Arent weapon and soldier upgrades (stars) getting changed to max via squad upgrade tree as of merge?
As in you dont buy the stars anymore, you just level up the squad.
At least thats what i understood.
It is no more a pointless mechanic than any other upgrade system - whether it be for people or equipment.
As it is right now it is pretty simple, give clear benefit for a clear cost.
Your idea introduces complexity with no clear benefits that still has a cost - sorry for being a bit abrupt, but IMO it is your idea that is pointless.
I wouldn’t call it complex. Though I guess it is in comparison to monkey level press a button - > get shiny.
The “benefit” is that this system has some decision making and this makes it a bit more engaging. A change from no brain click a button to an actual decision.
Impossible. I simply think Df dont have the ability to make things like this. They cant even get the merger update done in time
