Missle Users

Well Missiles definitely need to be adjusted. I just needed a starting point for them and we will adjust each set till we get them in good shape. I think the cost is a little high.

One thing I am thinking about is lowering how many upgrades there are. With the units we have and the changes on the attacks, it does require a large amount of upgrades so maybe instead of 8 we should have 5 or 6???? Just a thought.

Personally I like having missiles in the game. Even with the low member count they still serve a purpose. We just need to tweak them a little more is all.

Also, bombers need to be lowered as well.. Across the board!

I was playing some strategy games on the comp the other day and was musing about this game when something came up in the dusty old attic of mine: why not bundle units together and make their upgrades tied to each other?

An example would be upgrading Air Systems- one upgrade would use some turns, some cash, but would upgrade bombers and jets. Missile systems would upgrade both SAMs and attack missiles. You could always leave ships/spies as is, taking less money/turns to balance it out (only one unit being uprgraded here). Ground systems would upgrade inf and tanks.
You could always go all out and do a single costly upgrade that makes everything go up a level. Prices and turns would need tweaking no doubt, but it could work.

Eliminate the per unit cost while upgrading (flat price) and people will be able to maintain defense while going about their business. I know the newer players would enjoy it since its one less thing to worry about. With the new unit and new attacks, it would simplify everything for everyone without having to retool too much.

Anyone gonna answer my question?

Question: which kind of missiles are you referring to when you created the feature? Artillery Missiles? Nuke Missile?

Sorry never saw this.. They are designed around ballistic missiles. I put them in play now cause there will come a day the missile unit won't be used as it is now. It will be tech based and you will only receive them as you grow tech.. We will then have nuclear missiles that will have greater destruction, but it's own attack and not tied in with the others.

Grouping them is an interesting idea. I don't think 1 upgrade for everything would be good, but i'm interested in grouping air units, ground units ect ect..
