@pejon_88 yes
-
@pejon_88 and I don’t like it. We should have nerfed the CR’s instead.
-
@aequitas-et-veritas The cruisers?
-
@pejon_88 yes the Cruisers. A while ago we had a discussion about them. How often they used and purchased, BB’s as well.
Well since BM has a new unit in it (the Marine) it would have made more sense to nerf the CR to the degree to make the cost lower but also could be kinda customized by adding either an AA-Gun ability, extra movement point etc. to bring it into game more frequently and also add some spice to it.A few month later the bmbr nerf came out with finished results and incorporated in the newest update of BM3. Wich is actually a BM4.
IMO it would havd made more sense to make it an Option in the map options instead of the way it is right now. Final!
People still tend to buy bmbrs bc it comes out of a neccessarity in the game. You need some flexibility at some point in the game.

What about changing the cruiser to…
cost 10
attack 2
def 3
move 2
keep the marine ability as well as the bombard ability, but at a 2.I think this gives people a reason to buy it without making it too powerful. it would also be cool to have more of a defensive ship that isn’t a carrier.
You would have the sub which is offensive, the destroyer which would be a middle ground, and a cruiser which would be a defensive ship making navy compositions more interesting and unique.

Have we considered doubling the price of units and income from territories/bonuses in order to fine-tune pricing and stats?
Alternatively/additionally, we could use 12 sided dice in order to further increase fine-tuning.

Because it is incorporated in version 4.0.0 right?
i dont understand how 12 vs 14 is controlled. I have version 4.0.0, but when I start a new game bombers are at 12.
Right now I have two games going on one is with bombers at 12 the other is with bombers at 14. Both seem to work fine. I have not set up any of these games though

This could be one possible way.

This is less of an option, therefore PtV was made to benefit of a finetuned map with additional rules and set up.

This should not be possible with a Balanced Mod, purchase first game. If you have BM4, bombers should be 14.
This change has not been put into combat move first, which is still version 3.x.

I’ve been thinking about this and I quite like the idea. Can one of the mod devs give some feedback?
With this change, I can see myself buying cruisers in all kinds of situations without them being useful in every type of situation like a destroyer

I also like this suggestion and the reasoning why it would make cruisers interesting and hopefully more frequently purchased.
Forgive my ignorance if this has been suggested before, but why not keep the stats for cruisers as they are now but just lower the cost to 10 and see how it goes, if it turns out to be an over-correction then the stats could be adjusted (and in the mean time everyone is having massive fun with loads of cruisers! :ship: :ship: :ship: ).

@flyingbadger Cruisers with the same stats costing 10 would become more cost-efficient in fleet battles than carrier+2 air which is not what we want.
-
@adam514 can you explain this please a little bit further.
It doesn’t click. -
@aequitas-et-veritas I mean that instead of buying fighters at 10 and having to buy a carrier to host them for 3 attack 4 defense, you are better off buying cruisers instead at 10 and skipping the carrier. In other words, if you put equal TUV of cruisers costing 10 vs fighters and carriers in the battle calculator, cruisers would have the advantage.

Fair enough, I’ve not much experience or done any study into it. In my head they just felt about equal and I’d love to buy cruisers more. Would love to feel like I’d need to build balanced fleets of destroyers, cruisers and carriers but very much enjoy playing it as it is.
-
@flyingbadger That’s where the loading marine ability comes in. It’s still a pretty niche use, but cruisers are reasonable to purchase in some situations.
-
@adam514 thank you for explaining it.
-
@Adam514 what about the fact that carriers take two hits and itself defends at 2 or less in defense?
-
@pejon_88 It’s taken into account in the battle calc I proposed. They actually fight pretty evenly in the battle calc, but in a real fight there would be more fodder ships, which would advantage the cruiser fleet above the carrier-fighter fleet.
