@yeti, php's floor is different from javascript floor:

echo floor(-3.14); // -4

I could use a different function, intval which would suit negative divisors, but could you find/make a similar function for BOB?

echo intval(4.2); // 4
echo intval(-4.2); // -4

so this means that between 1 and 10 terits you get #of terits divided by 2, between 11-25 divided by 3 and 21-45 is divided by 4. meaning for 7 terits you get 3 reinfs for 15 terits you get 5 reinfs and for 44 terits you get 11.
and the minimum must always be 13. this is interesting but how do i make it so you get minus for owning terits?. let's say i want people over 60 terits to get -20. is that possible?

Negatives will work - you just have to divied by negative numbers?! But you may want to test the maths for that...

Also - Lack has made it so that you can have overlapping zones...

I'll use a simpler example...

Say you have the following...

<min>6</min>

<lower>1
<upper>45
<divisor>3

<lower>1
<upper>45
<divisor>3

What this essentially does - is double the standard reinforcement values...

say you have 20 territories...

So we roll through the array and see if any apply...

The both apply - so we have 20/3 = 6 + 20/3 = 6 so total = 12.

So another example...

<min>6</min>

<lower>1
<upper>18
<divisor>3

<lower>10
<upper>30
<divisor>4

We have 20 territories...

so the first 18 apply to divisor 3 -> so add 6.

Then another 11 apply to divisor 4 -> so add 3.

Total = 9 - which is above min of 6... so return 9.

Does that help?

Code: Select all

      <divisor>2</divisor>

2 terts = 3 armies
4 terts = 3 armies
6 terts = 3 armies
8 terts = 4 armies
10 terts = 5 armies
12 terts = 6 armies
14 terts = 7 armies
16 terts = 8 armies
18 terts = 9 armies
20 terts = 10 armies

BUT....

Code: Select all

      <lower>15</lower>
      <upper>30</upper>
      <divisor>3</divisor>

15 terts = 5 armies
18 terts = 6 armies
21 terts = 7 armies
24 terts = 8 armies
27 terts = 9 armies
30 terts = 10 armies

Which set of numbers works for 18 territories? ( and all other overlapping numbers)

Thanks

Just a simple xml tag to define a message posted to chat at the start of every game on that map.

Mostly for storytelling or "setting the mood"

Would need standards set - under x number of characters, yes/no to "map created by", "Beware the prison of Alcatraz for you shall never escape it" is a gameplay tip but in character so to speak where "Alcatraz has no outward borders" is just an explanation - which, if either is acceptable, etc etc etc.

Just a thought
