I've tried to post it on the forum, but i havent recieved my registration email... so here they are:

It is abnormal to build the same hospital for big cities and small ones. I suggest all the hospitals recover 250 energy but with different capacities (all share the same duration). Above that daily limit no soldier gains energy.

Every worker constructing hospitals uses 2000 HRM, but the hospital sizes varies through quality. Each star is 20% of the full (now q5) hospital. Thus a q1 needs only 10 workers (without bonuses) and 20k HRM, a q3's cost is 30 workers and 60k HRM. Their capacity is 50, 150, 300, 500, 750.

Thus if your society is small, you get cheaper hospitals, if larger you need more on several regions (still only one hospital/region). However building a lot of small one is more expensive than hogher ones, so every country will have their own needs and solutions. Also the one hospital per region implies.

Defense systems also must help defense and smaller countries may build smaller ones. My suggestion is the following: all DS have the same effectivity of 25% when defending the region, and their costs are the same as wrote above at hospitals, but the countries's number of regions cap their level. So a q1 DS is only available when the country possess only one region. A q2 may support a 3 regions-country, q3 is for 6, q4 for countries at 10 regions max, and q5 for everyone. If the country has more regions, the DS is inactive. I know, some countries have more core regions, but hey, it is also harder to delete you! So you gain and lose... Every region may have only one DS, writing over the previous. Their durability is the same as before.

I also suggest: DS wont get destructed when captured, but helps the resistance force while is not obsolete, even in RW, even in direct wars between the two nations, and even in a third party war, but in that case only the rightful owners soldiers get the bonus on any side they are fighting. This bonus is regadrless of the quality (and number of regions in hand), 10%.

These two changes may help small countries stay on the map, and evolve their society, the productivity is an other issue (my third suggestion below), but it is not that important change as these. Also think about: you need a certain rank to use tank and another to use helies. That could give some importance to these not that useful factories...





Original article:


Bans here and there, that happens. The game itself has much worse problems than that.

The game favours big countries, big empires, that is awesome, but this should have it's own weaknesses as well. The Hospitals and Defense systems must have a capacity. It has a duration now, but silly to have the same type Hospital in London and in Paris, for  (at least) ten times less citizens. That s why small countries can not evolve. By the way have you seen a Q5- hospital lately?
I propose: all hospitals give the same amount of energy recovery, but with different capacities. For example q5 supports 1000 citizens per day, q1 supports only 100. (at least we will travel to different regions, not only in the capitals)

Also Defense Systems must have a capacity as well, am i supposed to build a bunker for 4000 soldiers while there are only 400 of us? It has a difference on effect, that is fine, still my question stands: when have you seen a q2 DS? The other issue is occupied regions. I support the idea, the DS becomes weapon of revollution in occupied regions, CP can only build it on its core regions, but when it is occupied it supports the resistance with half its effectiveness.
I propose: Defense Systems must support resistance forces and must have capacities in damage like q5 defends 2kkk  damage, q1 only 500kk (not the 10 times as before, even small countries needs support), or in defending citizens like above.

Also funny how the resources are handled. Sweden need one fish, but that one fish is enough for Iran as well. I propose small countries suffer less penalty for missing resources, like a country with only 200 citizens and no relevant regions may produce at +50%, and bigger countries need more resources, like every resource (of the same type) supports 1000+the amount of the previous supported (0 resource 0, 1 resource 1000, 2 resources 3000, 3 - 6000, 4- 10000) and the productivity bonus implies as before (with one resource, and 1100 citizens it wont drop to zero, just like 99% or so).
I propose: resources must be used as used in real life. (irl: on the Antarctica there is no food bonus at all, still no one starves to death, and China produces more rice than Europe combined still may have hungry citizens...)



These suggestions are not to improve the gameplay but to save the game itself. You must see, the balance is out of question, but developers still have the chance to save the small nations.
