Auxiliary General

[Black_Hole]

Dear Developers.

I enjoy your game greatly so far, except some minor wishes for change I have. The auxiliary General as a choosable perk is one of my wishes for changing it. I would hardly ever spend valuable prestige to buy units which won´t stay with me after a particular mission. Therefore I never will choose this perks, which is kinda sad.

But I have a suggestion to this: change this perk in that way that one don´t get permanent high auxiliary unit slots but rather give the player a permanent slightly higher core slot each mission. That would be a great choice for a general ability.

Thanks for listening and your good work!

I see it as a guaranteed emergency button where you may realize you’re suddenly out of slots but need a certain unit for a certain map. As prestige doesn’t seem to be hugely limiting this perk lets you do that as well as run decoy meat shields (early tanks, bridging units, and storches are my favorite. You can also do things like split auxiliary fighters to give your precious high experience fighters more of a mass attack bonus. Note this works well for fighters because they’re prestige cheap yet slot expensive

Then it would not be auxiliaries.

Correctly used they soak causaulties and enable mass tactics otherwise impossible.

For 1 point.

Also, below FM difficult you have more prestige than you need.

I have not so much prestige after all (constantly about 3-5,000 for I´m using mostly units, growing ever more in experience. But I do see your points that I´ve missed so far. Ok, under that point of view it´s not bad anymore. Thanks for your advices.

I picked that trait and buy 2 recon plane units each mission, here and there an extra bridging pioneer or some infantry with cheap pak/arty. Its not that much prestige if you play on moderate difficulty. You could combine it with liberator if you want to play on the higher difficulties.

I like that trait a lot but you have to be aware that in some missions there are already a lot of auxiliary units that take up the slots. Unless you suicide some you cant use your own aux. units in those cases.

The last part is what I called buggy in the beta, but was not heard.

So potentially it's a very powerful trait, but I'm not touching it since there are too many scenarios it can't be used.
