Unity of Command Versus Panzer Corps?

I did buy Panzer Corps but stopped playing on Day One because the AI offers no significant challenge (I prefer to play games in single-player mode).

C'mon....sigh, spare me. You don't buy a $40 game just to stop playing after one day when you're still trying to understand how everything works, not to mention that this game gets seriously difficult after the easy start and especially on higher levels. If the single player is that easy, then explain to me why most die hard players seem to prefer the single player according to discussions in the forum? [8|]

It's very clear that you just grabbed an illegal copy, otherwise you would have made a much more serious effort.

To the original poster; why are you asking on the Unity of Command forum which one is better, that's just as pointless as asking on a BMW forum about BMW vs Audi.

Btw, I like both games. [;)]

I don't actually know what made you think accusing people of using illegal copies of games (just because they couldn't be bothered putting a little more effort in) was right - but it most certainly isn't.

I've had plenty of games that I couldn't get into and shelved on day one or soon after...and none of them were illegal copies.

Perhaps you need a break from the forums to analyse how you're going to interact with people?

In your opinion, where should he have posted this question?

I think there have been some pretty honest and varied posts on both sides. That's what I like about the Matrix forums.

I must confess I am no fan of Panzer General and downloaded the Pz Corps demo just to check. It does not appeal to me but each to their own. I was concerned this title might be Pz Corps and would doubtless have started this thread if it were not here already. I am planning to buy a couple of titles to play over Xmas/New Year and this thread has ensured this title will be one of them. Thanks for all the comments.

The AI is very sophisticated in this game. More than in PC. I can beat PC pretty handily (though admittedly I have a lot of PG experience) at General level. But the first campaign scenario in this game is very challenging due to the AI. Like an earlier poster said, I watch the AI and think "man that's just right..going for just the right hex....AARRGH!"
This game is going to take some time to learn. Like the Armchair General review said it is not beer and pretzels even if it is very simple in its mechanics.
Honestly at the moment I'm a bit intimidated by the AI..[&o]. I plead a head cold though [:D]
