I have to admit I was pretty excited for this game. S1914 needed a facelift and this is it. But it's plagued by the same problems:
- Pay to win is everywhere and just as limitless as S1914. I've already encountered a serial spammer in my 2nd game. Instantly researched and created battleships, instantly created fortifications in provinces that I'm currently bombing and meanwhile some of my own buildings are mysteriously blowing up. Ok fine, the game needs to make some money but is it too hard to ask bytro to at least remove the sabotage gold spam? Let the wallet warriors make their giant armies but at least let me keep the stuff I've worked hard on developing. I mean one minute I got a Level 2 naval base making submarines, the next I have just a pile of rubble? What's up with that?
- Micromanagement is just as bad if not worse. Submarines apparently fail to attack enemy units they cross unless given an explicit attack order. Bombardment units still require copious amounts of babysitting for them to behave properly (i.e. they aren't smart enough to determine when a unit gets in range in time). Presumably high command could fix at least some of this but obviously I'd be hesitant to spend the required ~$5/month when a guy spending more can beat me (see previous point above).
Mostly I'm just venting but yeah, the luster has seriously worn off.
I have never met anyone use gold to win, I don't use them myself.
The micromanagement is a feature in most RTS games, especially in some RTS games where someone micromanaging can potentionaly wreck someone macro, more control but compare this game to 30k, 30k is for you if you don't want micro and more macro and I tell you it's a great game.
Hey, if played s1914 before you don't have a problem here.
Yep, you can't blame them for micromanaging when that's pretty much the premise of gameplay for this style of game. In a game of 2 gold titans, one who didn't spend a dime won in the end, mostly because the goldies had a time frame of about 4 hours a day, so they were done in good, so I can't really agree with your first point either. You can't say a game is bad because it requires you to put dedication into it
i didn't say a game is bad when it needed dedication.
but what i do know is that a game does not require dedication, but it demanded absolute dedication and that's the way i like it.
its better not to play when your not intending to finish it, i join games but sometimes if in busy or tired i stop, this is kinda a fast game with all the tank maniacs.
I was talking to the OP, V1n, sorry I didn't make that apparent
Well, bottom line is either you play free or pay if you don't put dedication your better off not playing. Instead of complaining about how "dedicated" we are.
I suggest for those having a bad time playing because of real-life obligations to play 30k atleast there your not pressured to log in every hour.
Regulus right you are!!!
To much pay to win effekt, the game have. I love the game, i play 4 round, and easily win all without gold. But! too much inaktive players are here. If i want to play with a clan, where all player aktiv in the map..... i should pay, or lose.
Nowadays all free to play game have a huge profit, because have advertisment, or you can buy skins.
I have no idea what your saying...
If you need actives you can find some here, the only benefit gold can give is just pocket change of res and nifty macro features.
Hi Regulus,
Good to see you here as well.
Personally, I like this game better then 1914 - thats why I am not found anymore over there. Started up the PL here as well, so why not give that a shot?
