Trugrit -> RE: WitP-AE Editor Terminology Question (8/20/2015 10:29:48 AM)

The ME means Monsoon Effect.
The supply cap number shown beside it in the Editor is a factor to be multiplied by the port size, airfield size and fortification level added together. In the game, the number shown on the base screen is the max supply cap during the dry season. It would be half that during Monsoon.
As per this Thread:
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3793632
And the charts by Skyros in the thread.
Ref LargeSlowTarget post number 10:
During the dry season:
Bangkok would have 1000 x (P+A+F) = X (To Max of 8,000)
The (P+A+F) is coded into the base attribute so it cannot exceed the number 8 in Bangkok.
During Monsoon season (May 15 to Oct 15) the game code makes the factor half what is shown in the Editor.
Bangkok would have 500 x (P+A+F) = X (To Max of 4,000)
Because the (P+A+F) is hard coded to not exceed the number 8 in Bangkok.
The supply cap is the maximum supply that a base can receive in one day from supply movement
(meaning for example that airlifts, sea-lifts, etc. do not count toward the cap)….. as per Witpqs in post number24.
As I understand it a player can’t use the Editor in the “normal way” to make the Monsoon more severe without hurting the Base supply cap during the dry season. The only way would be to edit the code that cuts it in half.
If that is wrong I hope someone (Alfred) will correct me.
