The Score
The score computation is updated.
The population numbers were very dominant in the score and were tuned down a bit. Population number in millions x 25 is now added to the score. It was a factor of 30 per million before that.
On the other hand, game level contribution to the score is tuned up. It was 700 score points per game level and it is now 800 score points per game level.
Maximal and minimal scores are now extended.
Maximal values in Simcountry
Many countries and enterprises are becoming larger and reached what was previously regarded as maximal values.
We have corrected several such maximal values to accommodate the current game status.
Maximal and minimal values are important as markers for the simulation. When such values are crossed, we can check the reasons and make sure the simulation is working correctly.
Award penalties
Award penalties that are applied when a country receives an award have been increased.
The reason for this change is that we would like to see more countries able to win awards.
With awards being paid in $SOL, we would like to make sure that we do not have a situation where many of the awards are won by a single player.
With a larger award penalty, it will become more difficult to stay in the top winners list for several consecutive months.
Start conditions for beginners
We have improved the start conditions for beginners.
New countries will have larger population numbers and will receive larger population donations when they login. They will also receive larger amounts of cash when they login.
In addition, we have increased the numbers of schools, high schools, universities, hospitals, roads and railroads etc. in new countries. As a result, they will have a much higher education, health and transportation indexes to start with and growing from there will be easier.
We are looking into more factors that could improve new countries. Improvements will extend to military capabilities in a next upgrade.
Military units and weapon capabilities
More military units are becoming larger. Sized of units and garrisons are increasing by 10 to 20%.
The fighting power of land forces is improving. Tanks for example become more powerful and a bit harder to destroy.
These changes are part of our plan to transform the war process, make it less dependent on air power and shift a bit from air to land forces.
New military units do not include defensive jeeps. On the other hand, numbers of tanks are increased.
Enterprise score
An update to the enterprise score will materialize within several days. Enterprise score was not updated for a long time. Enterprises, their corporations, assets and values evaluated in time and the score should reflect these changes.
