A possible new algo, just an idea.

***A possible new algo, just an idea.***

### 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
* Propaganda effect from last or this turn: +3
* Defeated last time -1 to the last time's loser
* Guerrilla War: +5 attacker, - 1 defender
* 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 Extremely 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, who are not a jungle type: +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
* Mountains: +3 for defender, -10 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

* Perfidiously invading current ally: -6 Attacker, +10 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.
* Radical political and racist motives = Attacker +5 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
* +3 Taking territory of similar culture but not part of nation
* +4 Pre-emptive strike
* +5 Revenge for being attacked.
* +5 Taking back territory recently held by nation but since lost
* +6.5 Aiding Social/Moral/Ideological/Religious Kinsmen who are being oppressed
* +6 Attacking to enforce political hegemony

### Defender’s view

* +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.
* +2 Defending territory not held for more than 10 years
* +4 Defending territory not part of heartland but held for more than 20 years

### 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 25 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, continuous or not, then -5 until there is at least 5 turns of peace in a row due to the riggers of war on the public moral.
* Size of population- The number of people divided by 100,000,000 (IE, 250,000,000= 2.5 points).

### 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 continuous 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
* Size of Military- The number of troops divided by a factor of 250,000 (IE, 1,000,000= 4 points).

### Territorial greed

* If the attacking nation has either tripled it's 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.

### Totaling 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 95% equals of the loser being 90% of the loser nation is overrun automatically and the rest is in disarray,
* a total % of 99% 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 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.

* Do this for every turn you’re warring in.
* The result goes on a war algorithm result for record.
