PP upkeep cost question

Post by Christolos »

Hi,

I'm playing my first game as the CP against the AI (now on turn 17) and noticed that while my PP upkeep cost for Germany is minus 36, I have a zero PP upkeep cost for Austria-Hungary despite having 8 infantry units and 7 garrison units in play (not to mention 2 artillery units, one air unit and one airship...).

I can more or less understand why my German army PP upkeep is as high as it is (I produced a lot of units...) but I'm not sure why I'm not being charged anything for my Austria-Hungarian forces.

Can someone explain this?

I understand from the manual that all nations get 10 free PP upkeep costs (unless this has changed with the latest patch...) but I would assume that I should still have some upkeep costs for my Austria-Hungarian forces.

Thanks

Ok, I looked around a little more on the forum and discovered that there is a free upkeep of 70 in the game...

With the next patch 1.6 the free upkeep allowance is set to zero! What this means is Entente & Central Powers pays upkeep for every unit they have on the map.

Yes, this together with increasing the amount of PPs earned to help cover upkeep, makes more sense.

I can't wait for the 1.6 patch!
