War algorithm table

==War Algorithm==
==War algorithm==
*War algorithm (Ravaged world- the Hitlerian hell).
===General===
*If you’re a failed state, devastated territory, rebel/resistance/partisan cell/puny island or city state -1 due to lack of resources! If you're a super power, principal powers or great powers of the game +4, since you have loads at your disposal! All other types and classes of states 0.
*Side with greater infrastructure: +3
*Side with greater technology: +5
*Side with greater population: +3
*Side with greater industry: +3
*Side with greater agriculture: +2
*Larger land mass + 1
*Defeated last time -1 to the last time's loser
*Surprise attack +6 Attackers
*Sent spies in to the defender's nation the previous round to gain secret knowledge for the attacker= attacker +1, Defender -1.
*+2 Defender uses a scorched earth policy -2 for attackers. Mods can inflict a famine or epidemic on both in the next round due to the problems caused by very short supplies.
===Nation size===
The size of the nation in area.
*-12 Puny island\city state (eg OTL Narau\Monaco)
*-10 Exstreemly small (eg. OTL Fiji)
*-7.5 Very Small (eg. OTL Portugal) 
*-5 Small (eg. OTL New Zealand)
*0 Medium (eg. OTL Sweden)
*+5 Modest (eg. OTL Madagascar)
*+10 Large (eg. OTL Argentina)
*+15 Very large (eg. OTL Canada)
*+10 Extremely large (eg. OTL Russia)
===Terrain===
*Knowledge of landscape:
**+10 for in one's homeland,
**+7.5 for in one's colony,
**+ 5 for warring in an adjacent nation/colony,
**-1 for low knowledge of an non-adjacent lands which are on you/you colony's continent,
**-5 for no knowledge of a distant realm that is not even on your continent.
**If war takes place in ether Antarctica or the Arctic with no prior knowledge of the place by spies or established bases by the attacker, then they will lose -15.
*Fighting in large steppes or plains: Attacker +5, Defender -4. (Blitzkrieg and the like).
*Storming on to a coastline from the sea, the attacker - 4 and defender + gains 5.
*Storming in to polar region or a large jungle: attacker - 3 and + defender gains 4.
*Storming a desert: -1 attacker, +1 for defender
*Large forests: +1.5 for defender, -0.5 for attacker
*Full of lakes and ponds: +2 for defender, -0.5 for attacker
*Many hills: +2 for defender, -0.5 for attacker
*Attacking a island: +3 for defender, -7.5 for attacker
*Mountain chain: +3 for defender, 11 for attacker
*Mountainous island: +5 for defender, 12 for attacker
*Urban warfare in big cities of over 5,000,000 people like today's London, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Mumbai and Berlin, Attacker-2, Defender+2
*Armed expatiation in large extremism climates like Greenland, Niger, Nepal and Amazonia will also be very slow due to logistic and climate problems for any wood-be invader. In this case the defender gets an advantage of +5 and the attacker gets a disadvantage of -5, but it does not get applied if the attacker is from the same sort of environment (ie: Niger would not mined invading Mali since they are both mostly desert, so no disadvantage to Niger).
===WMD===
* Nuclear war gives the atomic user -
** Strategic arms (Tsar bomb and Dong Feng 5, etc) attacker +10 and defender -10
** Tactical arms (Polaris and Hiroshima, ect) +5 and -5
** SDD/SDM sub-Hiroshima types (David Croket and 'suitcase' mini-bombs, etc) +2.5 and -2. for .
** Also add +1 to the attacker and -1 to the defender if the capital is hit.5
** Also add +1 to the attacker and -1 to the defender x the number of nukes used in the attack as a grand total.
* Bio weapons give the attacker +5 and the defender -12.5.
* Chemical weapons give the attacker +2 and the defender -5.
=== Allies===
* Every nation or major vassal/colony militarily helping with their side= +3
* Every nation or major colony/vassal offering supplies to their side= +2
* Every guerrilla force or resistance/partisan group helping way helping with their side= +1
===Motive===
*To end a dictatorship: +7.5 attacker, -10 defender (only if the attacker is a democracy and the defender is a dictatorship. Babba Bush coming to save the oppressed Iraqis, etc.).
*To end a democracy +7.5 attacker, -10 defender (only if the attacker is a dictatorship and the defender is a democracy. Hitler rally the troops with toxic propaganda, etc).
*Perfidiously invading current ally: -6 Attacker, +10 defender
*To provide lebensraum or the wanton conquest of resources: -3 attacher, +5 defender
*Uniting a similar people and culture: Attacker +4 Attacker, -0.5 defender.
*Religious motives such as jihad = +6.5 to the attacker and - 0.5 to the defender.
*To get a local/regional tactical advantage= + 2 to the attacker.
*Non given= 0 to the attacker
*+3 Economic gain (land, money, resources, etc)
*+2 Aiding Ally
*+2 Defending territory not held for more than 10 years
*+4 Defending territory not part of heartland but held for more than 20 years
*+3 Taking territory of similar culture but not part of nation
*+4 Pre-emptive strike
*+5 Taking back territory recently held by nation but since lost
*+6 Aiding Social/Moral/Ideological/Religious Kinsmen who are being oppressed
*+6 Attacking to enforce political hegemony
*+5 Defending Heartland from attack that will not cripple/ destroy nation
*+7.5 Loss of over 10%of national territory or colonies/vassals/colonies
*+9 Defending Core/heartland from possibly fatal attack
*+10 Defending from attack that will wipe out nation and culture.
=== Home front===
*Under trade sanctions or a trade embargo: -1 to whoever is the victim of such an act.
*If either or both sides did not update their economy, industry, transport, military and/or infrastructure in the last 20 years then they will lose -5 as a penalty for neglecting their nation's integrity.
*If you have been at war for 6 of the last 10 rounds, continus or not, then -5 untill there is atleast 10 turns of peace in a row due to the riggors of war on the public moral.
===Theatres of war===
*One front +2 To the combatant nation doing so.
*Two fronts -5 To the combatant nation doing so.
*Three or more fronts -7 To the combatant nation doing so.
===Concurrent wars===
*None 0 To the combatant nation doing so.
*One concurrent war -2 To the combatant nation doing so.
*Two concurrent wars -5 To the combatant nation doing so.
*Three or more concurrent wars -7 To the combatant nation doing so.
=== Troops===
* Many or major OTL/ATL defences and fortified places: Defender + 10
*War Weariness: If you have been fighting for more than 3 continus turns in a row -5 due to battle fatigue until you make peace for at least 1 turn.
*If either side nation chose to deploys over 500 Tanks (or main battle tanks after the Panzer III and the like were invented), 500 bombers, 20 attack submarines and/or 10 men-o-war, ships of the line, Ironclads, dreadnoughts, battleships or aircraft carriers (depends on historic time) in the war then they get +1 for land, sea and/or air. Remember to say how many you deploy or it will be guessed or ignored by a mod. Modern large war ships also take time to build.
*Morale: -5 In face of larger army, -10 for completely surrounded, +10 for in face of a smaller army, +15 for surrounding enemy. If defeated last turn, then the loser from that battle is -5 to his opponent in this battle
*Strength: # of troops divided by a factor of 200,000 (ie, 1,000,000 = 5 points)
===Territorial greed===
*If the attacking nation has either tripled its size or captured a land mass greater than the size of Greenland (both apply depending on national size) in less than 5 turns in a row, then - 7.5 to the attacker each turn unless he stops for 2 turns to consolidate the gains.
===Totalling up the result.===
*Add the totals up and find the biggest total. The biggest wins and the total % decides the losses.
:*a total % of 50% equals a draw leading to stalemate,
:*a total % of 51% equals 1 pixel of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 52% equals 2 pixels of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 53% equals 3 pixels of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 55% equals 5 pixels of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 56% equals 5% of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 58% equals 10% of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 60% equals 20% of land lost by the loser,
:*a total % of 66% equals 33% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 70% equals 50% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 75% equals 60% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 77% equals 66% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 80% equals 75% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 85% equals 80% the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
:*a total % of 90% equals the loser being 100% overrun and crushed automatically, leading to the loser’s formal surrender in one round!
:*Note that the 12 hugest nations, colonies and territories can't be defeated in 1 algo', instead you need 2 different consecutive Algo's to defeat 50% of the nation each time. The second algo can only start after the first ends in either a victory or a surrender.
*Do this for every turn you’re warring in.
