Quote*Real time crap, playing WW2 in "real time" is a flawed concept unless you have the ability to delegate to an competent AI, which paradox can't do

Totally. If only there were a pause function.

I'm warming to the interface.  It took me a while to figure some things out but managing and delegating starts becoming more intuitive as you go.

My screen went all psychedelic on me, as I was playing yesterday, after about 40 minutes. Looks like graphics are causing my card to overheat :Embarrass:

The interface doesn't seem that bad to me.  Not great, by any means, but not actually bad either.  The problem is that there is simply a lot going on.  It doesn't help that the demo start out with the beginning of the war, and only lets you play GB, France, Germany, or Poland.  It would be easier to sort out what's going on if you could play a small, relatively safe neutral till you got a chance to figure things out.

Nobody has really been able to demonstrate to me that navies are cool in the game.  I am undecided.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

heh. Also, the aerial attacks was amusing. I guess the German forces in Poland didn't need air support. Because they was hammering me.

Reading the stuff here and over at Paradox (like basically not only naval, but amphib stuff [invasions] neglected again), my mood went from "buy it on Friday" through "pirate it Friday, buy the Gold version a year from now" to "meh why bother"

Needless to say, the major hungarian gaming forum I lurk on has the predictable topics, but actually much much less than I expected:

-omg province names sucks
-omg Greater Hungary can't be redone properly with these province borders
-here you go guys, here is the swastika for the Germans

Myself, I have money rifing on War in the East, hoping it gets anywhere near as good as WitP.

And maybe, in 15, 20 years, we get WitE/WitP based games for the whole of WW2, global.  :menace:

This Demo AAR / Tutorial actually looks promising, in terms of explaining how to automate theaters etc.:  http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=416326

I'd actually be very satisfied for a few years with a WitP set in the Atlantic  :cool:
