Ideas for Custom Games, Guided Missiles, Doctrine Changes and Infantry Balance

Hey everyone! I have a few suggestions that I think would be great additions to Call of War.

1. More Custom Game Settings
It would be nice to have more control over custom games. For example, hosts should be able to choose the game speed, with options up to 4x on all available maps. This would be especially useful for Historic World War, where games can take months to finish.

Another useful feature would be the ability to increase the player limit. If a map has 30 player slots and the remaining countries are controlled by AI, the host should be able to make those countries available to other players. This would make it much easier to organize large games with friends and community tournaments.

2. Air-Launched Guided Missiles

I think it would be interesting to add guided missiles that can be launched from aircraft. Weapons like the German Hs 293 and Fritz X were used during World War II, so this could also fit the historical setting of the game.

To keep things balanced, these weapons shouldn't automatically hit their targets. Instead, players could manually adjust the missile's direction for a short time after launch. This would make them more challenging to use and give bombers another role in combat.

3. Changing Doctrines During a Match
One feature I'd really like to see is the ability to change a country's doctrine during a match. It could require a large amount of resources and perhaps a long waiting period to prevent players from switching doctrines too easily.

For example, Germany could switch to the Comintern doctrine and become Communist Germany, with a corresponding change to its flag and name. The USSR could also change to the Allied doctrine, representing a different political direction.

This feature would be especially interesting on historical maps, like the Historic World War map, where players create their own scenarios. Since custom flags and pictures were removed, having the option to change a country's name and flag through its doctrine would be a nice way to bring some of that freedom back.

4. Infantry and Militia Buffs
I think infantry and militia could use some changes to make defensive strategies more effective. Regular infantry should receive stronger bonuses from terrain when fighting in forests and mountains. This would make terrain more important in combat and give players a better chance to defend strategic positions against large tank groups.

Militia should also receive an additional defensive bonus when fighting within their country's original borders. This would make them more useful for defending their homeland while keeping them relatively weak in offensive operations.

These are just a few ideas I'd like to see in the game. I think they could make custom matches more flexible and add some interesting strategic options without completely changing the way Call of War works.

What do you think? Do you agree with these suggestions, or would you change something?
