Introduction
Players are awarded victory points for Galaxy and GalaxyNG games based on the number of players in each game and their effective industry at the end of the game. Only active members of the winning alliance receive victory points. If the winning alliance is unknown, all active surviving players receive victory points.
Standard victory points are calculated as number-of-players/finish-position. For example, in a game with 20 players, first place receives 20/1=20 points, second place receives 20/2=10 points, third place receives 20/3=6.66 points, and so forth. Standard victory points awarded for a game increase if more players are in the winning alliance. For example, a 40 player game with one winner awards 40 points to the victor. The same game won by a five-player alliance awards 40 points to first place, 20 points to second place, 13.33 points to third place, 10 points to fourth place, and 8 points to fifth place for a total of 91.33 points.
Industry victory points are calculated as (number-of-players*effective-industry)/total-effective-industry where total effective industry is the sum of the effective industry of winning players. For example, in a game with 20 players, three winning players with 50,000, 30,000 and 2,000 effective industry would receive 20*50,000/82,000=12.19 points, 20*30,000/82,000=7.32 points, and 20*2,000/82,000=0.49 points, respectively. Industry victory points awarded for a game always equal the number of players in the game. For example, a 40 player game with one winner awards 40 points to the victor. A five-player alliance winning the same game share 40 points based on each player's percentage of the total effective industry.
