Add more damage to militia in mountains

Der grosse Diktator · Oct 3rd 2015, 8:15pm

First: That add for militias in forrests/hills is great-first time this unit becomes usefull.

And it makes sense: the militia is formed by people of the region, these know their forrests and hills. So why not also giving an add in mountains? The mountainppeople know the terrain of the mountains better than the intruders too.

So Switzlerand can first time be well guarded in this game, like it was, atm its just an easy target

I like it.

Sure, they know the area well, but a mountain range is still tough territory to fight in, especially for the untrained militiamen. They know a forest and hills better, but that's a much more forgiving terrain, not to mention this would be a kinda broken unit if we did add this, so I'm fine as is

Unless you mean a less substantial boost, like +25%, which would be fair, its just every other unit gets a debuff, so it balances out if they just don't get one

I agree 25 or 50 but not 75.

And yes, mountain are rough, but its of use to know the landscape, an if they grew up they know how to climb/march the mountains up their whole life an where to hide etc.

A good ambusch can even untrained soldiers bring into a big advantage.

Militia is made to be weak and pathetic, and that's how they should stay.

Why did they get an upgrade so?

GreatbigHippo · Oct 3rd 2015, 11:31pm

so they can be slightly less weak and pathetic?

GreatbigHippo · Oct 3rd 2015, 11:32pm

stronger cannon fodder is still cannnon fodder

Butter Ball Bill · Oct 3rd 2015, 11:33pm

I've taken countries with militia, they are awesome.

GreatbigHippo · Oct 3rd 2015, 11:34pm

so have i, but they are still weak. What makes them useful is you can raise an army of them almost instantly.

Butter Ball Bill · Oct 3rd 2015, 11:42pm

Exactly. Maybe if they just get a boost in core provinces? E.g. I may not live in Dublin but I know it better than New York.

aDudeWhoDoesThings · Oct 4th 2015, 12:01am

I vote towards just dropping the 75% boost in varied terrain and giving 50% to all except plains and mountains which get a 25%, but only in the core provinces

I disagree, militia should have increased power in home territory and decreased power in foreign nations.

This makes no sense. Hiding in a French building will be the same as hiding in an Irish building.

purplepizza117 · Oct 4th 2015, 1:08am

Okay, I suppose, but if in foreign territory it should at least go back to normal strength.

Butter Ball Bill · Oct 4th 2015, 1:09am

Nope. I've climbed trees in both Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Spain too. All were similar.

purplepizza117 · Oct 4th 2015, 1:10am

But militias know their way around in the home territory, and not in foreign territory.

Butter Ball Bill · Oct 4th 2015, 1:11am

Same with inf, LT and any other unit. Doesn't mean they are worse.

purplepizza117 · Oct 4th 2015, 1:13am

Militias are the people, though... they do not have professional training on attacking and defending.
