What would be the best base buildings for Ostheer?
« on: November 25, 2011, 11:27:37 AM »
By this I am referring to what type of buildings the Ostheer will train their units.

Should they have a HQ? a truck like the British?

My idea is a mixture, their HQ is a building, like US and Russia, but the unit and/or tank supply could be a semi-nomad.

This way a Ostheer player could have his light vehicles closer to his base, for responding to raids and counter attacks, while the slower tanks could be placed closer to the front lines...

that, or maybe some variant of a signal beacon for infantry, in which they are airdroped unto the field.. :-\ or not...

Ostheer base is out of concrete building.
"Moving buildings" like the British trucks annoy the enemies
and with all this Ostheer units like the SdKfz. 251 for healing and reenforcing Ostheer
has enough offensive powers.
And out of my view it is the best ;)
May the force be with you.

Another faction like the Brits would quite frankly be annoying :-\. Their slow uits and trucks upset me >:(. Stick to static buildings

...and somehow also almost impossible to balance.

indeed
ostheer should never be able to move or build their tiers outsdie their own base

it would kill the balance and would make a FHQ or Halftracks sensless like Rommel already said^^

Trucks was only a suggestion, (maybe not a good one ::)), and by base buildings I was also referring to what possible buildings (motor pools etc), and if you they should "level" like the Wehrmacht, or any combination thereof.

feel free post your own ideas too.

Fishhunterx, you are right, but I only saw the topic AFTER I made this one, I haven't had time to read the enter forum..

But are you telling me that you have no ideas? it's thoughts on what you might want that count... :)

edit: (for example) the base buildings are here http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=5771.0, do you agree with them?

Well I think there should be another building. Ami, PE, and Wher have 4 buildings not including HQ. Maybe break up the units so there's not so many things in one spot  ??? But IMO it's wouldn't really work since the idea of switch b/w support and assault is already there.

ALso IMO the idea of payng to switch b/w assualt and support is also.......weird? Sometime you may forget to change or will not have the resources. And then later you want to build lets say a Brummbar but you are either waiting on it or cant afford it b/c you payed to switch sides. It will also take a toll on you resources :-\. But then again I'm no expert and didn't read the Ostheer sneaks 100%. More like 70% ;D

I would like to see an Opel Blitz break out some netting and ammo boxes to serve as a forward HQ instead of using an empty house.
Ostheer is a new German faction for this mod.
It will be done when it is done.
Keep mapping and modeling.

For a comapny HQ, most likely a mansion or a large adminsitative building of some sort.
