the new outcome system for land will allow new units:

- engineer units

- UAV recon (unmanned aerial vehicles)

- recon/scout helicopters and aircraft (manned ones)

---
when the nations are handed out and the unit lists are posted, you will have to check in in this thread to get your new units, if not you wont get em and that would suck for ya'

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Excellent ... I love the engineers idea, and the idea for drones will be a great help.

Can we also look into researching modifying existing units for different roles. Like with the British Lynx helicopter, having infantry being carried in the standard Lynx with rocket pods, supported by the attack lynx with hellfires?

3 acutally, lol! [Big Grin]

quote:
Lynx Attack Helicopter Unit: The Lynx Attack chopper carries anti-tank missiles. It is fast and good against all ground units. It has no-anti-aircraft weapons though. (Cost: 12)

Lynx Assault Transport Helicopter Unit: This Lynx unit carries only light-weapons but it can carry 1 Para Infantry Unit for airborne attacks. (Cost: 6, carries 1 Para Infantry Unit)

Navy Lynx Anti-Ship/Submarine Naval Helicopter Unit: The Navy Lynx only carries anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons. It is bad against enemy air units. It can operate off of any carrier or helicopter carrier. (Cost: 7, can be based on carriers and helicopter carriers)

but yes you can do research to modify current units if you wish (upgrading it or something along those lines)

should take into consideration that modifying a unit to slightly different role should take much less than researching a completely new one. For example in the last game I wanted to get a naval eurofighter, which is not too bit deal given that I had a normal eurofighter, but still I had to research it as a new fighter...

then, not forget the proposition of limiting research. I.e. further research should be more expensive with each following step.

i know lets put a currency thing into it too with all the normal exchange rates!then be able to change the strength of the currency making buying from other players cheaper for us, and if you fuck the economy up your own troops turn against you in a coup de'etat all these new ideas wont needlessly complicate things at all!
