Great game with great potential – World War 1914 Review

I’ve been playing this game for about 3 years and I love the concept. Playing as nations and taking over the world and whatever has always been my thing. I would definitely recommend this to people who enjoy games like hoi4, civ6, eu4, or just people that want a more casual version of those games. However, I do have a few issues with the game that I want to address. Events that occur in the game such as the end of WWI, Russian Revolution, fall of the Ottoman Empire and others are cool additions to the gameplay but they can be extremely frustrating as they can return territory to nations you have already conquered. This makes nations like Russia and Turkey nearly unplayable. The movement system in this game is also very annoying. Infantry and tanks can only move once outside of a city before they run out of “supply”. There is no way to move them past this point and it makes territory outside of this range unreachable. This makes playing in places like South America an absolute nightmare as it forces you to either use transport units and suffer heavy casualties, or wait until you can afford planes. Combined with the events that take your territory away as well this can leave units stranded and I’ve had times where I’ve lost millions of troops due to this. Upgrading your military technology as well is extremely tedious. The best method for doing this forces you to shut down all military production and spam next month until you have the ridiculous sum of money needed to finally upgrade. This can take hours depending on the technology you want. There are some other difficulties I could bring up but these are by far the ones I feel most passionate about. This game is very fun but these problems hold it back no doubt. I would love to see these issues get resolved but the game is still very solid and I would definitely recommend.
