Right now, most countries attack exclusively with Jets. A simple change to the way gains are determined could give people an incentive to use troops or tanks as part of their attacking army.
You gain anywhere from 100% to 120% of the normal landgains depending on what portion of your attacking army is jets
You gain anywhere from 0 to 400% of the normal technology gains depending on what portion of your attacking army is tanks
You gain anywhere from 0 to 400% of the normal food & cash gains depending on what portion of your attacking army is troops
These would not be special attacks. If you did a Standard Strike with only tanks, you would still need to defeat the enemy's troops, turrets, tanks, and defensive allies. But your tech gains would be tremendous (and land gains would not have any bonus).
The numbers may or may not be balanced, but obviously could be adjusted to properly balance them. Obviously, since the main reason for grabbing is to gain land, the tech and the food & cash gains need a much higher percent cap. Also, the way DR is affected by LGs would need to be changed.
But on the positive side, this would bring strategy into determining what offensive units to use when attacking, and would increase the demand for tanks and troops as more than just protection against GS and AB, or for networth at the end of the set.
