I would like to suggest that land units like the Railgun down to the normal infantry unit should have another element to it like supplies and ammunition and also it's condition because I find it unrealistic that say,a single unit could go on for miles loosing men with occasional drops in morale or how a single artillery piece could go on firing for days on a single target.I shall elaborate further.
SUPPLIES and AMMUNITION
-I'm suggesting that units should have a given amount of supplies and ammunition at the start of every game.
-Ammunition will only be used up when engaging with another unit while supplies (Grain/Fish)will be used up whether engaged or not.
-Amount of ammunition and supplies will be counted in days.
-You may have the option on every unit display to resupply them.This will give rise to a new unit whom I would like to see in action called the Supply Car or train.(Read further for further details)
-Supplies and ammunition would have a profound effect on the unit's morale and fighting capabilities.So if you have a unit with 0 days of ammunition,their fighting capabilities and morale could be reduced.The same goes for supplies.
CONDITION
-PERSONALLY,I find it unrealistic that armies could march on for so long without stopping for rest and lose so little morale at the same time.(I don't know about you about the morale thing but I think it's just a little)
-I propose that three conditions be proposed.
1.Healthy and Eager
2.Winded and OK
3.Tired and Uneager
-Each could either lower morale or increase the time a unit takes to get from Point A to B or both.
-Resting (Putting the unit in an ally or your own territory) can help raise it's condition.
SUPPLY CAR
-Earlier,I suggested units be supplied in the form of Supply Cars.This is the further elaboration of it.
REQUIREMENTS: Level 1 Workshop
RESOURCES/MONEY USED:500 Iron/500 Oil/1,000 Money
TIME TO PRODUCE:5 Hours
LOAD:4 days of ammunition/4 days of supplies
UPKEEP:Non
FIGHTING CAPABILITIES:0 (Hey,it carries load only,right?)
SPEED:75km/h on land,60km/h on sea
*Note:I decided to make it as cheap as possible so that it can be implemented on a wide scale by all countries.
PROS AND CONS OF SUPPLIES AND AMMUNITION AND THE SUPPLY CAR
PROS
-It'll add more realism to some units
-Now,you can starve the opposing army :D
-Not to mention,fish can now be actively used
-Tactics and logistics will now be a key part of keeping an army alive
-The cheapness of a Supply Car means everyone can have it :D (This may vary)
CONS
-It'll be such a pain in the *** to manage the morale and supplies at the same time
-Your entire army could be far away from home winning mass amounts of land only to be forced to retreat over the supplies/ammunition issue.
-It'll be a pain in the *** again to escort these vulnerable Supply Cars.
-It will be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long :/
Feel free to suggest more suggestions to improve it or criticise my suggestion.Thank you in advance :D
