  • Each team receives one bonus award from the following list (the largest award for which the team qualifies):

STAMPEDE

All MWC99 Stampede games will be scored as follows:

  • If neither team gets any animals to the goal, the game is a tie and nobody gets any points.
  • Otherwise, the team that wins the game according to the postgame stats gets 5 points.
  • Each team receives 3 points for every 20% of the maximum animals that they manage to get into the goal. Unlike other games, a fraction of 20% does receive points. So if Team A gets 12 of 16 pigs into the goal, this is 75% = 20% + 20% + 20% + 15% = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 points.
  • Note that if a team trades for less than the maximum number of animals on a map, they can't get the maximum number of points. But, they will have more troops than their opponent, so they're more likely to win (if not by so great a margin as they could have). Teams should make their own tradeoff on this one.

The maximum score possible in Stampede is 20.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

All MWC99 Capture the Flag games will be scored as follows:

  • Each team receives 1 point for each 10% of the friendly force remaining at the end of the game.
  • Each team receives one bonus award from the following list (the largest award for which the team qualifies):
  • 0 points if the enemy flag is never contested.
  • 2 points if the enemy flag is contested by any unit.
  • 5 points if the enemy flag is contested by a force at least 50% as strong as the flag's defenders.
  • 8 points if the enemy flag is contested by a force at least 75% as strong as the flag's defenders.
  • 10 points if the enemy flag is contested by a force stronger that the flag's defenders.
  • 10 points if the enemy flag is captured but then lost again.
  • 15 points if the enemy flag is captured and held until the end of the game.

The maximum score possible in Capture the Flag is 25.

The determination of relative strength of attackers and defenders for purposes of the bonus awards made in Capture the Flag and Balls on Parade games will be based on unit trading point value. The flag's defenders include all units that contribute to the flag's defense by: 1) being within contesting range of the flag; 2) engaging in melee combat with the assault force during its attack; or 3) attacking the assault force with ranged attacks or being attacked by the assault force's ranged attacks. An assault force includes all units that engage the flag's defenders, with melee combat or ranged attacks.

All such determinations are made during the period of time that the flag is contested. Forces that are destroyed before the flag is contested, or after the flag is no longer contested, are not included in the strength determination.

For example, a force of 12 warriors and 4 heron guards (point value: 36) attacks a flag defended by 15 thrall, 2 dwarves, and 4 archers (point value: 39). If the flag is contested by any of the attacking units at any time, the attacker qualifies for the bonus of 8 points for contesting with a force at least 75% as strong as the defending force. Note that the entire force need not get into contesting range, as long as they are all contributing to the assault. However, if some of the attacking force was ordered to attack and delay a group of 16 thrall moving to reinforce the flag while the battle continued, the thrall would be included in the defenders, reducing the bonus to 5 points since 36 is only 65% of 55.

NEW: The bonuses for flag capture have been changed slightly to allow for the possibility of flag-swapping. Now, if teams swap flags and the game then ends, both teams will get the 15 point award (plus some for troops remaining). But if they swap flags and one team then manages to retake its home flag, they will be at 15 + troops left while the other team is at 10 + troops left.

In the case of any dispute, the final determination of bonus awards in games of Capture the Flag will be made by the Triumvirate.

BALLS ON PARADE

All MWC99 Balls on Parade games will be scored in an identical fashion to the corresponding Capture the Flag game.
