Try this in multiplayer however and you'll see French battleships pound your two value 6 coastal cities and any garrison inside, and possibly Entente landings too. I like all the ideas for making the naval war aspect more interesting and historical, but naval power is actually quite useful as is. I...

im mostly sad to hear that they do this but fix the rest of naval war later. the fact of the matter is that naval warfare is broken and therefor ppl disband their navy in multiplayer, it is a neccesity not an exploit. if naval warfare was a valid option for the CP (and as a consequense would also f...

Difficulty levels can be enhanced and detracted from by selectable conditions at game start... Examples are: FoW on/off Random research on/off Random weather on/off Events on/off There are many ways that can be implimented to make the game more difficult/easy and that can certainly help players enjo...

I can confirm that we are introducing a morale penalty for disbanding ships in the first patch. More attention o the naval aspect will have to come later. im sad to hear that :S Why? It is clearly shown in this thread that it is an exploit. It is something the AI cannot counter, it is something tha...

Agreed... This will make my time-per-turn skyrocket, but it would be a great change!

+1

I understand the OP's proposal, and agree in theory that BB's need more usefulness to counter their heavy upkeep, cost, and ammo but I do not believe allowing them to add power to adjacent ground units works... Reason is that our hexes are much too large for this to be simulated correctly. For examp...

Very useful and I like how they are implimented in CTGW... Much better than jusy 'buying them; like in CEAW. One thing that bothers me is - once the leader is in the build queue, it is impossible to look at the leaders traits (unless selected and you hover over an eligible unit) but still you are un...

As a new player i find research to be the most complicated part of the game. Labs, focus, columns, fields, upkeep, buying, selling and all this for 4 or 5 different nations. Its somewhat difficult to tell whats good strategy in this area and what isn't. Yup it takes some strategy and a bit of manag...

Yup, shut 'em down! I have found that playing as Entente especially, specializing your research is very helpful... I usually have UK research Air, Arty, and veh. while France, Italy, and Russia are inf and arty specialists. Once you have researched everything you need/want for that group, sell off a...

Ditto the OP... I also enjoy this game and the fact that I play so much is the reason I find faults or devise improvements... Great game!

First, I am not trying to be a troll, but since you invite thoughts on the subject: 1. The AI is damn good, and you simply got out-teched and out produced by the AI. Happens a lot. With the difficulty levels being bugged from the release, this type of feeling that the AI is too strong comes out a lo...

Effect: Russia cannot research or produce aircraft. MAjor handicap, but fun to try these kinds of self-made restrictions. That probably works to your advantage. I never build an airplane with the russians nor any airlabs. I cant afford it. Might be bad in MP, but in SP what do you need them for? Be...

If it's random why would it have to be 1916/17? Let the dice fall where they may... Well then it wouldn't be totally random in that case... The point is really that it would be nice to have, but any way to impliment the change would make some of us happy and others of us left wanting a return to th...

I suppose what you could possibly do is just make the 1916/17 winter the maximum length possible in every game but still randomise its start date. That sounds pretty reasonable... Hinges on maintaining historical accuracy with weather patterns in the 16/17 winter (where it was most notable) yet add...

Agreed... I also enjoy 'houseruling' on stuff, but usually once I am competent with the game... I like your suggestions, but I am still not able to even come close to beating the AI on balanced if I don't scrap fleets! I can avoid scrapping most full strength ground units, and I avoid attacking neut...

Agreed with OP... At least making the winter season length a little random will keep it interesting. I am on the fence about randomising the severity of winter effects, that might be just too much randomness to appease this group of grognards :lol: One suggestion that I make in regards to many 'impr...

We do want to extend the diplomactic system, but in a way that doesn't force the player to put too much time in it if they don't want to. Good plan... There are a lot of things like that, where a lot of people would not enjoy a more detailed, time consuming mechanic to handle something such as dipl...

Lol yup, been there! A pop up does request confirmation prior to surrender.

Good game! I am finally on the road to a victory as the Central powers I think, we will see! As Kevini says above, the AI is a little too easy :shock: What? I mean perhaps if we search for little things like this German convoy 'bug' and exploit those it might be too easy but dayum I get my tail kick...

Yup... I'm currently playing MP against my older brother who has been handily defeating me at wargames for the better part of three decades so I am not sure I will learn much!
