Description

Tired of watching lines get strung out with seemingly no real supply consequences? Tired of having vast amounts of convoys that aren't needed to keep your army on the other side of the world supplied? Well tire no longer! I've modified supply systems to make things generally more difficult. No more "finger offensives" where one unit breaks through and just keeps going, no more perfect supply in the middle of winter.

Generally speaking, I've lowered the amount of supply available from victory points, as well as modified the distance one can go from supply bases before running into troublem so plan offensives accordingly. Additionally, damaged infrastructure has a higher penalty, so watch that your supply lines don't get destroyed behind you!

what would be interesting is to incorporate HP damage for units below 15% supply. That way your units would slowly hunger or freeze to death when heavily unsupplied (which is what happened in both russia and also Hurtgen forest).

Probably, I haven't touched this for NSB, so this was designed entirely with pre-NSB supply in mind. Once Blackice updated and I start playing not TNO HOi4 again, I will be looking at updating.

I can say after playing quite a bit that I do feel like having to build new railroads and (especially) supply hubs is rare. There are certain small "blind spots" in the already existing supply hub network of the world, but with how expensive supply hubs are it is almost never worth building one, and you can usually get around it. Maybe making supply a bit more 'meaningful' might lie in the direction of reducing the range (and perhaps output) of supply hubs, but also making them cheaper to build?

So obviously, supply has changed a little bit recently. I need to play with the new system and see what I like, what I don't like, etc. before I update. If you have any suggestions for me to look at, please let me know!
