pzgndr Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I played a couple rounds as Allies yesterday and noticed the Germans are able to pillage about 1000 MPPs when France surrenders, which is about the total amount of MPPs I was able to spend as France during the several turns fighting for survival. Does anyone else find this strange? Maybe give the conquerer an immediate MPP boost equal to the captured production, but don't have pillaging from non-existent treasuries. I'd rather see higher revenues per turn following a country's defeat instead of a one-time bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Dave Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 The amount of MPPs gained may or may not be perfectly historical, but -- to the victor goes the spoils! This seems to simulate the idea that you are now REWARDED for a tactical accomplishment, and now you have extra monies to continue your onslaught. This can be viewed as MOMENTUM and the headiness that comes from high morale and winning one for the home team. Onward! All the other rewards are more concrete -- this is the chance to wear the laurels (... at least until USA begins to flex the muscles). :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 I take it that you guys are content with this reward system and sense of instant gratification. While Germany did historically plunder France and others, it took time and did not happen immediately. I assume SC uses a combination of pillaging and then percentage of normal production for captured resources. It may be more appropriate to reduce the pillaging and increase the production percentages to create a somewhat more realistic effect over time.

Tellu Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I agree with Bill here. It took a lot of more time than 1 week to get the valuables out of France. More like years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I don't know how accurate this might be, but I thought of the pillaging as similar to the Germans taking over Czechoslovakia and pressing all those Czech tanks into service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
