As part of finally making the code changes for the Last Battle, I played with some numbers and came up with the new starting points for the Last Battle.
When the last Seal breaks, a "Clan Battle" type fight will start between the Light and the Shadow. Each side will start with points based on the following conditions:
These points are figured before any cities/businesses/estates/etc are destroyed, so that means there's up to 20,000 points that could be awarded at the start of the battle (less if some cities are ruled by neutral clans, as no points are awarded to either side. While that seems like a lot, keep in mind the battle will run for 7 days. That will likely be a drop in the bucket by the time is all said and done. Also note that the Shadow no longer gets points for the 2 cities that are destroyed at the start of the Last Battle. They only get points for the ones destroyed due to unchecked mega-hordes. Speaking of which, I did some math and figured that amount of points awarded for hordes were too low based on the number of turns that would likely be spent to drop them, so I upped them:
When the last Seal breaks, a "Clan Battle" type fight will start between the Light and the Shadow. Each side will start with points based on the following conditions:
- +500 to the Light for each city ruled by a Light or Lean Light clan when the last Seal breaks.
- +500 to the Shadow for each city ruled by a Shadow or Lean Shadow clan when the last Seal breaks.
- +1000 to the side that has the most members that are Lean or better (+300 or more for Light, -300 or less for Shadow)
- +1000 to the side that has the highest level player
- +1000 to the side that has the player with the most Ji
- +1000 to the side that has the player with the most Achievements
- +1000 to the side that has the player with the most Wins
- +1000 to the side that has the player with the highest net worth
- +1000 to the side that has the player with the most quests completed
- +1000 to the side that has the clan with the highest Ji (If highest is neutral, no points to either side)

- +2500 to the Light for each Horde defeated
- +1750 to the Shadow for each Army defeated
- +1750 to the Shadow for each Horde that destroys a city
