How about micro transactions ? Buy a pimped Yamato for 4.99$ or for 9.99 $ your ships have unlimited fuel and stuff like this.


I like this idea. For a monthly 'Premium Account' you could unlock bonus features. Upgun your cruisers to 12" weapons or load your destroyers with the mighty nuclear depth charges.

Or maybe buy T-54 tanks for the Soviet advance through Korea in 1945. Or for the Japanese the V-2 rocket carrying submarine. Or even the space battleship Yamato.

Agreed. No upgrades except if you pay for them.

On second thought I guess we better keep away from the marketing departement with this views.

If succesful your troops might find stuff like the Sherman slayer AT gun or a +3 AA gun.

Status: offline 		Unfortunately I think your wife has hit the same realization I have. I've tried a few times, never made it past about mid-march 42 in a game. There is just too much to do, too complex, and that does make it rather boring, since you spend far more time in the orders phase than watching the turn play out. WiTP Vanilla was fine for me, AE went too in depth.

10. Find some way to get Super Mario into the game. Come on, who the heck doesn’t get a little chuckle whenever the little guy pops up on the screen?



That one isn't too hard





Super Mario ? Come on guys, stay realistic ! What about Macgyver instead ?
And comercials for cleaning stuff, to attract the housewifes

I remember something almost similar! Long haired, blond girls in skin tight leather SS-uniforms, performing martial arts in sinister suroundings, led by a plain crazy and lunatic female officer with a very high BMI-value, not to say a person with heavy overweight, called "Helga von Bülow"..... In the "Castle Wolfenstein" ego shooter!

Now scantily clad anime girls (or fan service, as it is properly known among the true connoisseurs) is sadly overdue.

At the least, the ships should be able to be renamed:

"Wow, I just put a torp into the USS Sarah Palin!"


Or is that already possible (the renaming, not the torping)?




Let's just enjoy the game without the politics, OK?
