CP and Entente Game Balance

[hottegetthoff]

I think ottomans do need a second HQ in Caucasus, as stated before in the thread. Also, a Bulgarian Cavalry Corps at the beginning would be historical, as they had one of the most renowned cavalry generals of the war. I feel like the best CP strategy is after attacking belgium, a-h tries to take belgrade the 1st turn, and based on effect decides where to send the additional armies. Germany at the very start needs to send the marine and gear him up towards gulf of Riga, while keeping Home fleet occupied. Russians will get a dreadnought during the operation, because of the speed and distance.
(btw i believe that with the scale of the game a +1 to the movement of naval invasions is necessary)
Next you can do your standard moves, destroying Russian Navy and taking warsaw. Your whole focus needs to shift to the East, as you have no reliable way to destroy the french, no scripted bolshevik revolution. Further, an invasion to finland can work, and you cant have any better options.
Russians have way too many units in caucasus, without Sarrikamish the Turks would probably have numerical superiority, and it would be up to General Yudenich to change that.
I think that a system, which would systematically weaken nations if their National Morale is falling, to cause a downward spiral, should be added in some way, with the easiest trigger conditions for Russia, then countries like France, Ottomans, A-H, Italy on the next level, and UK with Germany at the top of resistance.
Maybe this could be made simply by making the morale at the start differ, like Germany-100%, UK-95%, France 85%, 80% A-H, 75%-Russia, and so on.

Also, replacing the russian sub in the black sea with a destoryer would make the area much more interesting.

Speaking of Historical OOBs then the Germans are short of 1 or even 2 cavalry corps. They had 1 operating in the east split between the 8th army and various detachments and 1 split between various armies on the western front and home front. I guess units were reduced all round to accomodate gameplay.

But i do agree with Enver HQ point and reduced morale for Russia.
