Title: Will there be a tweak to munitions upkeep costs?
Post by: bopokippo on January 05, 2012, 04:08:53 AM: Well I feel that munitions upkeep for certain units conflicts far too much with armory upgrades as well as for full rifles for conscripts (Which atm i think full rifle cost is very slightly too high. Maybe lower to 40 or 35). With munitions upkeep for my units, even if I don't want to necessarily use the abilities the unit has for the time being, I am still essentially paying for them. Now, the problem comes when I want 85mm guns, heavy mortars, full rifle upgrades for my conscripts, sniper artillery, etc. I basically have to avoid certain units entirely to save up enough munitions for them which I find somewhat strange. 85mm upgun is 150 munitions and heavy mortar is somewhere around 100. If I want these upgrades later in the game, it is basically impossible without killing off my munitions upkeep required units. Personally I would just rather see munitions upkeep removed and individual munitions costs added to each ability or a decrease or nonexistant munitions cost for some armory upgrades.

Sorry, I'm just really happy to see this. The munitions upkeep has been bothering me for a long time, and it makes the Soviets feel... Not up to par with the rest. Good riddance I say!

Seriously? That seems a tad odd :P. I guess you cant use molotovs early on anymore. They better be doing some really good dmg for 100 muni

Does every squad get molotovs now ???

Post by: Alexander 'ApeMen' J. on January 08, 2012, 10:27:16 PM: we just thought that is a cool idea to go back to version 1.0

so we removed the retreat for soviets, everything again for free but therefore we removed the cooldowns
its extrem funny to spam molotovs in the early
last time the whole mal was in flames :P

we also removed the major in the command squad and replaced him with stalin himself :D
