Scook Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ....with all those MPPs once Britain is taken down? 1) Wild orgies and trying to invent online porn? 2) Free health care? 3) Building up its home defense? (nah) 4) Founding the Bureau of Firearms, Tobacco, and Alcohol, to insure every Canadian gets their fair share firearms, tobacco, and alcohol? 5) Buying up foreign currency (US dollars) And why does their producion double once US enters the war, so they can talk twice as much about nothing going on? Enquring minds want to know....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolend Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 LOL very funny Scook. I think if London falls the capital should be moved to Canada then those silly answers won't apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartknock3r Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ya... me and edwin P. talked about this a while ago. I think even if Britian's capital stays in Alexandria, They should still recieve Canadian convoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck_para Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Canada would set up a Royal Commission to figure out what to do with it, spend years investigating and then scrap all the recommendations from the Commission. It would then spend whatever is left on patronage projects in the Government's ridings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Scook, noticed how ALL minor countries only produce at half unless they are landlinked to a major? So, cut off Spain via France and if Spain and Portugal are Axis, they now fall from 100% production to 50% production. When Finland enters the war, it does not "really" enter until the Germans take Leningrad, because it can't produce at maximum until this occurs. Algeria, if Turkey is taken, then it can produce at 100% (if it is Axis as well as the rest of Africa, Middle East). That goes for ALL of Africa. So now all the Allies have to do is drop one troop east of Istanbul and ALL of Africa, MIddle Est and Turkey (except Istanbull) falls at 50% next turn. So it is not just a Canada thing. If Norway produced a maximum, it would make it much more appealing for both sides, especially since MMPs from convoys would be greater. Hubert is aware of the possible ways I've said this might be exploited and in my opinion the benefits gained if it were removed (minors needing to be connected to a major ally to produce at maximum). It might require more work than we think. So now you know why... it is built as so within the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanos Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Blashy, So this not being able to produce unless connected to the capitial or the Major nations makes them produce at 5 instead of 8 or 10. now my question is... If I surround Moscow with 8 units and leave it completly blocked off, will all of USSR fall to 50% production? If so, sweet because I am an axis player usally, but that is rather poor for the USSR to be knocked down to half of their income for not defending a city that can't really be defended in the first place....

Scook Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Major powers differ from minors, they don't have the same problems as minors. And no, I do know all the problems about convoys, minor MPPs, etc. But I want to really want to know is: What is Canada doing with all those MPPs in SC2? Builing a new summer getaway for Queen Victoria? Saving up to buy Alaska from the USA? etc.,etc.,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioWizard Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Regarding cutting all the readiness of Russia's ressouces and city, I think you would have to encircle all three potential capitals : Moscow, Stalingrad and the city in the Urals. It was a classic change brought in with a version of SC1 that prevented cutting Russia in two halves by just running a tank right through that was kept in SC2. Practically, you can still do this but only with little chunks of territory, like cutting off Caucasus from Stalingrag and the rest of Russia when you get Rostov. Regarding Canada, Blashy explained very well the SC2 engine comportment that allows 100% to be reached when USA is in. Nevertheless, it does not represent reality. I don't see why we canadians (I'm from Montreal), would only use half of our potential war effort and, suddenly, be all-in when USA joins. Maybe an easy correction that does not need a huge SC2 engine fix could be using Ottawa as a potential capital for England, just as Stalingrad is for Moscow.

simov Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It might indeed be nice if you could control the amount of Canada->UK convoy like the USA->UK convoy (e.g. 0..50%), and you could use the remaining MPP's to build Canadian units. Although for this to be really useful the UK should share their tech with Canadians, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolend Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well Simov it has been suggested already that all Common Wealth minors should have same level tech as the English. Also Axies minnors should share German techs to a lesser degree. I have never heard HC comment on this but I get the feeling it is not something we will see.
