Before I figured out the calculation behind this I was only going up by one every game (but I also didn't rush the AI)

After two games I was at 149 (went up 5 levels each). I started out with my Automatic rating at 139 yesterday morning before putting this to the test.

You could throw and lose the entire North Korean Army at the AI, netting a horrible combat efficiency and probably total score in comparison, but just so long as your total resources were greater than the other AI (or AI team), you're gravy. Guess what? It's entirely seeded by your total resources. While I was tracking down this code I also came across the code which determines how much of a +/- you get towards your "Automatic" difficulty in the Skrimish game mode (which sadly can only be played with/against AI). Earlier this week when I was asked how part of the game scoring worked in MP games.
