You can actually do it with air attacks. I've used jets on bridges many times.

So how many?

Its the cost thing. If you are in a battle with a larger county it is to your benefit to not waste cash or units.

Seven would probably do it. Nine definitely should.

I use jets when there's a straight shot. At least I know I won't lose any to enemy fire and won't really "waste" the money.

Got it. I was thinking missiles not jets.

If a treaty is broken, the other party should also have the ability to break it and therefore nullify the 21 day period. Attacks shouldn't be able to be made for 1 day after both break it.

Has the topic of Artillery ever come up? Supporting fire-power has been a standard part of warfare for the past few hundred years.

I suggest something that moves slowly, has relatively weak armour, but can indirectly attack something, say, 3 or 4 sectors away.

Seems possible...could work almost like the warship's attack function?

I liked an earlier thread about an aircraft carrier...say with a max of 6 or 8 jets, but you start with none...you upgrade sort of like an airbase but with a smaller attack radius so as not to make airfields mean less... also a troop transport ship for only infantry, I think it would encourage countries to use infantry more, perhaps 1 troop transport can carry 4 or 6 infantry...

I still like the idea of being able to split units after they are merged...

I believe there was a thread created about it some time ago, but I think air attacks serve that purpose well.

Would it be possible to create a unit just by clicking the sector you'd like that unit to exist in?

ie. Any sector in range of a land base could have the soldier image when you click on it, and beside that you'd have the + symbol (just like creating a land unit normally). This would make it a lot easier when mass spawning units, even in comparison to the "Auto Move on Creation" option.

(Of course, different units have different movement abilities - certain units would need to be grayed out if they're beyond the build/move range)

On another note, what else do you feel you need to complete before finishing the alpha version?

This would slow down the little control panel that pops up <i>dramatically</i>, since each click on land, bridge, or transport would need to check for land bases within range of the sector as well as a path from the sector to the base.

I could also code it to always list the "create" option, but then users would often get messages about a base not being nearby, which would be frustrating and make them wonder why it even displayed the option. haha

I actually just started a <a href="http://gt.toomuchstupid.com/board/t_t231">new thread</a> about this!
