Any ideas for a challenge for cp. I have already done a game where I never put a German unit into Belgium but it was still too easy.(privileged difficulty

dont acquire new units or once russia is in war, declare war to all others (except norway and sweden, as it causes crashes), playing as central powers

first one is a bit challenging, second one is the real challenge 8) (ai can be still beaten even on privileged level, but its tough as hell)

the real challenge can prepare u for multiplayer maybe better than most of mp games, as its simulating ententes overproduction quite well

there is not great difference between difficulties

i havent play it for some time, i have to replicate it first, so far i got paris in 5th turn, 20th of august 8)

tyros improvement in german opening is nasty

finished in 20 turns, no problem at all, so it looks it was 1.64 known issue with convoys

Small Garrisons combined with long fronts are the reason for this.

yeah, its quite long, but there is no need to watch it, ai is not able to do anything suprising (be aware, its taking more and more time when playing continuously, when its taking like forever, its better to turn it off and on again)

not acquiring new units is more fun in 1914, because cp have not enough units to hold all fronts, but blitz in france can be faster than russian expansion

hm, then try restart before each turn end... i have new desktop, which is quite powerfull, on older one it was like 2 times longer, but still playable

if its possible try to switch it from power saving mode to performance (at least notebooks have it, dont know how about tablets/ipads)

badluck u cant use mods, robotron maybe could disband small garrisons for u, it would be even more challenging :lol:

i tought thats over, but taking brussels in opening german turn and possibility to take paris in 5th called for fresh speed run

it shorten whole campaign from 13 to just 11 turns (unintentionally hard push streight on paris opened chance to take verdun, which most likely saved 1 of these 2 turns, taking paris later in 6th turn was worthy "sacrifice" for it)

france down in 8th, britain and belgium in 9th, serbia in 10th, russia in 11th

turks were bit pissed off as they came too late
