Should unit pops be 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10  and not  3, 5 , 7, 9 ?

I know this would require to nerf/buff some units , but having  3 , 5 , 7, 9 is bad for company building because sometimes you cannot max out your pop and are left out with 23/25 at start for example with 2 pop free.

No, I don't think a drastic rework of pop should take place just because you can't always use every little bit of it. That's a big balance change made for no reason other than a minor grievance.

Er??? lol there is pop 4,5,6,(7 i dont know) but 8 also

i know that it's not top priority right now , but for the future when most things will be done balancing this out wouldn't hurt , also the max pop at start then should be 24 or 26 so everything balances out nicely.

If you've got two pop free, throw in an Officer, Pioneer, Schwimmwagon, Lt, Captain, CCT, etc etc.

Managing pop is an important part of company design, just like managing resources or pool. It's important to be able to maximize your firepower, while also using units that work well in tandem. While some units still need pop changes for balance reasons, making it easier to create certain callins should not be a concern.

Carrot also recently learned after playing EIR for some years that callins below 8 incur extra penalty in increased call in time

[smurfORnot]

rly? so smaller callin,longer call time?

[Unkn0wn]

Yes

I don't think he is the only one. I have been here for years and this is the first I have heard of it......

[Smokaz]

thats shocking

have fun not being artifically much worse off than all other players from now on

i guess there's not much info directly pertaining to it other than the newbie guides

[EliteGren]

Always been like that, in old EiR callins below 8 Pop weren't even allowed in the first place. Now we just have it give a timer increase for more freedom

You see!!!!! All this time you guys thought I sucked. But the truth is I was being handicapped by larger call in timers. Ya that's it, it all makes sense now.......

[nugnugx]

Always been like that,

i know it has been like this,  all paks also had moving cloak untill it was balanced


i'm suggesting it could be looked at.

[Killer344]

It doesn't need to be looked at, there's nothing broken.

[Smokaz]

Just make good callins?

I once almost tried a game of OMG, I noticed that they used that minimum of 8, pretty gay tbh.

[smurfORnot]

hmm,does it also have something to do when you call it? because in later game,I see that it almost needs a minute for troops to arrive...

[lionel23]

Oh I didn't know callins under 8 pop incurred a penalty, that would explain why my new ranger company has super high timers now.... so if it's over 8, is there no time penalty then?

Are you fucking serious? When/where were we ever told of this?

I have so many call-ins I need to adjust now...

[Jodomar]

Thank god that most of my call in our 8 pop and above. This would explain the at gun call out delay though.
