I don't think I've read a single page of the rulebook and I've done fairly well!

I think the manual is essencial, unless you are already a CoG veteran ...

This game is worth it. One of the best strategy games around imo. If you are an old school strategy gamer you'll love it.


I disagree with you on EU3, though.

Oh! Nice improvements on the patch!!! Thanks!!!

The three things I think need adjustment given this is the way the strategic level of conquest among major powers works:<br/>

1) AI acts like it can 'beat' me if it conquests a single province. The AI is pretty ...

I think the designers put those checks and balances to keep the game to derail too much into the realms of fantasy. Don't forget many of the main actors of the time shared blood with each other and there was a concept of balance of power that did not allow too much ...

CoG:EE for me all the time.

Was just provoking you... [;)]

My comments HERE are based from someone who owns BOTH titles.

<r> Just to echo here the words said before. Besides the designing/coding of MMP2, I have been playing CoG:EE in the last few weeks exclusively and it is such a brilliant game (8/10 barbarossa2? That's QUITE harsh! <E>;)</E> ). Teleporting out of the blue is not in line with the rest of the ...

<t> I agree with barbarossa2 the troop teleportation breaks the logic and the suspention of disbelief this game so masterfully achieves. Something more sophisticated could very well be implemented.<br/>
<br/>
In my opinion, a simple way to deal with it (and as we are talking about a patch thing ...

<r> Wow Anthropoid!<br/>
Very interesting points you raise on your posts.<br/>
<br/>
Honestly I am not too worried about the future of "true" strategy computer games. The point is, even if a niche market, there will always be enough of us to motivate talented people to write games with our tastes ...

In a Detailed Battle that I felt I should have lost, the AI seemed to not want to win. AI started off aggressive and hit my supply wagons, but after that it seemed to dance back and forth and never dealt the final blows that would have ...

Congrats on a great and detailed review!




I'd give it 9 out of 10, maybe because I am less demanding!

- Screen Resolution
- Mouse Wheel zoom
- Land and Sea Battle Generator from the Main Menu

Dang! I just printed out the 177 page manual for MMP1! In 2-3 months I will have to print the MMP2 manual now. I am one of the 400,000 downloads and this MOD is incredible! I had stopped playing EU3, then I stumbled upon the MOD and thought I would give ...

<t> It really depends. As a basis I prefer turn based games, but I think game like Harpoon, Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron are realyl well designed for deep strategy while being real time. If course, this means the pause key is used lots of times to acess the situation and act.<br/>

Thanks for the kind words. More than 400.000 downloads and the dozens of weekly support emails we receive, besides the activity in the forum mean a lot to us. [:)]<br/>

We are now deep into the production cycle of Magna Mundi Platinum 2 and I can promise you lots of ...

<t> I think the trick to do it effectively and without too much work for you Eric, is to first pick an easy country to start with. This means fewer provinces, not at war and hopefully that can avoid war in the first 3 or 4 turns.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
After this the very basic guidelines should be ...

<r> First things first: Great game! Congratulations on the team!<br/>

For the last years I have been playing just a few games: CoG, Harpoon CE, Hearts of Iron II, Crusader Kings:DV, Football Manager 200x, while spending most of my free time on a mod - called Magna Mundi - of ...
