How do you?
On land, i'd generally build-up a good enough territory around me so that i would see enemies coming loooong before they'd reach my homeland, so i'd keep something (mostly air defense, missile defense later on) in my capital, and a few units here and there depending on the city, but the large majority of my units would be out there doing damage.
I have been playing now a few games as Indonesia, and... with 7 homeland cities where anyone could arrive with no notice, i wonder what the best strategy is.
I have been:
1. sending ships home, and generally spreading them, when i go to sleep;
2. using AWACS (later game) to keep an eye out
3. keeping 2-3 units / city, just to protect from the odd defeated enemy that wants to do a last run
4. at times, keep naval units / subs patrolling, in the chance they catch the odd transport taking too long to disembark (even though we know there's a way to make them 'unship' faster)
5. when i have nothing else to research, using naval patrol planes close to the cities on water
Am i on the right track? better ways?
thanks much!
