We need to be able to have movable targets on the nodes.

These movable targets will move on their own as defenders, and attackers move.
These moving targets increase the value of a circle.

These characters can't move into the destroyed areas.

One possibility is to have a total Score S, and a number of nodes N. The value S can be scholastically distributed across the N nodes (however each node may have a base value). When a node is successfully destroyed, the attacker gains the value of that node, call it V. The remaining S-V available points are redistributed among the remaining N-1 nodes. The base values should be preserved, and possibly there should be some migration rule for how the score migrates away from a destroyed.

[rostrage]

When rendering the nodes, should we display the sum of the base value of the node and the portion of S designated to the node, or just the base value of the node. Also, should S be re-allocated amongst the nodes every turn, or only when one is destroyed.

[ssugrim]

I think the answer is to display the sum. And S should be reallocated every
turn although the pattern of redistribution might change with node
destruction.

Perhaps initially We can have 5% of the high score migrate in a loop, at
various intervals, a simulation of people roaming around the station. Lets
say that the Foyer has a High base Value because it is an entry point. It
also receives a big initial portion of S, since it is the entry way. Then
at the beginning of turn 1, 5% of the foyers N_i value (S = N from the
previous note, sorry about the inconsistent notation) moves to an adjacent
node. That value then starts looping around the map. At the beginning of
turn 3, perhaps a smaller percentage take a different loop. We'd need to
define these loops and what their characteristics are.
