Behemoth -> Any chance of getting more supply control (3/17/2005 4:49:17 PM)

I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere; but with the obvious "End of New Features" coming after the release of 1.5 made me willing to ask. I was wondering if we could ever get MORE control over the pooling of supplies. I know in other threads awhile back this was discussed, ie; Saesabo(i believe) pooling resources it didn't need, supplies getting stored up where they weren't needed, etc. This could be a feature that would allow the player flexibilty when setting up say, forward supply depots or rest and refit bases.
I know in the previous threads it was suggested that a pool supply button could get added for this purpose. I guess my question is: has anyone heard that this might be in the pipeline? Any info will be greatly appreciated, thx.

Not in the pipeline, Mike's got enough bugs to fix without creating new ones.

Interesting, I have seen reports of Japanese players not able to keep enough supplies at some Home Island Bases to get repairs done. Does this not sound like a bug in the program?

Like the Auto convoys, auto supply seems to be wonky. Bases where you need supply don't get it, bases where you don't get lots. Chucking this completely in PBEM would be great.

Or, you can look at this as a "historical feature".

Nope, this sounds like the classic overextention of Japan's resourcing. As Japan, you have to think ahead of the game. Most folks dive right in and run up massive supply shortages then have to pay the bill later. Japan starts with about 190 days worth of stockpiles. Burning them up in 100 days is going to catch up with you.

Oversimplification .......

The issue that has been discussed is the the game (by design) allows the Japanese player
to drop off supplies and/or resources at one or more of the ports on the home islands and that the game engine will distribute the supplies/resources to the various bases (within the home islands) based on need. Instead, there are occurrences where the game engine is like a squirell with its acorns and moves a huge chunk of stuff to a base that has no "apparent" demand. [:-]
