Algorithms
Algorithms—the hard part of map games. This is where all of them are placed. It is mandatory to follow all the rules and strictly follow the procedure, rules, and computation of an algorithm, both of which can be seen here. You can see every algorithm below.

It's vital that you use exactly this format when writing or computing an algorithm, as it helps organization tremendously.

Discussion
As before, I counted each war elephant as worth 100 men. I based the Vijayanagar army size of the Wikipedia article on their army.The Guardian of Forever (talk) 16:13, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Elephants aren't counted in the algorithim, and recalculate your population/army size numbers.

 Consul Ioshua   #Beware!   16:21, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

I readjusted those numbers. I know there are no elephants in the algorithm, but considering the critical place they held in Indian warfare, leaving them out would be a shame. Nonetheless, I will accept whatever response the mods give to this.The Guardian of Forever (talk) 16:38, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Recalculate the population scores again.  Consul Ioshua    #Beware!   18:05, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

I did so, but the score seems weird. Did I do something else wrong?The Guardian of Forever (talk) 23:33, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Mogadishu has a population of 500,000, due to controlling much of the population in Somalia. Fallacyman (talk)

As it's been over 12 hours since I last modified this algo, and since no mod has responded/criticized it, I'm going to assume that this is now legit until a mod says otherwise.The Guardian of Forever (talk) 18:30, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

Disscussion
How does Austria have 40 for population? it should be 4. same with Bavaria. they should have 3.Edgy AF.

THe Rules say that every 10k population gets 0.02, therefore for a population of 2 million, which contains 2000 units of 10 000, the population is 0.02*2000 = 40 and 0.02*1500 = 30.-Lx (leave me a message) 13:09, July 24, 2016 (UTC)
