This question has emerged while playing and measuring score for advancing in tournament by victory points.
The problem in VP calculations are VP gained for stockade capturing. For every stockade lost, a player looses 6 VP.
Capturing the city of Richmond brings 0 VP whatsoever besides 5 VP for capturing Ft Richmond, the same amount as for capturing some lone stockade in the Far West. This is way off and does not feel right. Defeating an enemy and inflicting him 20.000 casualties will give 0 VP as long as he hasn't lost any element.
It seems more important who has captured a stockade then who has won Gettysburg type battle.
I firmly believe there is room for improvement here.
I can see 2 possible solutions for this:
1) Have autogarrisons spawn with 100% chance in stockades, or
2) Remove VP value from stockades.
What do you think about this problem and proposed solution. Do you have another proposal. Please participate in the discussion.
