Oleg Maddox's Room #1

A Question For Oleg.



1) This is sort of an odd, specific question regarding ground objects...but, will power lines, and telephone poles/lines be modeled?

And...

2) Will the urban infrastructure be modeled into campaign mode?? To be specific...will power/electricity and water lines/pipes be modeled into the campaign dynamics/damage modeling... EXAMPLE: if you take out a dam or the city's "water mains" the fire dept can not put out burning fires (from bombing), thus effecting moral and production.

Thanks Oleg...

Modelling morale? You can't be serious? And tying that to productivity is fairly tenuous as well, as the strategies of both Goering, re London and elsewhere, and Harris, re Germany, proved. The only true way to deter productivity is to obliterate the factories, not the workers' morale.

If you destroy the fresh water pipes sanitation will become worse, more workers get ill and productivity will decrease. Or better, if you drop any kind of poison in their lake and leave the dam intact all workers and firefighters will be out of action for a while and productivity will be decreased even more.

Seriously where do you want to draw a line? It's a flight sim , not the ultimate WWII strategy game. Why not implement the feature to write propaganda leaflets and drop them above enemy cities. If you are convincing enough peole may overthrow their government and change sides.

Thanks Feuerfalke for posting these pics - they were first posted in 2005 - just shows you how time has slipped away during the development of BOB-SOW - it will still be very worth the wait when finally released.
