SuperTed Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by BloodyBucket: Really, no lag time at all? :confused: BB, Correct. I know it would be cool to have that extra layer of planning ahead, but this is one of those "Features vs. Simplicity" issues. EDIT: Let me clarify that a bit. Larger units are more expensive, forcing a player to accumulate more MPPs. For example a German aircraft carrier is 700 MPPs, but they start the game collecting only 120 MPPs per turn. So, you can see it would take a long time just to afford that one unit. I suppose that would be something of an abstract way to address the issue.

Titan Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 ok, to me that sounds suitable enough.Seems costs is in realation to reality or of some conseqence if one starts buying big ticket items. Id hate to think one could buy x2 carriers a battleship and few planes and a spread of ground troops in one turn unless we are talking about the US or you own half of Europe So buying a carrier one would have to sacrife a great deal. Anyway Super Ted when is the next AAR im dying to read how the germans are dancing in London or the allies celebrate in the smoking ruins of Berlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
