Securing Sectors
« on: March 10, 2009, 09:27:14 PM »
How are the soviets and ostheer going to go about securing teritory once captured?
Through building a structure on the point, like Americans and Wehrmacht.
Or by deploying a unit in the sector, like Panzer Elite and British.

Perhaps a new way of doing so could be developed for the new factions?
Perhaps a type of "communications bunker" that can be built anywhere in the territory by the builder unit, with relatively low cost and poor defense. That as well as providing a resource bonus could be upgraded to an aid station or to reveal areas of the map in adjacent territories, something like that.

Would provide a middle ground between the two methods already available (not that one is necessarily needed), more flexible than a set structure on the point but less so than a vehicle that can be redeployed.

Just some thoughts anyway  :)

we are making this mod, and obviously, the EF team have stopped taking ideas. and that mod we are making will be a WHILE in development.

I don't think it's been discussed yet, although I like the idea of a command bunker, or even just giving bunkers a 'Communications' upgrade.

Glad you guys think its a pretty good idea.

As for upgrading it would depend whether the sides built one bunker and then upgraded it for different purposes like the Wehrmacht, or had seperate bunkers for seperate purposes, like the Americans. It could work either way though, just design choices really  :)
