by the way, I don't think it's all wrong with rotating players. You get to understand how flexible the game is and how much ahead you need to plan.
For example, we have realized how pre war planning is crucial if you want to do some specific stuff (tiny example: the airborne invasion), which seems light years ahead of what you had in HOI3.
Dont care, I'm enjoying watching them play without armchair generaling. Game looks fantastic, can't wait to play myself.

One idea I would love to do is something we have done in office MP. You play coop with one person as a general in charge of a theater and the other as leader of the nation. Last time we played it the "Stalin" player purged the "General" player over not living up to promises over the invasion campaign of romania and hungary when it it was running behind schedule

Holy Cow! Sounds super fun, I want to see that.
And is this an announcement that co-op is a release feature? Or did I miss this big announcement earlier.

That's Epic. You should develop a coop RTS WW2 game next with one guy playing Leader giving orders, one guy in design and production designing and delivering weird weapons or stuff no one needs, one guy controlling the airforce "accidentally" bombing the own troops, one guy in control of army, and one guy in control of logistics (playing transport tycoon when bombs are raining basically ). Maximize the opportunity everyone have to screw up for each-other.
It would be glorious.

Is this coop an full feature and will it be in the final game it sounds awesome, also is it possible to have multiple generals e.g for the USA have a Pacific general, a Europe general, a home leader for production etc?
i asked about this before, and was told that in MP more than 1 person could play each country ? never tried tbh
That's how it worked in previous HoI games at least.
I still play HoI3 MP regularly and we make use of coops for Germany and Soviet after Barbarossa started ( otherwise speed 1 is to fast )
The first player to join becomes the "main" player and is the only one that can see and act on popups though ( would be strange if all got it and could choose different options! ).

Yeah, coop is possible, just like in HOI3 if you allow it when you set up your MP match. I am slightly hesitant to call it a full feature though as there isnt really any support for restricting access in these cases except for house rules (the General COULD have also started helping out with other fronts). Its something I'd love to develop more features around in future expansions though if multiplay of the type becomes popular.

The current WWW is nice as it is. I'd love to see a developer mini MP or SP with slower pace and more attention to detail and commentary before the release as an intermission, though. Spanish civil war, perhaps?

So, basically this forum is dividing into Team Daniel and Team Jacob?
Paradox: where Twilight fans go to war-game.

Daniel didn't impress me too much as far as strategy. He seemed very aggressive and put all his units in one big army not using battle plans. I really want to see an encirclement worked out using battle plans. So far no one has been able to pull that off. He did explain and show a bunch of game features though which was great.
Germany also didn't have enough Armor for the Mobile warfare doctrine at all. Not much Daniel could do about that. He did the best with what he could. I would have preferred to see Jakob play all the way through, as I think he had a great plan for Germany. It was ultimately ruined however in episode II.

Daniel explained he tends to make large crude plans and exploit promising breakthrough spots, flanking etc manually, as he did in Barbarossa. And it's no wonder no one's pulled a complex battle plan off, they're playing constant speed multiplayer where one can't spend minutes drawing a war plan.

He did say that you are correct. I thought they slowed down to speed 1 to allow more of the game to be shown. The battle planner is a very big part of the game I'd like to see more of is all.
He obviously got himself in serious trouble in Finland. Johan has cut off almost every port he can be supplied from and he may lose his troops in that region.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy listening to him on the steam and a new outlook. That was fun. To give him credit he showed a few features of the game I hadn't seem before which was great. A petition to replace Jakob though. Heresy...
