Federation Land Battleship
Thanks for the mod at I've been having a blast.

The Federation land Battleship should be locked behind the war gated National focuses. With 18 width land Battleship only divisions I was able to outdo zaku divisions in both armor and armor piercing. Thanks to its early research and low division production, 1500ish cost cheaper than 20 width Armored Division, I was able to make 72 such divisions before zeon did its first Earth invasion into China. Then I was able to curb stomp the zeon invasion forces with land battleships like I did to the Federation with zakus.

Also not sure if you guys meant for the bonuses to stack, but if you include 4 land battleships Supply consumption usually goes to zero or negative.

Thanks for your feedback on Land Battleship.
I don't want to add rules that take away player freedom. So I think this issue would be better served by weakening the performance and cost of Land Battleship.

And as for the second supply bonus issue, that was not our intent. With that in mind, I think Land Battleship will be weakened in the future.

Sigh, I was hoping to avoid a general nerf, though its probably for the best. But my inner Bolos tank fan is disappointed that the solution to giant mechs is no longer even bigger tanks.

Regardless you should probably make project RX easier to access. I only got the zeon revealed mobile suit 1 year after the war had started when I was cleaning up the 3rd zeon drop site in the USA. The fact that a required tech for project RX: transfer of command is in the mobile warfare tech tree, and not the superior firepower tree which starts with 3 free techs for the feds also threw me for a loop. I didn’t discover that until my mop up in the USA. I had thought that the land doctrines were mostly ok with proper bonuses to mobile suits, but such an important tech locked in mobile warfare kind of railroads the player.

@skycomtype2 Oh, you're certainly right, Land Battleship should be powerful. You've helped me realize that nerfing isn't the answer. Thx!

Regarding project RX, the conditions under which revealed mobilesuit happens depend on Zeon's actions. If you act close to historical events, this event will occur in 77 or 78.

The doctrine issue is important. The Federation had adopted a prehistoric doctrine, and in my opinion they would have to pay a price to run project RX without the occurrence of a revealed mobilesuit.

But I'm not convinced about the terms of getting project RX, either. I would like to change it to something better.
