The Pentagon, 1941 - 1943 +IMG

Post by Puss_in_Boots »

On January 15, 1943, The Pentagon was completed. In Arlington Virginia, it housed nearly 30,000 defense workers. Used as headquarters for the U.S. Department of Defense. They were tasked to help the U.S. win WWII.

Will serve as the United States' mega building, which can complete the research of techs and construct weapons of war.

I don't know if only one should be built for the entire game, because seeing 2 Pentagon buildings is just weird. It may have to take more turns to construct than an AoS castle.

Believe it should be seen as the upgrade that goes on the last slot of the very first column.

I like this idea! Especially the build of one building is a good idea, How about 16 turns to build.

And ten thousand at your right hand;

American - "Pentagon": cost - 16 - build restriction 1
British - "War office building": cost - 16 - build restriction 1
German - " Ministry of the Reichswehr": cost - 16 - build restriction 1
Japaneses - "ministry of war"(Japaneses): cost - 8 - build restriction 2
Russian - "National Defense Management Center ": cost - 16 - build restriction 1

link for american - "Pussinboots" Did a good enough job! ;)

link for the British - https://www.google.com/search?q=War+Off ... T7w6ztzz3M:

link for the Japanese - https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366& ... QkrI4EHk9M:

link for the Russians - https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366& ... fmabzpfadM:

link for the Germans - https://www.google.com/search?q=ministr ... 2l3tW2OQeM:

The stats would be in the same vicinity, power, boost range, Health and production. These units would be able to produce special units, "Heros". See link Below for more details on this!

For Soviet mega building i recommend UralWagonFactory
Images of UWF
It was during war main research center for heavy weapons (artillery, tanks...) and they produced up to 70% of all soviet tanks.
Also it was a civilian building.
So i'm suggesting these:
1. Can reseach every infantry, artillery and tank techs.
2. Can produce all tank and artillery units.
3. Has 1 action/turn, ability to spawn every 2 turns money-courier-like unit near it to speed up research and ability to mend itself and near buildings (at engeneer rate).
4. Has no attacks.
5. Can produce hero units.
6. Limited to 1 per player.
7. Cost 20 turns. (it is more useful than Pentagon becuase it can produce all tanks and has researches for them)

I'm suggesting this because National Defense Management Center's Building was built in 1979-1987 years while this one was built even before war - in 1930-th years.

You are buffing your building too much! I get your Russian! But this building is not supposed to be a production building."Hero" units are the only exception. Techs could be added, but boosts were supposed to be the main Meal.

It's alright, we discussed the idea together. He said the Russian Ministry of Defence building was built as late as the 1970s. Thought it would be okay because this topic would get enough attention, and hopefully some images done. Being fair, this game needs a whole lot more attention in order for it to progress.

Yes I agree that this game needs more attention, but it is hard for me to add techs to this building because we have a topic for a "research building". like rockery.

I'm guessing the Pentagon will help us get the Manhattan Project.

What else were the Americans known for. Did the CIA or FBI play a part in the war. Pretty sure they did but were they in Europe.

In UralWagonFactory you can research anything from barracks and normal tank and artillery factories.
Also i thought about having if possible in this building 2 separate production lines:
One for normal units (tanks and other) and one for researches and hero units.
But without money couriers-like spawning and without mending.

Also i think that attacks of mega buildings (if they have ones) must be powerful enough to kill medium tanks and any airplanes. With all its shots cocentrated in it.

About Pentagon - it also can be hero producing and research center. I'm pretty sure that most of researches were carried out under protectorate of Pentagon. So this building can research most of american techs from all buildings.

The pentagon building and others like that, are to build generals and hero's. Techs are a bonus. Here is the outline of the Japanese building.

I shouldn't, it's the outline for better artists to shade and fix.

I've held on to this image for awhile. Anyone want to finish it or should I finalize it myself?

I think only you can see what needs to be done on this image. And you already have the 3D perspective. So I will just review it so you can edit it.

1. Remember shadowing. I would recommend that you make it at least 10 value darker then the original color being used for the building.
2. Light grey. The Pentagon is white, and while the in-game color for the american nation is green I believe that it should be mainly grey with green splattered intermittently.
3. Armaments. Since this building has attack powers, it should have AA guns, sandbag bunkers, Mg nests and other essential defenses.

Does this resolve the 1st 2 issues? Gotta draw different mega buildings in the meantime.
