Potential economic system

In dawn of war 2 (maybe it is just the elite mod), income from points increases over time. I was curious if you could do this for Company of Heroes 2 and you can.

How did you do this? Clone the strategic point and add a delayed change target action for mp/muni/fuel tick increase?

This could add a bit more strategic depth in the game. Decapturing a point would cause more fuel and munitions income damage rather than an inconvenience. It would also reset all cut off sectors causing even more damage and give even more of a focus to focus cut off points and cause new abilities to more 'damage' such as Encirclement's Break Supply Line.

I shortened the delays for the video.

Thank you. Are the territory_points standardized for all maps? I am assuming they are since there is an applicable epbs

*In case anyone haven't read it, basically popcap mp upkeep is dynamic and repairing incurs in a mp gain penalty to offset pure vehicles builds.

Assuming I understand what you're saying correctly, I think Coh1 already had systems like that but they weren't carried over to Coh2 for whatever reason.

You would have to change map design entirely to fit this new mechanic.

I was playing elite mod for a while and got 2nd place in a B bracket tourney so here's my thoughts.

There's a reason why Dow2's eco works. There are no cutoffs, only Requisition points mature, and requsitions feeds into power which is the "fuel" of the Dow2. There is no requirement in getting resources other than capturing a point in Coh2 but in Dow2 you have to invest 125 + 3x100 requsition to get a fully operation power farm which the enemy can bash. Dow2 is all about aggressively decapping and destroying power farm to set the enemy back and there's a lot of mobility offered in that game not present in Coh2. That system wouldn't work here because inherently some points will never get decapped in coh because there's not enough movement mechanics to support such a play.

There is potential for more mobile units. Kubel, M3A1 Scout Car, WC51, and Universal Carrier all could take another look at. I have a video being rendered right now how to balance them, but it could become mobile capture, support, and flanking units.
