I feel like this game is the least p2w out of all. You earn lots of medals and money, can easily buy any general (they're cheap), but you must unlock most of them by completing campaigns and get them FOR FREE.
I think the premium currency here is actually less important than the regular one. The only thing which could make you actually buy sth is crappy choice of artillery generals. That's because they've just used the ew6 engine and made new maps, units and generals, but still I think this is a good direction. I haven't bought a thing up to date (although I consider Foch).
Other f2p players have clearly noticed that as well

Guys,guys... It is absolutely impossible to say now with certainty whether it is a p2w or not. Remember EW6... The only difficult thing in this game was Crimean war, and it was released very late. And truth be told even Crimean war campaigns were not as hard as some Empire battles in EW5 like Volgograd, Rio, Atlanta etc. I personally played Volgograd more than 40 times to beat it! Moreover there was only one! viable strategy to beat it at all, invented by andrei. Another example is Glory of generals (classic and Pacific). These were the hall on earth. WC4 is a child's play in comparison to late campaigns of GoG. Yet, it was possible to beat them as a f2p player as well. So, my conclusion is: "Don't judge a book by the cover"... Now we know close to nothing about real difficulty of EW6 1914. And even if it is difficult there is always a way to beat it nonetheless  |

Having IAPs (especially the cavalry/tank one) can make a huge difference in speedruns. |

Having IAPs (especially the cavalry/tank one) can make a huge difference in speedruns. I only can agree to a certain extent. IAPs are helpful, for sure, but are they indispensable for speed runs? I don't think so. In EW6 there was only one super IAP general, namely Blucher. Napoleon was good but replaceable, and Wellington was weaker than half a dozen of non-IAP generals. But even Blucher can't decide campaign on his own. The same was the story in WC4, Eisenhower - awful, Zhukov - decent, Manstein good (but hardly head above of non-IAP tank generals). |

I’ll admit that I was mainly thinking of Blucher and how he was absolutely critical to my 1798 speedruns. |

Yep, they were exceptionally difficult, but interesting at the same time. One good thing about GoG was that you simply couldn't act godlike. Coordination with your AI allies was of paramount importance. Unfortunately our allies in other ET games are more of a headache than help |
