WW1 Gold - new patch, PBEM mode introduced

[Tamas]

New official patch is out.

Various bug and scenario fixes, but there are 3 things which I would note:

-bug letting the German AI zerg ROTW areas fixed
-bug making the strictly-turn-based (ie. original boardgame rules) AI being passive fixed
-PBEM mode introduced. There were some people (even a 4 players group) testing this successfully during open beta, so it works. It is like the other AGEOD PBEMs a bit file-exchange heavy, but with TCP/IP still very prone to falling out of synch, this is the best MP way

I imagine this must be pretty cheap nowadays. Go and buy it. If you have it, patch it and try it again, in the strictly turn based mode (but for the love of God play it in the 2 players campaign, the boardgame was meant to be played that way, don't fuck around)

No thx, your opinion is pretty useless.

We are lucky we have you around on this forum then.

Still trying to polish this turd? Good for you.

You tried/bought the pre-gold version, right? That's what I am trying to tell you: there has been huge improvements since then. BTW there is patch for the demo as well (though yeah, you have to install then patch the demo).

I keep bringing this game up because I played enough with some people here to feel they would like it if they were to learn the rules and how it works. And no other game comes close to simulating WW1 this well. Yes, too bad it is doing it through an interface which needs some serious getting-used-to, but still.

Is this the game where they tilted the map at first?

Yes, but retreated from it in the Gold edition. Made it brighter, too.

I could barely get the damned game to work.  It was optimized for an operating system that had been discontinued years ago.

I am heavily into WW1 at the moment, yet I hesitate to get this.

Do not. I am not hiding that it has a steep learning curve. But it is a great simulation behind the cluncky interface with a decent AI.

Just make sure you get the latest patch from the ageod forums.

Strategic Command WW1 is an alternative and it is a nice game, but it is actually slower, with a lot less simulation value.

I would actually like it, if not for terrible AI.

I bought it. I'm rich enough that I can be crazy like that.

OK the map scrolling and mouse cursor are slow as fuck. What's up?
