    • Recycle Shop

      There is a separate thread posted recently for a repair ship. I think there should be a new industry for scrap metal.

      Recycle Shop - call it

      You can build a recycle shop in any province where military units were lost friendly or enemy. (Also in cities for the same reason)

      This new structure will require the game to start keeping statistics on every province. How many units and what type of units were lost there.
      Or to make it a little simpler, every unit that dies has a scrap value attached to it. That value is deposited in that province.

      Or instead of a Recycle Shop add a level 6 on Arms industry in cities which experienced military unit losses and a level 4 for local Industry in provinces that experienced military unit losses.
    • If you are losing that many units in 1 prov you have bigger issues than a recycle shop. In real battle the victor would commander and/or destroy any enemy asset that could be used against them.

    • yeah in the 1800s. Sure US was interested in the high tech of Iraq. they just blew the shit up or even if loose a chopper down or something they would send a missile into own downed unit instead of let fall into enemy hands if crew couldnt demo.

      And the spoils of war are taking over their resources in conquered territory to better fuel your empire

    • Building high level arms industries and local industries in provinces experiencing so many losses surely would not be a wise move unless there were already scraps there from past combat, as they would likely be destroyed during combat or enemy conquering. Also, if it is just a new Recycle Shop, well... there is no other purpose, it would probably be built pretty much never if the resource return were low enough. And if the resource return were too high, people would start to obsessively farm AI for resources
