Talk:Clash of Nations (Map Game)

Location
No former presence, core of army away from battle: +0
 * Defending Nation: +10
 * On Border: +8
 * City near border +6

Power
Land is always aplicable, Navy is only aplicable when an attack on the coast is made. Air attacks must be plausable, if you have no air bases in the region you can't use it. Space forces are only applicable if nation is of appropriate technology, and of enough infrastructure. This means no rockets or space centers=No space force or space infrastructure required to build said space space force. Land, aerial, and naval is compounded. If you have large naval, medium air, and medium land, your score is 9 or 7. You cannot have medium aerial and large aerial at the same time. Power is averaged in a coalition war. Power is a multipler for development.
 * Large aerial assault capability +3.5
 * Large naval assault capability + 3.5
 * Large land assault capability +3.5
 * Large space assault capability +3.5
 * Medium aerial assault capability +3 (if enemy has no aerial power) +2 (if the enemy has aerial power)
 * Medium naval assault capability +3 (if the enemy has no naval power) +2 (if the enemy has their navy stationed in or around the location)
 * Medium land capability +3 (if three or more times larger than enemy) +2 (if less than three times larger than enemy)
 * Medium space assault capability +3 (if the enemy has no space power) +2 (if the enemy has space power)
 * Small aerial/naval/land/space capability: +1

Tier 1
No More than 5 tier one nations at once, also this is Out of character knowlege, I don't want to see tiers menitoned in game.

Tier 2
No more than 7 tier two nations at once

Tierless
Any nation not listed above has no tier.

Points:

Tier 1 invading a tierless nation: +10 These are subject to change over time, though there are restrictions on movement. To push a nation out of a tier (IE you want to enter tier 1 or 2 but they are full) you need to have a larger economy and be all around better than them.
 * Tier 1 nations get plus 20
 * Tier2:+15
 * Tier 3:+10
 * Tier 4:+5
 * 1 tier above enemy:+2
 * 2 Tiers above enemy:+4
 * 3 Tiers above enemy:+6
 * 4 Tiers above enemy:+8

Power Caps:

Each Tier has caps on it's power:


 * Tier 1:No Cap
 * Tier 2:8.5
 * Tier 3: 6
 * Tier 4:4
 * Tierless:3

 * Defending from nuclear armed nation that has a motive over 5 and has not yet used their weaponry: + 16
 * Defending from nuclear armed nation, regardless of motive, that has used said weaponry: + 18
 * Defending from attack that will wipe out nation and culture: + 20
 * Counter attack:+5
 * Non-democratic Government supported by people: + 4
 * Democratic government supported by people: + 5
 * Government not supported by people: -5
 * Troop Morale high (requires motive over 10, chance over 6, and stronger development scores in at least one category): + 10
 * Troop Morale low (any of the above: lower development scores in all categories, recent war penalty over 16): -10
 * Fighting Guerilla War: -10 attacker, + 2 defender
 * Implausibility: -4 per impluasibility

 * No Government:-25

Population
Every further order of Magnitude (eg 20x, 30x): +30 ONLY of the leading nations
 * Greater than 100 million +30
 * Greater than 50 million +15
 * Greater than 30 million +5
 * Less than 30 million + 2
 * Larger than opponents: + 4
 * 2x size of opponent's: + 5
 * 5x size of opponent's: + 10
 * 10x: +20

Landscape
Knowledge of landscape: +10 for in one's homeland, +5 for warring in an adjacent nation, -1 for low knowledge of an non-adjacent lands which are on your continent, -10 for no knowledge of a distant realm that is not even on your continent, in polar regions or outside Earth.(unless the attacker is also polar) -6. 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 -6.
 * Urban warfare: Attacker -2, Defender +2
 * Storming on to a coastline from the sea or on to an island, the attacker - 4 and defender + gains 5.
 * Storming in to a desert, high mountains, or jungle the, attacker -3 and + defender gains 4.

Allies
Vassal is an L:-5
 * Leader Nations: +10 each participating
 * Military aid: + 5 each participating
 * Supplies: + 4 each participating
 * Cultural Support: +2 each participating
 * Vassal: -2 each participating
 * Withdrawal: - 2 each nation which was participating and then left
 * ex: China (L) Vietnam (M) France (S) Britain (C) Japan (MV) Korea (SV) = 10 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 24
 * Please note that Vassals CANNOT give Cultural aid

Recent Wars
Each war in the past 15 years where nation was a... Military, Economic and Infrastructural developmentEdit Military, economy, and Infrastructure can be developed as the game progresses. Each turn you may develop 2 of the catagories. Infrastructure applies only to defenders and is not multipled by power. Development points last 20 turns each.
 * Leader: -8
 * Military aider: -4
 * Supplier: -2

NPC development is a bit confusing. NPCs develop in this order: Infrastructure-Milititary and Infrastructure-Economy, Giving them 10 points in Military and economy and 20 points in infrastructure.
