The Ostheer (concept by me)
Ok, it seems to be the right place for posting this stuff, so here it is.
Special Features
*The Ostheer doesnt build up their buildings, they use their command trucks to build units, research upgrades and to secure strategic points.
*The Ostheer starts with two squads of Spähtrupp.
*Since the supply lines strech too thin due the long distances, the OstHeer doesnt recive extra resources for secured territory unless their vehicles are upgraded from whick they recive a larger resource bonus.This also that their units are unable of upgrading unless they are in the same sector that a command truck.
*When Ostheer infantery garrisons a building they can establish a forward base. When a forward base is established the sector becomes secured and Ostheer units buy upgrades, they do not produce any extra resources
*Deployment Issues : Ostheer units are elite and very trained soldiers who are hard to replace every time after you deploy a new unit you will have to wait 80 seconds until you can deploy a new unit on the same command truck. But ostheer units enjoy a faster deployment speed due the meticulous preparation for Unternehmen Barbarossa
*Resource Shortage: Osterheer units does not only reduce the income of manpower your recive ,Ostheer vehicles will also reduce the ammount of fuel you recive and when buying upgrades for your vehicles and infantery or building defensive structures you will also recive less ammunition from
your strategic points.A Swift Advance comes for a price...
*Veterancy: Ostheer is an elite veteran army can either choose to deploy battle-hardened veterans from previous operations or to field fresh troops who have recently arrived from the Reich. You can select the grade of veterancy of the new unit you wish to deploy the the higher the experience the higher the price you have to pay.
-Recruit level: No additional cost
-Veteran: 20% of additional cost +10 seconds of extra-cooldown
-Crack: 30% of additional cost + 30 seconds of extra-cooldown
-Elite: 40% of additional cost +50 extra-cooldown
HINT: Spahtrupp, Opel Blitz, Belagerung Engineers, Sturmpiooners and the Major cannot be deployed with additional veterancy.
Techtree
-Command Trucks Upgrades (Every command truck can be upgraded. Only one upgrade per command truck)
*Secured Resourcing: Now this command truck produce additional resources when securing a sector.
*Secured Supplies: This command truck reduce its cooldown by 20 seconds.
Hauptsitz/HQ LKW: Produces Spahtrupp (light recon squad) Allows your to call in additional Command Trucks. The HQ doenst have to wait to eploy a new unit after every deplyment...
*Spähtrupp: fast-moving light infantery. Consist of three men equipped with bolt action rifles a. They are equipped with binoculars for improved scouting
*Opel Blitz: fast moving, unarmed transport truck. Can transport up to twelve soldiers.
-Can be upgraded to an Ambulence to heal neraby infantery and to clear nearby casualties. When it has recovered four soldiers it deploys a Grenadier Squad (grenadiers like the ones of the Origiinal CoH). Can throw Grenades but cannot be upgraded with heavy weapons.
- Can be upgraded to a Supply Truck which enables your nearby units to upgrade and to reduce the ammount of ammo you need to employ their special abilities. It also produces Goliaths.
-Command Trucks
*IMPORTANT: Before deploying a new Command truck you choose between two options, each version of the command truck is focused in one type of troop choices, for example: a Sturm Kampfhandlungen LKW gives you access to heavy and powerful troops, but they are rather expensive and slow to build while a Taktik Kampfhandlungen LKW allows to build up more versatile and flexible units at a cheaper cost but lacking of the same firepower.
You can freely mix the command trucks combinations who better fits your combat style, so you can crush the Reds with all the might of the German War Machine and to show them the superioty of the Third Reich"s soldiers in a number of ways
There can be only one type of truck per tier
