And a more general question, what is the reasoning for these changes? What do you hope to accomplish? Is logistics stretching too far, is it too easy with a centralized system?<br/>

RE: Make Private rural assets not need public roads

That's just a bandaid on one symptom of the logistic system problem. Solve the main problem, and bandaids like this won't be needed.

RE: Nukes

<t> My one full game so far ended long before nukes were developed, but I did find some GR tactical nuke launchers in a test game. They were basically very deadly rocket artillery. One use only, because I didn't have the tech to rearm them.<br/>

Used it on a well-defended minor city. Killed ...

I find it rather insulting that you think that the only reason someone could want the logistics system changed is "because they can't figure it out". I figured the logistics system out quite well, but I hated actually managing it. Adding ...

That's a neat round 90% traffic blocked. Are you sure you don't have a traffic sign on that lower track?

RE: Supply Bases are... not what I expected

<t> That seems rather wasteful, because in that case your supply base is only servicing a single truck station.<br/>
<br/>
Build the base in the middle between two truck stations, and now both are serviced by a single base. Build it at a major intersection, and you can service even more truck ...

RE: Where should you place a Capacity V leader?

Some leaders like to lead from the front, it's one of their skill scores or so. If you place a leader like that in SHQ, there is still a small chance he'll personally join an attack and gets himself killed.

<t> Correct (depending on the cause of the bottleneck). You can use the traffic sign screen to analyze where the traffic in that bottleneck is coming from and how many AP they have left.<br/>
