GoA for singleplayers?

[Valgua]

Hi! Now that the game has been out for a while and after a couple of patches, would you recommend GoA to a guy mainly interested in single player? Is the AI good enough?

That depends on your level of play and how much playability a game should be offering you but IMO I must say no.

I usually don't play that much PBEM as I prefer the old fashioned boardgames but really - with this gem I have become addicted to PBEM (with GOA that is) [:)]

But then again if you are content with just the digital download you are only making an investment of 24 Euro.....

Well, I think if you are new to the game, you can expect the AI to give you an interesting time until you master the system. As the CP I generally win over the AI by the end of 1917. As the Entente, the game is usually over quite a bit sooner.
With the new patches, the AI does a better job of staying in the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if the AI could now defeat a new player. You can handicap the game also to give the AI an advantage if it becomes too easy.

Play the AI a few times to learn the ropes, but to have a real challenge and fun play PBEM. This game really shines with PBEM and the turns go fast with two opponents that maintain their stride.

As already said, once you master the system, the AI provides much less of a challenge than a live opponent, but it's still the best WW1 simulation available.
I've said this before, if you're interested in the subject, buy the game. It's definitely worthwhile.
