This is exactly what the game should avoid. Having a generic fuel resource that is somehow "oil" on one planet and "self-oxidizing rocket fuel" on another is bland, flavorless nonsense that makes all planets feel and play the same ...

The technical limit seems to be that the unit size for humans is 100. It just seems like the simple thing to do would be to give truck subunits more carrying capacity.

Nice. That eager industrialist is me whenever I play Railroad Tycoon 3 or Factorio and bring a factory online lol.

The decision should probably be set up so that it doesn't repeat for the same resource deposit. At least not the same way with the same choices/consequences.

You know what would be great?<br/>
If for example Brigade with number 1 have subunits that have number 11,12,13,14 and 15.<br/>
Brigade 2 have 21,22,23,24 and 25.<br/>
Brigade 15 have subunits 151,152,153,154 and 155 etc.<br/>
It would ...

<t> Yeah I agree. Some ability to put down fortifications seems reasonable.<br/>

As for the detail of how to target hex borders as opposed to hexes: Technically roads are a border future. It might feel a bit odd to click into the next hex for fortifications but barring dedicated UI ...

I can see an argument that vehicles with soft tires make less sense than treads on burning hot planets.<br/>

More so I think vehicles on such planets would require heavy and expensive heat dispersal equipment (even more burdensome on hot planets with little or no ...

<t> The inability to build fortifications does feel odd. The hex scale (200 km) is quite large though so I wanted to do a reality check.<br/>
<br/>
I'm not an expert on these things so take these numbers with a grain of salt. It looks like the Atlantic Wall was about 2,690 km (~13 hexes) built ...

I think the minimum for "realism"/satisfying verisimilitude is, as laid out here, a penalty in cost and survivability for infantry that are dependent on life support suits.<br/>
