Discussion[]

There is a lot wrong with this algo. First of all, there is no country called "Madhya", but assuming there was, with a population of 48 (12 million) and a feudal government it could field a max of 120,000 troops and Uttar could field even more. Troop numbers are severely underestimated for the enemy. Again you make vague attacks on "Eastern Madhya" and "Central Madhya" without besieging any cities; your algo for Uttar has the same problem. The percentage scores are inflated too (198 > 85 = 233%, not 430%). Finally, every algo has the same location modifier: "Near a populated border: +2", when the first algo is supposedly a siege and the others are in the interior of a country. The whole thing is confusing because you don't seem to define exactly where the battles take place anywhere in the algo.

Besides the algo itself, "Madhya" and "Uttar" don't exist as countries. If they correspond to present day Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, no way you can conquer 4+ nations at once (3 of which don't border you) with your dodgy generalizing regions and bad algos.

Make a proper algo, be specific about what nation you are invading, where you are attacking, troop numbers and location modifiers. General534 (talk) 17:47, June 24, 2017 (UTC)
