I can imagine that people is getting annoyed by these and Im sorry for making a whole new post but this a whole nwe concept which is includes some of the best aspects of my prior concepts and some new stuff that I included after some research in the forums.
VETERANCY SISTEM
Some Ostheer units gain special abilities as they gain veterancy, each units special abilities and explained below their specific threads. The units that do not earn extra abilities earn a normal deffensive and offensive bonus(or whatever other stat bonus the devs deem necessary)
In you HQ, You can choose the degree of Veterancy which the units you deploy have, though the ammount of time and resources will be higher. Be careful when choosing, it will affect all the units during the rest of the battle.
-RECRUIT LEVEL: No veterancy(0% Resources 0%Deployment Speed). Your units are cheap and can be deployed at lighting speed. Will not always prevail in one-on-one but you can unleash a fearsome blitzkrieg assault in no time!
-VETERAN LEVEL:(10% Resources 5% Deployment Speed) Deploy Veteran Units. These units are slightly more expensive and deploy a bit slower but are more familiarized with combat tactics and can use some powerful Veteran abilities. The perfect balance between skill and speed!
-CRACK LEVEL: Deploy Crack Units(15% Resources %5 Deployment Speed). Though there is no delay when deploying these units they are substancially more expensive, though their battle experience greatly compensates these flaws and have access to many devastating veteran abilities
This is the Spearhead of the Fatherland, looking forward to inflict a lethal blow to the Russian Bear.
-ELITE LEVEL: Deploy Elite Units (15% Resources 10% Deployment Speed) Are Most expensive and slower to deply than any other, but those men have seen the horrors of war and lived to tale the tale, are capable to best alomost any other unit in combat and can make use of all their abilities as the most battle-hardened veterans.
This is the Reich"s Iron Shield against the Red Tide...
SECURING SECTORS AND FORWARD OUTPOSTS
In order to secure a sector, the Ostheer must build up a Forward Outpost. Forward Outpots can be build by Landerzug and Sturmpioneers.
When securing a sector it does not produce additional resources due the logistical problems that the long distances and partisans are causing.
You either cen upgrade you forward outpost to produce more resources or to reinforce and garrison infantery.
-FORWARD OUTPOST: A Dirt and wood structure which solidifies your control on a sector.Its slightly weak but can be Upgraded with:
1. Logistical Center: It produces an improved resource bonus.
2. Holdout: Enables de Forward Outpost to reinforce infantery units and to garrison one Squad
TECHING
To pass from one Tier to the other you must have completed at least two researches of your current tier to pass to the next.
For example:
To Pass from TIER 1 to TIER 2 your need to research Assault tactics and Mine Dropping research in the Waffenkammer.
