Hi All,
I'm absolutely loving the game. It has the perfect balance of simplicity and complexity. I could go on and on... needless to say i'm very impressed.
I have a couple random questions that i was interested to know more about.
1) I'm a numbers guy, what are the detailed factors that influence a units readiness and morale? And how these numbers increase or decrease from turn to turn. I'm guessing supply makes a big difference. Being attached to a HQ? The rating of the HQ's leader? Distance from a HQ? The experience level of a HQ? What about things like proximity to friendly units? Proximity to enemy units? Weather? I guess i'm interested to know a bit more detail about how morale and readiness work so i can play more knowledgeably paying attention to the factors that influence these values.
2) Another numbers related question. How does readiness and morale influence the power of a units attack? Or its defensive capabilities? I know they're important. Is one value more important than the other?
3) I am pleased to say i find the AI challenging. I've been playing the Central Powers in the WWI Call to Arms scenario and its a slog making much progress forward which is very realistic. When folks are playing the AI and want a challenge what difficulty and experience bonus do most people pick? Which is a better bonus to give the AI between the two? For my game i have a +50 difficulty bonus, but didn't increase the experience the AI gets.
Much appreciated.
