Classical Warfare AEA

[Grautvornix]

@Emacz You are right - I only play SP (both vanilla and Wow's Delenda Est).

I have to admit, I never tried your mod so far, but it is on my must-do-next list.

Love to try it out and will be happy to let you know my feedback. As for all modders - thank you for taking this effort to introduce so many useful features/try out adaptations of the game mechanics. This is definitiely advancing the game!

Hahha I like it, although Ironically one of the ideas behind this project was to speed up eco a little to put more of a focus on the "war" and "strategies"

Well, a big part of "war" and "strategies" is logistics, and defending supply lines gives a depth beyond smashing against towers and fortresses. Funnily enough yesterday I was thinking about dropsites having a resource count and maximum capacity. You would indeed need to think how to automatise stuff to reduce micro as much as possible.

For more economic buildings, just go more realistic: a mine could be built on some mineral resources (like in Rise of Nations), what you extract is ores, then a smelter or foundry would give you the metals, which can be sent to the blacksmith, or others. Maybe that's too much, but games like Caesar III work like that. For example, the idea was that wood can be stored in some warehouse, from there it can be sent to construction, or exported, or if you build a woodshop it can make furniture, which can be exported for more money, or sent to the market, which your population acquires, again maybe a bit too much, but that's the idea. Check that game maybe.

That may be a little too complicated, maybe the raw metal that you have to refine, that might work, you could have your transporters go to a forge, it goes from raw to cooked metal, then it goes to your civic center. But that might make it hard though, even wagon trains or transporters would be hard to manage. It might be better to add in 1 smaller change, then add in 2 changes, instead of doing them at the same time, then you can get used to the one, then lean how to do the other one
