POSITIONAL MODEL WORKBENCH

See where the value lives.

Place pieces, alter movement rules, and tune the assumptions. The heatmap recalculates how the target Messiah’s value spreads across its field and how much of that field each player controls.

Target MessiahMoment

During an opponent’s action, the target Messiah’s value collapses onto its occupied square. Between actions and during its own response, value spreads across the current square and open destinations.

No piece currently controls this square.

For Messiah-field coverage, the target Messiah’s own outgoing attacks are excluded: after moving onto a field square it becomes the target on that square rather than its own defender.

PIECE OUTPUT

Contextual contribution

Each piece receives its standalone share of the Messiah field. Overlapping friendly influence is intentionally visible here, so these piece outputs should not be added together as a player total.

WHAT THIS VERSION CALCULATES

A visible hypothesis, not a hidden answer.

Messiah value is placed on the occupied square and divided evenly among currently open movement destinations. During an opponent’s action, it collapses onto the Messiah’s current square.

Control durability discounts future influence according to rule mutability and the number of intervening ray squares. Current-action control is undiscounted.

Contested control uses the adjustable piece values. Reserve value remains separate so we can compare immediate board control with one-action deployment potential.
