War in Europe 9+

The fact that you have no clue what the other countries are going to do and you have no clue if you will attack a province first or if they will has literally ruined every alliance I have had in this game. My allies will not use artillery and not attack for turn after turn and then as soon as I invade, my ally decides to attack.

I know in one of the responses the developer made in another review that was intentional, but the thing is the AI never accidentally attacks an ally, so even if it is intentional, it’s at least flawed.

In one scenario, I was playing as Germany in WW2 and my only ally is Italy, but I’m in a pact with the soviets. As the game progresses both the soviets and I invade the same Balkan region, so there goes that pact. Then the Swedes and the Spanish join the allies, and guess what Italy and I both invade a French region, so no more allies for me. It happens every game so it ends up being me vs everyone everytime.

Hi Paeon me, Thank for your review. In War in Europe alliances do not change. Once you are in an alliance that is it, it never changes. If you happen to attack the same land that your ally has just taken, then you may lose some troops but your both still allies. Pacts are different they can be broken at any time, In the WW2 scenario Italy and Germany are locked in an alliance that never changes. France and Britain are locked in an alliance. Spain, Sweden, and Turkey are neutral at the start of the game and will join one of the alliances at some stage and when they do they are stuck in that alliance. I think your report of events are an inaccurate account of what happened. I also don't understand why I would intentionally make your ally attack you? I suggest you read the rules and try playing the game again and see exactly what happens the turn after you have a clash with an ally. It's not the end of the game, it has happened to us all, good luck. John

Hi I enjoyed your game while I first thought it boring because you’re stuck in Europe. This game grabbed my attention as it is the ONLY GAME THAT HAS THE ABLITY TO FORM ALLIANCES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME AND FORM THREE OR MORE! Which makes up for the annoying repeat events because it creates new ideas! Using custom game I have built games starting with alliances and have neutrals that can join in (America in Spain is my favorite one). When you create the Pacific map please keep this concept! Oh and include Indonesia 🇮🇩 the island country because while it didn’t exist until after WW2 at least. Having a middle island based country balancing japan 🇯🇵 China 🇨🇳 and Australia 🇦🇺s aggression out means less of a frenzy and more diplomacy in the pacific. When you create the WW2 game you will need to include Africa and North America at least and knowing your style you will make South America so reuse your Europe and pacific Maps and build off of them. It will save time and ultimately the Europe was very well done so keep it! I understand buying the custom mode but when you make WW2 or pacific please have free for all allowed off the bat or at least more wars that allow alliances and neutrals to join to a side! Also sense you have 12 in Europe and 5 (counting America) for sure in pacific please keep all the sides it would be awesome to see 5 vs 5 vs 5 or something like that in WW2 being possible by sides joining. Thank you for your hard work!

Hi, and thanks for your great review. I have decided to create an entire new game called 'Colonies at War' which will expand on WIE and have the entire world to play in. Please visit my website/in development, and you can read more about it. I do hope you will like CAW as much as WIE when it is out (mid to late 2021). JohnG

This game is a lot like axis and Allies I bought axis and Allies on my steam account and I played it and the game is OK you see axis and Allies you have to conquer the entire map to win the game or better yet you have to just conquer all the cities in Europe which isn’t very realistic but when I played it war in Europe I learned that when you conquer most of the map it automatically tells you how many casualties there how long the war was even though this game does not have the best graphics the gameplay is amazing trying to figure out how many soldiers do you need to send to fight off a heavily fortified base or using very few troops to take over a week base I think this is perfect for any strategic game because in risk and axis and allies there is no bass you just have to have more troops and then you win the game you have to be strategic about how to use for example tanks are good because I can take down a lot of men without being severely damaged until artillery shows up then they can be severely damage another thing about the artillery is instead of in like axis and allies as were you if you use artillery it automatically get destroyed. In this game though you can use artillery over and over again without being destroyed and it takes down forts. This game is really fun and it deserves more attention. Thanks for reading this.

Hi rain ho guy, Thanks for you great review! Its nice to know that there are like-minded people out there. I made this game because there was nothing on the smart phones that tactically interested me. So I decided to make my own game. Thanks again for the positive review. JohnG
