RE: Regime Profiles and Their In-Game Evolution

<t> For most of those, you can completely ignore the events by simply not picking an option and leaving them until you end the turn - events where you have to make a decision will stop you from ending the turn before you make a decision. I agree that there should be an obvious ignore button for ...

RE: White and gold pyramids

Is there a clear correlation to what recycling facilities give machinery or hitech parts? The level of the archeological finds don't seem to matter, nor does the level of the facility (as far as I've noticed?). Is it just random based on the specific ruins hex?

RE: Thoughts on pull points

<t> The immersion point is interesting to me, especially since the community at large seems to be so divided on it. For me personally the pull system feels a lot more immersive than the old system: In any large scale logistics system, the strategic command would have a very clear idea and specific ...

RE: Vic is on a roll!

I can only second this sentiment! I was very happily surprised when I tried the latest beta and found that pretty much all of my niggling annoyances (especially with how supply information is presented) had been improved upon. Keep up the great work, Vic!

RE: I dislike the OOB's and the whole approach to unit composition

<t> I'd like to see a compromise here: Maybe OOBs should be automatically discovered when you develop the technologies for new unit types? I still like that the work to operationalize an OOB requires investment, since working out the logistics and tactics for a certain type of formation should ...

Once again, this forum has informed me of a feature that I had totally missed, thanks! This time I can't even blame the UI :D

RE: I dislike the OOB's and the whole approach to unit composition

<t> Again, with the level of abstraction the game is working on the OOB research should be interpreted as the command staff "realising that you can put 20% RPG troops with your infantry", but "developing the logistics and training methods necessary for incorporating this new weaponry in the current ...

RE: I dislike the OOB's and the whole approach to unit composition

<t> If anything, I'd like to see a system for upgrading/changing an OOB to include new unit types as they are available. There's already a system for OHQs to return unwanted units to the SHQ and request new ones, so it seems like it shouldn't bee too hard to implement? I find myself underutilising ...

RE: Thoughts on the new "pull" system in logistics

<t> My take on the whole thing is that I really like the sound of the pull system - not because I've had any great issues with micromanagement or the logistics system in general (aside from the obvious part of being new to the game and learning by trying things out and failing, which is a process I ...

RE: SHQ not sending food to units

<t> Yeah, that I know about [:)] Do you guys have any rule of thumb of how large a manpower pool is reasonable to keep around? I suppose 24k is enough to raise a full motorised infantry division, which is the largest type of formation you'd ever be able to raise at one time could be a workable ...

RE: SHQ not sending food to units

<r> Okay, it looks like the issue was indeed as simple as just an actual lack of food, thanks for your help! [:)] I still can't help but feel that this is a pretty serious issue with how information in presented to the player - intuitively, seeing at a glance that the amount of food stored in the ...

RE: SHQ not sending food to units

<t> I guess lack of food might be it - I'll run a test with buying as much food as I can and checking if that solves it. It DOES seem a bit counterintuitive to me that the indicator shows a positive food income 5+ turns in a row, if I'm actually running so low that literally all my troops are ...

RE: SHQ not sending food to units

<t> Here you go! As you can see, I'm making a need gain of food and have a decent chunk sitting in the SHQ, but it doesn't seem to want to send any out for whatever reason. I also checked, and all units with decent supply lines are getting all the fuel and ammunition they want. Food is getting to ...

RE: SHQ not sending food to units

<t> Here's the supply tab on the SHQ - which particular stats page do you want? Of note, this is after I fiddled with the SHQ logistics limitations to put an extra high priority on getting supplies to units, so the logistics network being too busy with shipping stuff between the zones shouldn't be ...

SHQ not sending food to units

<t> Hello! I've suddenly run into an issue where my SHQ doesn't send any food whatsoever to any of my units. As far as I can tell, I have plenty of food available and it's not an issue with insufficient logistics - all units everywhere on the map are equally effected, even those right on the same ...
