Any good as solitaire?

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

Any good as solitaire?

Post by Happycat »

GG World at War was okay, but the AI didn't really do that much after the first few turns. I found that the Japanese AI would waste a lot of effort in China, and virtually ignore the Central and South Pacific.

Is "World Divided" any better as a single player game?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

The AI is definately better. Its been refined quite a bit since WaW. Is it going to provide the game challenge as a human player? No, probably not, but with some supply help it can put up a pretty good game.
 
There are also two new scenarios (one for each side) specifically designed for play against the AI which give bonus production and population to the AI's side.
 
All in all, its a much more enjoyable experience against the AI, although for the best challenge, you'd do well to get into a PBEM or TCP/IP game.

In WaW I could beat the AI on Impossible.
In AWD I am sofar hard pressed beating in on Hard.
 
If you play against the AI on Hard using the scenarios that give the AI nations a bit extra manpower etc I believe you will find it to be quite a challenge.
 
So, I believe the answer to be that, yes, the game is quite good solitaire.

The addition of the random neutral country shifts when neutrals are attacked and better AI means each game tends to develop differently too.

Though I have never had the honour to play against Jan I believe he's a hell of a player or so everybody says. [&o][&o][&o]
So if he states it's hard for him, I would say it will be real tough for any other (playing on a hard or impossible level), specially if you just got the game and not played WAW before.

So, I believe the answer to be that, yes, the game is quite good solitaire

If Jan says so, you can beleive him. [;)]

I am now only going to win a time victory as Axis against the Allied WA on Hard Total War....the AI is not that bad.
