Further into the game

[Yavor]

Hello there,
After more than 50 hours into the game, several finished games (random scenarios victories), deeper into the campaign, and after getting my butt kicked on Normal difficulty a couple of times, all I can say is - Wow, what an amazing game! I absolutely love the fact that it is simplistic in concepts, UI, and as a learning curve, but it is immensely deeper, once you try to get the full grip of it. Amazing job, Triumph! Love how the diplomacy has deepened into a new charming mini-game of insults, sector claims, resons for war, and an occasional a** kissing . The game gets better and better the further you get into it, and the further you learn all the units' strengths and style of play. I am so proud I've preordered the full experience of Planetfall and I am anxious to see what the future DLCs have in store for us! Until then I have my hands full with the current content (of which there is still a lot to learn).
We love you Triumph! Keep making great stuff!

Kind Regards!

I never claimed that I am an advanced 4x player, cuz I have little time to play (currently only on my 50th hour on this one), however I have my personal little traditions with AOW 3 and I plan to transfer them into PF. Traditions like start slow, enjoy every battle, even the smallest ones (avoid autoresolve), and when I truly grasp the bits of the game, push yourself to the limit. For now Normal seems the best option for me, and I haven't even tried hard. There are lots of new stuff to explore, new mechanics to learn and general getting used to the new game, so I prefer starting small and focus on learning, than push into the extremes too soon. However I respect players that start on the hardest difficulty settings and aim for a valiant defeat, that takes guts, and I appreciate this! I wish all of you to have as good time with the game as I am having! Hope to see you on the planetary battlefield soon!
