Good morning Guys.
I've just started playing this game and I must say I have way too many questions.
I've been trying to use every unit in the game, in order to learn and find out what are the meta ones and what are the useless ones, but I find my lack of game mechanics disturbing. So I decided to come ask you guys for some guidance.
First of all, regarding defense, it seems obvious to me that this game does not reward military camps at the borders, using them as they were fortresses, as resources are kinda scarce and troops are not so abundant as needed to maintain a large front, at least at the start of the game.
So, I figured it would be best to use one Military Camp, namely my HQ for that front, that I will use for units rotation, healing, and for support (Air mostly). But I feel that strategy might be lacking some knowledge, as enemy armies will just run around in a really "peculiar" way, so my HQ is not giving me that much of an advantage, as it is not holding the position, even tough I am killing their entire army and winning the war because, well, running around a fortified area in a Blitzkrieg Beast Mode just isn't a real tactic I believe. Be advised that I'm still playing in a really low level game, so I figure such weird run around would not happen in a higher level game. I feel this is working for pure missplay by my opponents, instead of the strategy really kicking it off.
My biggest issue with this game for now is the lack of information, as you cannot see enemy armies unless they are within your own borders. That's the main thing I'm trying to learn in this thread.
Yesterday I produced my first Mobile Radar, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed. It does provide some information, but only for big units, so it does not detect incoming "Rambo" attacks. It has some utility I admit, but it's not exactly what I expected. Now I'm experimenting with drones, trying to figure out the best way to detect incoming threats. The next step is to try those "radar planes", that I highly questions its utility, even before trying it.
As for that, how do you guys usually deal with your defense early on and specially with information gathering?
Thanks for reading all that folks, I have more questions than I can count so.... baby steps hahaha
