Just wanted to say how excited I am to find this game. I was really debating whether to buy Empire:Total War as I am a longtime fan since the original Shogun game. But the technical and AI issues I have seen on the TE forums turned me off. I saw someone mention this game on one of the forums at TWCenter and now I will be buying COG: EE instead!

Welcome to this kick a** game AND not least to these forums. Do not be anxious about asking questions, the ppl here at the matrixgames forums are (99%) a great bunch!

Good choice. I own both games and I can say that, apart from the graphics, CoGEE is the much better game.



Anthropoid -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 2:07:50 PM)

COG:EE is the way games should be: balanced, engrossing, thought-provoking, compelling. Not having played some of the 'competitor' titles, I can only speculate, but sadly it seems some game companies (e.g., the Civilization series which I have played extensively) perceived their bread will be better buttered if they shift their product lines more toward the lines of incredibly high-end graphics-fest with inadequate attention to balance, and strategic though, much less anything that will really capture a serious strategy gamers attention for more than a couple sessions.



MorningDew -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 4:07:52 PM)

Welcome. And I encourage you to play PBEM. IMHO, that's were the real fun begins:)



evwalt -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 4:12:48 PM)

I agree. PBEM is the way to go and I have only played 1 turn!

Get used to Advanced Economy first. I strongly recommend reading the Advanced Economy guide (+ textiles supplement). Makes it fairly easly.




barbarossa2 -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 4:16:37 PM)

Welcome. :)

Yeah. PBEM is about the only way I play after spending 2-3 weeks getting the hang of it in play vs. AI.



punkrockgrenadier -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 4:25:04 PM)

Thanks all for the warm welcome! Ok, here is my first noob questions: What is PBEM?



barbarossa2 -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/3/2009 4:58:37 PM)

;) PBEM=Play by Email.

You play against up to 7 other players. Check out the opponents wanted section for games.

Great news. And also great news that people are starting to realize that there is an alternative to that game with the massive advertising budget.

And what amazes me is how durable the pbem community is. Seems that we have a stable player base now. The longest pbem is now well into the 50's (turns) and still going strong...

Off course it is still going strong, think I would allow you guys to quit with French troops on Austrian soil? [:-]

Aha, thanks. Sounds awesome!



IronWarrior -> RE: New COGEE Player (7/4/2009 6:31:41 AM)

Ditto on the welcome and pbem advice above!

BTW I'm more of a "Colbert Conservative" myself. [;)]
