it seems arbitrary.

perhaps it could eventually be removedÉ

no one ever knew and we most certainly will never find out what the exact definition of the points is. I know it has something to do with winning and loosing LGs and/or attacks.

i remember we came to the conclusion of that john, the better you did at grabbing IE ( higher grabs 1000+) the more points you got, same with the more time u were victorious in defending against attacks, but if u were defeated alot, bot offensively and defensively you lost points, i dont know if anything else effects it

Are you guys talking about the points where everyone starts off at 500? I was almost certain that was calculated by when you attacked someone with a higher NW and succeeded you gained 1 point, and when you attacked and failed or were attacked by a lower NW you'd lose 1 point...

Yeah PC you are correct...it was affected by grabs and war attacks. (similar to the Off/Def % like in NW I & II)

But I don't think it affected being able to break or defend easier.

using the points is a pretty decent way to grab, used to do it all the time. only attack the people with higher points and used to get some great grabs when it looked like i shouldnt have.

I always ended at 490 or lower :D

I'm the defensive type, almost never attack

I'm pretty sure Oogla has it right on.

States with 500+ usually are war states, or states with huge amounts of infantry. States with 500- either got owned in a war or are ship/jet heavy.

I remember states with 600-700 points were almost always war states.
