[1.05b9]Recruitment exploit

Post by DTurtle »

Replacements recruited only cost their production cost - no fuel, ammo, energy or food.

When you recruit new units (independent or OHQ) you can select to take units from the SHQ instead of building new ones. The thereby recruited units start with full supplies, without taking anything from the SHQ.

Depending on the units involved this can easily save thousand of fuel, energy and ammo.

Troops in the headquarters are already drawing supplies just being there so it makes sense you wouldn't need new supplies for them.
Favoritism is alive and well here.

The reduction in fuel etc. is a significant bug in my opinion. You can replenish your troops in the needed amount and then just do the trick in the same turn.

This needs to get fixed. *eyesAtVic*

This is not about saving a tiny amount of food.

A single brigade of unoptimized medium tanks can easily take 5000 fuel to recruit.

By first recruiting the tanks as replacements and then immediately creating the new brigade of tanks taking them from SHQ, you save all of that fuel.

This is broken.
