I think Call of War should have a new game mode: 1v1, on new 1v1 maps.
This way Call of War can become a new kind of Wargame Red Dragon.
The game mechanics and pace of Call of War are superb, and in many ways superior. But the team aspect means more often than not whether a game is won or lost comes down to whether the team you are in is good and active or not.
Sure, Call of War might have been intended to be played in alliances or with friends, but a 1v1 option will add a new dimension to the game and make it a kind of modern day chess, which Eugen's Wargame is, complete with ELO ratings and equivalent military rankings.
One of the fun things about Wargame is that noobs are ranked as Private, and top players are ranked as General, based on ELO ratings. So, over time, your rating and rank might rise or fall depending on how well you play. Just as there are Grandmasters and International Masters in chess, there might be Generals and Brigadiers in this war game.
Also, ideally, I think the maps for 1v1 should be especially made and not necessarily based on the map of the world, or even on the map of a region of the world. Thus, the terrain can be fair for 1v1, and refreshed now and again.
The idea is to have a modern chess game that is an online war game.
