I could use some feedback before I risk $140 bucks on a game that may or may not work?

Is there a way to buy the game then add it to my steam collection?

Can I use the latest iteration of Wine with this?

I have Ubuntu 24.04

I want to get this if they ever implement an ai to play against ...

Seems like a great idea! Something other than "waiting for Steve" needs to be implemented asap.

World in Flames is not abandoned.

We've released several updates over 2024 and are planning more updates for this year. Steve is currently the only active developer working on the game and we're giving him as much time and support to work on these updates. As per multiple communications over ...

Refunds should be given.

I would be happy with a store credit that could be used on a functional game.

Anyone can post whatever he feels like, but I would like not to see so much wishful thinking here, asking for impossible things instead of being practical and asking for possible things.

Anyone who has played board WIF, or enough MWIF for the matter, knows perfectly well that it is impossible at ...

I understand that you don´t want to show off an non-refined AI to the public but I guess most interested in this game can handle WIP mechanics with sensitivity.

Is it possible to make the current AI available also for non-betatesters? Perhaps with a warning "wip, may be broken, etc) and only ...

This assumes that we hear more from Steve than you do.

I did. It's an unpaid position. You may have heard this before: "You get what you pay for."

Well, I think the game was sold warning that there was no AI at the moment, I tend to remember.

If so, no refund is necessary for not having an AI. A different matter would be the bugs, but even though I get sour many times I dont regret buying it.

No AI "at the moment" is very different from ...

At least a store credit if not a refund.

I was able to get the new version to work only after deleting everything WIF related from my c: and d: drives, then re-downloading the 3.0 original file, installing that, then applying the new patch. I did inquire about the poor development progress. I was told if I knew anyone willing to work on ...

What deadline?
Schedule for 2024
The expectation is that the AIO will be playing the Russian side of the Barbarossa scenario fairly well by March 1st, 2024.
Is it March yet?

It's now well into July. Is there any information on AI progress? Can we at least get into the beta? Is everyone so busy that 5 minutes a month for updates is too much work?

Thank You!

This is a public beta release, and I assume that the AIO is included. So you should be able to test the AIO (as it currently is).

I don't understand this part then. What zip file? There is none anywhere in the WiF folders. All these files are there but apparently not the right ones as I have no ...

So if we are not an official beta tester, we still cannot play against AIO?

Another month gone. Is there any news? Does Steve have any deadlines to meet or is it just an open ended contract to finish whenever? Perhaps he could use some help from a an experienced AI programmer? Does MG have any expectations? Will it be this summer, this year, 2025, etc.

The beta ...

Hi everyone,

Steve has continued working on the AI and we've been checking in with him bi-weekly. Without a doubt, the WIF AI has proven more challenging than he expected but he has not given up. He's working through Barbarossa AI decisions phase by phase and when that's done we will have a ...
