Overstrenghting industry

[Korut Zelva]

Crazy idea:

you could invest money to boost industry of a city higher than 10 (let's say to a max of 15).

However if those points would be reduced by bombardement or bombing, you would have to re-invest (ie lets say it drops from 15 to 9, it will go up at 10 but stop there)

That could simulate gearing up the war economy, and create strategic zones of production.

Germany, USSR, USA would benefit greatly from this.

Discuss.

HiCommand had something like that. I liked that feature.

Great Suggesstion Korut.

KZ, this is already in the game, perhaps not to your degree of effect.

An investment in IT, allows for more efficient use of MPPs and strategic bombing has the ability to reduce the MPP asset benefit. The fix of allowing infrastructure bombing when a combat unit occupies the hex/tile should be in SC2, as explained by the developers earlier.

I like the idea of a strategic production zone!

[Korut Zelva]

Yeah, I see where you're getting seamonkey. But to me IT research always felt too random to simulate the gearing up of a war economy.

The overstrenghting would simulate expension of already existing plants and streamlining of production and IT research the outright breakthrus increasing production across the board.

(like cheaper synthethic fuel, I dunno)

I just like the strategic implication that such a system would permit.
