1. the game shouldn't have any limits and if so, the players should be able to mod the limits out of the game.
with limits i mean for example a military units number limit.
particularly 3d games have such restrictive limits, and thats the reason why i have an aversion against 3d games. times change and so do the computers (they get faster), thats what they often forget.
i dont want to build only 65.454 units or 2.000.000 but much more.
i think its only a number or integer type that has to be changed, for example to 32 bit or 64 bit if it wasnt done yet.. the player has to decide whether he wants a limit or not (by modding) and i dont want limitations. nobody should impose his will on some poor player, which encounters a screen like "limit of 300 units is reached, no further production of units possible".
i decide how much i want to produce/train.
in every game i tend to build as many units as my computer is able to process, for example i built in hoi2 more then 10.000 divisions, flotillas and squadrons. the next time i play it, i will make even much more.
plz dont make any limit. limits kill the fun of a game forever. real tacticians can make their own limits but not at the cost of others.
the limit should only be the own computer. i like massive scale wars, where i attack with millions of troops more countries simultanously.
i am lying so much hope into the game, that it will be the best game ever.
2. there shouldn`t be any ressource limits and you should be able to modificate and create any techs and new upgrades of factories, which have an unrealisticly high capacity. ( i dont like active cheats, but to mod it into the game that it has some kind of justification and story á la "miracoulous breakthrough")
so for example smallest regions could (if i mod this into the game when the possibility for it is given by the code) make a sudden successful strike on a big neighbour.
what would be also perfect would be, if you could research techs which make it possible to build (special) mines and other ressource producing buildings on hex-fields where there is no ressource of such type (or that you can find it exactly at the place where you want to build the mine) and exploiting 100 % of it if you have the right tech. good example is germany which made stuff even of **** (inferior ore, brown coal, wood, alcohol, water) and much of the knowledge is lost today! i dont talk about having this in game but to be able to do this by modding. plz no limits in modding. its clear that the game eninge is untouchable, but the decoration is indeed if everything goes right.
3. it ought to be possible to mod the consumption (by the population, by the military) of every material and set it to low(est) numbers by choice/tech or that you can build some new unit which has no supply consumption or a very low one.
so for example i could control a hyper military force almost without any supply demands for fuel, supply goods and so on, even when owning a minor nation.
3. it would be well if everything could be reversible. i mean, that you can release any annexed nation and attack it as often as you want.
hoi2 is a good example for this.
there i attacked one nation again and again after annexing and releasing it, i know that i am a sadist and i like to play really long term games.
for example its not rare that i play matches beyond the year 1975 given the fact that i start 1936. sometimes it takes weeks for one scenario!
in superpower 2 the game was over when you had the world in your hands, because you couldnt free any annexed nations.
5. the effects of nuclear attacks should also be reversible, i mean such crap like endless radiation, neverending shrinkage of population. in reality after two weeks you are relatively safe, maybe the athmosphere causes trouble for some months but after it, everything is ok, besides the fact that everything has to be rebuilt and the population to grow.
in reality mankind could easily survive any nuclear warfare, so plz make it possible to rebuild everything after even a 30.000 MT exchange, no matter if it takes 20 or 50 years in game.
in hoi2 there was the problem that the population never recovered in those provinces which were attacked and finally you had no manpower. the fact is that there will be a population growth at any time, when stimulated rightly (by a backward, repressive regime? that forces every woman to have 10 children
or by imposing poverty on the majority of ppl.).plz make something you could use to trigger your pop.growth to unbelievable numbers. like 20 % per year in a third world country under the rule of the right regime.
and the story with emigration, that you can set emigration to almost or exactly 0 (by force when needed) like in the gdr, where almost noone could flee without being shot!
my desire is, that i can make nuclear war as often as i want no matter if i attack the same nation 10 times whenever they have rebuilt their economy.
in global power there was a limit which told you "game over" when you filled your lifetime permission of lets say shooting 50 big nukes at a random enemy. that was an unnessecary paternalism. i decide when there is time for doomsday if at all, but not by not using nukes!
another thing is: is it possible to make nuke tests in the water, neutral area or in the own country, even on the own people if they cause trouble? i mean simply to fire nukes on whererever you want if you have the right techs.
it would be very nice if you could warn a human player or the ai by letting explode a nuke in front of his coast. nothing better then looking at an aesthetic big 50 MT nuke explosion in nobodys land for purposes of general amusement. talking about the limit of nukes i think it shouldt be under 100 MT. 100 MT are easily feasible with our techs.
tsar bomb ( i know it was only for prestige and not easily usable, but why not in 2020?)6. the room to mod units of a completely new class into the game like battlecruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, patrol boats, mine boats?..... and battleships (it is said that they will be more important in the future as the americans are researching new fast and plane killing railguns with an astonishing range of more hundred km)
by the years 2020-2030 it could be realized.
a war without having every ship class/type which was introduced in the modern age and those impressing big ships is boring. nowadays there are no real impressive ships. i am a fetishist of big fleets. in hoi2 i had over 200 fleets with á 30 ships/squadrons.
its not only about strength and usability, but often prestige and of course it would be good to research new techs which strengthen the position of the battleships against the CV and CVL. who says that it is not possible to bring every type of weapon to a new quality of efficiency.
everything can be made with the right will/decision. today we have the concept of small ships but with the right techs of the future everything can change, primarily if we experience big tensions or even big wars in the future. wars or times of tension often lead to new and bigger weapons. there is an unforeseen outpouring of military knowledge and tech. this converts after a certain period in civilian techs. (example atomic bomb, medicine in ww2, engine efficiency..........)
every type of war has its own inventions. big continental wars cry at big panzers a la maus or P 1500 or at mörser karl, dicke berta, dora......
big water or isle wars cry at CVs, LCV, naval bombers........
some annihilation wars need good bombers and so on,
so plz no limits with the argumentation that "the warfare is likely to be of a spcial type for example with small weapons" every dictator or leader in the game should decide by himself what kind of weapons he wants to research, not only what most people would do.
7. another thing is that i would like to build and destroy/abandon cities. for example if i dont like to have a city straight to the border of a powerful neighbour and want to evacuate my people to another place.
for example i want to destroy berlin because its too near to poland and build in a hex field of my choice my city of desire. cost doesnt matter, if i want to resettle lets say 4 mio people. in china it is common to resettle people when they make some big projects. (Three Gorges Dam,.....)
to be able to actively allocate your population to a hex of your choice would also be superb. (maybe in an addon later)
and plz no population limit and the aggriculture should be moddable in a way that a country like switzerland can feed with 10 farms 20 billion people, no matter how long it takes that the population reaches that amount!
at last (for addon) there is another thing which concerns me
its the thing with "national" and "occupied/annexed" provinces, that they arent loyal towards you.
what is if i want to conquer with germany the old lost territories and integrate them into germany by reallocating some german people there so it becomes a national province. it would be really nice if feasible in a later addon. maybe introducing in future a system of "nationality, race, religion" with homogenity as source of stability and diversity as destabilizing certain governmental types. so for example cuba is very diversified, communist and relatively stable. (unconsidered the embargo or economic effects which also cause some unrest)
countries like france, germany (still to a lesser degree) which are a type of "social democracy" are relatively unstable because of many disadvantaged and unassimilated immigrants. (unconsidered their relatively high wealth) if both were equal in an economic way, france/germany would be less stable then cuba.
if we take the religious impact into account, the situation gets even more complex. maybe one day it will work to develop an addon for display and play with it.
ok i hope that was it, i hope that everything will work out,
thanks
