About this I wrote petition #8700 ... Why all sov was totally rescinded? One level on one of my sov claims de levelled would be enough to get my RP back to positive. Something is seriously wrong in sov de-levelling algorithm.

Suggestion then:

(a) When sovereignty is no longer sustainable (due to gold or research being zero, and resource-per-hour being negative), then activate 'Cancel Sovereignty' for as many squares as needed to make the relevant resource-per-hour positive. Do in this order, until satisfied:
  • Sov Levels 2 and 3 where no building is present,
  • Diplo Production Bonuses,
  • Military production bonuses,
  • Advanced Resource production bonuses,
  • Basic Resource bonuses,
  • Sov Levels 4 and 5 where no building is present,
  • Sov Level 1 where no building is present.
(b) Patch up the existing cities affected by this. Those squares are incurring charges, so I think all the data is there for fixing -- if the flags are lost, then they could be recovered by testing for +res/hr (the condition that led to the fail).

yeah that kind of algorithm would be better rather than rescind all sov... 

I would add distance factor to sov de levelling algorithm. More distant sov claims should be delevelled prior to near ones, since more distant ones require more gold and research point upkeep.

With such algorithm I would lost only 1 lvl 3 military sov including sov building... Nothing serious.

I would add instead that they be ordered by gold/research (whichever is deficient) maintenance cost, within each group.

This gives a little finer control over the ordering of sovereignty calculations. e.g.
  • It still means that if you have an outlying basic resource bonus, it won't be chosen before a nearby diplo production boost.
  • But if you have a choice of (for example) military squares to downgrade, we choose the most distant one. By keeping to the groupings, we won't lose the square outright, because we're choosing L1 sovereignty claims last.

Revised list - downgrade sov squares in this order:
  1. Sov levels 3 and 2:
    1. No building present
    2. Diplo/Military production building
    3. Military production building
    4. Advanced Resource production building
  2. Sov levels 5 and 4:
    1. No building present
    2. Diplo production building
    3. Military production building
    4. Advanced Resource production building
    5. Basic Resource production building*
  3. Sov level 1:
    1. No building present
    2. Diplo production building
    3. Military production building
    4. Advanced Resource production building
  4. Sov levels 3 and 2:
    1. Basic Resource production building*
  5. Sov level 1:
    1. Basic Resource production building*
Within each line above, start with the costliest square for the depleted resource.

* Don't downgrade a square if it is boosting the depleted resource.
