Multi-Attack Protection (MAP)
| This is part of the Utopia WIKI Mini Guide Series. |

Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) (formerly known as Gangbang Protection GBP) is a game mechanism introduced which aims to increase the protection conferred to Provinces which have been recently hit.
Current MAP Status/Level can bee seen under Affairs of the State.
Failed Attacks also increase the MAP of the defender, based on relative Offense sent/Defense, linearly scaling from 0 to half the amount of MAP generated on a successful Traditional March.

Effects of MAP
- Aid Tax is capped at 15% (vs a max of 99%) once above 25% MAP.
- The more MAP on your Province, the less an Attack will gain from you - all other variables being equal.
- Increases Military Efficiency.
- Reduced Military Casualties equal to Gains reduction
- MAP rounds off to the nearest percentage (eg. it can be 20% or 21% but not 20.5%)
- MAP is almost negligible in War.

Attacking MAP Change
Land Attacks
A land attack (Traditional March, Raze or Conquest) increases the MAP rating by 2.75 * Percent of Targets land taken.
For example if a target is attacked for 120 of its 1000 acres (12%) its MAP/GBP rating will increase by(12% * 2.75 = 33%) 33 points, taking it from 0% to 33% if previously un hit - enough to put it into the 'moderately hit' section.
Non-Land Attacks
Non-Land Attacks (Plunder or Massacre) increase the MAP/GBP rating by 0.06 * Current Gains OOW Learn increases the MAP/GBP rating by 0.12 * Current Gains OOW
For example if a target with a MAP rating of 20% (and thus Gains OOW of 80%) which is hit for a Plunder, it will boost its GBP by (0.06 * 80% = 4.8% rounded off) 5% to 25%.
Note: Bounced Attacks generate MAP/GBP based on relative Offense/Defense, up to 1/4 of the normal MAP/GBP generated on a successful Attack.
MAP Decay
- MAP rating naturally decreases every hour by an amount dependent on the current MAP rating as shown in the above table. For example if the MAP rating is currently 59% (heavily hit), on the next hour change it will decrease by 2% to 57%.
- MAP also decays whenever the province with MAP makes an attack by the same amount as if it had made the attack on itself - except that it decreases the MAP rating rather than increasing it.
Military Effectiveness
MAP gives a bonus to Military Effectiveness equal to the MAP rating / 7.5
For example if the MAP rating of a province is 59% (heavily hit) their ME is boosted by (59 / 7.5 = 7.9%) 7.9% - ie. 1.079 times it's current rating.
