I remember that someone once claimed that the nations ordering influences the result, or the speed of the army. I do not believe in either, but I wont do test runs to proof these claims wrong either... ...tell us the result if you do!

I have always thought that this was a mistake in game design. To be fair, the battle should first be resolved between the two invading nations and THEN the survivor fights against the province. Obviously this gives problems if more than 2 nations are invading at the same time, but I have never seen that happen before.

I think that this was fixed in one of the patches ... in the original Version of the game the intrinsic number of each nations was used!

good play
Liga

PS. I like the idea that a concurrent invasion of a land could be somewhere driven by a random factor ... if something of not random must be introduced I would like that the army with less strategic movement will go first (and fight the independents) ... if tied the biggest army will go Last (they have more explorators and are slower!)
