I like the idea of walls, and maybe gates too. It would bring more
strategy into the game. A problem I just thought of, I don't think it
would be possible to get the AI to use all of this correctly. They
might just block themselves in with walls or something like that. But
you could probably work around it by giving the AI there buildings
from the beginning of the map and not allow them to build more. Or
maybe have them only buildable on special terrain types, I think that
could work as well.

your idea about construction of buildings, it would make the game more
strategic since you would want to build closer. Perhaps having buildable
walls would also be fun, I don't know much about how that would throw off
the balance of the game but If you needed resources to build them it would
give the game a nice feel.

I'm assuming the supply point is meant to simulate the unit needing food?
Then losing one per round would be more realistic. Even though maps most
often last longer than 20 rounds, individual units rarely if ever do, so it
shouldn't be a issue. In fact, it might be too much since you would then
almost never need to resupply units. I guess it would also be more
interesting if different units lose food at different rates, for example
cavalry losing it faster since they need to feed the mount and the rider.
Maybe make it so the food producing building can send supplies to the units
directly without passing through your city first; that way you could build
it further out to resupply them more easily. I was also thinking, instead of
having the city able to summon buildings, rather create worker units able to
build the structures anywhere. They could maybe summon a construction site
or something similar, which would turn into the building after a certain
number of rounds or after receiving enough supplies, or both.
Then would, stone, metal or which ever similar resources you include could
be used for building construction.

I was just wanting to ask an opinion...
The plan was to have various structures create resources. These
different resources, wood, metal and food, would be sent to the city,
where it would create supply wagons to send the generic supply to other
units.
My thought was that a unit with a supply point would then need to
expend that point. Is it better to have that supply get subtracted
every round, or is it better to have that supply point used when an
attack is made?
I was thinking units would start with 20 supplies.
Any thoughts?
The only real concern about supplies in a general sense is that some
maps wil feature short skirmishes that might last longer then twenty
rounds, but that would mean everyone had to have a supply wagon on
hand regardless. This seems clunky to me, but more short maps were
asked for, so this is a concern.
Especially when it comes to the boats. I do plan on some units having
forage so they don't need supply wagons, but the majority wont.
I don't know. I just need some input on this if anyone has the time.
