Development / supply carts
« on: October 23, 2012, 09:38:43 AM »
As i have thought a little on supply that the troops do use now, i came to the conclusion that there should be supply tracks that can be sent to any location from a realms capital. this option of course should spawn a supply caravan that does "physically" move on the map and can be attacked at any time and travels rather slow! This would bring a new strategic layer into the game.
Of course this must pay for the realm that initiates the caravan. I.E.: covering the supplies for a big army for two weeks before the next caravan has to arrive.
Also the movement of a supply caravan should be calculated so that an army, that has to retreat from a region in which their supplies are in, really are forced to let their supplies go.
This would make guerilla tactics much more applicable.
A realm then has the option to either send their supplies unprotected, making their main army stronger OR protecting their supply routes with Nobles as caravan guards! This would be most welcome.
Their should also be a option to intercept caravans on the sea!

i do play BM since 2006 now and do think that i should have gotten around the idea of how to post scouting reports.....
