<t> I liked playing this game on the computer and the board game. The only issue I had with the computer game vs. board game is the AI being weak, and that's a problem I've found with all computer games.<br/> <br/> I've also played the Total War: Napoleon game, which is a great game for this time pe...

Playing on a PC.

Slider for Armageddon doesn't work on unit selection screen. Purchasing units, selecting units, etc.

Slider works fine for Panzer corps.

<t> Comments on AIs: Generally, PR comes out the best (simplest tactics maybe?). General comments all AI players put too many infantry factors into garrison and not enough into corps. All AI players overcommit forces to minor countries. All AI players are slow to complete conquests of minor countrie...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: pzgndr<br/> Beyond that, and based on the sample rotation given above, what other insights should Marshall consider?<br/> - Do the difficulty settings for easy/medium/hard need to be reconsidered?  Hard AI currently receives 20% bonus on manpower and money but mayb...

<t> Here is a sample rotation as France vs. the AI players. Note: AI players on hard. All other six players at war with France in 1805. Note that Russia managed to hold out for five years (until Nov, 1810) with two of those years being the only remaining power at war with France. <br/> <br/> 1812, S...

<t> We have all these econ phase warnings on buying new corps (when in most cases there are no new corps available).<br/> <br/> What we don't have is a warning that you havn't spent your manpower or money yet.<br/> <br/> It is very easy to overlook a minor free state. It would be nice to have a warn...

Oh yes, and perhaps most important optional rule of them all, the ability for other major powers to become a dominant power. Really inspires people to try and achieve something other than victory points.

<t> 1) One of my favorite optional rules is the limit on lost provinces: can only lose 3 provinces maximum (prevents elimination of a player).<br/> 2) Another optional rule: Other pre-existing DOWs besides GB vs. FR<br/> 3) GB vs. FR can only end in unconditional surrender<br/> 4) Kingdom of North I...

<t> Another AI comment: AI does not build minor free state forces.<br/> <br/> I saw free state Egypt, Sweden, Denmark, Hesse etc. not build any free state forces. I confirmed that the AI was not building forces by wiping out the minor free state corps, but leaving the country in the control of the A...

<t> As someone who recently started playing the computer version (and played the board game many years ago), I'm pretty happy with the progress on EiA. <br/> <br/> As I see it, there are three modes you can play the game in (and possibly hybrids).<br/> <br/> Human vs. AI<br/> <br/> Human vs. Human (...

thanks, both suggestions worked great. change order is on the second page of the reinforcement phase.

<t> Some comments on AI<br/> <br/> 1) AI builds far too many garrisons and not enough infantry corps. In a 1.08 game, the AI Russia has over 150 factors of infantry in garrisons and no infantry corps. Only cavalry and artillery corps are on the map. This is while at war with France for 3+ years. Oth...

<t> A couple of questions:<br/> <br/> 1) Is there any way to export the messages? The display panel is hard to read. I like that is shows all the messages from the beginning of the game (DOW, control, combat, etc). I'd like to copy or export those messages to word, notepad, or another text editor.<b...

<t>I've seen a couple of games where London was sacked by the French or the Russians. <br/> <br/> I've seen a couple of games where the UK surrended either before an invasion or after an invasion.<br/> <br/> I've also seen a game where I was the UK and I accepted unconditional surrenders from France...

<r>I agree with the other comments. I've played at least half a dozen email games of EIA over the past ten years.<br/> <br/> Some comments. Definitely have a feature so that a live player or a computer player can be replaced with a new live player. And that includes the Host as well, as there is no ...

<r>Boardgame vs. Computer game is an interesting issue.<br/> <br/> On the one hand, you have to ask who is the subject matter expert, the person who wrote the boardgame or the person who is writing the computer game translation of the boardgame (or for that matter, the novelist vs. the movie script ...

<r>I can't think of a single "complex" wargame that had a decent AI on the first release.<br/> <br/> Have you ever played WiF? A full game of it? With 4 to 7 players?<br/> <QUOTE author="pasternakski"><s>[QUOTE=pasternakski]</s>Very, very bad idea. First, you've got to get all of the "sales punch" y...

<t>Good luck!!!<br/> <br/> I'm one of the testers for the current version of cWiF. Here are my comments.<br/> <br/> Some suggestions:<br/> 1st) <br/> a)Think Multiplayer, either by saving/email, or collaboration technology. <br/> b) Make the AI a secondary objective and release the game before the A...
