Modifying Strategic Regions

[sjg132]

The recent DD about modding used modding regions as an example of how you can mod. I think this is wonderful because in my view, the Strategic Regions are a little too big. I'm not saying that the map should move towards having one in every province, more like, for instance, 8-12 in France instead of just 2.

What would the ramifications be of creating way more Strategic Regions? Since it's a mod, I'm not looking for opinions on whether or not it should be done, more like commentary on its effects on gameplay.

Well for one you'd then need to be able to change how the airplane system works since as far as I know you can only assign planes to one region.

Then you'd have to take into account manpower and production from each region and how they add up to the old one. And also the resistance system.

Don't manpower and production work on the state and/or province level?

Also, how on Earth will strategic bombing work, say from England to Germany if you can only assign planes to one region?

I would also like a mod that changes so that air regions are smaller, maybe even the same size that states are. Shouldn't be too hard to mod.

I think OP meant Air regions, not states. And you can use planes on multiple air regions.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing maybe 4 in France and Germany if the air combat changed.

Strategic Regions are Air Regions

As small as states is too small. Planes can cover a large area but a lot of air regions in game are miss-shaped and oversized. Especially in places like China and North America.

In terms of air, I don't see why it would be a big deal. The only thing that gets impacted is you need to spread out your air resources more to attack or defend in the air.
