Hello all, I thought I'd include a thread were everyone might share their observation of Darkest Hour.
My titbit for today is the importance of specialization of research; no matter how much IC you have, at the end of the day to have an edge, general research will put you down while focused research will give you an advantage. Low IC countries will almost always have to basically up-end infantry, doctrine, and perhaps a few other relevant techs, while higher-tech countries will have to choose according to their needs. The Union of Britain needs to focus on naval research, a superior air force, and a measure of ground forces besides and that in turn requires narrow goals that are reachable such as carriers, STG’s and Fighters, and an a marine infantry army. Commune of France needs tanks, tactical bombers, motorized infantry, and that is just about it. The German Empire with Black Monday in mind can’t really do that much for much of the early game, but it still needs naval and land superiority at the very least.
Those are my thoughts at any rate, what are yours?
