Two questions

[elmo3]

How is the balance in the PBEM scenarios? Played a lot of PC by PBEM but never felt like the scenarios were well balanced for that mode.

Is there a replay of the enemy turn when playing PBEM?

Thanks.

Its hard to judge the balance as there are not many AARs or much feedback on this topic, but scenarios can be adjusted by the players if they want to. You can play any single map you like or designed yourself by uploading it to the server when you start a new challenge.

There is no replay, but a combat protocol that lists every single engagement with all details.

OK, thanks for the quick reply. Maybe a better wording of my question on balance would have been whether the scenarios are designed and tested for PBEM or solo play against the AI.

Downloaded the demo and will give it a look.

I prefer PBEM, and the performance was flawless from day-one, compared to some other Matrix releases that are getting fixed. I would like a way to communicate with the other player, however. Bottom line, at $20 with the new patch, buy it and you can always pound on me [;)]

It's a good game when you simply don't have the energy for WitE.

in 1.04 some are adjusted especially with multiplayer games in mind, so they have different victory conditions than the single maps.

This is true for maps that showed some flaws, e.g. at Moscow it was too easy for the Soviets to sit and wait to the end while the Germans had to do all the work. In the new version there now is a draw to "punish" a lazy Soviet player who does not attack towards Volokolamsk, or a German player who does not risk all to get into Moscow.

Again you can play maps you edited yourself to adjust possible flaws and we are always happy to consider critism and suggestions for updates.

OK, thanks.
