Thought: Unit Upkeep
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 4:22 am
I have been throwing some ideas at dustin and seems couple of them were actually good He asked me to post them here for further discussion.
I thought the game might be more solid and entertaining if there was some kind of limit to the army sizes. So my thought was unit upkeep. It would not completely remove the advantage the larger nation has but would add more challenges perhaps. To maintain a large army you need to have enough gain but if you have a huge army larger portion of the gain goes to maintaining existing units and less gold is available to recruit new ones.
Right now coming back when you are behind is almost impossible. If there was an upkeep, the guy ahead has to keep aggressive and not just wait for the gain to do it's job. I mean if more land/more army would mean less gold per gain... I hope that makes sense
I realise this might cause game balancing issues but hopefully not too big ...
