Villengard algorithm: Difference between revisions

The '''Villengard algorithm''' managed the behaviour of [[Villengard Corporation]] equipment, such as the [[Villengard Automated Ambulance Unit]]s and the [[Villengard smartmine]]s. During the conflict on [[Kastarion 3]] the algorithm kept casualty rates to an acceptable standard, while minimizing the cost of treatment. By accepting some casualties as reasonable and letting [[Anglican Marine]]s die rather than heal them, to minimize cost, the algorithm's actions led to the Anglican Marines believing that they were fighting a war against a hostile enemy, the [[Kastarion]]s. This in turn set in motion a war of attrition against their own hardware, grinding themselves down just enough to keep themselves engaged, keep the combat ongoing, and keep the money flowing to [[Villengard]].
