In the rule “Auctions” replace “the highest bid of Money plus Power” with “the highest bid of Money plus Adjusted Power, which is the Power bid multiplied by the Weighted Power Factor,”
After “Updating the Estates of the Winners to list the Items that they have won” add a new step “Adjust the Weighted Power Factor in accordance to the Weighted Power Factor sub rule”
Add a new sub rule to “Auctions” called “Weighted Power Factor” and give it the following text
The Weighted Power Factor is an rational value tracked on the Nobleman page of the wiki with a default value of one.
To Adjust the Weighted Power Factor, Louis XIV adds the total amount of Debt bid by all Noblemen in the auction they are resolving (D) and compares it to the total Weighted Power Factor bid by all Noblemen in the same auction (P)
If D at least twice the value of P, the Weighted Power Factor is increased by 0.2. Otherwise, if D is at least 125% the value of P, the Power Weighted Factor is increased by 0.1
If P at least twice the value of D, the Weighted Power Factor is reduced by 0.2. Otherwise, if P is at least 125% the value of D, the Power Weighted Factor is reduced by 0.1
I don’t think we need to weight prestige. Prestige can be a currency that is earned rather than one that is spent. And if we aren’t weighting prestige, we don’t need separate weights for Debt and Power we can just have one weight for Power that goes up if people bid a lot of debt and goes down if instead people are bidding power until an equilibrium point is reached
I just don’t see the point of adjusting the weights (so slowly).
