Quick Questions

[Vill4geidi0t]

I was hoping that I could get some clarification on a few questions regarding the game.

I just recently learned that infrastructure reduces build time so obviously build civs at the start of the game in the highest infrastructure provinces (generally speaking) and mils in provinces with a low number of potential slots and infrastructure. What is the magic number, disregarding supply and resources, that I should stop building infrastructure in order to accelerate build time. Is 5 or 6 the magic number?

Secondly, I also want to see more information on battles. I see the army overview in the top right but that seems to pull equipment. Where can I see more information?

Infrastructure also speeds up MIL-bulding. So you should build MILs also in high Infrastructure Slots.

If it's ONLY about the build speed modifier you shouldn't build any infrastructure before.
See this thread for details:

Is it worthwhile to build up Infrastructure for the build speed modifier?

(This is from another thread, but I think it should have it's own.) Short answer: No. Long answer: The building speed for construction of industry like CIVs, MILs, Docks or Refineries (not Infrastructure itself) is calculated as: Building...

What information exactly would you like to see?

If you're looking for the magic answer, I don't have it, but I'd like to recommend you read this thread: Is it worthwhile to build up Infrastructure for the build speed modifier?

Secondly, have you seen the Combat Log? Click the icon in the Theater window as indicated by the red arrow in the screenshot below (the button looks like a spiral-bound notebook)

Thank you for the thread on infrastructure. So unless I need to build up supply and resources, there's no point in investing it aside from the USA. I'll make a note to build in high infrastructure provinces first from now on.

Also I can't believe I missed the combat log. Thanks for the screenshot - now I can't miss it.

Also I can't believe I missed the combat log.

I can believe it, as the button kinda fades into the background and there is no tooltip if you mouse over it. You're not the first and won't be the last
