Suggestion for Specializations that give Vet on Purchase

Post by prestidigitation »

Currently the specializations that give vet on purchase are... bad. Like, really bad. Unless you need them to get something else there's really no reason to buy them.

I'd like to suggest that they be changed such that they set the _minimum_ veterancy of your units of whichever type to 1 star. So all of your vet 0 infantry would immediately get 1 star of vet and would never be able to go below one star of vet even if they get whacked and need to be reformed. This would make the vet specializations somewhat appealing relative to the +CP or bonus ability specializations.

If you lose a unit and reform it, it will always have at least one star just like a new unit. It doesn't affect already purchased units though.

It’s really more about reinforcements but I actually didn’t know that about reforming with those specs. It kinda gives an incentive to lose and reform any zero vet units 🤔

Agree, the only good thing of these specifications is that it leads to another extremely good one.
I would like to see a rework, like increase exp gaining, about 10-13%. Be worse at early stage but much more useful later. Something like decrease repair cost at the deployment phase or increase movement on/off road should be very useful too.
