So basically I am a fairly new player. I joined the game a month ago want to talk about a few things.
1) The game tutrorial is geniunely useless. When I joined the game I could not figure out what to do because the tutorial does not teach anything about rebellions, upkeep, war penalty, sbde, etc. Most of my knowledge came from the player created guides on the forum.
2) Why allow people of all levels to join the tutorial games ? I joined a few games and 70% of the time there were players at least above lvl 70 joining the games to 'troll' new players and repair their stats. I understand they are the only source of 2x speed maps but you can create some maps with a maximum level required to join similar to the minimum level feature.
3) Inactivity. Most of the people in my first 3 games were inactive. So when i joined a world at war i got a bitter taste of pvp in cow.
4) Cow 1.5 is the hottest thing in town, so why not put up a tutorial clearing the basics of cow 1.5. I still dont understand the mechanics and generally stick to 1.0.
5) AI. I captured 2 countries as morocco (algeria and lybia). In the case of Algeria I did not even attack him first. I dont understand how the ai works but Spain, Italy, Egypt and UK declared war at me and i have 7 embargoes. Please change the Ai setting because one player cant fight against 4 relatively dumb AI's especially if he is new.
6) Units. A average country starts with 62 units in the begining of a tutorial map but all other maps except the historical ones start with 10-20 units. Thus the tutorial feels more of a middle game battle from the start of the game. One can simply not learn about early game tactics from the tutorial games .
Feel free to Add / Criticize on my thread.
