As the ancient saying goes, there is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.
To evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of two warriors seems simple enough.
Place the two warriors in the same area for a fight to the death, and the one who survives is undoubtedly the stronger one.
There is no dispute, and no need for discussion.
Because those who are already dead have no value in being compared to others.
However, such comparisons are only ideal and cannot actually happen.
Each warrior in the Nameless Fleet is a valuable resource, and it is impossible to allow such senseless consumption of personnel merely to determine their merits.
Therefore, the only alternative is to use simulated combat and have an intelligent system comprehensively score them, or to engage in training battles whose intensity is controlled so as not to be lethal.
But there is a new problem here.
