Status: offline 		We're curious how many of you were owners of the original "Crown of Glory," how many of you own our Civil War game "Forge of Freedom," and how many have owned both. Please choose the answer that applies, though only upon purchase of the game. (If you are 100% certain that you will be buying COG:EE, but only once the recession ends or your portfolio of auto, newspaper and banking stocks rebounds, please wait until that time...)

Thanks for your responses!

Got all your games Gil (even if I didn't buy CoG, got a review copy - and made a review !) ! But I do get 99% of all PC wargames produced, so I'm not really representing the customer base
In fact CoGEE is dling now, a bit slowly though (<200K/sec, my connection is 600Ko, this seems a success if the server is so taxed..).
Well, really I'm more and more impressed by WCS games : COG was a bit rough on the edges, with some missing features and an improvable interface, FoF showed numerous improvements on the same general game design, COG EE - from the posts and AARs- seems to be now "one step beyond" .
Keep on the good work !

Detailed combat in all 3 is the best I have encountered in all the strategy games played. I used to rate the Total War series quite high but they fail miserably when it comes to diplomacy.
I find the development of province resources somewhat slow and tedious in CoG EE, especially with regard to textiles as the production of quality military units depends too much on textiles, and by the time one has one's military units up to a high standard the game length is virtually over.
How about game events which boost production significantly, or when one captures a province there is a stache of resources one obtains ? Also Terms of Surrender could include a demand for certain resources from a conquered nation.

Bought this as an alternative to garbage (IMHO) like Victoria, EU, and Empire Total War.

Hope it does not disappoint, I'm optimistic!

Bought Forge of Freedom first; liked the way you did things in both grand strategic control, and then allowed us to have brigade-level battles.

I then recently bought COG:EE for myself for christmas -- I shall have to learn more about the Napoleonic wars -- this is a period I know little to nothing about; other than "Napoleon conquers europe, invades russia, loses; is exiled, comes back, fights Waterloo, then gets exiled permanently"

Status: offline 		Sorry, maybe this is not the place to ask for it but... Is there any plan to redone or update this wonderfull game? I would like this game for main wars of XVIII century with a worldwide map and better UI, better AI and graphics. In my opinion it would be a great success worldwide for sure.
