Last-Side-Wins Scorekeeper

The most common form of scoring in Xconq is called last-side-wins. It is basically a fight to the death; any side that loses all of its units loses the game, and the last side with any units remaining is declared the winner. It is possible that more than one side will lose all of its units at the same time, in which case Xconq declares a draw.

Since this would sometimes lead to bizarre stalemates (a submarine could hide at sea, thus preventing the side from losing, for instance), many games also define point values for units. In such cases, last-side-wins makes a side lose when the sum of point values of all its units is zero, and the interface will have some way to display your current points. By default, each unit of each type has a point value of 1; many games will define point values that apply to all units of the same type. Some games may also define special point values for individual units.
