It would be good if they would change the Matrix of the game. If a supply drop falls in a province that you have a relationship with like ROW or share map you could retrieve the supply drop by moving to the province center without starting a war (the supply drop goes to you the province remains with your friendly nation)
Stop Spawning Supply Drops in Allied Provinces
In my 22p game, me (libya) has a supply drop in Damascus, which belongs to my ally (Turkey). Turkey has owned this province for several in-game days, and the supply drop just spawned last night.

I don't like how the game puts these drops in allied provinces. Either I trade him for the province, or I miss out on my drop.

Do you have ROW or Share Map with them? The provinces in your picture don't look green, but I assume you have Share Map since you can see their units.
I didn't think it was possible to spawn supply drops in allied provinces so this is new to me.
worse yet you cant collect it allied provinces

I think the point is to "incentivise" the player to betray their ally in order to get the supply drop, in theory at least.
I find the problem when a supply drop is in an enemy territory and your ally gets to that province first either by accident or on purpose. I think that any time your forces are in the province center where the supply drop is, no matter who owns the province, You collect that supply drop.
I feel that's part of the point: giving you a reason to open another front. The ones in allied provinces are merely higher-stakes ones.Brando Dilla wrote:

Also, a lot of the 'alliance' drops I've experienced were technically in neutral territory, and my alliances were purely verbal (mainly because, being a chronic backstabber, I didn't want to commit to an actual change of relations). The screenshot looks like neutral territory to me, and obviously the game mechanics can't tell the difference between nations you're just ignoring and ones you're de facto allied with. I've never had a supply drop in a nation who'd granted me right of way, or shared their map.
[EDIT: Also, yes, I realise I'm late on this discussion, but didn't until I'd already posted this.]

Pan-Asian is a better doctrine than Axis when played correctly and you cannot change my mind.
You just lost The Game.

I completely agree, this is perfect. I’d say allow them to spawn in allied provinces, and have this in place. This wouldn’t deter solo players and give advantage to coalition either, since you could have it spawn on ROW and Share map too. Just makes things a bit easier.1101Pathfinder wrote:
