Algorithm

• State of Economy: +10 (Flourishing), +7.5 (Okay), +5 (Mild), +2.5 (Poor), 0 (Non-existent or collapsing)
• Many or major defences and fortified places: + 10
• War Weariness: -5 Every turn while in war, after the first turn
• Technology: 0-10; with 0 being the worst, 5 being normal and 10 being ahead of time.
• Knowledge of landscape: +20 for in one's homeland, + 10 for warring in an adjacent nation, -1 for low knowledge of an non-adjacent lands which are on you continent, -10 for no knowledge of a distant realm that is not even on your continent.
• Morale: -10 In face of larger army, - 20 for completely surrounded, +5 for in face of a smaller army, +10 for surrounding enemy
• Storming on to a coastline from the sea or on to an island, the attacker - 10 and defender + gains 10.
• Storming in to a desert or jungle the, attacker - 10 and + defender gains 10.
• Nuclear war gives the atomic user +10 and defender - 10 for Strategic arms or +5 and -5 for tactical arms. +1 to the attacker and -1 to the defender if  the capital is hit
• Every nation militarily helping with their side= +1
• Religious, ethnic and cultural war motives = + 5 to the attacker.
• Economic war motives = + 2 to the attacker.
• Tactical Advantage: +5 defender/-3 attacker (for example crossing the Kalahari desert)
• Armed expansion 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
• Life or death = + 10 to the nation who is fearing being wiped from history.
• Strength: # of troops divided by a factor of 10,000 (i.e, 1,000,000 =100 pints)
• Add the totals up and find the biggest total. The biggest wins.
• Do this for every turn your warring in.

Map usage rules 

A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "image success:"

1. Always copy the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
2. Make all nations different colours.
3. Try to make one for each year.
4. Coloured circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
5. It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as on Wikipedia to get inspiration.
