Building Infrastructure

[unmerged(105741)]

I'm playing USSR, I noticed that much of it's territory has an infrastructure level of 60%.

What effect does this have on my tc? Is it worth spending ic and the time to increase the inf. str.? If I do this should I increase it in provinces that create a straight line to the area I will be fighting in from Moscow?

Last question: How much infr. str. percentage is increased for each time I spend ic building it.

Each infrastructure you build will raise the level of the province by 10% and costs 1 IC for 1 year, but don't bother. Infrastrure has no effect on your TC, resource production, etc. It does increase the ESE of a division located in that province, and helps them move faster, but the IC is far, FAR better spent on additional units for the simple reason that your front line will never be stable long enough for the extra infrastructure to be worth anything.

Too true, with one minor exception. Beaches and bottleneck provinces that you intend to defend for awhile sometimes are worth infrastructure improvement in you expect regular battle and want to maximize the defenders odds. Even then though it is usually not worth it.

I agree, mostly I think its a waste of iC and time, I have built at specific points, Oviedo springs to mind when i play germany and take it. as the brits have been known to try their luck there. also i put a naval base there,
actually does the the higher infra make a difference with the base?
