PC games provide great advantages: rigid rules controls, no need for dedicated space and referee, no wife and kids wasting months of hard gaming.
The AI is the weak point. It cannot bear the weakest human opponent.
This topic confirm my thesis:

I'm looking with interest to NCP and WIA, and I'll try the demo versions.
I'm doubtful over BPEM chances: few opponents seem to be interested with.
Please assist me in the right choice: keep mind I’ll search for tough PMEB gaming.

No chains of command and army, corps, division organization in the demo.
I searched at forum:

It seems like chains of command is not present at all in the complete game too.
Why?
No, it's not missing, it is not included by design.Then, the war economy and national war effort management is missing.

ArsanWashington or Howe armies (not to mention Montcalms' and company) were very small and little organized armies.
ArsanAn effective Corps organization was first used by Napoleon, and real and organized divisions (not just a bunch or regiments and brigades tossed under Lord x or Marquis Y command) were not used then
PrimasprintBecause this kind of military organization did not exist in that time.

Here is PhilThib explanation:

... I guess customers are looking for just one copy not 500!

jastaV wrote:It makes sense with coffee: they have different quality, flavor,…..
When a customer buys a game, here, at Play.com, or at any other place he is expecting to get that same product anyway and anywhere.
It makes sense and sounds good to get it for a cheaper price.
Pocus recommendation to buy here was justified but the fact that way AGEod will "earn something like 5 time what we earn, after the publishers and shops outlet have taken their share."
It’s good: I just suggest AGEod should be pleased to get JUST 2-3 time what it earns, after the publishers and shops outlet have taken their share… that way customers too will save 50% their money.
Notice, we are living hard times: Europe and USA, the two main markets for AGEod are managing a harsh economical crisis. People is looking to buy first need products saving few cents.
I think it makes sense saving some ten € or USA $ when buying a game!
Clovis wrote:So another cup of tea maybe?
Now the real question : is Play.com selling coffee?
jastaV wrote:+1
Nice and funny point!
AFAIK it's possible Play.com is selling coffee and tea too!
It's a sort of net-mega-store: movie DVDs, games, hardware, eletronic, T-shirt......
But, sorry for my insistence, the point is a different one: When AGEod will sell coffee and tea?

I think our differences are mainly "semantics".
