@iratoric I was thinking the same.

Russia's nominal income is huge at 165 IPC (excluding Serbia). It is the penalty that makes them weaker than Germany and even weaker than France later. If the Allies capture the Dardanelles and Constantinople, the income debuffs Russia receives should periodically decrease and eventually be removed realistically. But at that point, the game would already be over.

Round 1 (20 Aug14): -50
Round 2 (10 Dec 14): -52
Round 3 (30 Mar 15):-56
Round 4 (20 July 15): -60
Round 5 (10 Nov 15): -65
Round 6 (28 Feb 16):-70
Round 7 (20 Jun 16):-75
Round 8 (10 Oct 16): -80
Round 9 (30 Jan 17): -90
Round 10 (20 May 17): -110
Round 11: (10 Sep 17)-130
Round 12 (30 Dec 1917): -150

That debuff continuing even if the Allies succeed does not make sense either. So the game should end with an Allied victory even if they control only one capital.

The US will join in round 9 with a similar debuff to represent their mobilization process. Instead, their debuff will decrease gradually and be removed totally.

Round 9: -90
Round 10:-80
Round 11: -65
Round 12: -50
Round 13: -35
Round 14: -25
Round 15: -15
Round 16: -10
Round 17: -5
Round 18: 0

The game is supposed to last 15 to 18 rounds.

@Schulz Looks good. I had an interesting idea. I remember how you wanted to have Russia get more of a debuff every round (like -10 pts, -20 pts). What if you tied that into whether or not the Allies control Gallipoli/Constantinople? Because a large part of the reason for that attack was getting relief to Russia. So every round that the Ottomans control the Turkish straits, the worse the blockade gets for Russia.

Done.

@Schulz The Carpathians should not pass to the north of Galats, they don’t do that in any map I’ve seen
