I play AoE3. I'm terrified by the idea of a new impementation on the homecity system.
In the homecity system you build a deck of call ins, be it resources, modifications to building properties, unlocking exclusive techs, unique upgrades to units and of course, unit call ins.

In AoE3 your decks had limits depending on the Homecity lvl (because each individual homecity, one for each civ, gains in game experience). There were card locked behind lvl25 and lvl 45, the last one being the most gamechanging ones, like one that allows the russians to build cannons from their barracks or turned every light infantry unit (a really cheap and spamable one with call ins that numbered 11 or 17 of them) into musketeers, heavy infantry.

This is currently bypassed by a XPmod that grant your homecities lvl 100, without affecting your player stats (that are tied to your account not your civ)

With the current trends of the gaming industry we could end up paying for new cards the same we pay for doctrines now, or worse, end up in a reward rulete like the new loot boxes trend

You can't destroy OKW structures by using arty. You won't deal enough or (consistent) damage to actually destroy them. They will get repaired in no time thanks to strums repair times. You need an armored assault to secure the kill

The best you can do is to guess the point where okw units will clump by the medic truck and hope for some wipes while you wait for the inevitable dive bomb

Amazing.
Cons had vet3 as early as minute 7.

Also recon flares. Such a usefull ability that complements maxims and and give LOS to find his mg, spot his arc of fire and flank it.

Its kinda heavy on munitions though. I think I didn't see you go beyond the 100 ammo count at any point.

Really intresting to see something else appart from penals (which I've been forced to use every game because cons are so unreliable)

Today I was playing in Bryansk forest and something strage happened.

A unit of Obersoldaten were shooting at my mortar safely placed behind the trees left of the middle VP, just after my maxim decided to retreat THROUGH the impasable trees. It works both ways

Or maybe make it only viable in 2v2s.

I've been thinking about special cap points, like the repair stations in the refinery map, in game modes outside 1v1.

Anyways I like the idea of removing FRP and giving each faction better soft retreat options. It rewards carefull playing.

Now ostheer has another healing option thanks to the medikit rework. Soviets can now use M3's to drop medical supplys (thus, not being a wortless unit outside the first minutes). OKW can drop medical supplies on their base with strumpioneere and the Batallion HQ could be used as forward point to heal and reinforce, as they don't have access to halftracks. UKF has the most reliable healing option in their tommys. USF only have their ambulance so that might be a problem
