Commander: The Great War

Just one more turn bro please on more turn. Bro look at that gap in Ukraine bro. Tsar Nikki has never seen so many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cavalry bro. Just one more turn, no don't look at the clock bro just trust. Trust the plan for Belgium bro, Germany literally can't keep up bro. Just one more turn. Is it 1AM? ♥♥♥♥ no bro don't go to sleep the Central Powers are almost broken bro, you can win. Achievements? Bro you think we doing achievements in this place? Nah uh. Just one more turn, cmon bro you got this. Look at Italy go bro, they're insane bro. This was my brain over the passed weekend getting back into this game. My how the hours flew by, always so addicting just to slam that Next Turn hourglass. There's always something going on if you play your cards right, at least one front has fortunes swinging one way or the other. Enough to keep me glued in. It's simple. It's easy. It's fun. It doesn't need to rely on massive, rampant alt-history in order to remain relevant. It's the First World War. You know what's going to happen [or maybe you don't]. You know what to expect. Yet the gameplay, for as simple as it is, opens up significant opportunities for differentiations from game-to-game. It's certainly got its mixed bag. The AI doesn't contest the sea. England dogpiles Egypt at the cost of all else. France dogpiles Italy at the cost of France. Germany never stops buying infantry. Certain behavior that can be very easy to exploit to your advantage that all but ensures a victory in 1916. Terrifies me of what playing another person could bring challenge-wise, but then again that's all the fun. Worth the price tag in my opinion, but this many years after its launch, if you want it on a sale you can just wishlistit and wait. "JUST LOCK THE ♥♥♥♥ IN DAWG, I SWEAR TO GOD." - quote attributed to Kaiser Wilhelm upon looking at any of his allies at any point in time.

The mechanics of this game are reasonable, but the AI was too incompetent to offer a meaningful challenge -- on my first play as the Allies, the Germans completely ignored the holes I poked in their lines, allowing me to push forward to Hamburg and Dresden in less than a year. It's not just that they were out of troops, either -- they kept sending reinforcements to the Serbian front despite the fact that their homeland was being invaded and the Serbs had no meaningful offensive capability. Meanwhile, the Turks had no idea how to defend their coastline against amphibious landings -- they actually moved their garrisons *out* of their cities (presumably in an effort to 'chase' or 'shadow' my troops), allowing me to walk right in. The Austrians formed a reasonable line against the Russians in Poland, but did nothing at all to help protect the Germans against a Russian breakthrough in Prussia. Adding insult to injury, the game now repeatedly crashes when I end the turn. I didn't enjoy the game enough to bother troubleshooting this, and it didn't cost enough money for me to bother with a refund, so I will just urge others to use caution in purchasing this product.

As a hex game it covers all the basics fun game play easy controls

One of the best WW1 turns and not , game every mad in history till now. This is not historical game, but it put yourself in very hard trench and massive infantry, arty, planes and at end tanks; fight that you ever played. You sould choose 4 scenarios on multyplayer and single. and if you play vs pro player on multy you could feel at all the concept of total war. Clearly, if you play vs pc , it make a lot of strategy error, but vs human you could fall in mabush or trap, or could do or go up under heavy hard offensive. Spam of some tipye of units that are really effective (more then history period), could give you some advantage or can break enemies; but remember vs good player if he understand that you do, defensive land, air and sea strategy in 14-18 win. Cunning, surprise or planning it's keys of victrory. Good game people.

I lati positivi sono che si apprende facilmente e che è localizzato in italiano, dopodiché le meccaniche sono molto superficiali con ben poca profondità strategica; inoltre l'intelligenza artificiale compie alcune scelte dubbie, come ammassare tutte le truppe dell'Intesa in nord Italia e sguarnire Parigi. Ha senso acquistarlo solo se molto scontato.

This is an excelent ww1 strategy game. It trully captures the feeling of ww1. What more, there is an excelent mod called "Potblitz" that further expands the game with more indepth mechanics for those trully in love with the game. The only negative of the game is the lack of a diplomatic system, there is no way to influence nations to your side and you can only declare war. This is something the Potblitz mod adds so I guess its not a big deal and the base game is still an excelent historical experience, its just limits ahistorical sandobx potential of the game. A very minor complaint is how big the buff area around friendly ports is, makes it a bit hard for the germans to fight in the english channel, but its just something you have plan around so its not that big of a deal.

It's a scam, don't buy it. After you've played around 3 hours, the game will crash on turn 12 (Central Powers) or turn 13 (Allies) every play through. No way to recover the saved files. You have to start over. You can't get a refund from Steam after 2 hours of play time. So you own a broken game with no support that will not run after a couple of hours of play. Stay away! Review Update: The Slitherine website had a kind and sympathetic soul who directed me through modifying the game.lua file so that the game would run. It is still frustrating that I had so many problems and the forum comments were from 2012, but ultimately - the game is fun to play.

Great game, fun too.

Giocabile, un po' troppo legato ad alcune dinamiche ma è giusto per chi vuole giocare una bella simulazione della Grande Guerra.

Pues el juego es injugable tanto en W11 como linux
