Graphics are beautiful.
That is one of the best aspects of the game, but I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...
Definitely subjective, but I also like the graphics. Great artwork and nice period feel.

There is Making History - The Great War which looks promising... just enough detail and complexity yet easy enough to play. Worth checking out.

I must be missing some thing, i think the graphics in TEAW is very nice, The map is what maps looked like than. Every one has their own ideas of whats good or bad.
ORIGINAL: geozero
Sorry to disagree but that is NOT how maps looked like back then. I studied mapmaking at the Defense Mapping School and am the resident geek for all things map. But don't take my word for it.
Here's what a period map should look like - if you really want to go for period correct looks:

Notice the colors are subdued, not cartoonish.

If people don't like the game, don't play it don't buy. geozero the map you show as an example is a different scale and has a different use. If you were so unhappy with the game why did you buy it don't you look at screen shots of the game before you buy it?

Shame though that you feel:
"...TEAW at present feels too much like a game system in search of a war."
You posted that in response to someone's query as to whether he should buy this game. Way to win over the customers [;)]
Agreed. TEAW has wonderful artwork and loads of detailed units, but it doesn't really capture the feeling of WWI, at least at present.
WWI Gold does a much better job of modeling WWI - better diplomacy, better recreation of trench warfare, better simulation of combat across a front rather than just stacks, better simulation of the development of new combat doctrines and execution in ground offenses (via the Grand Offensive mechanism).

I can tell you the current AI is a mess and the game presently feels nothing - not even a little - like WWI.
#53
I've never seen anything resembling a Battle of the Frontiers, but I've seen plenty of Sedans. This game plays like the Franco-Prussian War far more than WWI.

Yes, the human is better than the AI in CW2, but the game engine there at least feels like the CW and AI acts in a manner that is plausible and consistent with that setting.
Here, at present, neither the game engine nor the AI resemble WWI.

I fear this game is quickly headed for the MP-only heap - which is a shame considering AGEOD's other games

If the AI is decent long turn times don't bother me to much..I mean I beta test Tigers Unleashed for christ sake:)
ORIGINAL: Fascist Dog
You don't think AGEOD are unable to fix the AI in the game, do you? Assuming that your answer to that question is 'No", wouldn't it suffice to warn folks that the AI isn't up to AGEOD's usual standards but it's a fresh release and they're working hard to fix it. Caveat Emptor? That way, you give them an honest answer to their question and it's up to them.

West Front, 1915 february.
WWI, real WWI. Playing this game (or WitE, WitP/AE, BA, AT) against the IA is wasting time. IA will never play better than a human opponent, not even close to what a bad human player will. Why don't you try PBEM game guys? It's so easy, not problem at all.
Come on, if you want to play against IA it's ok but don't come here and tell us that this game is crap, bad or that is the last game i will buy from AGEOD. It's ok, but not fair. Do you really think that WitP/AE is a bad game because the IA is crap? Or WitE?
