Scipio Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Currently we have all units available in Quick Battles (human purchase) - maybe it would be a nice addition to let the computer restrict this? It was - especially for the late Axis forces - normal that a lot of units were only limited available. Of course it's possible to make an auto purchase, but IMO that feature doesn't work very good. I prefer to select the forces on my own. To avoid an advantage in PBEM for the one who make the setup, an additional file transfer would be senseful. After calculating the map and the available units, the files goes to the opponent, and he make the purchase first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 In addition, would it be possible to limit the likelyhood of getting the Puma and its coiterations to something like the actual usage and general availability when the computer purchases units. It seems I always end up with several of them in my QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some units like the Puma are very cheap and effective, and so they can be seen often in CM - but they were very rare on the real battlefield.

JasonC Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 There will be optional rariety systems in CM2, the Russian front version. BTS has said one option will have fixed rariety, where the costs of units will be higher for whatever isn't "vanilla" in that time and place and side. Another rariety setting will be variable, with some units more "available" than others, and thus relative bargains, price-wise. And third one can just turn the rariety off.

Triumvir Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Not to mention that the last QB I played against the AI had the AI picking 4 Jacksons in a 1000 pt armour game... a _little_ gamey, I thought. Also, playing against someone in another armour game, the AI bought my opponent a Veteran Panther, Hetzer and 250/9 (the one with the 75mm) plus a platoon of VG SMGs against me having two Regular Shermans, one Jeep MG, 1 M3 and 1 platoon of infantry... Ouch doesn't begin to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank destroyer platoons consisted of 4 vehicles, and Jacksons were not particularly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tools4fools Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 **** Another rariety setting will be variable, with some units more "available" than others, and thus relative bargains, price-wise. **** This rariety setting will be important; Otherwise in a QB we would see 5 or 6 T-34 command tanks with radio instead of one command T-34 and 6 regular T-34's without radio!
