Mine is by far the new production system. I can't deny. I'm a hoarder and an inventory manager in pretty much every game that I play.


I can;t wait to scroll through my inventory of engines of war.

I'm with you - I love having the individual production lines and seeing total numbers of tanks available of what kind, etc.

Battle planning system looks incredible...

Half the time I want to micro other half I want to just win the war and not have to deal with tedious unit movements.

The entire equipment system is great. I like the technology research a lot as well, it looks a lot better and clearer than in the previous games.

The battle plan system would be amazing, if only I could plan for myself, instead of planning for AI. I love making plans, but assigning control of units to AI pretty much means that I'm not playing the game then, I'm just watching a movie.

So you decided to buy them after all even if it is just cosmetics?
Your choice solely.

Anyhow



This
Still bad for them to rip cosmetics like that

I guess that once they were finished with the game and hit that beta. They sent all their 3d artists to work on sprites which was essentially not a part of the game.
The game is payment for all that work on the game, the cosmetic are payment for the cosmetic + extra money for paradox. I concur that its a dick move, its a dick move that any video game does it. Fuck you EA. But plsss paradox, don't become EA.

The Battle-planner: mouse drawing, and auto moving (i.e: not having to click on a unit in Singapore to embark then plot its move then watch when it arrives and then remember to click to disembark) + the micro element allowed if you want, and that the battle-planner actually looks map fronts .... an absolutely revolutionary and awesome feature in my opinion.
