Great game, but... – World War 1914 Review

I downloaded the game sometime around a year ago and I would do nothing but sit and play this game for several months on end and had recommended this game to everyone I knew and then some. I was absolutely in love with it and how in depth it’s mechanics were. I would never put the game down unless I had to. An update came later on that had increased the distance troops could travel within a month, thought it was a great idea and was pretty excited to be starting a new game finally. It was up until I realized that the update also effected how often you get battleships, and it made it nearly impossible to actually build and sustain the necessary navy size to actually launch naval attacks on other cities or other battleships. Land invasion is a guaranteed failure against many countries and cities without attacking from the sea or air first, and the navy is the first thing you get access to besides infantry. Now, trying to do anything is almost impossible. With only infantry, and a couple battleships that come maybe two or three times a year. Waging war cannot be done. There’s nothing left to support the infantry. War is costly. Waging war intelligently is even more costly. The game was fun and had great challenge, but now it’s almost as if it’s rigged against you by one simple change. This is my first and only review I have ever written for anything. I loved this game dearly until it had removed getting battleships from port cities every month. It made it so difficult to launch invasions because my infantry didn’t have any support, and then everything collapsed. That’s the long and short of it all. Overall... this is still probably the best mobile game on the market, and one of the best realistic strategy games I’ve ever played. A job well done to the developer. If the spawn rate of warships was ever fixed or returned to its previous state... I would absolutely play the game again. Without question. If not, then I still thank you. To the developer: you did an amazing job on the game and I thank you. I had a great time playing it.
