Re: Annexing Minors Makes the Game Too Easy...

I'm happy with the current state of annexing minors. I'm obviously not an uber competent player, as I struggle a bit without being able to annex those farmers. What I find is that I'm able to annex 1 or 2 before running into other minor farmers who, after they are under my protection, get invaded by ...

Re: Items to Fix Before the Ocean Build

I agree with everything DasTactic has said here. I'm an old-school wargamer and while I do appreciate the negative potential in enabling players to game the system, being kept almost totally in the dark is much worse. To me, much of the rolls have a lottery feel to them, and that hurts my enjoyment ...

RE: Pulled truck points are modified by roadsigns? [already solved] plus a small bug

The mouseover popup does explain what deselecting Truck, Rail and Pull Points does (i.e toggles whether that category is affected by the settings), but it isn't terribly intuitive.

RE: OK - Thanks Guys - Logistics Questions

<t> On Item 2:<br/>
For pull points, I don't worry about it. Not the custom ones, at any rate. I use Traffic Signs to ensure that roads that have no need of general logistic points (i.e. roads going to resources or roads that only have troops) only draw pull points. Turn off Pull Points in the ...

RE: Automated Turrets

They work perfectly fine for me. I tend to build them only on a road/rail network, though, so I don't tend to see supply issues with them.

RE: Machinegun vs. Infantry

For AT guns, I add them to all my infantry units. If I need to operate in mountain terrain, I make sure to leave the infantry non-motorized so they can take their AT guns with them up into the hills :)

RE: Machinegun vs. Infantry

<t> MG Infantry brigades form the bulk of my army. Infantry formations are the jack-of-all-trades formations, meant to take ground, hold ground, act as garrisons, etc, at a reasonable cost. They get aided by armour and artillery, but for the cost, infantry will normally provide the bulk of any ...
