    • S1914 Features Imported to CoW

      I originally took an interest in S1914 (as well as 30K) just to gain insight into the questions (and often faulty answers) I was seeing in the CoW Chats when I was a Mod. But, I have to say, there are features of S1914 that I've come to really appreciate and enjoy. I'm referring primarily to those that don't impact gameplay but, rather, impact the sense of community, competition, and personal achievement of playing the game.

      For those who don't know S1914, I'll post a couple screenshots (whose links to gyazo should be good for about a month).

      1. Achievements - Are visible to other players. When a player achieves certain achievements (usually by building and defeating a certain number of a particular unit type) one gets a badge.

      2. Medals - Are visible to other players. When a player takes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. place in a given scenario (map) they are awarded a medal.

      3. Coalitions - S1914 Coalitions are a recent addition to the game. They function much like game specific Alliance Groups or Teams in that each member of an in-game Coalition has a Coalition flag next to their country flag, a Coalition chat, auto Share Map, and every country of the coalition has the same territory colour in the newspaper map.

      This makes it readily apparent, to all the other players, who is in who's Coalition and, therefore, working together. In many ways, it's like a CoW Team Game but memberships in the various "teams" can change throughout the game.

      In the following Map View pic you can see Japan (green), Philippines (brownish red), and French Indochina (blue) are different countries.

      But, in the newspaper, it can be clearly seen they are members of the same Coalition as all three appear as green.

      While there are other S1914 features, of various sorts, that would be nice to have in CoW the above three are, imo, those which players might most enjoy having in CoW.

      It's good idea for COW.

      It's good idea. The medals should be based on the medals from the Second World War.

      It is possible that this idea should be added to the Call of War.

    • The entire profile system from S1914 needs to be ported over. I started playing S1914 when I was 13, and 6 years on, I'm still amazed by how clean and easy to read the layout is.

      I also, and I believe was mentioned a few months ago, would like to see city view: its one of the most iconic features of S1914, and I believe it was present in 30Kingdoms

      30Kingdoms need any features imported of S1914.

    • Excellent suggestions, Currently I couldnt possibly care less about the 'achievements' part of my profile, its far too general (no decimals regarding kill ratios for instance).

      Loved the medal and ribbon part of 1914 - and proud I never got the infamous purple heart badge:)

      It's good idea.

      I love this idea!

      Cool! That sounds great; It'll draw a lot more interest towards team games.

      Correct, the flag should have only several options. For example, the flag of Spain could be changed to the Rojigualda.

      No, I think you could have any flag, but if someone puts an offensive flag, he should be banned permanently.
      The past is a foreign country.

      As in the S1914, correct?

      Good idea.

      Correct.
