I have two recommendations I would like to discuss regarding the great new capture equipment mechanic.
1) Set a base value higher than 0% for capturing equipment. Currently, I for a long time did not capture anything throughout my wars (not even with the capture equipment trait on one of my generals). Apparently you need to attach a maintenance company in order to capture anything. I do not feel this is very realistic as capturing simple equipment, such as infantry small arms and cannon/artillery should hardly require any advanced company to do so. I'm ok with increasing the efficiency greatly via maintenance companies, but at least allow some capture of equipment without them.
2) Enemies being overrun or wiped (encirclement) should greatly increase the amount of their equipment captured. Effectively, what equipment remains of these units is surrendered to the victor. So maybe their remaining equipment should be captured (even without maintenance companies) with a 25-50% efficiency?
What do you all thing of the current implementation and should it be enhanced with these or other suggestions?
