KDG Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 First, you guys do great work. Keep it up. Here is a solution to overpowered air. Set up all countries with level two anti-aircraft(or maybe level one but with a chit already allocated to this). This will bump up all units air defense in cities and on strategic resources. Much less likely to see 10-15 jets as usefullness will be reduced. This will also make it more difficult to take neutrals in one turn, thus slowing Germany down.

JerseyJohn Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 KDG Thanks for the suggestion, it's a good idea. Not a solution, the balance still has to be adjusted somehow in the game mechanics, but a good idea to use in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Whiskers Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Just a thought, but what if, when using air to attack ground forces, it only reduced the effectiveness rating, in addition to reducing entrenchment levels? That air no longer causes strength point damage? Seems to me this would solve the problem of massed air destroying any defensive line the opponent can create. The effectiveness reduction would make the enemy unit more likely to take damage when attacked by ground units, but at least it would require ground units for the attack. This would place ground-attack air back in its proper role, supporting ground units (not taking the place of them). If this is implemented, one question to answer is if any of the reduction should carry over to the next turn - I can see pro's and con's for this, so I'm curious what others think.

Sir Whiskers Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sorry, my bad. I just noticed your posting concerns only modding the current game, not how to change air for SC2. That said, does the anti-air research category affect air defense by units, or only locations (cities, mines, etc)? I was under the impression it only worked against strategic air attacks.

KDG Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sir Whiskers, here is from the instructions: Every new level of anti-aircraft radar research improves the air defence values for all Strategic Resources. As an added bonus defending units located on these resources will also receive the anti-aircraft radar bonus when defending against air attacks.

Shaka of Carthage Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sir Wiskers A few other (myself among them) have advocated that air attacks within current SC only effect readiness. For the very reasons you stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
