Well next up we can shoot down Phantoms build up due to him not having the manufacturing capability for the army he put together in Svaboda.
His actual manufacturing capability: $129,000 (50k base, 50k Manufacturing, 25k Economy, 4k Logistics)
The manufacturing he did: x5 Laser Rifles, $85,000, x2 Interceptor, $70,000, x1 General, $5,000. For a sum total of $160,000
For future reference, hiring generals does not count towards your manufacturing for a province. After all, you're merely training him, not constructing a super-robot body for him. But yeah, I'll take an Interceptor away from him then.
And we're at 7 total provinces that might have rebelled. 3/7? Reasonable enough for me. But I still contest free laser rifles.
7 is the correct number. Sorry about that.
Furthermore: I take issue with the ability to buy Espionage points and then spend them the same turn. This completely removes the point of CE's -1k to EP's per rank, per turn. As they can simply be bought in sufficient quantity, and used with no issue.
Yeah. I'll add that to the rules then. Honestly I don't like the entire way that EPs are handled. Too complicated and unwieldy. For the next game I'll overhaul the system.
Edit: EVEN BETTER!
I am willing to accept that Brutal suppression drops exact %'s on rebellion to 0. Then its a matter of contesting tech. This means that based on last turn, Sheb cannot succeed(Espionage Tech 2: Volunteer Spies vs My CE 2: Swat Teams) Only Phantom and BD can. Admittedly this might give one of my enemies laser rifles as it would be Phantom's success but yknow what? Still fine with that. Cause it drops total rebellious provinces to 2.
That's probably the best compromise we could come up with. Unless CyberGenesis objects, I'm going to follow your suggestion.
STILL calling bullshit on phantom being allowed to join at the END of the game, simply to prolong the game by helping sheb when he was nearly finished.
Well, it's a bit late now. Voicing your opinions earlier would have been useful.
USEC: i didnt change by budet by a missing 350k though. it was maybe 50 since i recall my orders being 150 into bunkers and 100 into defenses, so if only 400/700 was used, where's my other 300k?
Looks like I somehow gave you $400,000 into Core Tap instead of $700,000. If you did change the amount to $400,000, I'll fix it.
Added the extra techs that Terenos and Cybergenesis got from the ESS Pwenet. 57 will revert to the New Unity, and the number of units in 3 and 54 will depend on how the battles go.
