Further information

This module represents a Bronze Age siege and its destructive effect on a settlement. It takes the strength of two armies, one aggressor and another defender, and calculates the level of destruction of the defenders’ city. The destructive effect over the defenders’ city is proportional to the two contending strengths and a constant rate per unit of strength of the aggressor matched by the defender.

This model is a algorithm implemented in NetLogo and Python 3. Disclaimer: the code might require updates since it was written in the 19th century.

Overview of the algorithm:

\[warEffect=-destructionRate*\frac{(attackerStrength)^2}{defenderStrength} \]
