    I realy enjoy watching you play war on the sea, and I would watch a replay in 2022. Mostly because war on the sea was rough when it first came out.

    Until War on the Sea gives us a less brain dead AI, I don’t see the game making a comeback. That’s what’s holding it back.

    I agree that *Grand Tactician: The Civil War* is amazingly ambitious, and Oliver Keppelmüller continues to make major improvements over time. The parts are finally starting to fall into place.

    @@jochenheiden As do I ;-) The game got so many details and levels in it, so hard to see all will be perfect. And it will take a bunch of patches before it's close to perfect I'm sure. Getting the AI to work good on all these levels is a monsterjob. Lets hope Oliver haven't bit off more than he can shew.

    @@ows6337 the patches have done absolutely nothing to change the totally scripted nature of the AI and it’s utter lack of ability to organize and maintain a formation in the tactical battle mode. It’s crap. I want to love this game more the AI is killing it for me. I steamroll it every campaign.

    Completely agree with your comments about GTCW economy gameplay. Tons of data listed in those Production and Trade tabs...but pretty quickly I stopped looking because there's nothing I could actually do with it; just wasn't "action-able" information. Likewise the Trade, Workforce, and Slaves map overlays. Still a great game, easily the most ambitious (mostly successfully) and detailed ACW game I've seen by far, and I really liked, say, UGCW, UGG, and the much older Take Command 2nd Manassas too.

    Considering War on the Sea is leading the poll on your next series, should we expect a new campaign? That would be great! War on the Sea and Grand Tactician are definitely in my top 5.

    If WotS greatly improved -the way air combat is resolved (better CAP, fighters shredding unescorted bombers immediately, allowing long range land bombing) -UI (setting formations is a NIGHTMARE, player should be able to issue one order to a supply convoy to sail to a port and unload and not have to notice when the convoy arrives and then “pixel click” until the “unload” command appears -how land combat is affected by developments at sea, and binning the horrid “each side loses a few troops every day for 8 months regardless of balance of forces” dynamic where it seems like nothing the player does can change the trajectory or speed of final resolution -how progress is measured, players access new resources, and victory is achieved (“you sank X value of enemy ships so you can deploy Y value of ships into your own fleet” is stupid) I’d buy it. Until then I’ll hope THG starts a new campaign.

    THG, did they fix War on the Sea for the "spamming aircraft" thing where you could literally kill all of your dive bombers and just immediately refill your base and launch another strike without any time or pilot penalties. They also had this thing where you could sell back destroyed airframes for full price to buy more which was terribly stupid. Also the carriers could not replenish at sea for whatever reason.

    The spamming aircraft was fix (in a way) where aircraft would only replenish once the next day begins. And I'm completely fine with aircraft carriers unable to replenish aircraft at sea.

    Odd that Ultimate General had a much more challenging AI. I don't know if was the set scripted battlefields and starting positions for the AI, but it was much better. The new game here has amazing immersion but the tactical failures of the AI ruin the game completely for me. Also the inability to fight naval battles is kind of stupid because the revolutionary nature of ironclads cannot be appreciated.
