looking for comments about mooded unit stats

[korn469]

ok i've been editing the units stats and i'd like to get some feedback on them...there are also a few things you need to take into account, i dropped the defensive terrain bonus on everything except forrest, jungle, hills, and mountains, i also increased the fortifed bonus from 25% to 50% decreased the cities per army to 2, and changed the intercept rates to 75% for normal aircraft and 4% for stealth aircraft

so with that in mind what do you think of the modded unit stats?

horseman/chariots are FAR to strong. and mounted warriors would simply own.
most of the unit stats seem to work, but i would have to play it to know for sure...
i am not entirely sure what some of your numbers mean. (for the guerilla particularly)

i like many of your changes, but the engineer needs to go. they would allow you to rebuild roads the turn dirrectly after they are destroyed. this eliminates much of the strategy of bombardment...
for the most part, i love you changes to naval warfare, but ironclads should NOT be as strong as destroyers!
also, i don't think destroyers should be upgradeable to aegis cruisers. however, you could add Heavy cruiser as a naval unit, and make that upgradeable to aegis.

one last thing. do you know if it's possible to make a specific unit have a HIGHER upkeep (knights), this would be realistic and imrove ballance.

zorbop,

as far as horsemen and chariots go, you are taking into account the fact that fortified units get +50% instead of +25%

so a fortified spearman in a city (or a town with walls) would have a 4 defensive strength and only cost half as much a horseman

still tho you may be right

as for my unit notation it goes like this

a.d.m bmb str/bmb rng/RoF cost shld/cost pop special abilities, required technology, unit it upgrades to, resources

so for the guerilla

it has two attack, one defense, three movement twelve bombard strength, one bombard range, 4 rate of fire, it cost ten shields and two population it has those listed specials, it comes with communism, and does't require any resources to build

i'll take that into account for the engineer

iron clads aren't nearly as strong as destroyers...they cannot attack a destroyer very successfully (20 vs. 26) and on defense they don't have an advantage (16 vs. 16)

to me ironclads go from fleets/flotillas of ironclads from the US civil war up to HMS dreadnaught, and then battleships go from there...i moved ironclads back so there is a shorter gap between ironclads and destroyers, and they cost the same

as for destroyers upgrading to Aegis Cruisers, they both fill the same role imo, and there isn't any reason to have both units be in the build queue

i don't think you can make units cost more upkeep, but if you could I'd love it and agree that it could help out quite a bit in balancing units

thanks for the feedback!
