blockade runners

[daidojisan]

The blockade runner process is abstracted once you get into the Blockade Box, you are supposed to run your little affair successfully until you retreat yourself or are sunk. We first wanted to have the player make one run and then return, but this would have been tedious to do that every turn for each ships. While the runner is in the box, he get you one war supply a turn.

Hi Pocus, on page 41 of the manual it states "Each active blockade runner will provide up to one Money and one War Supply per turn to the CSA untill it is sunk"

Will a blockade runner provide one money + one war supply or just one war supply as stated in your earlier post. (hopefully the former)

This has changed, when we publish figures, they are valid for the current beta versions, this is why most manual don't give precise numbers as they are subject to change.

For now one, a runner give up to 2 points, in money or war supply. What you exactly get is inversely proportional to your stocks, so that you get what you want the most.

I can confirm that this works perfectly. In my recent game, I began with a shortage of war materials, so I was getting those. As my investments in industry started to pan out a bit, I began to receive both at about 50/50, then once I had built up a small stock of materials, I began to get all money. The CSA will probably always reach this point fairly quickly, you can improve your output of supplies, but your money and manpower will always be the limiting factors.
