Create applet to calculate cultural influence

[kingjon3377]

In the map format, village allegiance is currently a discrete value---either a village is allied to the player being considered, or it is allied to someone else, or it is independent. I'd like to have some way of calculating "cultural influence" based on various factors.

I will probably prototype the calculations in a spreadsheet, but in the end I want to have it here (most likely an applet in the query app) because I will very often want to see it for all of a player's villages, or all villages near a player's fortress(es), at once, and distance from fortresses will be an important factor in the calculation; to do it properly in a spreadsheet I'd need something here to export villages and distances from each fortress anyway.
