Your most Desired Feature

Hey guys, so I know a lot of us have features or mechanics that we want to see in the game. So I wanted to hear some of them and discuss them between us. Every idea is valid so don't feel be afraid to post it. I hope to not see anyone bashing anyone else's idea this should all be in good fun. Anyways as you guys can probably guess due to my previous post I would really love to see super heavy tanks added in. What would you like to see in game and why do you think it should be added?

The ability to grow or mine a new resource in a providence. Such as a level 1 mine to gain raw resources, or a level 1 farm for food, a level 1 foundry for steel, oil fields for oil. They would be exclusive once built meaning you could only pick one resource type per providence.

This would bring a whole new strategy with the current coalitions where two players could be the military might and a third could be the economic might behind them.

I mentioned this in a earlier post, I totally agree it would definitely an a new level of strategy to CoW.

That is a very bad idea.

He wants to turn every province into resourse production center and you say it is a good idea?

Yes and a very good one at that. Every province is already a resource production center. This would just to choose which resource instead of being forced to take what you get. I'm not saying make it easy to do but it would be a good supplement in later game phases when oil and food are so scarce. It would also be nice to not have to expand if you want to increase you're production. In the end would lead to larger battles and longer lasting nations as smaller nations would still be viable threats due to their production allowing them to field a larger army. At the moment on my hundred player map It's only day 25 and I already know I won, why? because my economy is triple that of any other player and that's because I have about 500 provinces. There are still about 50 players in game too but none of them pose a threat because in the process I've managed to build an army larger then the other top 3 combined. If said smaller nations could improve the economy in other ways than just capturing provinces then I would be in deep trouble.

If I were to implement this system I think it should go like this

-Farm/Mines can only be built on provinces that currently produce a resource

-Only one may be built per province

-Building said structure will reduce base resource production by 25% and secondary resource will produce at 25% of the original base resource production value

-Said structure when not suffer above penalties if built in core province and will take on the base resource's production value

-3 day build time.

-High rare material cost.

-Use money as the upkeep

I think paratroopers and marines will change up the warfare front, as the 100 player map would suit mass airborne operations.

I would also like economic boosts, and removing that 25% resource gain from conquered land

I totally agree with you TankBuster on the point of paratroopers. I can just imagine invading 10 provinces at once within an hour, it would be awesome. I'm not so sure on removing the penalty on captured provinces, perhaps slightly increasing the percentage would work better.

Ability to change our flags!

To add to this I would also like to see the addition of leader portraits.

Hopefully flags come soon, i believe that the devs are using the Coalitions as a test bed for how we act: for example, making sure no one starts posting Swastikas and the likes

So the very first post says not to bash ideas and that is the first thing you do? How about giving an idea or explaining why that isn't a good idea? How about giving constructive criticism?

I am not saying this should be something that can be done easily! That would mean you have to decide to either attack a nation before you are ready or allow them to build an economy that would make it harder to take them. You still would need territories to build on.

This idea could be taken even further:

Each providence has a +% on possible resources. I am not talking a huge bonus here, something like +5% if you build oil, nothing if you don't.

So buildings would be as such-

Farm:

Farm lvl 1: 5,000 Food; 7,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - The providence provides 500 food per day

Farm lvl 2: 2,500 Food; 5,500 Raw Material; 20,000 gold - Increase food production to 600 food per day

Farm lvl 3: 2,500 Food; 5,500 Raw Material; 20,000 gold - 700 Food per day

Mine:

Mine lvl 1: 2,500 Food; 12,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - The providence provides 500 Metal per day

Mine lvl 2: 2,500 Food; 7,500 Raw Material; 20,000 gold - Increase food production to 600 Metal per day

Mine lvl 3: 2,500 Food; 7,500 Raw Material; 20,000 gold - 700 Metal per day

Quarry:

Quarry lvl 1: 2,500 Food; 12,500 Raw Material; 35,000 gold - The providence provides 500 Raw Material per day

Quarry lvl 2: 1,500 Food; 7,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - Increase food production to 600 Raw Material per day

Quarry lvl 3: 1,500 Food; 7,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - 700 Raw Material per day

Oil Fields (Rig):

Oil Fields lvl 1: 3,000 Food; 2,500 Metal; 17,500 Raw Material; 35,000 gold - The providence provides 500 Oil per day

Oil Fields lvl 2: 2,500 Food; 2,000 Metal; 10,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - Increase food production to 600 Oil per day

Oil Fields lvl 3: 2,500 Food; 2,000 Metal; 10,500 Raw Material; 25,000 gold - 700 Oil per day

As you can see my idea isn't cheap, and isn't a game changer until much later in the game, ie 30+ days. It only gives you a non-core bonus. Each one can have a 72 hr build time (What I believe the nuclear plant should be too). This means just to get the top bonus you need to spend 9 days! Not to mention the days of resources.

I responeded already, making every province able to produce every resource in a game where provinces produce zero or one, not more than one, resources makes no sense. Why do you need it? You probably lack food or oil in late game so you want to prevent it by making resource irrelevant, because when you can choose what to produce where, you will never lack any resource. To me, that idea is not worth considering at all. I just don't see any reason to completely change the game only for it to be easier to play.

I think Bytro should make this game like Civilization.

It would be a great update.

What planes I think should be added.

*CARGO PLANES*

I am working on researching German and Soviet planes! All of these facts are from http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/ww2-transport-aircraft.asp you should go to that website it has good facts about everything from the use of firearms to modern era!

American

lv.1-Douglas DC-2, Crew was any where from 3-14 and was used during the start of American involvement in WWII.

lv.2-Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando,Had a crew of 4 it was basically a C-47 but bigger or smaller, I do not know much of this aircraft, it was used to drop troops though.

lv.3-Consolidated B-24 "Liberator", this was a bomber but some variants were outfitted to carry 20 soldiers. This was know as the C-87,C-87A,C-87B the A was for VIP and could hold 16 people and the A was a proposed gun ship, much like the AC-130.

lv.4-Douglas C-47, this could drop several airborne soldiers and other versions could hold a Willy jeep, other variants could hold many more soldiers, the C-53, this plane was smaller than the C-46 but, was an iconic symbol of WWII

lv.5-Boeing XB-15 "Grandpappy", Biggest Airplane made by America at that time, had a crew of 10 and to repair the wings a ground crew member would have to crawl inside the plane, they made tunnels for those people. They could hold more than a few Willy jeeps, they never actually went to war.
