Resource/supply depots not only in capital

[panzergenerals]

Let's begin with an example:

Supposed all of London is surrended by Germany. This means that London is ofcourse still in supply ( it's the capital so also the resource/supply city) but the rest of the UK and the overseas areas are not. For this example UK don't have allies!!!!

If u simple hold the line around London u will simply beat UK, because all troops outside of the UK will starve to dead.

This doesn't sound fair. I think it would be maybe better when HOI use more places as depots. If a country have 5 tech slot they should also have 5 depots.

For UK that would be London, Glascow, Bombay, Cairo, Delhi for example.

If then for example London is surrended it should move it's depot/capital to Liverpool. To retain the 5 depots. Same for the other depots. The only way to make depots less for the UK is to take enough IC from them so they get one less (just like the tech slots).

This also will make the game harder and maybe more realistic. Good idea for HOI 3?

how about areas cutoff from the capitol automatically produce supplies (if they are overseas, they arent cutoff as long as there is a home port and overseas port. military access and neutrality dont count.

Actually something like that sounds like a good idea.

You should look at the Enhancement Suggestions Forums

how about that supplies are produced in place where there are ICs instead of capital?, or you can "assign" an area of factories to have supplies stocked in a certain province, say, for UK Egyptian factories they produce supplies and store in Alexandria.

this could simulate overseas IC better, too, say you can now try to starve British by preventing oversea supplies to ship in.
