How to calculate MPPS

Post by Hairog »

I am looking for a detailed report on the different countries MPPs and how they are calculated. I can't seem to find it. I swear I used to see it flash by at the end of a turn but it's no longer showing up.

Anyone know what happened to it or where I can find out the breakdown of a countries MPPs?

Thanks in advance.

There are some graphs in the Reports Tab, and the end of each turn total is displayed for your side, but that is all that I have ever seen.

Hi Harry

It sounds like you might have turned off the end of turn reports in the Options screen?

Turn them back on and you should see these again.

Thanks Bill but I can't seem to find the option to turn it on or off. Could you point me in the right direction.

Actually you're right, other messages can be turned off but the end of turn MPP summary isn't optional, so I don't know why you might not be seeing it.

If you were to do a fresh reinstall of the game then hopefully it'll come back?

Bill,

Sometimes if you are 'late' clicking on other pop-ups to remove them it carries the click-off forward.
I've missed the MPP Summary as it flashes very briefly on such occasions.

It is annoying. I use the spacebar but it does the same thing.

I use the windows 10 "Snipping Tool" to capture a screenshot of the MPP screen as it flashes by. then I view on my 2nd monitor

Good suggestion but I can get the actual number easily from the "Reports" chart.

What I want to know is how many MPPs are from towns, cities, ports, oil, etc. and in the case of occupied countries how much for each of their resources.
