Tips and Tricks—URGENT—construction in CoW 1.5

#1. One Type At A Time! Cities are precious land, build one type of unit-production building each city only. e.g. You build an ordnance foundry in Jacksonville upgrade it. Don’t build sth. like an aircraft factory or industry in it, until the ordnance foundry is fully upgraded.

EXCEPTIONS: In cities that have a secret lab, build a lvl.1 aircraft factory along with the lab. Secret units like rockets, rocket fighter and nukes need aircraft factories to operate. In coastal cities build a naval base along with any building that can produce non-naval units. Prioritize in upgrading the building that is built along with the naval base until you can produce lvl.2 battle ships.

#2. NO INDUSTRY. Until mid-game. For boosting economy, local industry is your best friend, so as infrastructure. Infras are the only buildings that can boost morale. Industry is just expensive to build.

#3. INFRAS. Build infrastructure in places away from your current capital and in key production provinces. This will help you boost economy.

#4. Build only when you can. If your troops are particularly weak in a tech branch, say naval, don’t build naval bases that quick. Prioritize in researching naval units, then build naval bases.

I have had a peek in to COW 1.5, it does appear to be worth playing and will do so.

What I did find in this game is that coalitions are more necessary, option to play early game resources is certainly more difficult.

Usually the option to construct naval yards early game is best, as they do build faster...COW 1.5 is generally seeming slow at first but will possibly be the next big impact in COW strategy gaming.

for one of your tips, local industries are cheaper but loal provinces produce less resources.overall industries in cities are much better

Good tips overall, but I agree with River

Maybe that's too basic but ehhhhh

I usually first build something that's for unit production as they are built in shorter times than industries, then get to build industries if I won't be able to check the game later that day. For example, I could upgrade a tank plant but I will be sleeping when it's done and it won't be useful to have it to lvl 2 at that point, so I just build industry so when it's done while I'm sleeping it will at least be useful.

3. Two paths lie in front of you: one is you get a bunch of weak units and you eventually lose, two is that you can have high-end troops, but will be frustrated by the lengthy production time. If you are bad at morale management, R.I.P. YOU KNOW WHICH CoW PLAYER, dead because of long unit production times.

So how to set proper construction orders?

Just do lights on day 2, mot. Infantry on day 3, mech. Infantry on day 5, Matilda when u r on the losing edge(players gang up against u)

Speed round x6 speed

Day 1: infantry day 1, arm car day 1, lt day 2, ARTY day 3, AA day 2, AT day 5/6/7/8/9/10, SP arty day 15/16/17/18/19/20, SP AA day 11, destroyer day 1, sub day 2, battleship day 10.

That always works

I always build weak troops(infantry and armoured cars) but I end up gaining loads of ground. I won a game with that technique. Non-speed round tip:Just do lights on day 2, mot. Infantry on day 3, mech. Infantry on day 5, Matilda when u r on the losing edge(players gang up against u)

it really depends what doctrine you are playing. for allies you should research high lvel units cause researching and upgrading are quicker

Hey bros do you really hv the time and resources to upgrade industry to level 5?

nope I don’t. As southern USA I only build industry in miami

They said: just spam industry

And i did and it was a success

I build them in midgame and lategame only.

you should build some at the start too. not too much. just a few.

to boost your money so yes

If your an island nation, industry early is often critical as you will not be capturing much resource early on and need the extra production to meet all your expenditure proiorities, whether that be units, research or province improvements.

If you are a continental power you have better options of attacking neighbors and gianing the resources you need that way. As with all things it boils down to the situation and your play style as to what works best for you.
