Started 1939 campaign on hard and the first 5 to 30 seconds there was a lot of excitement, i got used to the interface, i saw that the left click / left click move is different now and you need to left click and right click to move / attack. Not a big issue but it would be nice to put an alternative option in the menu for that.
I was expecting two scenarios in poland and i got one but in the end the norway was reallyy nice. I tried not to loose one unit so the game is pretty hard on hard and actually on low countries is much harder than i expected.
What i can say is that the AI is great! It is so great that on hard i think this is the first turn based strategy that managed to reallyyy realllyy put my brain to work for different attacks and reloads and start overs.
After playing a lot of panzer general i will try to comment comparing PG to the PC phoenix rebirth
What i like and it is different from PG:
- you can move one hexagon the artillery / anti-air and fire after
- you can reallyy attack cities with anti-air near them and not be afraid that you are going to loose the entire bomber / fighter
- the reduce impact of artillery support (you can no longer kill an infantry with 2 or 3 well placed artillery units)
- the zoom in / zoom out but it would be nice to have 3 levels of zoom (one level between the two that already exist)
- the fact that when you upgrade a unit and it is a radical change of chasis or plane structure you get to pay the entire value as a new buy (example in Norway i tried to upgrade the BF110C to a Stuka and it was the same price as a new stuka buy!)
What problems im having
: - on hard the low countries is a realyyy hard scenario:
-> Overpowered forts or is it just me? Great range at spotting units (4?) great anti air if attacked and virtuallyy very hard to kill using only infantry.
- when i have a 8/10 tank and i attack a 1/10 infantry i should be able to kill it but i must admit the same happened viceversa
The computer attacked my 1/10 infantry with a 8 or 9 / 10 tank and he didnt killed me!- the problem with the undo movement of a recon and more on that... if i move a unit by mistake and after i select another i cannot turn back and undo movement on the first unit.
- in forest at least the infantry should be able to move one space
- the prediction before battles is a bit strange i was "raped" many times with great predictions, also with positive prediction i get a reallyy bad real situation i try to save / load and i dont get different outcames , i get the same end every time! (we speak here about 2-3 consecutive attacks with the same outcome every attack!)
- more info on last battle would be nice... is there the rugged defence still on?
- Level bombing on strategic cities still looses prestige?
- The sound of pionere infantry attack is very similar to a tank attack?
For now that is all! I will restart the 1939 campaign on normal! I will come back here if i remember or i find some new info ... so far so good keep up i love the game and it is addictive;-)
p.s.: Sorry for my english
l8edit:
No crashes so far the game is stable on my E8400 with gtx 280 and 4 gb of ram
-I remembered the fact that in campaign from one scenario to another the troops dont get full strengh but they travel with the strengh that they had at the end of the scenario. That is okay, what is not okay is that when i upgrade infantry or artillery i have to buy the transport again... lets say that for artillery that is okay buy for infantry im guessing they use the same truck regarding the type of infantry.
-I agree with Alex2001 on his feedback also
