gorski Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 The HQ's supply level is not (city size)-(distance from city). How are HQ supply levels calculated?(including HQ's supplying each other) Where are the convoy hexes? So far I have heard 'within 5 hexes of certain ports' Gorski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Patch Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 HQ always get a minimum of 5 supply, and units tracing supply soley from an HQ get a supply level based upon how far away they are from the closest HQ - so that an adjacent unit would be a 4 supply, one hex away 3 supply, etc. It doesn't appear that HQ's are cumulative (ie. if you are adjacent two you aren't 8 supply), you just get the best one. No idea about the convoy lanes. I do know that the west coast of Ireland is a barren area, though. Great place to hide from the AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 If an HQ is more than 10 hexes from a friendly city of size 10, it's supply will be 5. Within 10 hexes, the supply is 10. Terrain and intervening enemy-owned hexes do play a role, however. If you're more than 4 hexes from a friendly city of size 5, your supply is 5. If within 4 hexes, it's 8. At first I thought that HQs might form a supply chain (e.g. string a number of them within 'X' hexes of each other and they will all be at supply level 10 from beginning to end), but that doesn't appear to be the case. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
