[DLL] (7-NS) Military units consume gold on healing

[CppMaster]

How much would you think would be a good balance then ? 33% of base cost, 25%, 0% ?

Maybe 25% just like in StarCraft

There are too many changes in gold management just by starting a war. It's just exhausting and not fun at all. If to solve the problem, gold acquisition is increased, players have too much gold when peace.

I think it's a very cool idea because it would make economic warfare with passing sanctions, plundering trade routes, etc a lot more exciting.

But I would not make it cost much. It would not be fun to have to stockpile gold 24/7 in case a strong civ declares war on you. Maybe something like 20% of production cost to heal from 1HP.

Amended to reduce gold cost to heal to 25% of base unit cost

I like this though I am wary it may prove to be very significant obstacle in some scenarios, another negative feedback cycle to keep you down when things dip too low. Can always revert though, I'd like to try it out

I'm contemplating a counterproposal that heals in friendly territory are excluded. That'd solve the issue that you're being attacked and just defending your lands. Or would that be too convoluted?!

 

[Anarcomu]

You can make a counter proposal where the cost of healing is, for example, always 2% of unit's cost, meaning a full heal in neutral territory costs 20% of unit's base cost. Then, medics, friendly land and really any healing bonus becomes more effcient for gold => hp.

The problem here is that you can't opt out of healing your unit. As soon as your unit does nothing for the turn and is damaged, it heals and spends your gold, whether you want it to or not.

 

[CppMaster]

Good point. It's prefererable of units heal only when command too. Luckily, we already have a command for that.

This conflict with the March promotion... I think the rework proposition I made here would be better in that regard, but probably modmod territory.
