I don't know, this is another Napoleonic game which only lets Britain win if it conquers Western Europe. 

I guess Britain lost the Napoleonic Wars historically?

Didn't Britain essentially do this?  They drove the French out of Spain and Portugal and France was under their occupation at the conclusion of the wars.

I pre-ordered it too.........12 quid or something.

Of course it won't download now and even the paradox forums appear to have fallen over  :hmm:     :D

soon there will be a new patch for WW1 Gold with a big performance improvement, bug fixings, and improved battle AI. I will let you know, because I am not a hater.

The Brit AI is too fixated on Hannover. You can kill 60k+ in 1805 easily by wiping out its invasion. 2 corps plus Murat's cavalry does the job.

Other AI stuff: Austria goes after the ottomans. When I declare war, nobody is near the Austrian border. Or the Italian one.

Prussia got raped. By russia and the uk.

Still, I was amused turning Davout's corps into a super corps and smashing people to bits with it.  DAVOUT SMASH!

Oh dear, I'm reviewing it.

It's cute that the folks at the P'dox forum seek historical accuracy in the game.

Yeah that's what a perusal of p'dox forums suggests.

It is a pretty slim offering, not much on the economic or trade side.........so just the military stuff. Which I think could be fun if a MP game was set up and beer was available.

Unlike EU or CK that looks like its actually possible to finish an MP game.
