Supplies

Post by zasgard »

I didn't see anything under the cheat code topic so I'm going to assume this isn't possible, but.....can you increase the supply in an area so you can just spawn as much stuff as you need?

Thanks

Without editing the map and assigning supply to a hex I doubt it but remember you do have some measly weak units that do not need supply that can actually be very effective - Mostly recon stuff and then of course para units get supply for 3 turns .... there is some infantry that is super weak that requires no supply but very few nations get these guys ...

No. So you have to be careful when designing/testing scenarios that you increase supply as you increase units so you don't have to go back and fix again when everything comes up yellow or orange.

That would be nice but I doesn't happen that way now. I would love it on the editor.

Um, I took it to mean a cheat to pump supplies into an on-going scenario.

Maybe I was wrong.

zasgard, do you mean pump more supplies into your side in an underway scenario (in-play)?

Or do you mean during the design period of developing a scenario?

there is no shortcut or cheat that will pump supply points into an on-going scenario because a cheat has to be one phrase. You can't tell it where to increase supplies. At least in my understanding of it.

thanks for chiming in, Bru. Maybe we'll get clarification from zasgard re:intent of his question.

When I mentioned this "Without editing the map and assigning supply to a hex I doubt " that is exactly what I meant you can do it if you edit the map as shown in other posts in here ... but there is to the best of my knowledge NO CHEAT code in answer to what I thought was your question. so what this means if you are playing someone else created scenario which you are doing whether its a custom made scenario by someone with the editor or one you bought .. as DLC for example there is no way to do this .. unless you edit the scenario yourself which is what I said or implied so as your playing along there is no way you can do this no cheat code. Which frankly is what is great about OOB is that supplies are a factor in OOB. But again you can use some supply immune units thats it ... Other pointless things to mention... >>>>> If you get into a supply bind while your playing you can do some things which are temporary and costly fixes you can load para units onto a plane this increases supply to hexes that are in supply if you are fighting on a coastal hexes you can load units onto naval transport if in fact you can ... you can delete units this is usually dumb but it would increases supply and or send them on a suicide mission you can I think upgrade a unit to where it has no transport I think this will help to; however, none of this answers your question they are just other supply type info

To my knowledge there's no such cheat code available. Although it should be no problem whatsoever to add/implement one. Actually, it could be quite useful.
