Default Re: Are negative VP costs possible?

I have a scenario where I used reverse Polish logic because I wanted civilian casualties to count against the player.

What I did was use the editor to make all the enemy combat units zero cost/value and increase the cost/value of civilian units. Also I used only a single victory hex (so the AI knows where to go) with a zero value. Then made it clear as I could in the scenario notes you "won" this battle by losing (i.e. having the lowest possible score).

I can't say as it work "well" ... but it works.
