RE: New Game?

<t> For what it's worth, I much prefer if there is only one playable side that is fun to play and has an excellent opponent AI than making every side playable but having a worse overall AI and game balance as a result. <br/>

So... basically exactly what you did with Hannibal[:D]<br/>

RE: New Game?

Just noticed the new screenshots for the upcoming game, looks great!

Can you already say what is the focus of the game? What years does it cover? And will you again be able to play only one faction or several ones?

RE: Spanish Civil War

Spanish Civil War DLC would be amazing, but it would be a huge amount of work!
Just having a start date with more or less historical forces and the same engine as in WitW really wouldn't do it any justice.

Why are some SS units black and grey?

Just curious if this means they were mixed Wehrmacht-SS units or something?

<t> Don't expect any miracles from the patch. It may fix some individual big problems, but it won't make the AI "good". <br/>

<t> Unfortunately, to appreciate the game you need to play against other players. <br/>

Yes, against the AI it is no WW1 at all and I also had not much fun. <br/>

But once you start playing with 2 other players, it is a fantastic WW1 game.<br/>

Nope, they're as good as anyone else. In fact, all nations' troops are 100 % equal. The only difference is tech level and generals, obviously.

RE: Patch 1.5.2 ?

I don't think you should go too much into fantasy, just for playability. Advanced tanks for Germans don't make any sense. Maybe even change it into no tanks at all?
