Gee, that's 1 hour a year including pause ? Does it mean we're going to spend 85 hours for each GC ? :D

Well, I had a lot on my hands (some dozens of divisions, fleets, budget, military campaigns, recruiting troops, some trading....). Keeps you quite busy. I am someone who (in SP) pauses often to check things and replot my decisions. :)

I pause all the time when I'm playing on the fastest game speed, but I read somewhere that it was wise to go with a slower speed. Is that true?
 
Well, I guess it's a matter of taste. On faster speeds, things go....faster... but you risk that things happen before you are able to react to them. In some cases you won't even notice them because lots of things happen at once.

As rafiki said, it's a matter of taste. I like going high speed and pausing often. However, my screen quickly fills up with message windows. ;) I'd probably get very similar results when playing at a slower pace, but then again, I originally come from turn based games. ;) Just my style of play.

Others would probably play slower and get the same results/flow. :)
 
Personally I get ride of most of the message popups, and play slowly while checking stuff my self. Like Sytass said it is a matter of taste, play how you wish, it is just a game after all.
 
Most thread views ever?

Does anyone else find it incredible how the thread commenting on Sytass's AAR has 25178 hits! IS this the most ever? It' ought to be some kind of record
 
Sorry to disappoint you, but you have quite a few other threads that are larger. For instance, Yogi's HOI-AAR "Where the Iron Crosses grow" has over 100K views.

But granted, 25K for Sytass ain't bad either :D

Sytass, since you've answered just about everyone's questions, I wonder if you missed mine near the end of the previous page? If it's under NDA or you meant to ignore it a one word answer would do so I'm not left hanging :)

Has the US ever managed to help out in WWI? And have any of the betas, playing as a major, lost WWI?

Great AAR BTW :)

I haven't myself played WW1 much, but I remember several betas faring horribly in WW1 as a major from time to time.

I have so far played through one WW1, unfortunately (this one), as patches sometimes leave an old game unplayable and because there were tweaks before and after on the scenario, so I cannot really say. :eek:o Didn't mean to ignore you, though. :)

Guess this should better go into the AAR thread, no? ;)

Oh, yes, there are some threads that have more views - mostly long going AARs, as rafiki pointed out. :)
 
Very nice AAR congrats.

I have a few questions though:

1 what kind of defence bounus is in for trench warfare, like if they sit in a prov for x amount of days it helps (or is that NDA)

How long is a trench battle, week?? few days?? (an avg one)

Is there a boycott mechanism that if your say the leading steel producer and you boycott say England, will there prices of steel go up?

Did they AI spam peace offers like in EUII (every month send 1 offer, the same one)
