yes i know im thinking to buy the game, but i think the only part that is missing is the military stuff, selling and buying weapons, or tanks, create your army to protect your country etc...

It's been mentioned by devs as no-no and I'm honestly glad they decided to not implement this yet.

That's called feature creep, and it's normally a bad idea, better to focus on what you're trying to be a city builder, then tacking on a terrible combat system.

I don't think it would become an RTS, more like a diplomacy management where you need to maintain a military base to fulfill PACT obligations or build up a military industry to supply other PACT militaries. You would have to spend resources and workers on military stuff, but there would never be any combat (the cold war never went hot).

No and frankly it should stay that way. This is supposed to be a utopia not military industrial complex simulator. With the situation in Ukraine, Ethiopa and Syria I think it would be rather distasteful. Plus, as Neutron said, feature creep is what ruins games. If this is what is preventing you from buying the game then don't worry. You'll have plenty of things to do and probably kill your citizens in other ways lol.

it would make sense to have some sort of military might stat as eastern block was heavily militarized, and ability to export guns and vehicles to friendly countries to help them spread revolution like Vietnam, North Korea, MENA etc. would be nice addition for variety of industry

but there are more importent things now such as proper trams, metro, lack of western vehicles, and need for more building variations etc.

A utopia?
Like all the other Soviet Republics?

I made a suggestion regarding military (no RTS).

And why did you do that???
Things like this appear on a regular basis, where someone presents another manifesto pleading for guns/military and tries to validate it with ludicrous arguments.

I can't do anything with it either, but you won't be able to prevent people from starting it every now and then.
In my opinion, ignoring it is the best way. That way the threads don't get so long and ultimately the developers decide how to proceed.
And as an option or dlc, everyone can decide for themselves.

It seems like you are against any change of current gameplay, for me W&R lacks features and i am obviusly not the only one here.

Btw i made a fire suggestion, wich was about diffrent fire types (living, forest, industrial fires), was quickly rejeckted from you aswell ¯\_ツ_/¯

It seems like to me that the military aspect devides this community in two halves.
Few nice ideas were posted about that topic for all I can say.
Sooner or later we will see if anything like that will find its way into the game.

You don’t need devs to implement it,
All you need is a custom scenario scripting. And it has been announced already.
Community will create such scenarios, I’m sure.
E.g. a map with the goal: sell 500 tanks by the end of 1979.
