Commander:The Great War AAR!

[Nefaro]

For my first playthrough I am going to put it on the easiest AI, just to ease into this.

LOL!

Isn't it the most difficult level, right now, due to a bug?  I wanna hear how that turns out!  :P

[Gusington]

Up above they're saying there is no bug!

[Nefaro]

Ah.  Well, carry on then.  ;D

I am making slow headway on the western front grind.  So I'm not totally gettin' skewered on the regular difficulty level.  I just gotta think my moves & attacks through a bit more, it seems, before committing.  Especially since I'm accidentally moving on occasion (and there's no Undo command).

One thing I'd really like to see is the percentage of the original Manpower rating I currently have left, displayed after the MP rating in the Management tab's window for each nation.  Just a percentage in parentheses after the current total is all.  ;)

[Gusington]

That stat would be pretty damned grim after a while I think.

Balanced and Privileged AI aren't bugged.  Its the Handicapped (easiest) AI that may have a bug that makes it harder than Balanced...

[Nefaro]

Well.. I keep worrying about how close I am to dropping below the dreaded 70% level where your newly recruited units start with lower efficiency.

There's no displayed percentage that I see.. and I didn't write down the initial levels to do the calculations, myself!   :o  Must just be an oversight or on the To Do list for post-release updates.

I asked for this awhile back during the beta period, but it must have not been a priority. Hopefully the Lordz will add it in at some point in a patch. I feel it would be very useful to the player.

Something just struck me and I wonder if I was the only one

With Florence Green dying this year there are no living Veterans of WWI.  This is the first year that Armistice Day has no survivors.

Thanks for the reminder.  God bless all those men and women who fought, died and lived through the war.

Indeed.  It's great to see all these new WW1 games out.  Along those same lines, if you ever get to visit this place I would highly recommend

Nefaro, look under "Management", then check out the "Finances Overview". The manpower numbers you want are on the left  :)

[Gusington]

I think about the fact that there may be no WWI vets left anywhere and then I think there have to be at least a few undocumented ones who were mere boys back then left somewhere. In a few years though, every last one, documented or not, will be gone, and WWI will be for my children what the Civil War is to me.

Does that make any sense?

I keep getting big, "DOAH!" moments when getting the mouse button controls mixed up and accidentally clicking & moving a unit into some random hex.  :o

I just recently switched the option on for the 2-Button thing, that's a bit more traditional (L-click to select, R-click to move/attack/whatevah).  So now I just gotta unlearn the default 1-button thing so I stop thinking it's still that way. 

I can see that the AI will definitely take advantage of your bad decisions.  Woe is my British mideast force right now.  :-[

I find myself accidentally clicking sometimes and the AI jumps all over that.  My mideast force is in bad shape now as well, I am fairly certain I will lose Egypt in a few turns.

Are you 100% positive that the "Economic Output" percentage is equal to the ManPower percentage? If so, that's great!

But I've yet to see this confirmed by the Lordz(or anyone else).

[Steelgrave]

^No, that was my assumption. Now you have me wondering.
