    in depth equipment allocation.

    buying X amount of weapons and gear seems a bit of a pointless feature!
    (That said, i think we all agree, there needs to be more stuff to choose from)
    But for it to really count, and be more of an immersive feature, I think we should be able to assign weapons and armor to our lieutenants as and when we want. Different attributes could be affected in either a good or bad way depending on the gear your assigning and the type of lieutenant your assigning it to.
    Or add a new feature that allows you to build or recruit your own army of street soldiers. That way the amount of handguns and body armour you need to buy will be dependant on how many soldiers you have to supply.

    Bit of a rant but
    Look at it like this...

    Me, you and every ally we have are all the main characters of our own underworld acc (each one a Boss in our own right)
    So the number of other bosses (allies) we have should not be any sort of factor when invading another player. It should be on how many street soldiers you have in ya personal army and how well you've equipped them.
    Could have a couple of different types of soldiers ie; thugs, goons, soldiers, spy's, assassins, samurai, ronin.
    Even allocate the type of soldiers available to a player from the type of account you chose at the start.
    Syndicate will have samurai, ronin, assassins etc available to them
    While the Streets will have the likes of goons, thugs, gang bangers etc
    So on and so forth...

    What's all your thoughts on it???
    34BEEE my ally code, feel free to add me

    When you engage in war your allies help you fight. Therefore more allies = stronger war effort.

    Take a look at World War 2…

    Allied Powers: US, UK, Russia, France etc
    Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, Japan, etc

    If, for example, it was France only (no allies) fighting all the Axis Powers, France certainly would have lost. So ally count does and should affect the outcome of a war.

    That would be a downgrade from the current item system. In the status quo, all items and their powers are automatically activated in combat.

    If you make items equip-only, and I craft a legendary AH-77 War Machine, I have to equip that to ONE specific LT. That reduces Inner Circle mobility because if I swap out that LT I need to move the item as well, or else I lose a lot of power.

    Seems like an interesting idea, but if executed I think it would be tedious to micromanage.

    Edit: I read it again and realized you weren't talking about LTs, you were talking about "street soldiers." Again, I think the current ally system is fine. It incentivizes people to socialize and actively seek other players—maybe even send gifts. Currently you can recruit 3x NPCs as allies for 10 FP. The way I see it, that's a huge ripoff.

      You're making it too much like a storm8 game. The current system is fine. One thing I'd like to see is more emphasis on the factions however. I feel like your choice should be more important than it is, especially later in the game. I'm not talking about respect rewards or bonuses, but actual factions. I feel like they should have a deeper significance to them other than just giving us SP and bonuses.

        OK you raised a good point with the need for allies. I understand how allied forces can be a serious factor in any fight.
        But it shouldn't be such a prominent factor. Surely you can see how adding random allies from posted ally codes in chat is less of an achievement then a show of strength from an army you've personally built up over months of hard work, money and missions?

        As for the legendary AH-77 youd have to asign...well that's the whole point of making it more immersive. By getting us a bit more involved with strategic equipment and LT set ups. Even if it means you have to choose the old bat as its a strategically better choice for your set up, stats wise.

        Final fant and games alike have had us torn between what we want to equip and what we realistically have to equip for many years now...

        Im a very active player and I love this game but its starting to feel like there's very lil personal input. Chooseing our name and assigning our own lieutenants to different seat's is about as far as it goes. The rest is just going through the motions.

          Re: in depth equipment allocation.

          I totally agree. Choosing a faction the first time around seemed like it was gonna be more of a game defining choice than it turned out to be. Could do with giving it a bit more of an active roll in the game.
