15% is nothing in the grand scheme of thing. If without using BG your unit won't get OHQ bonus then you are losing out more.

Is there a way to plan out how much supply I need before an offensive, especially with many troops involved? Partway through my offensive basically all of my task force is starving. Worst part is I don't see major bottlenecks in the logistics close to the troops. The road+rail line going into the nearest city is blue on the bottleneck and the road directly going to my troops is green. The logistics tab on the unit tab says something about how no more pick up points could be used.

Usually thats because your troops are too far from a road. Press 6 to see how far they can actually venture from the road before supply cant reach them. Alternatively there is a bottleneck between them and the SHQ because all the supplies have to come from it (not the closest city).

Alternatively there is a bottleneck between them and the SHQ because all the supplies have to come from it (not the closest city). Yeah i'm getting bottlenecks from my SHQ to the front. I'm not sure if my traffic sign changes are going to help though. My unit supply request is about 47K and I don't think my SHQ logistics are enough to cover the front. Within 2 turns that supply request went up to 63K. EDIT: Supply increased from Red to Blue and my supply to units went up to 29K from 18.7K from playing with traffic signs although my Zone to SHQ decreased from 121K to 89K. How badly will Zone to SHQ supply issues affect my regime? Dreamsicle fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Dec 20, 2020 |

~7% Mountain ~83% Plains ~10% Oceans Is my sweetspot. This gives large, open areas that are segmented and bottlenecked by geography. Like, you know, a boardgame.

They will, not sure about the maximum length they'll consider, but I saw an oil drill pop up that was a hex away from one of my roads in a game or two. The terrain was flat/ruins though, so again not sure how private industry handles that.

Private industry loves making roads right where you don't want roads. Also I am pretty sure the ocean percentage is artificially capped until the naval update comes out.

Realized the criminals got up to 40+ crews in my capital. Brought my infantry brigade home and cracked down. A couple turns later, the syndicate is gone?! Law & order, baby!

It's not outlined anywhere, but having a garrison in your towns make those criminal eviction/worker rights march/unrest event rolls much easier. They also chip down unrest by their own. I usually raise 1k independent troops as a garrison and hit "0" to assign them as guards. I used to always get gutted early game with unrest events but a competent governor and a small garrison seems to really help.

Thats what Militia are for once you dont need them to hold the borders. That or you keep a cheap-as-possible infantry model around to raise for garrison duty.

Enough to get whatever buildings you have in the new city staffed...then not much need past that, unless you're planning on expanding the buildings in the zone.

Lawman 0 posted:I think I figured out this on my own (it's a gap along a dirt road) so how do I force a connection? From what it sounds like, you just need to increase the level of your truck and train stations to create more truck and train points along the path. That's really the only way to make it happen. Also double-check your Traffic Signs in case you're unintentionally limiting the flow along some roads, but I doubt that's the issue.

Use the bottlenecks supply view to ID where the network is over loaded and use traffic signs to direct more flow in that direction. Also build more trucks/trains (you can never have enough).

ThisIsJohnWayne posted:Pretty sure most models usefulness are locked behind their need for OOB operationalization. And yes that is maybe the least good system in the current game, to me anyway. 400 different variations of mobile infantry and they all take badly needed resources to develop and all is practically random and no design input from Mr. Big Boss allowed aaaaah    As this also works with the "discover" and then "research" approach the rest of the techs use, you should be relatively careful what formations you actually research. Each one you research opens up a TON of other formations. Which can make it very difficult to get the one you want. This tree is also used to upgrade/downgrade formations from one to another.

What I gathered is that you really shouldnt make another SHQ unless you have a divided empire or something. I'm sure there are edge cases where it might help but I bet most games you can get by with your starting shq

In my last game I made two extra SHQ's when I united with two far away Minor Farmer nations. So by buying some missing resources on the open market I could kick off the development of those zones, while I worked my way through the wild lands to make a connection. However, if your Empire is very large, it would be advantageous to split it up in different SHQ's. At the price of manually moving stuff between them, the total load on the transport network could be significantly reduced.

I think I finally got the hang of building infantry before getting utterly stomped on by a major power. Before I got taken out I had researched tanks and even designed a model for one but I couldn't figure out how to build any. Is there like a building I need to have or something for artillery/tanks?
