Call of War Turns 1!

Tomorrow, Call of War will turn one year old. This is a thread to discuss how far it has come, what we enjoy about it, and what will (hopefully!) be in store for us.

I joined on June 8th, a month and twenty-one days after Call of War started. I had been looking for a World War Two-based browser game for some time, and I had never even heard of S1914 or 30K at the time. I joined, took the tutorial, and began as Yugoslavia. This is the end of my second day there:

I would end up conquering Italy, Albania, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria, and Romania in 5 days. I was severely overextended, but I had fun.

I also joined two days before the 22-player map came out, and as soon as it came out, I was all over it! I had 4 games running at once, all 22-player maps, at one point. I remember the game I played with my friend, @of Jophan, where we were both killed off in about 40 days but I escaped to Egypt and earned 14 gold.

Then, Mediterranean Map came out– that was my favourite one– and then the Blitzkrieg– 1939 came out. I didn't like that one as much. But... on November 14th, 2015, the World Map came out! I was sick that day, so I was able to be the twelfth one to ever join a World Map match on Call of War. I joined as Caribbean but was defeated within 60 days (having taken Mexico, South USA, and the northern part of South America as an island nation, mind you.)

I took a break after Christmas but I am now back. Tell me your story, what you enjoy, and what you hope for!

:D

I was the Soviet Union in my first game, which was really more of a learning game than it was competitive. I was the Soviet Union in a 10-player game. Unfortunately, I hadn't realized how unfairly powerful the USSR was at that point, and I got bored and went AFK.
A country isn't inherently powerful. It's what you do with it that makes it powerful.
Well, it's just that I have a higher success rate with the Soviet Union.

This thread should be renamed the "First Game Nostalgia." Not that there's anything wrong with that......I still fondly remember my first match......a 22 player match as Yugoslavia, where Italy took me out after a failed alliance. But anyways, Happy Birthday CoW!

Keep up the good work.....this is an amazing game. :D

I took out my enemy russia, who I was actually working with before. It was my first backstab hehe ^^. And worked with my real ally Cacuasus. I had the choice of choosing who to ally myself with, because I was working with both, but decided to go with the one who seemed most humble and communicative. :) Near the end I asked him to join my alliance. :D

Whenever I get close to winning, I also just retire the match with an ally. Eventually, though, I gotta be ruthless......that's the goal for Cow's second birthday. ;)

We have not designed a single firearm, actually.

Yah, that often does suck when you trust someone and they blatantly backstab you.

I love this game. My friend from dance class got me into it after we had been looking for an online server to play with each other. I do it between school since I am home schooled, and love the maps. I love the Blitzkrieg map a lot, and am setting up a WWII RPG on the World Map. Can't wait for more...

It's the same with me.....I can't really remember how I found CoW.....I mighta simply typed "WWII Strategy Game." Any way it happened though, I'm glad it did.

Same here! :)

Hmm.. I think I was looking for "best online games" and found that in the list.
It's sure deserving of a rightful place on that list.......an excellent game, not to mention a great community :thumbsup:
