Hey.I'm new to this whole forum thing, but I thought I would give it a shot.I bought the game the other day (in memory of the 100th anniversary of WWI) on my steam account, and I've been struggling with it. I've gone to the Steam forum, but I guess some people are having the same problem I am.The problem I'm having (and apparently some others) is that the AI are too overpowered. No matter what difficulty I play on (even handicapped), they trample over me.When I attack Serbia, they repel my attack and by the end of 1914, they've conquered Budapest. When I attack Belgium and France, I can't even reach Antwerp. Even when I set production to infantry to get ready for the Eastern Front, the Russians (and the dozen units) annihilate my three German units. The Ottomans are completely useless.
As soon as they join me, Russia and Great Britain destroy every unit I have. By the beginning of 1915, my armies have collapsed and I'm dying on all fronts. I just don't know what to do.I've read the manual, watched online tutorials, and ensured I was playing on the easy difficulty (handicapped), but I keep getting my butt kicked. Most of the tutorials I've watch were posted a year ago, and the game seemed much easier. I'm not sure if it was just because it was an older version, but the AI seemed a lot less.
Over daunting. They steamrolled through Belgium and France, and by 1915, Russia was repelled back into Russia.I'm a huge WWI fan and have been waiting all year for the 100th anniversary, so I wanted this game to be special. However, having my butt handed to me over and over (6 times to be precise) despite all my research and tactics is really bumming me out. If someone could help me (by either giving me tips or a patch/mod that lowers the AI's power), that would be much appreciated. I want to 'celebrate' the beginning of WWI by playing as the glory and might of the European empires, not sit here and watch myself die repeatedly. Someone please help. Don't worry, it isn't just you - the game AI is definitely a challenge.
Commander The Great War Manual
I consider myself a very experienced long-time wargamer (I was playing Avalon Hill boardgames back in the '60s) and I still got my butt kicked the first several times I tried starting the game.So first thing is don't expect a walk in the park the first time just because you pick easy settings. Do try to learn something from each defeat though and try again. I suggest alternating back and forth between the two sides and rather than just worrying about your own moves, try to pay better attention to how the AI is playing so that next round you can try to emulate it - or better yet, understand why it plays the way it does.Some say learning the game by starting in 1914 is easier because you don't have to handle as much in the early turns - you start out with just Serbia, then add France, and then Britain and Russia. I'm not so sure that's right though - although your unit count may be lower at the start of the 1914 campaign, every single thing you do with those units has a greatly magnified importance. The situation is still fluid.
The trench lines aren't established yet so you don't start from a stalemate position and even small mistakes can doom you.Some specific tips on starting in 1914:1) Whichever side you're starting with, say Serbia, look at where you can make a continuous front. If you don't have enough units to fill the entire line then you're going to be in big trouble fast. Either re-evaluate where you can fall back to shorten your lines, or realize you're going to need more units to plug those holes fast. The first turn or two after mobilization, most countries are going to need to spend everything on garrison units just so they won't have holes in their lines.2) Bends in the line, or bumps in or out - the AI will want to attack at points along your line where it can bring 3 or 4 attackers to bear on a single defender. Avoid bumps that allow 4 attackers and minimize bends where you have a unit exposed to 3 attackers.
Put your stronger infantry units in those vulnerable spots if you have them. Use garrison units first in bends where they only face 1 attacker, or along straight lines where they face two if you must.3) Try to back your line with reserves spaced along it. When you get attacked, look at the result - if the damaged unit has a white 7 or 8 strength, the best thing is probably to apply replacements (2) in place. If it is a yellow 7 or 8, or 6 or below, you want to get that unit out of the line.

If there is a full strength reserve directly backing it, just swap the units - then apply replacements (only 1, since you moved). If there isn't a suitable reserve directly behind the damaged unit, look down your line - see if you can shift the damaged unit out, then shift a whole section of line down one space, all the way back up to where you can pull a reserve unit into the line. Watch the AI do these things.4) See the AI always use its fighter units to attack one of your units before a ground attack, even though it looks like it does no damage?
Try it yourself on an attack. DIsappointed that it did no damage and not going to bother doing that any more?
Check a defender's unit card before and after your next fighter attack - hey, it lowered the defender's efficiency by 1. So always use your fighters first on your most important attacks in a turn.5) Order of attacking units is important.
Use this order: Fighters, airships, artillery, bombers, infantry, garrison. Download pubg pc ram 2gb. This will maximize your damage done and minimize your casualties.Hey, if I keep going, I should probably just cut and paste this and start a guide.;). Hello @Tarrotin, i had the same problem playing Entente faction, that my units performed suboptimal unitl i discovered that i was fighting level 3/4 infantry on the central power side. You have to upgrade your units when you research new technology. The organisation/efficiency of the unit is important too, do not attack with units that have. Thanks everyone for your input (esp. I will definitely try to apply everything you guys said when I play.
I am rather an inexperienced gammer, so I'm relatively bad at games. I appreciate the understanding and assistance that several of you offered. A lot of the tips you guys (or girls) gave may have seemed obvious, but I never really thought of many of them. Thanks again.' SlitherineIain' - I support 'Black Watch's' idea for an 'ultra easy' setting with an easier AI for people like me who are just trying to get the hang of the game.P.S. If anyone else has tips, please post.
They will be appreciated by me and anyone else who is having similar problems. Sometimes the AI places artillery pieces or planes on the frontline. I would not call THAT overpowered. It is just better at exploiting player's weaknesses.
I had the AI in France attacking my single line front with 2 lines of rotating infantry. My effectiveness goes down and the battles start to go all in favor of the AI. Most of the time the AI does not attack without good opportunities. The battle outcomes seem to be slightly in favor of the AI, but that is okay. It would not be a challenge without some advantages. The AI attacks my battleships in my ports.
It is incapable of securing allied supply convois. The AI exploits breakthroughs without considering possible encirclement moves from my side. But it handles the bulk of its infantry force quite good.Have a nice day. Originally posted by:The AI isn't overpowered, neither does it have any advantages from what I could tell.
I beat the CP's in January 1916. At first the Germans have a technological advantage but once you reach parity they can be pushed back by using the correct tactics.The way I'd characterize it is that the AI does a very good job so long as it has enough units to fill the line and maintain adequate reserves. If you can start starving it for units though, it's not as quick as it should be in knowing when to retreat, avoid encirclements, and shorten it's lines.
