War

The algorithm is made to see if you have won a war or not. You will have to write it if you are the attacker/ attackers. If you write the algo, you will also have to write one for the defender country. To do an algo, you look at the instructions below. If you don't know how to write one, ask the creator, Captainjohnrex, on his talk page or the top mods if they could do one for you! You write your algo at the Algorithm page. If you're not sure if the algo is done right, you can either send it to creator or the top mods to check it for you. To see if you won a war, the aftermath will be written by the mods and will say if you win or not!

1. Your navy score will minus 0.5.
2. Your economy score will minus by 1.0
3. Industry cannot be increased for the next year
4. Technology cannot be increased for the next year

6. Colonial score add 1 if gained land- won the war.

If other countries help you in this war by sending troops only, their army, navy and economy will all minus by 0.15.

This is how you do an algorithm and where you put it (algorithm): - Link
