What do you think about carriers?

Hmmm. I've changed my mind a bit about air ranges. I think it is an absolute must for ships to be able to get out of the range of stationary airbases with a single turns movement. Fleets need to be able to disengage. Especailly with lethal bombardment.

With ships moving all terrain as roads, that is accomplished and things are 'balanced' by giving BB 3 or 4 movement and Blitz.

What is BB?

Maybe need further range for recon than for bomber missions. I have no problem with bomber missions being 8 tiles, but do with recon limited to 8 tiles.

Have not tried all terrain as roads. What exactly does this do? How does Blitz effect
ships/aircraft?

BB is the standard acronym for a Battleship.

Treat all terrain as road simply makes units able to move a lot further, but helps balance and restrict some other things that might interfere with gameplay.

It looks like I am not the only one who thinks 4 is not enough. Currently 53% want it to be more against 20,41% to let it be the same.

I think Cracker has a good point. If you want all those functions done, you would need at least 6 units. I think 8 units would do the trick for me. In my next game I will change this in the editor!

hi ,

what about putting the cost of the carrier higher and put 10-12 units on it , ........this way when half-way around the globe , a carrier can let its units bomb the zap out of the enemy , ......

like in the real world , .......

have a nice day
