My opponent is nearing 1000 over-all Russian casualties (infantry, artillery, aircraft, naval). What can I expect to happen should that -1000 is met or exceeded? Can it be that if his army is in the black MP, to go to yellow MP (including those units on the map)? I'm not sure how to understand this lua file..

Reaching 1000 casualities won't have any "special" consequences for your opponent besides the usual drop in quality of manpower.

Meaning only new units after the MP drop would be affected, not existing units, correct.?

Correct.

Robotron,

Question: This line says "army" performance "local armyPerformance = (kills + 1000) / (casualties + 1000)" . Does that include naval-artillery-aircraft ? Follow up question: If Germany get's over a 1000 combined kills, What does that do? The Russians finally lost over 1000 combined casualties.


To be clear: Germany's MP is already in the black. Does it go blacker?

All kills from any unit types are combined.

There are no special consequences for causing a lot of kills except favorably affecting the nation's morale.

And since you seem quite fixated on that kills/casualities+1000 part of the script:
the +1000 is only included to keep the result from changing too much during the early game.
Without the +1000 "softener" all nations' morale would crazily rise or fall each turn by 10-50 points.

Understand, I as CP is in a really tight match turn 37 (started an AAR over at Matrix). The tides of war are starting to ebb away my strength ever so increasingly, where I am trying to analyze the war status of my opponent and where I might have a leg up, my PP leg leaves a lot to be desired, whereas my opponent shows all the evidence of being overpowerful. If the kill/casualty ratio is an advantage to CP then I'll try to exploit it. The bar of a 1000 does not have a bar after that one way or the other, I consider the 1000 bar must be of the highest order for it to be included in the scripts, yes it may be simple to you, but it is of importance to CP (myself) if I know how to work it.

As a debt of gratitude, you deserve a much appreciated Thanks

You won't be able to "exploit" the way national morale gets calculated.

The only ways to go are:
1. to cause as much losses to the enemy as possible while trying to keep your own losses low
2. avoid losing PP by defending your cities
3. building the biggest army you can muster but keeping an eye on the upkeep cost: if you can't pay for your upkeep your morale goes down
