Warlord Toby:
Make it so that you can embark units on small dropships much like how units embark on merchant marine ships
And give them capability to path find between solar systems to cut on the tediousness of the process
So dropships would simply drop in units whereas actual troop transports and cargo ships provide appropriate supply
I think I mentioned somewhere having a "transport pool" similar to the strategic pool that would provide transports to use. This way the ability to spam your whole army from place to place would be limited, and you would have to do some more planning/protect your units. Maybe the "transport pool" could have escorts assigned to it?Balthagor wrote:Second, where should the AI send them? How many should it send? There are answers to such questions, but they overlap with improvements to the AI overall and are not quick to implement.
The AI would need to be taught where to deliver these troops to still. Maybe they should drop them only onto friendly territory, which would then require them to use other means to get a foothold to start off with.
