Canton island the airbase is not expanding not sure why 30,000 supply( fuel is zero) i do have 28 eng squads seems to be stuck on 1% for 8 turns now I checked the units they are in combat mode!

i am using the second last beta patch!

According to the info I have, it takes 32000 engineer turns to build Canton Islands 2(0) to 3(0). 8 x 28 = 224 and 1% of 32000 = 320. So you have not
invested 1% yet.

Who knew you needed a degree in mathematics to play this game!

more engineers coming i guess! so 320 engineer squads will only build 1 % turn? this does not seem right from what i have seen in game.



but i dont have a degree in mathematics!

Look at the very high cost of expanding SPS 0 port/airfields.

You can't use 320 engineers, only 156 by the chart.

The chart shows that only 156 engineers can be used to enlarge the 2(0) airfield to 3(0).
That means it will take over 205 days with max engineers to make that improvement. The
developers really wanted to make it hard to use or improve those insignificant bases.

if this is right i will have to change my thinking not worth putting all that gear so far away from home for such little gain over a long time!
