Fleets, the British was out of the question cause the British naval focus made their island impregnable. This also however did not discount the fact the British spent well beyond their means on multiple occassions to fight and wipe out the french the most notable being the napoleonic wars where they continued on funding their allies and fielding relatively large armies to contend with the French. As for the fact of Korea not being invaded til the 20th century thats untrue. Invasions have happened both ways, the 1200's for an invasion into Japan by the mongols, and then the 15th century with a large Japanese invasion force which persisted and was beaten back by Koreans with Chinese support.

Either way ive won and me and China have a pre-existing agreement concerning Koreas jurisdiction post war Feudy McPlagueface (talk)

Navy concentration means you can't have as much army as you would be able to given your population. Your population can support 200,000 troops, if you had a small navy, but you declared your concentration on navy instead. If you already have a port city in Korea you have already defeated the purpose of being in this war, as China is only giving you access to the peninsula. All the invasions between Korea and Japan before the 20th century failed because the militaries were defeated at sea. Neither the Mongols nor Japanese ever landed on the coast. England would need a naval algo to invade France, despite being close in the channel, and Korea and Japan are much farther away than them. So no, this isn't official until you have the naval algo. That's my final word, so you will need the consensus of other mods if you disagree. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  03:52, August 10, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah it says that nowhere in the rules. It just says a 10% bonus is applied to the area in which you have a concentration in. Nowhere does it force me to reduce my army size to compensate which in reality doesnt happen in an era like this. That might starting to be true in the 1600's and 1700's when a more proffessional and expensive standing army was the case but i think the lack of applied bonus works enough here.

Besides that i think it goes without saying i would crush Koreas navy since guess what i have navy focus to their Army focus and decidedly beat them on the land as it is. Also you are wrong once again in the success of invasions by sea. The Mongol invasion did in fact touch down at one point (there were multiple invasions) and the Japanese fought them on the coast. And in the case of Japans invasion of korea in the 1500's 200,000 troops arrived with little to no naval molestation to begin with. Besides i have a giant natural port that i own on the coast that i can land troops that is literally within spitting distance of the Border. Also im pretty sure if you are going to cut my army size A FULL 50,000 is more than plenty to be cutting. Feudy McPlagueface (talk)

Bozi's normal army of 100,000 was cut down to 60,000 due to his navy concentration. Safe to be consistent. Also, while both of those invasions did have some landings the vast cause of their defeat was at sea (the Mongol forces were wiped out in a storm and the Japanese were defeated by the admiral Yi Sun-Sin) Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  04:24, August 10, 2016 (UTC)

Please, Feud, lengthening an argument does not affect whether or not you're wrong. I can see already several issues with your algorithm. First it assumes that China allows an invasion of Korea. Firstly, the treaty in which Korea is subjugated as a protectorate specifically states that China is obliged to protect it. If China would want Korea to stay put, it would have to exercise its obligations, which is opposite of your implausible little collaboration (which is really fishy). Second, you stated there's no Great General for Korea. There is. Kim Jong-seo, who co-led an attack against the Jurchens that persisted until the Songhua River, many miles north of the peninsula. Second, there's King Sejong the Great (he had a honorific at the end of his name for a reason), who also co-led the attack against the Jurchens and managed to easily repel wokou pirates and invade Tsushima in 1419 in the Ōei War. Third, despite your naval focus, Korea has a probably stronger (but probably smaller) navy. Korea at the earlier models of panokseon (or turtleships) at this time, which were equipped with gunpowder weapons and had spikes to discourage pirates from setting foot on the ship. Japan meanwhile, has a navy mostly composed of merchant vessels. Fourth, Korea has a way higher population density, especially in the areas you are trying to invade, and thus, resistance is thick. Korea also has gunpowder and the ability to manufacture gunpowder weapons (it has had these since the Goryeo dynasty) whilst Japan has none. I doubt China would give you the secret of gunpowder making. Fifth, why would Korea be a threat to Chinese interests (as stated by his turn). Korea has openly admitted Chinese "superiority" and wish to become a tributary state once again. Meanwhile, Japan treats itself as an equal, pays no tribute, and even subjugated an important Chinese trading partner (the Kingdom of Tondo) as a tributary state. If anything, Japan would be targeted by China. That is all.

I did some stuff after reading the walls of text SkyGreen24 12:26, August 10, 2016 (UTC)

How is my navy smaller when i have a naval concentration and a higher population and merchant marine base. This algo makes absolutely no sense from the naval perspective. Im requesting a Mod other than Nate since there is some fuckery about.
 * Eh, I agree, Korea sent 227 ships against (at least) 300 ships (number of destroyed ships) in the Ōei War. Assuming the ratio will be the same, Korea will send 174 ships. I still think Korea has around 400–500 ships as a whole. -Candies

Also Candies, for future reference, the MODS decide if you get a great General not you. Period end of story If you didnt not request one or had it granted, then you dont have one. Feudy McPlagueface (talk)

Sejong the Great should count as great general, not admiral -Nate

Yi Jong-mu is a general, yet he's the one who led the Ōei War (successfully won the Japanese), so I think he can be counted as a Great Admiral.

Japan's naval forces were easily defeated by Yi Sun-Sin, thanks to skill and the panokseon (more famously known as the turtle-ship), which only Japanese naval vessels had an ironclad roof, numerous cannons, and other features that deterred pirates from setting foot or gave them an advantage in confrontations. Korea never lost control of the sea. Japan only got far because of Portugese weaponry and tough training, whereas Korea was ill-prepared and faced political strife at the time. In this situation, China is obliged to protect Korea. Korea is not under strife, and is well-prepared. –Candies

Discussion
Viva, just to be more clear, the civil war in the core of Benin is a separate party from the Songhai rebellion. You can't defeat them both in one battle. Also, with the Songhai independence they take much of the outer vassals/territories outside of the core of Benin, giving them roughly equal or slightly less population than Benin. But that won't matter until the next turn when you send an algo against Songhai itself -Nate

That bit with Songhai is ASB. How did a nation that was largely dominated by a single group manage to take over an entire region that never belonged to them to begin with? To declare independence from Benin would require the old nobles to Songhai to still have support in the region, which they don't. When the Jews rebelled against the Romans, they didn't take all the land from Anatolia to Egypt. They only took the land they had a presence in; Judea. Songhai doesn't control that much land since many of the inhabitants are from Benin's core. And why would lands conquered by Songhai want to rebel and join their conquerors, when life under Benin was safer and freer? None of this is adding up.

 * 1) Why was the population changed? Songhai in OTL only have about three million people, and my population was changed form 13,456,250 to just 12 million.
 * 2) Where is my army concentration bonus? It's nowhere in this algo.
 * 3) Where did the major war status come from? Even with the altered population, Songhai is not 45% of Benin's population.
 * 4) Where did the -6 war fatigue come from? I didn't fight six years in a minor war, nor three years in a major war.
