First Strike

[samuelch]

We can apply this mechanic from AoF to this game. Rifleman get first strike while smg (but stronger) don't. Some tanks with long range get first strike. Mg might get first strike. If AT cannon will get 1 range they can get first strike against tanks.

Sounds good,and realistic

[Stratego (dev)]

and which first strike mechanic you refer to? (how would it work)

[samuelch]

The one from Knighthood idea. Where the attacker get counter attack first. The link http://www.ageofstrategy.net/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=4023
Also another idea (long range)
Units with this properties won't receive counter attack when attacking. Units with this properties= Rifleman, at cannon, bazooka and panzerschreck, long range tanks.

[samuelch]

Forget the long range. Just the firs strike.

[samuelch]

First strike allows the defender with first strike to counterattack first before getting damage from the attacker. (So the attacker might die first and deal no damage.) Is this good Daniel?

[Stratego (dev)]

yes!

Give it to at guns definitely,it combinated with infantry stats increase,should increase usage of infantry-it will be harder to kill at guns with tanks.
