<t> Wow, some people really go out of their way to be rude. It's one thing to think the AI is bad, and to say so, but there is no need to bend over backwards to be offensive about it. It is really difficult to design a good AI, and almost impossible to design one capable of defeating a human player ...

I would go so far as to say that, in real life, it is debatable if Barbarossa could have succeeded in defeating the Soviet Union no matter what military decisions the Germans made once the invasion started.

<r> <I><s>[i]</s>"For any given game there is a segment of people who are willing to buy the game at full price. These people buy it on day one and for a few months after.

<t> Well if you weakened cavalry, especially if undisordered cavalry were in the opposing battle group, it would solve much of the problem addressed two posts above. Likewise, if disordered cavalry were more vulnerable, it would make it far more dangerous to charge with cavalry as a first move ...

<t> First of all, the game does not 'suck'. Not even close. I have had a lot of fun playing the game and already got my money's worth, given that it is a $30 game.<br/>
<br/>
Now, could it be a lot better? Sure. But if the game as is wasn't fun and didn't seem like it could be fun, I wouldn't care ...

<t> another suggestion, when France declares war, this gives Britain +2 political points. Like this and other threads are saying, its too easy to camp armies in central Europe and repeatedly knock out Austria, then Prussia, before the Russians can arrive to help, over and over. <br/>

Also, I ...

How about a system where you can only pass the initiative (say) twice before the enemy must take an action. That would help get rid of the situations where Napoleon is out of actions but the allies have almost all of theirs banked up.

I agree with all of the above. Good ideas!

<t> At first glance, I agreed with this suggestion. But then I realized that making this change would be an advantage for the French because Napoleon is so likely to win initiative rolls. It would mean that Napoleon could fire the units he wants to fire first, and then save his initiative for if ...

<t> I had a few comments and suggestions I wanted to piggyback onto this thread. I just finished the 1805 campaign and won a 100VP victory on the normal difficulty level. I am an experienced Hannibal player so there wasn't a huge learning curve. Many of my comments are building on other player ...

Do the leaders not have names in this game? In the Hannibal game every leader had their name, but in this game I see no names on the leader units and mouseover or clicking on the unit does not help. Is this a graphic glitch or is it intended to be this way? Thanks in advance for any help!

<t> Just wanted to say that the "Hannibal" game was outstanding. Looked simplistic at first glance, which can sometimes be a negative for us hex and counter wargamers from the 70s and 80s, but the game was full of flavor, and relatively easy to learn and quick to play, but difficult to win at high ...

<t> I dont have the game yet, but wanted to comment about Germany/France and the comment about Paris being threatened 'within a year'. Ideally IMO Paris should be threatened within a couple months, or else not until 1918 (or maybe not at all after those first months). <br/>

I liked the game ...

Please dont bring issues like that to this game's forum. That is something that belongs in the WitE forum, if anywhere. Lets dont use this game as yet another excuse to vent about WitE. In ...

<t> Its not fair to compare a game that represents one part of the Eastern front over less than a year, to a game that represents the entire campaign four year campaign. Inherently a game like WiTE is going to be harder to 'balance' than a game representing 1942, which after all is when the two ...

Can we please chill out on WitE. And just give good reason for getting this game. Because all this trashing of WitE is actually turning me off from getting DC OP BLAU.
