By now we should have noticed the introduction of COW 1.5, this includes unit differentiation and separate doctrines.
When it comes to the COW strategy gaming this sort of implementation should of been introduced a lot earlier, also that the espionage strategy needs more optimisations... COW needs more units and options,
we've said it...we will get it...
I have already put through how units should be implemented early 2019....These format types are viable and will work on any COW map. There is no need for a big debacle of the paratrooper useless unit here...it is just another condition of gamepley.
PLEASE READ...
Here is a list, of what I believe should be a introduced to alternative COW rounds.
Please fell free to leave any feedback.

I hope that these ideas help to make resonate alternative formats for COW.
I'm kind of confused by this. Was this made a long time ago as a unit suggestion, or is it an improvement? Because paratroopers already exist, but with different stats.bigboss_ironfist wrote:

population growth? there is not population system in provinces
also stealth bombers in ww2?
Population I'm guessing as in manpower.
I would love to see a field hospital and radar added into the game. Would make things interesting.
As for the doctrine changes, I believe that some should be changed due to a historical perspective. (game balance is a whole nother story though)
I believe that the Allied HP increase for heavy tanks doesn't belong as the US never really sent out heavy tanks to the front lines outside of the M4A3E2. I suppose it may be because of the Churchill's but then the Axis doctrine deserves it more.
The Axis doctrine should also have added damage buffs to the AA and added HP bonuses to Mechanized infantry.
The Allied and Comintern doctrines should also have a decrease in tank build time due the standardization of Shermans and T-34s. The Axis should also receive a increase in tank (mostly the heavy tanks) build time due to the constant changes made due to the complexity of each machine.
The Pan-Asian doctrine shouldn't have a light tank HP buff as by the time the Allies arrived in the Pacific, the Japanese tanks were vastly outgunned and out armored by their counterparts. I agree with the infantry HP buff due to the tenacity of the Japanese soldier
And IIRC, the nuclear ships are getting removed in 1.5
Sorry for the disorganized list, I kinda rushed through it. May fix it in the future. Great ideas though!

This was made a long time ago...COW needs more units, I have supplied appropriate feedback. Good Day.
I don’t think hospitals should make population growth...If you haven’t noticed, population consumes food in CoW, so if hospitals make more people, then do you mean manpower growth, or do you mean opulation growth? Manpower growth is good, and population growth is bad in CoW.bigboss_ironfist wrote:

Good point Riverwolf74;
It is that hospital systems will sustain population growth, they keep people within the confines of city limits, so as to receive health benefits appropriate. This means that if a nations economy is positive and that logistics in supply & demand is adequately balanced, ie. logarithmic scale, then population trend can be upwards and without the burdensome cost. People will be repaired whom are useful resources to statecraft(s).
The answer is yes, hospitals maintain and increase population standards, however burdensome the bureaucratic infrastructure becomes.
