    SC Economics

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    Bill, I MAY be wrong, but I believe it was said that as soon as you spend points for a unit... poof, there it is.

    However, the time spent saving up the points to purchase the unit can be seen as production time, in a sort of abstract sense.

I've come to the conclusion that if the intent was to have some UK units represent Canadians fighting overseas, and to have the Canadian army and corps that begin in Canada represent "home defence" forces consisting of second rate troops, then it actually makes good sense.

    This was what I was thinking too.

    It seems like everything is basically OK as they are in SC.

    The long, slow wait for "early Summer"

    Too pass the time...

    I've been playing CM a lot more.

    I just rented the Spider-MAn game for my PS2, that will pass a few days.

    I've been reading We Were Soldiers Once, and I bought MArine SNiper, and Bravo Two Zero. None of them are WWII books, but they still somewhat satisfy that hunger.

    Once all that runs out, I sure hope to be playing the DEMO... I'll also be taking a trip to the library for some true SC themed books.

    The three icons that change over time and that are dependant on research are the "tank", "airfleet" and "strategic bombers" icons. These change as you develop 'heavy tanks', 'jet aircraft' and 'heavy bombers' research

    Thanks for the reply Hubert!

    That leaves some room for some pretty sweet MODS I'll bet.

    I'm still perfectly happy with things the way they appear now, but then I haven't seen what MOD'ers will do once they get hold of the game.

    As this has apparently not been a problem in the BETA testing, I don't see that it will be a problem in the game... CERTAINLY not a game breaking problem!

    I like the system. It seems to be a good, yet simple answer.

    Sometimes the command structure breaks down even within a single countries units! On a much smaller scale, take for example the problems faced with coordinating both the Rangers and the Delta boys in the novel Black Hawk Down.

    I completely agree with this system. I don't see that much benefit would be realistically gained from disbanding an experienced unit compared to a green one.

    An Observation

    That other game is "real-time" if I read correctly, so I have no interest. Plus, this game seems to have SO much play value!

    I also support Airborne units to eventually make an appearance in SC. I hope it happens in a patch, instead of having to wait a couple of years for SC2, which probably won't run on my PC.

    I totally understand how the WEGO system would not be at all suitable for this type of game.

    As has been said before, if someone REALLY needs to cheat, they will find a way. I would put a little effort into making it a little harder to do, but don't waste a ton of time with it!

    Also, if someone is that insecure, they will accuse you of cheating just for doing well, no matter how hard it is to actually cheat.

    Years ago, I was accused of cheating at StarCraft, because I had left little marine "spies" around the map so I knew what the enemy was up to. I was often accused of having some type of map cheat that removed FOW. :rolleyes:

    Some people will have a problem with the cheating potential. I usually play against people I feel I can trust (and of course, just for fun) so it won't bother me too much.

    On one side, it may be easy to tell if someone is cheating early, if everything goes unbelieveably well for them.

    On the other hand, we may get alot of people yelling CHEATING simply because they suck. tongue.gif

    Also, will there be some sort of report at the beginning of your turn, so you know what happened during the other players turn? Or will you just have to look for the missing units? :confused:

    Mr. C,

    At the beginning of each turn, there is a report of the enemy's transgressions.</font>
