Comprehensive Suggestion List

Yea, but you're screwed if the engine breaks down midway. Also the pressure would crush the maus causing it to implode which would be quite funny to witness.

I still think my suggestions would be nice

• Rocket Submarines
• Cargo Planes
• Paratroopers
• Cavalry

yea I was only joking about cavalry hehe

Maybe expand the "Commando" line in the 'special' menu to include the other special forces units (ie.,marines,paratroopers,etc.)

Or a 'special barracks' that trains inf. to be paratroopers or whatnot.(ie.send in an inf.unit,they train for x hours,are converted into new unit)

There are some great suggestions on this list.

One that I was thinking about the other night was coastal fortresses or some sort of anti-ship guns that should be a building option for coastal provinces. It could be a fortress like building that shoots at hostile ship.

Love your game! Thanks!!

SPIES :

Spies are great. They can give you very crucial information about your enemies positions and about their secret diplomacy with that treacherous neighbor of yours.

However, spies can be circumvented pretty easily by changing troop orders right after the day change or by talking through others means than the diplomacy menu. They can also become annoying when it comes to managing your daily budget with that huge end of day paycheck you must hand them over. Counterspying is also boring, as you cannot try to track enemy spies. You only know of their position once they have bombed something or at day change, and the enemy has an entire 24hrs to move them.

It can also be annoying when an opponent shows up right after day change and you need to wait an entire day to spy on him.

Some issues cannot be corrected, such as diplomacy. None can prevent facebook or Skype from existing... But other issues could be adressed. What if spies could act at any moment instead of acting at day change?

For example, spies could be active on a real-time basis instead of a turn-by-turn basis. Spies could be paid the same way as units, slowly over time, a few dollars every second. This would make the budget more easily manageable. Every 6-12-24 hours (whatever the devs would decide), the spies could have been paid enough and they could be allowed to act. Should the timelapse between each action be shorter than 24 hours, the spies could have a chance of "aborting a too dangerous mission", meaning they did not act but did not get noticed either. Also, a few actions could be limited to 1 per hour, like troops positions and bombing.

This could also make counter-spying much more interesting since offensive spies could report about enemy spies and this could give a chance for the player to catch them before the enemy blows up something or before he moves them at day change. Counterspying could become more strategic than just piling up spies on key territories.

Just a constructive suggestion.

NOTE : I have not read all the forum threads, as there are so many. If such proposal has already been made and turned down, then plz direct me to the thread so I can read about the reasons for turning it down.

@Tubotron I quite like your ideas. It would be great to have them in game, because right now espionage is too simple. They need to add some complexity into it.

For the creator of the thread, could we have a link for each suggestion or at least a spoiler explaining each suggestion? Would be very helpful @salbalkus, thx

We may create an official list someday.

Season Zones - ["Frozen", "Mud/Rain", "Dry/Clear"] I know...this opens a "can of worms" regarding in-game time scale that could lead to debates about "realism" and balance. Nevertheless, I think it would be interesting to have alternating time periods (ie. every 4-7 days) in which certain provinces have a seasonal terrain modifier for movement; maybe for attack, defense, and air/sea operations.

My first guess, in how to implement such a thing, might be to program a toggle switch at the servers so that all games are synched to the same "season" on a given calendar day and the impact of the season be handled using the same mechanisms that are already available via the espionage and/or morale mechanisms.

For Example:

"Frozen" = all units in a Winter Season Zone get a -10% morale hit (either -10% at the beginning of that season or -2% to -5% per day)

"Mud/Rain" = all ground units in a Spring/Fall Zone have their movement rates halved (-50%) for just that season & in that zone and all air/sea combat values are halved (-50%).

"Dry/Clear" = no impact

Bit of a problem then, that means in a city tanks are super slow and have lost all strength, even though streets would be paved and rain won't do much in a city. In the mountains, they would halt altogether which would be realistic, just not fun. Especially if it lasts a week.

For everyone else: Cities simply wouldn't be selected to be in the Spring/Fall Zone (but all Quasi-duck's tanks would have their movement rates halved anyway).

You're not thinking too hard, there, are ya, lol? That's okay.

Interesting thread!

You keep adding suggestions in this thread? @salbalkus

Now that we have carriers, I have been experimenting with them a bit. In general I like them a lot. I do have one suggestion though. At some point on the tech tree, upgrading aircraft carriers should allow one to use rocket planes on carriers. Maybe carrier 4? Whatever people think is right.

PS the only complaint I actually have with carriers is a mechanics issue with combining them into fleets. Trying to move a destroyer into a fleet with a carrier will result in a message saying only naval aircraft can join the fleet. Destroyers are not even a plane! You can get around this by instead joining the carrier group to the destroyer, but it is annoying in certain circumstances.
