Re: A couple of suggestions
Which will not be happening, anytime soon.
The Allies page loads the foreign OOB, leader values, name tables etc and then creates the formations and units, before returning to the main OB table and re-reloading all the creation data for that.
Which is all well and good for one single battle. There wont be any code to look up nationality, load the entire foreign data set and then do calculations for that for each test for e.g. leadership progress, new leader (if killed) and so on and so forth.
And then there is the "change unit" upgrade page - which unit set do we allow for upgrades, the home or the away set? (cant be both - or several if umpteen allies are present). If we stick to away, then how many end users will now whine endlessly about not being able to give their Ruritanian auxiliaries shiny Grumble IV MBTs like the main Ferengi core and they are stuck with the old Ruritanian T34-76 in 1999?.
What happens if the Ruritanian allies are only available for 1 year of a three year long campaign eh?. We cant just delete Ruritanian formations since the end user may have cross attached all over the place.
What if the end user went hog-wild with more than 1 ally in the core force?.
Too many variables and knots to get twisted into.
You are playing as the Ferengi, and any allies are simply another form of support troops. And that is all.
