First of all, let me mention that putting fun before realism is always key in a good game. But sometimes a bit of realism is needed.
One of the main problemas I find with this game is the cores and non-cores. I am in favor of the non-core -75% penalty, but I do not agree with the fact that after a few days non-cores that have been recently conquered have their morale at 100%. I think the morale should never pass 75%, and even then, it would take real-life weeks to obtain it.
Another thing I don't like, and this is the most important of the two, is the fact that you can leave a unit in a province with less than 35% of morale, leave it there for a day or two and then take away the unit when the morale reaches 35%. This 'forget about it' feature should be changed so that there is a continuous chance of uprising until the morale passes 50%, and that if you don't leave troops stationed there, no matter the morale, the province could rebel and rejoin it's previous owner, meaning you can't just forget about it. I mean, people are going to rebel if they see there's no there to stop them. For that matter, I propose the creation of Military Police, which would stop the uprisings, instead of having to leave infantry behind.
I also propose the creation of Governments in Exile. Let me tell you how'd it work. Say Germany occupies France, and France wants to set up a government in exile in London. France requests permission to do so and England can accept or deny it. Then, once France has a government in exile, they can lead their country from there, and, in the case a province rebels and joins them, they could also rule them.
Another thing worth mentioning is the creation of Resistance Units. Say a province rebels. Someone has to carry out that rebellion, and that would imply the Resistance. So when a province rebels, a Resistance Unit is automatically created in that province.
Finally, I also propose that Governments in Exile are able to create Underground Resistance bases in their Core provinces, increasing the chance of an uprising.
Thank you for reading. I do not expect that these ideas are implemented, but if some of them are, i would greatly appreciate it. But first, let's see how the community reacts. I hope not to get yelled at too much, *wink wink* Butter Ball Bill.
The past is a foreign country.
