Some idea for Military Feature

[Russishgao]

As you know the military base is just a decoration (de-facto) for your city or just needs for one event - UFO invasion. But I'm personally never used this and it's make no sense, maybe for fun or if you annoyed by your city and wanna destroy it so hard. I've seen so many topics 'bout wars, some people really wants to turn this perfect game in something like Call of Duty with this weird political boom-boom sim or in grind game with camp raids, resource farming and other freak mechanics for little kids. I'm not understand that. Why you need this so hard? It's not fun, ruin creativity, ruin game idea and potentially will ruin whole game. What's on your mind?

Nevermind. When I saw all this weird kiddo topics, I've got some idea how to use military structures in game more effective and make this donate game element more useful for people. I don't know, maybe someone suggest this idea once but I'm not see it. So, I suggest it.

As a fact you pay 420 diamonds for literally nothing. It's just an element and you probably don't need this in fact. I'll bought it and use it for decorating military harbours, ground garrisons and air bases but I'm not that need it, it's just taking your space on region map and all you got its ghostly security for your citizens (bunkers, yeah, laugh my butt off) and cool status like "my city secured by military, if something goes wrong I'll not shy for send it to the hot point" but military base just create noise and useless patrols. This may be useful for role play in good company but if you are single, you don't need this and 420 diamonds it's waste of time and money (well if you don't wanna decorate your city by military elements like me, on this side this waste of time and money not that useless).

I'm not pushing event button but I'm sure 'bout military can be more useful in game, so there's my idea.

First, I'm sure 'bout devs should delete military roads for military base element (why military can't use default roads and launch city patrols?). Well, if patrol mechanic don't let you do that it may be deleted and military may be something regular like rare service cars on the streets or may be used for calling to stop the riots like S.W.A.T. (but more expensive and more effective and stop people from rebel in a long time, something like democratic military system or military dictatorship). Or it may be used like helpful structure for special forces like on one side of city you have headquarter of special forces, on the other - military base and that be enough to secure your city and shut your citizens.

Second. Devs can create new event - military parade and for that event you need an active military base in your region. Just push this button and choose your street for military march (of course it should be expensive but gives to your people happiness points, they should fear of your power) or choose a route like when you making bus lines.

And of course if you use testing ground for your rocket to Government pleasure, this mechanic should not be destructive for your city. Common, it's weird, no one in his mind don't thinking 'bout ruind economy of region just for fun or compensation and have nothing from it in a long perspective. It can be when you pushing UFO and this in fact turns into a acceptable damage when you literally join into the war.

Without something like this military bases still be a useless part of the game, but I'm not the expert, just suggesting my idea to ya and want to discuss 'bout it. Maybe this can't be realised or maybe it can be, I'm sure about it way more better than just "add a wars, we want to fight and we don't care if you think that's stupid".

What do ya think 'bout it?

I forgot the military feature existed, I only had one military base on one city, and that one was on my first TheoTown city after I bought it on Steam in 2024

Yeah, same feeling. When I'm building my city I use this feature 'bout last turn or not, if I wish of course. But it's really sad that this feature is really useless and devs don't wanna remake it somehow.

But it's hard to forgot it, at least I pay 420 diamonds for it.

Honestly I don't find the military feature is that useless, it's useful when you want to earn money by building missile silos.
But other building it's indeed useless, i don't see a reason why you should build tank garage and storage depot other than decoration

At first I thought this was going to be yet another war suggestion, but I was wrong. Well done on actually writing a good suggestion as a settler
