Current Victory Points

To all those who do not know how to get a top score each and every game
here is all you need to know.

1. Character points are ranked from highest to lowest from the nations
maintenace costs.

2. Wealth is ranked highest to lowest from the nations gold reserves.

3. Army points are ranked who has the most heavy cavalry on down. IF
you want 500 points from armies just recruit a ton of HC.

4. Pop center points are given based on who has the most Cities, then
MT's, T, V, camps. It appears to be randon on who gets first or second
if there are 2 people with same number of cities. At least this is how
I have found it to work. This one has been the hardest to actually get
figured out.

The army one I know for a fact that HC will get you to the top.

I have a different theory for pop centers. Victory points equal the sum of the below:
Total camp loyalty times one.
plus
Total village loyalty times two.
plus
Total town loyalty times three.
Etc, Etc.
Then sorted highest to lowest. I have run several experiments on this one, and I think it is right.

Not that I've run any experiments mind you, but I always assumed VPs for pop were allocated highest to lowest tax base, for militray highest to lowest maintenance costs, ditto character maintenance costs.

Well Fred, we've had a pile of contradictory "facts" or "opinions" on
this thread: So where did you come up with your 4 then so we can
ascertain how much closer to surety we've found ourselves today?

Cheers,

Brad

If you have all the turns from your side for any game that ended, you
can write down all the victory points from your side and then
extrapolate to figure out the missing spots the enemy took.

Gold is definately whomever had highest to whomever had lowest.
Characters is definately whomever had highest to whomever had lowest
character upkeep.
Armies from what I have been able to figure out is HC goes before any
other type of troops.
Pop Centers appears to go the way I described.

We have all played games and if you kept all the final pdf's from
them you can try to figure it out also.

Because you can figure out how to get a good score just from these
aspects is the entire reason I dont like even seeing them. I dont
base a persons skill at this game by victory points. To me its what
they did during the game. Anyone who is sitting back unmolested can
get great scores and guess what they didnt do anything to contribute
to the teams effort. Anyone ever play Rhudaur and get pounded but
not get knocked out? They probably fought tooth and nail and guess
what they got 400 vps. Thats a real indication of their skill?
Gimme a break.

Thats why I proposed a different set of victory points based on what
the characters do with their orders vs what is generated by doing
nothing.
