I joined a new type game yesterday. The new version is so horrible it is unplayable to any meaningful degree. You have a choice at the beginning of do nothing for say 5 days and hope nobody attacks you or a limited attack. meet resistance from AI and then get hammered. For unless you spend real money on gold you cant get enough resources to grow the economy and arm and research. Frankly it is shit.

You are obsessed that I dont know what I am doing. I always will select the appropriate provinces to build so I put the least important resources furthest from the border. I then do economic upgrade. Level, recruitment, level. But if you dont build any forces one attack will wipe you out. I put more effort into economy and morale actually. Where I need some assistance in probably is in force composition. PS The 2500 stack was star level HT.

Well thanks for being more constructive. I have little or no experience of the other games you referred to. All my experience before CoW was naval games and they tended to be 'on the bridge' shoot/torpedo types. I cant remember the names now. A number of submarine games but there was sadly little strategy ones I knew about. The reason we disagree over gold is because I often have come across in end games massive stacks the largest in points value was 2700. There is no way you can accumulate scor…

Why cant you stop the arrogance? You ooze it through what you say. Read what I said instead of thinking what I said. I didnt say I was particularly good or bad but the constant use of gold makes it impossible to play many games without being overwhelmed. As for your 'experience' I was playing war games in 1974 can you match that? No didnt think so, but my interest was and remains naval wargaming. A great book was P Dunn's on naval wargaming. Those days we gamed with 1:1200 scale ships though sub…

My skills are ok. Perhaps you would like to impart some of your knowledge Napoleon? What I like about WB is they can help prevent rebellions which was a whoosh for you right over your head. So you take a province and it is 25% morale. What do you do crack on steamrolling your way through like an IDF tank crew? I used to put something in the taken 25% moral province to STOP a rebellion, but WB can help mitigate it by increasing the morale above the 30% limit. A 70% win rate is a golder. So Mr Gol…

What a load of baloney. Ive played with the same guys for nearly all that time and we have similar stats. Your drivel over rebellions is just that total crap. I hardly ever lose provinces to rebellions because I plan how to overcome them. I also deplore your arrogance. I dont consider whether or not I am a good player, not over bothered really, but I know what I am not - a big head like you.

Hmm interesting comments. I started playing when it was the old or older CoW just before lockdown. It took me a while to find my feet but I disagree with many of the things on here. 1. The number of golders has slowly increased over the last 4 years or so. It is now the thing totally ruining the game. Am not completely sure how you recognise them but total game win percentages is my yardstick. If it is high ie above 30% I start to get suspicious. 2. War bonds. Hmm I dont mind them and I dont thi…

Quote from Nobodyx2: “I think there should be an option to increase eg food production and decrease money production with a minimum and maximum limit (in every province) ” Are you bonkers? It is usually the thing you have far too much of. A way around it is to be able to reduce the amount produced (they wont do that unless you have to pay for it through gold).

One of the major problems you experience as the game progresses is the inability to sell food. If you dont manage food cities carefully you will end up with zillions of $ worth of food you cant sell. This is nuts. There is no management you can do because you cant alter the volume of food produced by any given city unless you increase its industry level. But the problem will arise anyway. Why is nothing done about this? Anything and everything has a price so why is their a floor in demand? Also …

Quote from K.Rokossovski: “Quote from Hans A. Pils: “Milita needs a respectable amount of food; bit of manpower; little bit of money. Infantry needs same amount of food; bit more manpower; moderate amount of money; some goods; maybe tiny bit of steel. Mot. Infantry needs same amount of food; bit more manpower; bit more money; some goods; bit of steel; some oil. Commandos need same amount of food; even more manpower; very much money; some goods; tiny bit of steel. ” We could already see diverging…
