jon_j_rambo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If you lose an HQ, you can buy them back from the dead pool for a cheaper rate. Is there any loss in leadership rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 No - except for the experience: the reborn ones start again at 0 experience so the collected exp till their death is lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Don't you think it's kind of lame? You kill Patton, and the dude's long lost clone brother rises from the dead at a cheaper price? (There's only one who has risen from the dead, 3-days & 3-nights later. Always wondered how you can be buried on Friday & spend 3-nights in the grave, yet come back on Sunday? Don't trust anything organized if you know what I mean.) Back to killing Patton. Leaders aren't bought, they are born (or born again)...thus, I think this HQ coming back cheaper with same rating should be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hey JJR, don't you remember the movie? Patton believed in reincarnation. Ok, then change his name to something else like Ridgeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributar Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 When a leader/HQ is dead, they should not be allowed to re-incarnate. New leaders should generate at mostly lesser values, and have a Wild-Card in the randomizer to generate the odd/infrequent higher capable HQ!.

AZGungHo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Perhaps the HQ unit represents the staff, attached units, etc. NOT the person it's named after? So when the entire HQ is destroyed, the General's staff whisked him away to safety?? At this scale what else could it be really? Obviously these units represent more than one person, and even when destroyed it doesn't mean every single person in the unit died! Now, for some additional, and probably unnecessary chrome, how about a small chance when a HQ is destroyed that the general DID die! If it comes up, you get a pop up saying General So & So was killed, and he's removed from the HQ pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scook Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Any HQ dying comes back with the name "Lazerus", has a rating of 6, except for USSR. They just promote party men to rank of general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Fact is how many Generals died in the field in WW2? That wasn't due to sucide or assasination, it is more likely your own Country will kill your HQ and the Commander, Smart Commanders in History did ride at the head of their Army to show bravery, but wisely retreated to the rear when it got thick to avoid dying. Being that when they die so does the morale of the unit. I am unaware of 1 of the Generals listed in SC2 of the Germans that was killed in WW2, most certianly none of the British... The percentage chance to kill a General if you destroy his HQ would be probably very very low As mentioned by Gungho, It is more represents the overall organizational value of a Unit operating 5 units beneath it then a true General itself, the name just indicates the value to that operational HeadQuarters.

Minty Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 If you think about it that is what effectively did happen to Rommel. His HQ for the Afrika corps ( support troops, junior officers , NCO, Drivers, supply trucks etc) all got left behind in North Africa. In game terms his HQ was destroyed. However he and other senior officers were flown back to Germany and his HQ was reborn to then be placed in France. Similar story with other Generals from the east to western Front. With the exception of stalingrad almost no senior generals were ever captured or killed. And the only American general killed was a lowely Lt General who was blown up by Patton's advancing forces breaking out of Normandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
