Paratroop Prices!

[mr_hormiga]

First of, this is a great mod! Very challenging and the AI acts very aggressivly and leaves little room for mistakes.
Great job N!ghty and everyone else involved.

One question though-
What is up the paratroopers being so expensive to build and maintain?!?!?! I mean I can produce and support several tank divisions for the price of 1 paratroop div.

I understand maybe making them take a bit longer and being SLIGHTLY more expensive then leg infantry.... but come on!

6months at 28IPs and then 9.6 supplies to maintain!?!?!?!?! Is this a bug or intentional????

I know there are some tricks people use with paratroops (bugs?) but personally I have rarely used them and usually they end up getting slaughtered behind enemy lines.

If this is intentional is there any way to make the prices normal again?

Oh Im playing the hardest HOI level at furious with stony road on "I like it HARD!" I think I might try GROFAZ next.....

Thanks in advance for any answers and thanks for the great mod (except for the paratroop thing!)

With the slant that Nighty put on SR, my understanding is that this is intentional. Paratroops are very useful so you have to pay and pay and pay...

ok then where are the codes for prices at? I dont mod at all so I have no idea.... I just want to make them normal again.

Also the fact that many people have problems conquering FRANCE indicates that having paratroops (at normal prices) seems a small concession to make. I my self have trouble getting past poland , I think I need to turn down the difficulty

Go to HOI folder then I think was the db folder and then units folder. There you can edit your paratroops file as you like.
