Building nukes makes you rate *lower* on the power chart, because the power factor ignores nukes. Fix that. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>

.TH Command POWER
|

.NA power "Display arbitrarily measured strengths of countries"
|
|
.LV Basic
|
|
.SY "power [new|update] [<NUM>|country <NATS>]"
|
|
The power report provides one view of national strengths.
|
|
It can be particularly helpful in planning defense strategies.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Normally, the last saved power report is shown.
|
|
The optional arguments \*Qnew\*U and \*Qupdate\*U request a new power
|
|
report based on up-to-date information.
|
|
This costs 10 BTUs.
|
|
The new report is saved for use by future power commands, except when
|
|
a deity uses \*Qupdate\*U. This lets deities examine up-to-date power
|
|
reports without affecting what players get to see.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If option AUTO_POWER is enabled, the command doesn't let you save new
|
|
power reports. Instead, the power report is updated automatically
|
|
right before the update.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the optional \*QNUM\*U argument is given, only the
|
|
top NUM entries in the power chart will be displayed. Note that for
|
|
deities, if you give a negative number, only the top NUM entries in
|
|
the power chart will be displayed, and the power number rating will
|
|
not be displayed.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the optional \*Qcountry\*U argument is given, then the information
|
|
is given for those particular countries.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In the power report the countries are listed
|
|
in order of decreasing \*Qpower factor\*U.
|
|
Powerless countries are not shown unless explicitly requested with the
|
|
\*Qcountry\*U argument.
|
|

|
|
The power report shows the following columns:
|
|
.s1
|
|
.in \w'money\0\0'u
|
|
.L sects
|
|
number of sectors
|
|
.L eff
|
|
average sector efficiency
|
|
.L civ
|
|
number of civilians
|
|
.L mil
|
|
number of military
|
|
.L shell
|
|
number of shells
|
|
.L gun
|
|
number of guns
|
|
.L pet
|
|
amount of petrol
|
|
.L iron
|
|
amount of iron
|
|
.L dust

.L pln

.L ship

|

.s1
|
|
The \*Qpower factor\*U is determined by the following equation:
|
|
.s1
|
|
.NF
|
|
power factor = ( power value of money
|
|
+ power value of sectors
|
|
+ power value of commodities in sectors
|
|
+ power value of commodities loaded on ships and land units)
|
|
* (20 + nation tech level) / 500
|
|
+ power value of ships, planes, land units and nukes
|
|
* (20 + their tech level) / 500
|
|
.FI
|
|
.s1
|
|
The power value of money is dollars / 100.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The power value of a sector is efficiency / 10.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The power value of a ship, plane, land unit or nuke is the power value
|
|
of the materials and money needed to build * efficiency / 100.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The power value of commodities is amount * type factor. \*Qshow
|
|
item\*U shows the type factor in column \*Qpower\*U.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Efficiency is in percent.
