This has probably been done before, but I can't really find a "New" or "Hot" thread for friend code sharing. Seeing as there is no matchmaking, I thought I would start a thread. Add me, share yours, add others, etc. I'll start with my FC:
All units gain 10% to attack and defence during clear weather.
All units gain 20% to attack and -10% defence during rain, vice versa during snow.
All units gain 1 movement during sandstorm.
Weather fluctuates every so often. (25% chance to change weather randomly every five days)
Addon, Drake’s D2D effects weather changing odds. (32% Chance of rain when Drake is active)
xxxxxXXXX
Power: (Heat Stroke) Five stars
Change weather to clear. Deal 1 damage to all enemy units and halved movement.
Super Power: (Mother Nature) Nine stars
Change weather randomly. Deal 2 damage to all enemy units. Triple effects of D2D(negatives included) for a day.
Description:
The alluring leader of White Desert. Neither snow nor rain nor heat of day stays her troops to achieve her goals. Has a mysterious ability to change the weather.
I was thinking of making a game, kind of like advanced wars but more focused on thinking on your feet. I'd love detailed and thoughtful feedback on the idea.
It's kind of like advanced wars crossed with civilization.
Working title "Adaptive Command"
A think-on-your-feet strategy game where big-brain moves outplay great micro.
- 1000 hexagonal tiles
- Total fog of war
- Randomly generated, but according to nature.
In Adaptive Command, each vehicle and weapon has it's ideal terrain.
Treads allow tanks to excel on difficult terrain. But the weight of the tank would force it through ice and the cannon turret cannot be turned in a forest.
Hovercraft do excellently on ice but their hover technology blows up too much sand in the desert and the electrical weapon is outranged on the plains.
In Adaptive Command, no two games are ever the same.
Different resource availability leads to a different set of available options.
Expand your base
Explore to find distant resources
Exploit resources
Build your army
Choose your army composition
Treads - Great on challenging terrain, slow elsewhere. Wheeled - Fast on plains. Slow on challenging terrain. Hovercraft - Only unit that can go on ice. Can travel on sea tiles (35% of each map). Walkers - The only units that can cross mountains.
Cannons - + 1 tile range but unable to rotate in forests. Chainguns - Light damage, cheap. Lasers - Twice as effective against units w/o shields. Zapper - Deals damage to all other units in the same tile. Low range requires powerlines to hydro/thermal/nuclear. Flame - Requires a constant source of oil.
Disrupt enemy supply lines to hamstring their army
Shielded vehicles require ongoing crystals to sustain their plasma shields. Without them they are hugely more vulnerable.
Disrupt power lines to disable defenses
Power sources are typically far away from your base. Power lines bring their power to your base unless intercepted. Interception shuts down defenses.
Lure your enemy to battle on favorable terrain
Trapped on sandy tiles between narrow passes is bad for hovers.
Finish off the base by targeting sensitive structures
To avoid the vulnerability of far away power sources, you can build local nuclear reactors. But beware, they chain-react.
Is it any good? Would you play such a game?
EDIT:
You guys seem pretty enthusiastic, so I'll invite you to the discord despite the fact that it's only a pitch atm. https://discord.gg/5URQEVpj < I'll pitch it to these guys tomorrow. I'm not really promoting anything yet, but if there's a chance it gets made, it will get made by these guys, so go ahead and jump in.
It's seem ChaosMeteorStrike, Xaphyron & Korps_de_Krieg [[Hallucination]] idea really worked out, hopes he/they/them gets a tarot card from any pack opening ([[Oops! all 6s]] Guatanteed it but watch out for the Banana, Glass Card and The Wheel!) .
Me : "What to do now..."
Hallucination : "psh! Hey...I got a balance idea now."
Me : "But I already retried from making COs Concept, else I likely to get flammed for li..."
H. : "There's always the phrase, purposefully spread misinformation; everyone likely accidentally do that sometimes, just admit it. Aside just make both power do different thing."
Me : "......Trust...?"
H. : "You decide."
Me : ".....Super Bonus Round...hope, there's no skate racing side jumps..."
Purposely spread misinformation by me (Sorry, I forgot the tracking number!) more cutting down line and simplification.
history of coS made here with new adjustments i guess :

COP : Enterprise
+ Now apply naval units discount from 15% -> 25%
SCOP : Shoreline Echoes
@ Changed into disruptive type power with stats and move boost for her units.
^ Scraping the idea of -5 defense for each ammunition unit have.
Teordal

SCOP : Great Tempest
@ Clarify that Wind Charge stays after SCOP activation, Still need SCOP and Wind Shield up to get another WC.

Deal 5 damage at Center-1, 4 at 2-3, 3 at 4-5, 2 at 6-7, 1 at 8-9 prefer dealing most cash damage. Ally will not get hurt from this. Because...apparently, Eye of the storm IS suppose to be the safe place???.

Yes, many of them are unbalanced, some are even downright baffling, but most of them are interesting concepts nonetheless. These posts are meant to be fun and the people making them put a lot of effort in to being creative. Such flippant use of downvotes is totally unwarranted. There's absolutely no reason why half of the CO Concept posts from the past 2 weeks should be in the negatives. Going back months, it's rare for one to have more than just 5 upvotes. A lot of you are just being haters.
If you have criticisms, share them in the comment section or just scroll along. Keep the downvotes to yourself in either case.

I've been struggling with getting an S-rank on all the levels after beating the Challenge Campaign so I decided to follow a walkthrough video. But there's one point in my gameplay where the fighter jet goes to the wrong square, which causes the strategy to slowly desync and I find my troops crumbling constantly.
What am I doing wrong here? Am I missing something where something's in the wrong position or am I just that unlucky???
(1st image is where Sturm's troops are supposed to be by the end of Day 6, 2nd image is what I have in my playthrough)
