Wars
KIRAS KINGDOM- THE MOST EVIL EMPIRE (TM)
NINJABADHISTAN- TEH MODERATORS (SNEAK ATTACK BY NINJABADHISTAN)

Kira's Kingdom sent 47 Troops against The Most Evil Empire (TM)

ORDERS from MJW
Attack Whoha with 47 armies. Cities captured are 3
Target cities: I11,I10,H11,I9,

Attacker takes casualties as follows:
Casualties = D / AT.

1/5=0.2 casualties=0 casualties for MJW.

Defender takes casualties as follows:
Casualties = (D / DC) * cities lost.

(1/4)x3=.75= 0 casualties for Whoha.

----

Ninjabadhistan sent 15 troops against Teh Moderators in a sneak

attack.

C = ((A / DT) - (D / DC)) * (AT / DT), round down.

C= cities captured
A = attacker's army size
D = defender's army size
AT = attacker's tech level
DT = defender's tech level
DC = defender's number of cities

C=((15/5) - (0/5))*(7/5)
C=(2.8)*(1.4)=3.92= 3 cities captured.
However, it's a sneak attack, so only 1 city (H3) is captured.

Attacker takes casualties as follows:
Casualties = D / AT.

Defender takes casualties as follows:
Casualties = (D / DC) * cities lost.

1/7=0.14 (No Attacker Casualties)
(1/5)X3=0.6 (No Defender Casualties)

(1 is used for defender even though defender has 0 people because

a 0 would receive a null amount of cities captured.)

Ok. Orders open for 54 hours from now.

I think that amazingly there are no math errors in that round... but it took about 2 1/2 hours to process even with the program. (I was doublechecking for errors)

I hope everything is clear.

Best,
DC.

[EPW]

I have to kill you now Theben

[Theben]

I think EPW revolted to Republic, yes? And did you give me 10% world trade?

I have to kill you now Theben

I know. We all do what we must.

EDIT: Whoha's army should be dead.

[MJW]

(1/4)x3=.75= 0 casualties for Whoha.

Sent

[DarkCloud]

Theben... oops. I neglected to give you the 10%.
I'll just now fixed the republic revolt thing for EPW.

...You have 50 more gold than is listed in the table.
I freely admit that number is calculated by eyeballing the numbers.

Whoha actually does still have one army, oddly enough (!)

[Theben]

I actually have 8 cities now... I know I only collect for 6 so it doesn't change the .

[DarkCloud]

fixed that!

[EPW]

Theben has almost as many cities as he has HP in Gladiator!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Not sure if you missed the caravans coming to me this turn, Whoha's vans are in the "outgoing" text above but not in the incoming text.

[Whoha]

Sent.

[DarkCloud]

Spaced, I'm pretty certain I got yours, I just listed Whoha in two different ways because my program didn't calculate his trade correctly at first; I had to go back and manually fix his trade. It should be all right now though.
