Edwin P. Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Overall I like SC, its fast, playable, balanced and interesting. One or Two players can complete a game in a reasonable amount of time. Paraphrasing what Bill Macon said, in SC2 I would like to see it retain the same basic system and playability while adding; 1. Diplomacy 2. Few More Unit Types & Techs - Marines - Engineers - Decoy Units to fool air spotters </font>Defence 0, Attack 0, AP 2, Cost 25MPP</font> - Intelligence/Code Breaking Tech </font>Tech 0 - 0% per unit to reveal location of enemy unit for 1 turn</font>Tech 1 - 2% per unit to reveal location of enemy unit for 1 turn</font>Tech 2 - 4% per unit to reveal location of enemy unit for 1 turn</font>Tech 3 - 8% per unit to reveal locaion of enemy unit(s) for 1 turn</font>Tech 4 - 16% per unit to reveal location of enemy unit for 1 turn</font>Tech 5 - 32% per unit to reveal location of enemy unit for 1 turn</font>- Winter Preparation Tech to negate winter effects - Partisan Support Tech > Increases chance for partisans in conquered nations - Norway,Greece, France, Sweden, Spain, UK, Turkey - Army/Corps/Fleet Unit Commanders with penalties/bonuses option 3. Improved AI - More canned strategies - AI online updates (log in and down load new AI rountines/canned strategies) - AI Strategy Editor so players can try new AI strategies - AI gets smarter as Intelligence Rating Increases (ie Beginner > Intermediate > Expert). 4. Map - Larger Europe / Global Map at the same/larger scale. - Limited Weather Effects (ie Ice in Artic sea, snow in Russia), Air Range reduced by 100%, Operating costs increase by 100% in winter zones during winter. Movement increase by 100% in winter zones. - A few Changes - ie North Sea Transit Hex if map stays the same, two way Suez tansit, minor ports 5. More variablity and less predictability - Selectable merchant ship convoy routes - Random starting positions for the front-line Russian forces - Neutrals occassionaly (but not always) respond to large forces massing on border and along coast with new deployment locations, providing intelligence to the other side. - Post Russian Surrender Partisans - Free Brits options - Chance for US Naval Reinforcements from the Pacific - Chance for Japanase Naval reinforcements to the Meditteranean if German controls Suez and US Naval forces arrived from the Pacific. - Russia can move capital for a MPP cost. - Random but rare events (1% per turn for an event, about 1 event every 1 to 2 games) </font>Intercept maps of a country's troop locations, see enemy location for 1 turn</font>Spies damage ship in port, a ship in port receives 5 pts of damage</font>Spies have sabatoged our oil refineries - Lose 10MPP for 1 turn</font>Spy in General Staff - See all of 1 nation's units for until spy is dectected (20% per turn)</font>Spies Steal Tech Advance from a random enemy nation</font>Technology Breakthrough, receive 1 bonus tech advance in a random technology area</font>Explosion rips through Science Lab - Reclaim 1 random tech chit (-1 chit, +125 MPP)</font>Spies reveal "FALSE" Locations of Enemy Naval Units.</font>Military Genius assumes control of HQ Unit</font>Most Capable General is killed in plane/car accident, replaced by Lower Rated HQ Unit</font>HQ communications Damaged, Action points for units controlled by 1 HQ unit reduced by 50% for 1 turn.</font> [ May 08, 2003, 03:04 PM: Message edited by: Edwin P. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I honestly can't wait for SC2 no matter where it is lol. I would really really like to see a pacific theater, it's one the area's that interest's me the most and I think it would really add a lot to the game.

Edwin P. Posted May 8, 2003 Author Share Posted May 8, 2003 For me, WWII is a global war where the allies have to balance the resources assigned to Europe and the Pacific. Its the war I want to see in a most playable game. Its a war that gives rise to lots of global strategies on the economic and military front.
