[b]WAR FORMS[/b] [b][u]AGE OF IMPERIALISM 2.0 NAVAL WARFARE[/u][/b] In warfare, everything happens in [b]Days[/b] with [b]Timetables[/b]. Here are the actions your fleets can perform: -- [b]Decisive Battle[/b]: Take a selected fleet and give it an order to search a targeted area, as a single group. -- [b]Search & Destroy[/b]: Utilize a given fleet to perform a search for dispersed enemy targets, engage them in battle and destroy them. -- [b]Convoy Escort[/b]: Protect convoy routes in the enemy from enemy ships and submarines. -- [b]Convoy Raiding[/b]: Attack enemy convoy routes. Here are the Action Timetables & Modifiers: [b]Timetables[/b]: -- [color=39b54a][b]Operation[/b][/color]: ([i]Allows you to use one of the four actions above[/i]): (3 Days Preparation + X Days) [X determined based on the size of the fleet. For a submarine its 0.1 days. For a destroyer it's 0.2 days. For a light cruiser it's 1 days. For a heavy cruiser it's 2 days. For a battleship it's 2 days. [b]Round up[/b]). [b]THINGS TO KNOWN[/b]: -- [b]Effectiveness[/b]: When an operation begins it starts at 50% Effectiveness. Any Operation over [b]20 Days[/b] drops this effectiveness by .5% every day. -- [b]Modifiers[/b]: Certain modifiers increase/decrease effectiveness. Example: [b]Operation[/b]: [i]Decisive Battle[/i] -- Fleet composition is 1 BB, 4 CA, 5 CL, 9 DD's. That would be 14.5 days, or 15 days to prepare that operation. [hr] [b]Timetables[/b]: -- [color=39b54a][b]Operation[/b][/color]: ([i]Allows you to use one of the three actions above[/i]): (2 Days Preparation Per 10,000 Men with Equipment/1 Day Preparation for 10,000 men [i]without[/i] Equipment + X Days) [X determined based on the composition of the army] [b]X Modifier[/b]: -- For every 1 Tank its 0.10 days. -- For every 1 Artillery it's 0.01 days. -- For every Light Aircraft it's 0.05 Days -- For every Heavy Aircraft it's 0.10 Days ([b]Round up[/b]). So for an army with 60,000 men (60,000 Equipment) and 60 Artillery Pieces and 20 Fighters, preparing an operation would take: 13.6 days, or 14 days. [b]THINGS TO KNOWN[/b]: -- [b]Morale[/b]: When an operation begins it starts at 50% Morale. Any Operation that lasts over [b]20 Days[/b] drops this effectiveness by .5% every day. -- [b]Modifiers[/b]: Certain modifiers increase/decrease effectiveness. Example: [b]Operation[/b]: [i]Offensive[/i] -- So for an army with 60,000 men (60,000 Equipment) and 60 Artillery Pieces, preparing an operation would take: 12.6 days, or 13 days.
