Everyone starts with 50
. At the end of each round, players earn points based on the number of centers they control above the average for their country. For example, if Russia is eliminated in 2 games and the third player playing Russia ends the game with 3 centers, then I pool the average of all Russian performances. The average would be 1 center. Therefore, the two players that were eliminated receive -1 point and the Russian with 3 centers would earn 2
.
It compares your performance against the others playing that same country.
After the second round of games, I will have 6 games I use to tally averages, and after the third round, I will have 9 games, so yes, solos count for a huge margin, unless of course all Russian players soloed.
