Curry Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Is Tangier a port in SC II. I hope it will be. It would help the allies if it were and I also think it would be more historical. Hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I hope so too. We can edit resourses to have different production values, even zero, so zero-value ports would allow for additional ports without unnecessarily increasing the production value of certain countries. Like Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia; this region is not worth a city and three ports if SC1 values are used. Another thing about ports is whether or not they could provide supply to land units, so that a port like Casablanca or Tangier without a city could support an invasion without a HQ. A HQ with a port would be powerful, and having lots of historical zero-value ports that are difficult to defend may create playbalance issues. There should be a decent balance achievable, with a few more ports added here and there without upsetting the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 With zero-value ports the North African Campaign would make much more sense -- you could add Casablanca, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, Benghazi and Torbruk. That would set three key ports in the French area and three in the Italian area and, together with greater southern area in Libya and Egypt (going to the Qattara Depression south of El Alemain), supply and reinforcement facities would be more sensible and it would probably lead to a good Campaign in North Africa. Similar ports (one each) on the Balaeric Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Crete and Cyprus would allow for a more realistic Mediteranean situation. The good part is that some would have greater than zero values but would be less than major economic centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 So JJ, are you going to help me with "our" "Mediterranean Theatre of Operations" custom campaign for SC2 (codename: "Sphinx")? MTO anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
