Perhaps a way to make the game a little more challenging would be to beef up the neutrals. So instead of just the Inf in various provinces, the neutral cold have one of several additional units. These could be fixed by neutral or randomly generated at game start. My thoughts of possible additional units:
1) An AA and AT in the capital
2) An Interceptor (imagine Iceland with the plane on patrol over the capitals beech on turn 1)
3) A AC in a plains province
4) An ART
If randomly generated % chance of a neutral obtaining:
1) 50%
2) 25%
3) 15%
4) 10%
Randomly generating the additional units would make each game unique.
Interesting. I like the idea of the minor AI countries having less predictability.
Good plan, make CoW more like an arcade game. Tired of PvP? Make the NPC more powerful!
CoN is already going in that direction:
Stealth 'insurgents' randomly pop up all over. Spam some extra enemy, because it is too hard to find any active players after day three.
Interesting, but hardly a meaningful addition to what bills itself as a multi-player war game.
A better idea would be to enhance retention, provide more support to user sponsored events, and encourage formal Alliances. How long has CoW been in existence, and there is still no Players Alliance Liga?
I am not proposing an arcade game with pop ups. Many of the neutrals had artillery, planes, AT and AA, yet all we give them is infantry. All I am proposing is to make the neutrals more realistic and at the same time slightly more challenging.WayneBo wrote:
