Thread: Marketeconomy in Coh2 and other rts24 Sep 2014, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2014, 09:08 AMUnshavenbackman Ok, how was that economy set up? I still believe it would be a better system than having relic trying to balance the game. As an example Kubels would be very expensive at the moment. It would disable abuse. But what else would be expensive? All infantry would likely increase in price, since they're built more than other unit types. It's seldom that more than 2-4 snipers are built in a game, but what about Riflemen? Or Conscripts? Or Grenadiers? I think balancing a 'market economy' RTS would have its own challenges. As someone else pointed out, some units are meant to be produced more than others. Also, this might discourage alternate strategies, since building more of something would be penalized. This would introduce a pretty stale meta, I think, where everyone just built 1-2 of the most effective units they could, then 1-2 of the next most effective, etc. I really dislike this idea.

Thread: Is OKW the strongest faction currently?23 Sep 2014, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2014, 20:28 PMNinjaWJ I do see the flaktruck as a problem when it camps the VP/fuel, especially early. It is going to take a long time to take out, especially if there are units defending it. The frustrating thing is, that flak cannon puts the hurt on medium tanks too! Lowering its range and penetration seems like it'd be a good idea to me In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are Guards Pointless After Button Nerf?23 Sep 2014, 20:38 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2014, 20:24 PMShowtaro If so that nerf should only be applied to light veihcles like the scout car and halftracks. For tanks it was OK. Makes sense to me. I haven't felt compelled to build Guards Rifle since the patch. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: SU-76: A Real Discussion23 Sep 2014, 20:35 PM I like to build a couple against OKW as Soviets. They are adequate to scare off Pumas if you have a couple and/or you can keep at range, and with 2-3, their barrage is great against blobs, especially if you build 2-3 Maxims as well to trap them in place before the barrage starts. The weakest part of the OKW game, IMHO, is the midgame - they're stalling for fuel for their big guns, and riding on a Luchs, or Puma, and their scary inf blobs. SU-76 is great against this sort of stalling. I don't build them much against Ostheer, or teams with 2+ Ostheer on them, since Ostwinds, PIVs, etc can kill them way too easily. EDIT - I'd love to see them drop in cost (50-60 fuel) and get extra power against infantry, both with their normal attack, and with their barrage. Accuracy, splash, something. I'd like to see a rotation speed increase as well to aid in escaping. A vehicle damage buff would be nice, too, but I'd rather have them be an anti-infantry tool, I think. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: What new Soviet unit do you want to see in CoH2?23 Sep 2014, 20:12 PM I really want to see a Soviet officer, or 2. The idea of an NKVD officer that terrorizes his men into fighting better (a la the abortive Not One Step Back commander) is an interesting idea, but I'm sure there are other things a Soviet officer could do.

A muni cost would further devalue the unit. Are you thinking of the Zis barrage? That costs 60 munis. I say - decrease fuel to 50-60 (70 is too high) and make it a little better at hitting infantry with its normal attack, e.g. a larger splash on the shot. Make the barrage a little more accurate. too. Alternately, make the main gun do a little better against medium tanks? In: COH2 Balance
