A few questions

[ainsworth74]

ok here we go, I have the demo with update 2.

1. Where do you find you rating with the WM?

2. How do I get myself out of the Sh*ter with the WM, as in a rating of 3% (got it from email) and I have been expeled.

3. Has anybody got any tips on how to protect E-3A AWACS from being shot down by enemy interceptors.

thank you.

1. one of the side panels, just open up everything and you wll see

2. is already answered in many posts, get a lesser unit build capacity then the other (AI) players. Scrap bases!

3. Move it further out of the border. It has huge spotting capability

you will see slightly less but then it survives

ok thank you.

I found that paying off loans, signing agreements with AI's and investing in DAR and enviroment helps. Also MAKE DAM SURE your at peace and stay that way, if they hate you, you can't afford to be in a war even if you don't start it, as the AI normally has good WMAR(well I think thats the reason why they get upset when fighting a defensive war)

Lower build cap also leads to better relationship with neighbors.

About build cap: consider that 2 small base have the same build cap as 1 medium base, but cost more in maintenance cost and need more personnel. It is worst when doing 3 outposts instead of 1 small base. Airstrip and sea pier also provide supply (not as much as bases) and won't increase build cap.

[haenkie]

but then again, three outpost nearer your 'front' lines (borders) are most often better (it is quicker to get the troops moved there and repaired)

but if costs are the thing then yea one big base would be cheaper then dozens small ones.

One complication is that bases provide supply. Closing many bases may disrupt supply, leading to production and military reductions in effectiveness.

You can augment supply by building supply depots and other non-build capable bases but this adds a temporary cost/delay.

Until you gain air superiority, it is dangerous to take any sort of unprotected plane (awacs, air drop, resupply, etc) over enemy territory. The AI leaders tend to make good use of their interceptors to, well, "intercept" such incursions.
