Jerahoam Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 When you use a simple ground attack if you win the result as everyone knows is that you take technology, land, money,and destroy infrastructure. Now with this method it is assumed that the land you take has gotten all of its infrastructure destroyed, however in real life that usually is not true and usually there is something left that can be usable. I propose that when you use a ground assault and destroy infrastructure and take land that (lets say you would destroy 20 infrastructure) you would take 10% of that infrastructure since it is obviously placed on the land you just took. However to not penalize the defender for this change the 10% you take of that total is then subtracted from the total. So if you were going to destroy 20 infrastructure you would get 2 and actually destroy 18 infrastructure. This is just a thought that I had all of a sudden open to suggestions and whatever made it as plain and simple as i could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ofkind Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sounds logical, and the cap could just be set at like 1 - 5 just to keep things simple. Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerahoam Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 hmm doesn't seem to be many people at all that check this section of the forums. I still like this idea too so i am thinking on reposting it in the standard suggestion box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ofkind Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 you should because it's is universally acceptable, but i would go with along the lines of stealing infrastructure materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerahoam Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well I tried posting it two days ago, but apparently the mods have to see if they like it first before they actually post it lol. I doubt they will post it, but whatever it was worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic redhead Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Somehow I've got the mental image of a bunch of my soldiers running over to an enemy nation, shooting some soldiers, then running off with a telegraph pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsuki Koizumi Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 better than my picture of my guys doing a couple bomb raids and then using a shovel to dig out some asphalt and carrying it back to my nation taping it down onto my asphalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerahoam Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Although those are both hilarious scenarios, I thought i explained in my opening post as to why that is not what you should picture. In a ground assault you take land when you win, thus your expanding into your enemy's territory and taking their land which had their infrastructure placed on it. Obviously then your people will move into that new land and use the remaining infrastructure that was not destroyed since your population per mile goes down when you take that land. I mean if you saw a house with a few bullet holes in it would you demolish it to build a new house? Or a bridge that's perfectly intact? because essentially by infrastructure only being destroyed in an attack says that your people demolish everything to the ground. However not everything will be destroyed, I mean its only soldiers and tanks fighting its not like they are shooting nukes at each other. Also this is only for GAs nothing else. I believe that this works out perfectly as in its realistic and it should give even more of an incentive to tech raid I should say, which would be fine for TE.

Jerahoam Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 ahh well I got the message from the mods now that this idea was proposed in the past and was rejected, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
