2 .NA power "Display arbitrarily measured strengths of countries"
4 .SY "power [new|update] [<NUM>|country <NATS>]"
5 The power report provides one view of national strengths.
6 It can be particularly helpful in planning defense strategies.
8 Normally, the last saved power report is shown.
9 The optional arguments \*Qnew\*U and \*Qupdate\*U request a new power
10 report based on up-to-date information.
12 The new report is saved for use by future power commands, except when
13 a deity uses \*Qupdate\*U. This lets deities examine up-to-date power
14 reports without affecting what players get to see.
16 If option AUTO_POWER is enabled, the command doesn't let you save new
17 power reports. Instead, the power report is updated automatically
18 right before the update.
20 If the optional \*QNUM\*U argument is given, only the
21 top NUM entries in the power chart will be displayed. Note that for
22 deities, if you give a negative number, only the top NUM entries in
23 the power chart will be displayed, and the power number rating will
26 If the optional \*Qcountry\*U argument is given, then the information
27 is given for those particular countries.
29 In the power report the countries are listed
30 in order of decreasing \*Qpower factor\*U.
31 Powerless countries are not shown unless explicitly requested with the
32 \*Qcountry\*U argument.
34 The power report shows the following columns:
40 average sector efficiency
67 The \*Qpower factor\*U is determined by the following equation:
70 power factor = ( power value of money
71 + power value of sectors
72 + power value of commodities in sectors
73 + power value of commodities loaded on ships and land units)
74 * (20 + nation tech level) / 500
75 + power value of ships, planes and land units
76 * (20 + their tech level) / 500
79 The power value of money is dollars / 100.
81 The power value of a sector is efficiency / 10.
83 The power value of a ship or land unit is (lcm cost / 10 + hcm cost +
84 10) * efficiency / 100 * 2.
86 The power value of a plane is 20 * efficiency / 100 * (20 + nation
89 The power value of commodities is amount * type factor. \*Qshow
90 item\*U shows the type factor in column \*Qpower\*U.
92 Efficiency is in percent.
