How did you make all the infantry at the end? A cheat mod of some sort? Overall, great work! Cant wait.

thats a good question

[TheAllMihtyOne]

well beacuse the conscripts don't take pop-cap it does not seem soo unbelivable, cuse i think it was mostly conscripts.

[WartyX]

Obviously it was set up for the trailer. But it is definitely possible, although manpower and time would be better spent on things other than producing hundreds of conscripts.

[vengefulnoob]

Please don't reply here, it makes me think there's another update... My poor heart just canna take any more!

[Gew00n]

That brings me to this question..

Is there another update to be expected soon?

Question how much manpower does a conscript unit cost?

[akn102991]

I'd also be interested to see some of the projected unit costs for the game, just for thinking's sake.

But I also know the eruption of "OMG SO OP/UP" on the forums for everything on the list.  EVERYTHING. 

[WartyX]

Unit costs are flip-flopping all the time as we try to find a decent balance. Even something which we think is a perfect balance now may completely change after the Beta.

Conscripts are currently around 200 MP for 8 men.

[akn102991]

Sweet.  Seems about right.

Oh, and the Obligatory: 
OMG SO OP SO OP THIS IS RIDICULOUS HOW COULD THE RUSSIANS BE SO OP THE (fill in favorite doc/army) CAN'T COUNTER THIS BS.

Can Russians Reinforce?  In the design doc, it did say the infantry could not retreat, so I was wondering if they can reinforce also.

[BurroDiablo]

Russians can still reinforce, yes.  Technically, they can still retreat too, you just need to do it manually (no magical button that makes them run back to base)
