Discussion
Well, here's my attempt at a algorithm. I searched around and could not find a precedent.

Very good job. We shall use it here and everywhere! Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 02:28, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

It's pretty good, I just think that a few changes might be needed to match up with the land one, which I will make in a few minutes. Monster Pumpkin 02:38, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Technology Milestones
The Algorithms above will incorporate Technology Milestones as a way of determining the country's current techology level. Technology Milestones can be traded, stolen, sold, given, or even lost. Use them wisely. Once you obtain a milestone, you never lose it unless it is lost.

List of Milestones

 * Machine Gun - Research available from the start, already known by Europe, North America, South America, and Eastern Asia.
 * Radio - Reseach available from the start, already known by Europe, North America, and parts of East Asia.
 * Airplanes - Research available from the start, can be completed by 1903 at the earliest.
 * Modern Battleships - Research available from the start, can be completed by 1906 at the earliest.
 * Submarines - Research available from the start, already known by Europe.
 * Tanks - Research available from 1914, can be completed by 1916 at the earliest.
 * Bombers - Research available from 1911, can be completed by 1912 at the earliest.
 * Railroad Artillery - Research available from 1917, can be completed by 1918 at the earliest.
 * Aircraft Carriers - Research available from 1918, can be completed by 1918 at the earliest.
 * Mechanical Rockets - Research available from 1936, can be completed by 1942 at the earliest.
 * Nukes and WMDs - Research available from 1940 to Big Cheese, 1947 to others, can be completed by 1944 at the earliest and used 1945 at the earliest.

Big Cheese
The Big Cheese can have some techs and milestones before others. The Big Cheese will change over time. These are only for now. They will change during and after wars, civil wars, and other events. The BC are as follows:
 * The Great European Powers (Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, Portugal)
 * Austria-Hungary
 * Italy
 * America, of course.

Losing a Milestone
If your nation is so devestated from a war, it is possible that you will lose a milestone. You can get it back from any of the aforementioned ways. A nuclear strike on every major city in a country will always result in losing a milestone.

Assassination for WWI
Are we going to have Serbians assassinate Archduke Ferdinand of Austria to provide the spark for World War I again? ChrisL123 01:29, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

It depends on what happens. Probably not, but we will just have to wait and see. Monster Pumpkin 01:31, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Can I have a link to that Archive? TacoCopper
