Income breakdown is too complicated.: 2025-06-15 11:50:55

Hey,
Can somebody help me with this game?
Seems like the game is giving me one army less starting from turn 1 (Not the fault of the game I'm sure, but don't know where I'm making mistake). Like its not counting the first bonus I completed.

Income breakdown seems to count the bonus, but when I calculate, seems like I'm getting 1 less army every turn.
Bonus is not modified, and income breakdown seems too complex.

Thank you!

Base income in that game is 5, so on turn 1 you had +1 income from all the bonuses you owned combined and your opponent had +2.

Did you notice the table on the side of the map?

That's not turn 1, that's the start of the game...

Oh yeah my bad, typed a 1 instead of a 0, good catch.

Still, do you understand the bonus system fully?

Turn 0
red (2 terr = +1) + blue (1 terr = +0) = +1

Turn 1
blue (1 terr = +0) + red (6 terr = +5) + blue (1 terr = +0) = +5

Turn 2
blue (1 terr = +0) + red (6 terr = +5) + blue (2 terr = -1) + red (1 terr = -1) = +3

Turn 3
blue (2 terr = -1) + red (6 terr = +5) + blue (2 terr = -1) + red (2 terr = +1) = +4

Yeah but from turn 1, you are missing what I said in the original post, that the first bonus I conquered, is not being counted, but shown in the income breakdown. Name of the bonus is Masvingo. By capturing all the territories in it, it should give me +1 for it. It says it in the income breakdown, but still I'm not getting it...

Ah I see the confusion now, the Masvingo bonus on the map is purely there as a visual indicator of where the bonus is (and for WZ to show a bonus, it needs to have a non-zero bonus value).

As you have seen, the bonus system itself has a lot of little bonuses that all add up to the correct total. The value of bonus R6_Mas is 1 less than it should have been to end up with the correct income, so together with the 1 income from Masvingo you end up with the total income of +5 for that red bonus.

EDIT:
Generally speaking, as soon as a map has a special bonus system (so INSS, Landria-style, or one of the bonus systems Orannis made up) the income breakdown tends to only cause confusion due to the large number of negative and positive bonuses that are needed to make the income system work under the hood.

Okay so from what I understand, those territorial bonuses don't count, just the red and blue chart does...
Thank you!
