I'll shoot right off the bat, the game was awesome after release and while WW1 lasted. The current state compared to the initial hype is incomparable. I'll dish in my 2 cents about why I think the only thing awaiting this game is downfall.

Community

I took a very long break, probably more than 6-7 years from these games and I can clearly see why. Ego, Immaturity are just two of the most common characteristics found in most of the players playing this game. You're here for fun and hangs, right? Why show your irl complexes in an... online game?! It really won't make your life or yourself any better I was like this and I feel miserable for it.

Game Mechanics

As much as the admin wants to make this game "different' from the others, it's kinda working against the "progress" of the game. The incentive for a singular player to play the game is practically none, null, nowhere to be found. The game motivates the players to play together, invest together, and fight together, and not everyone likes that.

Useless time wasting rounds where even tho the battle or round is over it keeps going on, why? Test someones IQ like they are test monkeys? You win 5 rounds battle is over, region conquered and that's it, give us some Blitzkrieg. Supply system? What supply system? The one where you, spend gold on contracts or use very fishy market transactions that can be sniped from NPC's?

Conquering someone's country gives practically 0 benefits. Ok not 0 but you probably get the point, another incentive nowhere to be found. Attacking regions is expensive, and defending them even more, why even go to war in the first place? Just get wiped and play normally like you would before, nothing changes anyway.

This can easily be fixed if you make the bonuses attached to the country/citizenship, and not to the region.

I intentionally made this stupidly big because I feel like it's a major issue.

That way you are FORCED to go to war and make the game super interesting. But I doubt that this will happen since admins want to "balance" the game, and thus kill any incentive to spend more time or money even in the game.

Also, nukes need a big rework as they are practically useless at this point.

No Pay To Win?

Without solid income, this game will most probably be a joke. The game needs to hire moderators and pay them well for them to do their job well. As a country that has no multies and is strongly against them, it feels very odd knowing most countries have a "brother" or multi-account army sitting there two-clicking waiting for the right moment to drop an insane amount of whatever stack they have right now. Like guys, it's obvious no need to hide it.
The current Netflix-like "subscription" method is very creative and good, but we need more. If your players want to buy your product, SELL THEM YOUR PRODUCT.

Anyways, there are a lot more "wrongs" but that's all I'm willing to spill during this morning coffee session. Maybe things change for the better. Probably won't but who knows, see you in another article some time.
