EIR:R Secrets Revealed - 6: Battle Advantages and Other Advantages
In Europe in Ruins we are all used to a style of play that mimics VCoH units and abilities. The abilities in EiR have been given static uses that for the last two years have pummeled our opponents with easily recognizable results. 2 artillery barrages from an infantry player and you know he is out, unless the first shell landed a second after smoke, at which point you know they would have 5. A very easy ability to spot the difference of and be prepared for its amount of uses.
This is about to change.
Off-map abilities are going to get a bit of a revamp in EIR:R. Unlike in EIR currently, you will not have a set number of uses for an off-map ability. Instead, you will receive one free off-map use with most doctrine unlocks and the option to purchase additional uses with PP on a per battle basis. Obviously, this will have a maximum to keep griefers from stockpiling PP to unleash an enormous off-map barrage.
This battle advantage system will also take effect on global abilities like Inspired assault, and field repair to say a few, furthering the depth of our Prestige system.
Besides Battle Advantages, in EIR:R we are also going to have another screen for Other Advantages. These are passive or out-of-battle Advantages and take the place of and expand on the old RB system. Advantages are abilities that apply to each army that can be purchased by PP. Resource bonuses are not cumulative and do not stack. You need to have the previous skill (1) to get the later skill (2) and even later (3).
There are some specific units, and upgrades which will fall into the global unlocks which this system presents, mostly health regeneration buildings and specific repair boosting units or upgrades.
