Germany is fucked. I had hoped they would run through France, but France has been on a war footing for nearly 3 years while Germany has not. Plus Germany never got Austria because I wiped out Austria before the Anschluss event could fire. So we got France snailing their way into the southern half of Germany while I causally crawl my way towards Berlin.
Yeah, very disappointing.
>>2320197
No. I cant be fucked. Just imagine the world map getting painted pink other than France and all the starting puppets.
>>
>>2320642
Okay so Germany crumpled like wet toilet paper under the mighty onslaught of my armies. I have every worthwhile strategic bonus available.
Bit fucking annoying though the way puppets suddenly pop back into existence once their original masters are fully annexed. Like Manchuria. It messes up the global color scheme.
So now its only me, France, and Russia ( and the unavoidable puppets ) But its still only late 1939 and the civilian nuclear technology is being held back by the ahead of time malus. Still a long way off producing nukes.
>Just invade Russia for fuck's sake
No, I want to nuke them, then just taking Leningrad should be enough to force a surrender. Ezy pezy, no hassle, no fuss, no grinding out the last advances towards distant victory points.

it's also borked for Theurgist while I'm bringing that up
it works normally for children coming of age, manual ordination, or recommending a pupil to a vassal, but apparently landed rulers just pop a fucker out of thin air and they will not have relevant ordination traits. So no Independent Hunter realm of Sorcerers in Britain without getting very tedious and hands-on with immortality potions.

To this day I'm baffled why they decided it was a good idea to remove a head from the genie. But given responses above I'm sure there WILL be a contrarian claiming how genius this design is.
>>
>>2310402
Yes, I thought the same. I can't think of a reason they just couldn't go with a design more like homm3 or from posterior games that had hot genie chicks. I guess they just went ahead with the most whimsical concept art they had, same reason the djinns had those big ass hands

I can picture devs trying to go for "mage's bodyguard" look with this design, but even then it's overstylized. At least Homm7, while not having the best reputation among fans, brought back sexy genies (although the design itself was made for Homm6 before the mages town was cut from that game, Homm7 just reused it).

Short of Black Sea or Blue on Blue Shock Force it's probably the most intense one. Maybe it's more than those because of Soviet doctrine.

New turn, not much on this push, he has infantry in the buildings and hedges, need to clear M113s on the right before I can push as even .50cal can penetrate BMP1s from the side.

To the right it's going well, his units in the houses are completely suppressed, he attempted to push in more but they got gunned down.

More BMPs coming in from the left since he only focused the right flank. There are also 9 BMPs loaded with troops read to push the left flank towards his spawn covered by 4 T-64B1s, however this was unnecessary because...

...as soon as I hit end replay it turns out he surrendered.

Looking at the full map, he had a handful of M113s left, enough infantry to fill half those M113s, and 1 tank (plus some assorted secondary stuff). Dragging it out another 30 minutes would have been pointless.

I've played around 80 hours ln 2 with first dlc. I enjoy it's not classic RTS with mircro and macro, more like playing a chess with goal of winning a game with least moves. Spiral dlc changes dynamic a lot turning from larping as resistance to full open war as long you keep unlocking spire cities. AI is pretty fun with vanguard ad manruder fleets. I just hate whole aspect of tower defense.
