Militia fill that role better imo

Yea it'd be interesting to look at this across all stacks, not just per stack, and add in a calculation of manpower and resources saved by upgrading starting infantry rather than producing all from scratch. This benefit will dilute as we make more and more stacks but we could probably make some assumptions and figure it out.

It's an interesting question, tough to answer. My guess is that Urban is the most common terrain for melee battles and so it might be worth strengthening our stack in Urban terrain. More generally, it seems like faster stacks or doctrines can choose their battle location better than slow stacks or doctrines, so faster stacks may be able to go all-out on particular terrains while slow stacks may want to smooth over weaknesses and be more balanced across all terrains. Running the numbers with some…

Day 13, very impressive, especially given the low density of cities in Africa. Nice game

Towards the end of the HT spam thread there was a discussion on which unit would best complement a heavy tank. I put some thoughts down early in that thread, when I was determining my stack composition strategy, and wanted to revisit and run some numbers. In these situations, I've assumed no doctrine, no terrain boosts, and the following levels: - Heavy Tank L2, avail. day 10 - Infantry L4, day 8 - Anti Air L4, day 10 - Mot Inf L3, day 8 - Mech Inf L2, day 8 so that all are available at comparab…

Right ^ The issue here was that your opponent's stack was still in their territory, so they healed too.

Most folks are aware of the relationship between morale and construction/production times: above 80% morale, construction and production times are normal. Once morale dips below 80% construction/production times start to increase, accelerating as morale approaches zero. I also assume that most folks are aware of some of the key / most common morale adjustments: - 70% morale (starting morale) slows C/P by 13% (or expressed as a time multiplier, 1.13) - 50% morale (nice round number) slows C/P by …

Quote from Brando Dilla: “(Hidden Content) ” Yea this is a handy trick. It works for any combat within 5km, so you can also do it when you're near enemy units to initiate melee combat. A good way to judge distance (to know whether you're within the 5km limit) is to use the movement arrow. 5km is about the length of the center of the movement arrow when all the way zoomed in.

As far as I know, being on the receiving end of a ranged attack is not enough to trigger combat. It's gotta be something the stack (or owner of the stack) does, like hit a border, turn forced March on or off, change diplomatic relation, etc

Interesting. I'm not aware of health not regenerating during melee combat. I am fairly certain I usually see melee combat units regenerating because I know I plan for it when attacking near day change. I could easily be wrong here--a quick search of the wiki didn't give me any answers, but I could have missed something. As for both healing, it looks like you're both in your own territory. What likely happened here is that your units were less than 5km from the border and your enemies were approa…

They do, very rarely It's rare enough that I recall specific instances and usually screenshot them. Here are two rebuilt AI capitals, Sweden and Soviet Union. It took days before they were rebuilt.

Pretty much. Order to max out RCs is usually Core city -> core no res rural -> core res rural -> non-core city

Quote from Fox-Company: “Quote from Claudio NVKP: “Quote from Fox-Company: “If you keep spamming likes to people they will start removing points lol ” Who is 'they'? ” Mods, mass spamming likes is not allowed, i've seen it happen a few times. ” The exchange is still there, clear as day.

Quote from Fox-Company: “Quote from Claudio NVKP: “Quote from Fox-Company: “Did i say they were removed? No, i said he got in trouble for it. ” Well, you did state in a post that, they'll start removing it, they being the Moderator. Donk 2.0 didn't get any trouble. Leaving this aside, who cares? There are no moderator after all. The points have no significance in (most of) our lives... ” Then why did you argue with me, if you don't care there was no need to start arguing against me. ” Are you ac…

Why do points matter

Stick with militia, they're excellent.

We're all good. My hope was that you'd continue the playthrough but dial back the caricature. I didn't expect that discussion to take up as much of this thread as it did; I think it's an interesting topic but one best split out into a separate discussion.

Good tips. On research, I don't think that doing research for the sake of research is worthwhile. Plan out the types of units you're going to use and plan out when you're going to upgrade your existing units. If you're aiming for Level 3 of something but don't need a ton of them immediately you may want to pause production until L3 research is complete. If that's the case, you don't need to do L2 research until just before L3 becomes available. Generally, don't produce any units you don't need, …

Quote from K.Rokossovski: “Quote from jubjub bird: “I'm assuming most of your questions are rhetorical. ” Only partly. I'm trying to locate where your uncomfortable feeling comes from. I don't want to offend anyone; the thread was only meant as innocent jesting. I know the "black" part is more sensitive than, for example, RP'ing a caricature of a snobbish stiff-upper-lip British carreer officer (I would assume you have no problem at all with that, but maybe I'm wrong?), probably because it is st…

Right, and I recognize that many (most?) people here are not American and may not have experience with this, which was all the more reason to point it out.
