Ah, I missed the script you posted before, and it wasn’t clear to me what you meant by “root degree”, you meant polynomial. Your formula is, for p>T, P=T+(p-T)^1/H, where P are the effective capture points, p the capture points to modify, T “threshold points” (what would be my C) and G is “diminish strength” (what would be my S). So, you have 2 independent parameters and a region condition, and I have 3 independent parameters, and no region condition. The issue is, your formula will still be visually non-linear, because you calculate effective capture points in two different regions, while I calculate only one effective rate, making the observed behavior linear. Another problem your formula has is that your T is not that intuitive as a normal/fast discriminator as my C (that’s why you have to use T=90 when P=3000, while I use C=300 when I want my threshold to be around there). Of course the advantage of your equation is that it’s easier to understand just by looking at it (and maybe easier to implement, depending on how rates can be directly handled).

Thanks but that formula is too hard to work with as it has too many parameters. The root degree I'm proposing only take 1, and produce a perfectly customizable and predictable diminishing return. We're not trying to revise capture again, just have a tool to make it less likely to instant capture certain buildings. You can already add capture resistance that seems to be subtracted from every capture attack. But that's obviously not going to help our case. Yes! No idea why it's set so low currently 

I'd say "Must Have"s and "Release Blocker"s should have the next release as milestone. The others should be backlogged.

How's this going? I'd be happy to help, I'm quite into mythology. I like the name. My (I hope small) criticism is that Leonidas and Alexander are too historical, seem out of place, I'd keep it mythological, after all Greek mythology has five ages: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Heroic and Iron, and it seems to me you'll be concentrating on the Heroic Age. There are plenty of heroes and demi-gods to take from. Also, Pan is a god, he's the only Greek god that, according to tradition (or misunderstanding), died, 2000 years ago. Very different from the monsters that actually died all the time. Atlas is not a friend of men, nor a god, but a titan being punished. In the Odyssey (https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0136%3Abook%3D1%3Acard%3D44) it says “Atlas of baneful mind”, and of course there’s the Labours of Hercules story where (on some versions) when he arrives to the garden of the Hesperides, he finds Atlas holding up the sky, and asks him for help to get the golden apples in exchange of holding the sky for him for a bit, and when Atlas returns with the apples he betrays Hercules and tells him he doesn’t want to hold the sky anymore, but titans apparently are not so bright since Hercules tells him basically “ok, but hold it for me for a bit so I can adjust my cloak, if I’m going to stay here holding the sky after all”, to which Atlas agreed and Hercules just walked away. In any case, clearly a wicked being holding the sky not out of the goodness of his heart. Regarding his classification as a god, well, maybe that’s closer than anything, since titans would be deities, and “Deities, Men and Monsters” doesn’t have the same ring to it, I guess.
