Making History: The Calm and the Storm Gold Edition

Güzel

Basically took the worst parts of Hearts of Iron, and made it even worse. Not a fun game, not easy to understand, and very tedious and boring to play. The only upside is the combat being easier to understand than HoI, but past that, it's still pretty bad.

This is the best strategy game i've ever played in strategy genre. Also, it is probably the best game from Making History games (TSWW is a bit laggy and slow compared to this game). [h3] Main features: [/h3] -War doctrines in research tree -Many modern technologies in research tree (ICBM, Advanced tanks) -Challenging naval (like if you're playing as germany your permanent goal is to beat UK naval) -Challenging economy system. With this game you can learn that war is actually expensive. -Puppet state system. It is simple and yet good. [h3] Special features that i've noticed: [/h3] -Fright system. For example, if you're playing on Germany and all wars you've started you're winning, small (sometimes even big) countries can ratify your agreements, especially territorial one. I could sometime get Pomorze, so i bypass Polish corridor; Alsace-Lorraine that is historically German. -Historic territorial transfer. You can send territorial transfer agreements to countries that have been pressured by germany or ussr and so on. These are list of them: Danzig (you can simply annex it sometimes with just territorial transfer), Sudetenland, CZ (refers to Munich agreement, but if you somehow missed this event you can send territorial transfer), Samogitia, Lithuania (also known as Memel). It is important to try to send them in period they were ratified in real life. -User-deciding events. I enjoyed how i can simply let Austria vote at their own terms and with some chance they're rejecting or accepting union. It adds to the game a bit of difference. Like, every game is different, even on the same scenario. -Encyclopedia. Fully written tutorial for each function in game. [b] Special thanks to Muzzy Lane Software for developing this game. It is definitely worth to study history via it. Also it brings a lot of fun and concentration at the same time. [/b] P.S Hey, Muzzy Lane. I've noticed that this game has simple ideology system. Countries with the same ideology are more likely to work together. But if i want to expand this system, what should i do? the idea was to create research tree named Ideology via modding and create some events. So there are 2 questions: how to create custom events (like austrian crisis) and how to create research tree. In general, i want full tutorial to modding to this game. Maybe it would be a good idea to add it to Encyclopedia. Also i wanted to ask if you have "Triumph of the Reich" scenario. It is the last scenario i couldn't find for this game. Hope you will respond me. Overall decision: [u]APPROVED![/u] | Not approved
