Add a fourth doctrine/stratagey????

its just an idea i had, and i dont expect it to get in the game, but if you could have another doctrine, what will it be for each faction and what are the abilitys?

Clearly not going to happen so I have no reason to elaborate upon what abilities could/could not be in a non-existent doctrine.

but if you could :D, dont you ever dream^^

If I could something destructive but expensive. SU employed Scorcehd Earth and heavy artillery and I would modify it a bit so its not too similar to PE SE. Or something to do with mass production, economics, and logistics. Like a production blitz or Industrial push ;). Or even 5 yr economic plan Stalin employed XD

Let me point out a few facts which argue against that idea:

- How would you balance it? If one faction had 4 trees and the other ones only three each, it would be beyond unfair because of the increased variety of possible doctrine choices. You would have too do it for every faction.

- If you did it to every faction, it would harm EFs rule not to modify vanilla factions.

- There would have to be heavy changes to the UI. The tech tree of every faction is based on only a single graphic, so you would have to change it completely, no 4th tech tree, not even for a single faction.

So: No.

People keep in mind, the OP said he doesn't expect this in the game. AND he notably says "don't you ever dream?". This belong in Off Topic probably :P. But it's not like pressing for it :P

@MaxiKing6: Im glad you brought up the fact that you need another doc for the other factions. I'd love to see more doctrines(although I don't expect it at all :P)

oh mate, don't be such realist :) it's all about having fun when thinking about it.


Somebody please move it to Off Topic, where we can troll in :D

I've always wanted an SOE faction for the British.

Parachuting in a Spy, who is useless in combat but can do things like force retreat enemies, slow production in individual buildings and redirect the flow of resources, giving soldiers false orders etc.

Infiltrating a squad of Resistance would be their other unit, who can reinforce anywhere almost like Paras.

Then you could have cool abilities like deploying a decoy HQ and adding red dots to the enemy's radar so they keep chasing up non-existant squads behind their lines.

Engine-wise not really possible. It's kinda possible, but it quickly becomes ugly.

it wouldnt work because of some engine limitations.
you also cant make only 2 docs for a faction as the game just crashes when clicking the button.

May I remind you people: This proposal isn't real! Its just theoretical :P

For US 4 doc I want Naval company. Like battery gun barrage. Or marines call in ;D.  Or even Aircraft carrier support :P

Maybe PE could get a doctrine that has to do with elite infantry. Maybe Jager doctrine. IDK how to say infantry in German :-[

Wher could get a technologiacal advancement doctrine. Things like V2, curved MP44, and the special German X planes could finally come to life. Or even the Maus ;D

V2? Wanna blow up the entire map?

A mini V2 ^^. So I can blow up half of it ;D

nah, for Wehrmacht I'd add some kind of technological superiority doctrine. But no Maus' or V2. Just stuff like Infra-red, ME262 attack, more MP44s for squads, more advanced tank sights ( better accuracy). Maybe leFH18 too. With rocket shells. Just for fun.

US: this would be hard, cos existing doctrines pretty well fill all ascpects of land combat: we have tanks, infantry, elite infantry and air support. And arty. So 4th US doctrine should be about naval support - but that's stupid when comes to fighting inland. I'd suggest Ranger Company. Elite infantry ( different to this from Infantry Company), posibility to drop them in gliders, camoed infiltration units with explosives. Also add support of passive abilities, like radio recon ( reveals enemy units on minimap for few seconds). And the great ending: 155mm Long Tom barrage.

Brits: I always thought that brits should have RAF support doctrine. With Typhoons, even some medium bombers.

PE: Schwere Panzerabteilungen - Heavy tanks support. Tigers, Panthers, PzIV, REAL TANKS, not this paper-armoured scout cars.

SU: I have no idea.

Im just sorta curious :P. I figured I shouldn't start a new thread for this. Does relic have a plans in the future to make another expansion? Or was TOV sorta like their last ditch effort to make a game :'(?
