TovarishMimino 10 Posted April 8, 2010 If the Supply Truck AI is too much bother to fix, or even if it isn't, these might be interesting replacements or add ons to them. Obviously if these are to be implemented the supply origins would need be switched from HQ to either towns, or deployable structures. 1 - Railroads. Railroads connect several major cities, so why not run supply trains, I would assume it would be much easier for AI to navigate on the tracks. 2 - Shipping lanes. There are several coastal cities with docks, and shipping is the most popular way of doing commerce, so why not use ships to transport goods and supplies? 3 - Airports. Might not be worthwhile as there are only a few airfields on the map, but just throwing it in here for discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladlon 10 Posted April 11, 2010 I would imagine that it's a bit tricky, and more CPU strain to keep track of the convoys.... but I see what you are saying. One possible solution that kind of addresses that, but without so much CPU strain might be to simply have the supplies at the train stations, docks and airports (without the physical vehicle moving to and from it). That way, if you need supplies, you know to go to the nearest one of those. If this issue with that is that you don't want the supplies ALWAYS there (which perhaps is why you might be suggesting the moving vehicles), so you have to wait for them... you could just have the cargo/supplies APPEAR after certain intervals (without bothering with the vehicles themselves). Just my 2 cents.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my 2 cents.. I think either you misunderstood me, or I misunderstood you. I'm not talking about supplies like for re-arming and fuel. I'm talking about those supplies that get delivered from HQ to all towns in order to generate money and supply points. In most custom warfare games it is done via a timer, and no supply trucks ever leave the town, which also eliminated the opportunity to hit the enemy supply lines in a guerrilla warfare style of gameplay.

ladlon 10 Posted April 11, 2010 Yep, I misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about regular missions and stuff. I haven't played warfare (other than visiting it alone once). My bad... Ya, if that's the case, then supply trucks WOULD be cool.. as they would (as you mentioned) give you opportunity to ambush them and have an affect). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted April 19, 2010 It's simple, just use a version that has the trucks. Plenty of em are out there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
