It's hard to overstate how much more advanced and realistic WITW is in this regard.
sound great in theory, but in practice to some it sounds a bit too hardcore and maybe a bit boring, the main fault with WITE for me anyway was the amount of time it needed to play, there was no quick play, no lets have half and hour, it was full on or not at all, as not everyone has that amount of time, for me it's classed as hardcore or a sim, make any game too realistic and the balance between fun and a hard slog gets a bit too close for many, its a fine line it's going atm, yes not everyone will play any war game, i understand that.
its not every ones cup of tea, but if you make it too hard for those that do, you may loose some of them as well...
i look forward to either testing it or playing it on release, but as the total time spent on WITE is very little, because of the complexities of it, I'm starting to think this maybe going the same way, I'll still buy it all the same, as it will be great to add another one to the collection, i just don't think as yet I'll invest the time needed to fully play it...
too easy and its a steam game and everyone can play it, so more normally buys it, see it, talks about it etc etc
medium and less buy it, it may or may not get a steam release or wide audience, equals less sales etc
hard or hardcore, well that just follows the above patten in the wrong way, but i guess your not making games for the money, your doing it because you enjoy the games you make and play them, or else you'd be making fps etc
so good luck and hope you all get the balance right, and lets hope the mediocre players like me can get into it and enjoy this one better than WITE[&o][&o][&o]
As with any game if your looking for quick play vs AI 2by3 has the best, no ones even close. 2by3's AI vs anyone else's is like Apollo 13 vs Enterprise.
So you can play a few mins a night or hrs when the old ladys gone shopping.
If your doing H v H you have to know all the little things and how they work or you get smoked by a master - this is as it always is.
You can't expect to compete with someone who is hard core into any game.
There is nothing simple when your playing another human in a large game.
If your looking for quick turns in WitW play Germany.
WitE is clearly the best war game to-date and WitW is better then WitE.
If something is wrong I am the first one to btch if you have been following WitE from day one. I think I hold the records for most banishments from the forums hehehe
2by3 puts out great products and they support their games with hot patchs and up-dates YEARS after release.
WitW +1
