a BETTER strat system for all.

[AceHavok]

I like this idea.

Also, with the addition of trains/ships. Could be a good opportunity to update the current cv groups, and add different types of ships. IE: Allen M. Sumner Class destroyers, Battleships, Japanese Aircraft Carriers and British CV's (Mainly for special events). Just my thoughts.

+1 anyways.

My question is, if given serious thought, can HTC server's handle it?

Trains were always cool I thought. They just needed to have one run through both the middle of town. and alongside the feilds as well as to the factories themselves.

Imagine trying to camp a base or get troops in and then suddenly a train comes rolling in

[BuckP]

I think this idea has some merit, would love to see something like this instituted.

How about adding Liberty ships and Higgins boats?

Taken from another thread.  I replied to Krusty in the 1st half, HiTech in the 2nd.  Rail yards could be quite useful.  Makes this idea even more juicy...

I believe 25% is too high.  20% would be a better choice, or even lower.  Mind you, this is coming from someone who LOVES to hit strategic targets.  I want my run to make an impact, but I don't want it to be too easy for me to inflict serious damage to the enemy's industry.  Don't take it to a Capital's difficulty, but definitely not have it as easy as the old strategic system was.

A Complex Version:
What if the delay is based on the condition of the rail yard?  At 90%-70%, there is a 2% delay.  At 69%-40%, 5%.  At 39%-21%, 7% delay.  At 20% or less, you have a full 10% delay.


Rail Yards could cover the spawn times of a convoy.  From what I can tell, there is currently no way to delay the spawn time of convoy's.  The Convoys always spawn at the same time (they spawn more often if a base is damaged), regardless of the status of strategic target's they are tied to.  This would add another aspect to the strategic war effort.  You can inflict damage to the supplies produced and/or the time it takes for them to reach their destination.

Slightly off topic but; Any word about your idea of a Concrete Factory?  I remember you mentioning the possibility of adding a factory that affects the down times of towns.  Maybe it could also be tied into the down time of the Rail Yards?  That may make that bit complicated, (EDIT) having the factory for town times tied to the rail yards...

LSTs are the ones most needed

How about adding Liberty ships and Higgins boats?

Higgins eventually, Liberty ships is pretty much what you see going from port to port...
