You can post your review on WC3 on here.
This game is...fantastic? Underwhelming? Huge? Well let's look at the pros and cons to see.
Pros:Obviously, the units are fantastic, like any other easytech game. You've got all sorts of different units, such as four different types of tanks, four different types of infantry, including the new commando, you've got all the usual planes, and you can use a nuke...if you're able to make one, that is.
Also, the size and scope of the world in this game is amazing. You've got pretty much all of a North America, all of Europe, the Northern half of Africa, the North of South America, the entire Middle East, India, the entire Far East, and parts of Australia. And that's only for 1939!
The generals work the same as in european war 4, with the neat extra that you actually get them from academies on the missions map, allowing you to know which country that General came from.
While the mission maps are on topic, you also have a map on campaign mode that will either let you see your world wonders, do missions, or do campaign levels.
Last but not least, you can play as nearly every country in the world, with the exception of some neutrals.
Cons:Despite the great unit types, you'll probably only ever use a select few in your military career, which is upsetting.
I also need to mention the countries entering the war at different turns in conquest mode. Why? Often times you'll just ATTACK them already before they join. I know. It helps smaller countries, but it doesn't really make a difference.
The worst problem, of all, is the way they make the game more difficult. Instead of having the countries you're facing be more difficult, they instead make your allies suck, which is way worse than the enemy being more difficult. It's not so bad if you're a big power like Japan, Britain, or even China, but if you're, say, mongolia, it makes the game nearly impossible.
Finally, you do have to wait like an hour of in game time at the most, but it's not really a problem.
Summary:Overall, fantastic game, and definetely worth the $1 on the App Store. Despite some flaws, still a great game. I give it four and a half stars out of five.

I also find that my allies are worse. When I was Brasil in 1950, the Soviets got up to France. But when I was the People's Republic of China, NATO defeated the Soviets in the west. I also agree that it is not a problem when playing as a major power. I won as the Japanese and the Italians twice, but it's so annoying. Also for some reason, Sweden is a part of NATO. Japan, Germany, and Persia/Iran has the ability to make nukes, which is irritating when playing as the Chinese. Beside the flaws, I enjoy World Conqueror 3 and I am so glad that Easytech is making games. Cheers. 4/5

Flaws can be turn into advantage too.
For examlple I too noticed the AI strong if played against but very weak if allied too,so in 1950 my soviet Soviet friends were super weak so I just hang by their major threatened cities and just recapture them as soon as they fall.I dont need the Soviet to win for me I just need them to give me their cities,I can do the rest.
Sometimes Ill let them steal from me too,like I destroy an enemy city and wont capture it,if there is an ally near by they will steal it from you and get stronger.

The game is great,truly, and I never expected a 3rd installment.When I got world conqueror 2 I thought that Easy Tech didn't make games anymore, but left the games for all to enjoy.
When I found WC3, my mind was blown. Got game, chose the German commander as main and began domination. However, as each campaign progressed, I noticed the AI getting crappier and crappier, particularly on Allied mission 7 and Axis mission 10, both of which I'm stumped on. I also have yet to win as a country in all four time settings for this reason.
I understand the British MAAAY not have been at their best in India( allied 7), but I don't know as I don't care much for the Asian theatre of WW2. As for Axis 10, well it never happened, but Italy is terrible with no known oil,gold OR steel income, 2 units to land on America and one general.
Japan, they're better off until an atom bomb is dropped on one of their Carriers, and their land units eventually are stuck because they can't keep the single oil tile they come across.
American AI is incredibly tough on Axis 10, as after 6 turns a super tank with Patton as it's general spawns, and from then on your screwed. And even if you manage to get I DC before turn 6, kill the tank already there and the super spawns.
But, as the AI is the only prob for me, I give it a 3.5/5. May be low, but we should expect better, no?

Legitimate gripes Endgame,personally I find all these shortcomings acceptable as I higly value the game,would probably rate it at 8 or 9 out of 10 purely on the fun factor. You probablt noticed I slightly edited your review to make it more readable.1 huge wall of text is murder on the eyes  |

Here's a list of good and bad things in my opinion...
Good
- Compared to other titles, WC3 gives a pretty good description of what thigns are. For example, it clearly says what it means by having 5 stars in Artillery or how Armored Car is effective against infantries.
- Conquest mode is challenging. Honestly say, I feel that conquest in EW4 is boring becuase AI is unable to post much threat regardless of countries thay are.
- Troop upgrade in WC3 has effect on all game mode.
- Various kinds of units for different play styles.
- You can play as many countries.
- Airstrike/Missille/Paratroop add more dimention to the game play
- Upgrade gameplay via wonders is interesting
- Offers difficulty level in campaign missions
- Offers eye-covered general for customization (even though the cost is insane)
Bad
- Conquest map is way too large and it take load of time in order to finish one game (2/3 of the total time is for mopping enemy towns in a far away land). Being able to conquer the whole world is good but I would appreciate if the game also offer some smaller maps (e.g. Europe 1939 or Asia 1950) for a casual one hour play.
- Paratrooper spam is super annoying!!!
- I feel that Super Tank make other units obsolete.
- Generals role in conquest game is very limited. Most of generals are worn out after 20 rounds of operation since they do not regen. If you are playing 1950 or 1960, chances are your general will be nuked in the first few rounds.
- Many of the general skills are not very creative. Most of them are just adding flat damage. There are very few skills that affect the gameplay (like Spy, Geography, Leadership, Mass Fire, or +movement in EW4). Because of this generals in WC3 do not have the feeling 'unique' like those in EW4.
- Campaigns are way too short. 32 (pre-alien) missions here vs 80+ missions in EW4.
- Territory color change when allies move pass. This makes the map look really ugly. (same as EW4 and was better in WC2)
- I really hate the grinding system in WC3. There are limited medals you can earn from playing the game. It would totally destroy the incentive of playing the game once you can no longer get any medal. World Wonders give you medal over time but this makes the game become more like a cheap version Farmville or Hayday. Players are rewarded from waiting the game clock to tick; not from playing the game.
Well, even though, there are more bad than good on my list, the game overall is good. I like it and will definitely recommend to my friends and the price $0.99 is nothing compare to what I get. Overall I would give 4/5.

I played as Brazil in 1950 too and Russia, China and Egypt took over the entire world except south america and Australia... I mean its really unfair. I also realized how you can't go to war with your own allies and neutrals anymore, I do prefer cities having health bars before they can be take over though.

The thing with cities having health conpletely messed up my gameplay in the beginning, because I started thinking the game would be the same as EW4.

The cities having health balanced the addition of airports. Otherwise you could just paratrooper into every city lol

True. Think like that would be possible. Nobody would be playing this game anymore.

It also prevents you (us) from capturing allied cities.

For me I'm not hat advanced so I stay away from 1950-1960 until I get more advanced tech and level up more. I played 1950 a few times and the best game so far is me as Russia, the only game that lasted 28 rounds and I kept playing until. But in 1943 I beat it as India and England, but the only time your allies don't really suck is 1943 as a two star allied countries. You have a 75% chance that America, Canada, and Mexico will land in mainland Japan it's a down hill battle for them. And almost every time, England wins in Europe but a 50/50 chance to win in Africa. |

One thing EasyTech MUST do before I run to their headquarters to hit the walls with a crowbar  : -Nerf PRC: China spawning 100 paratroopers is not fun anymore. This could be done by making Almaty or Dihua a lvl 2 airport so you do need an extra 20 turns to conquer Chongqing. -Let your allies be less nooby: When I was playing as France 1960 I noticed that all of Italy, Greece and the Balkans was taken over by Egypt :/ -Stop the AI from doing illegal moves: I noticed the computer can put a super tank with Timoshenko in Leningrad in 1943. While Leningrad has no factories at all!!!! Also GB nuked Budapest in 1960 in turn 2 which is impossible. |

I like the generals appearing out of nowhere. But sometimes they overdo it. Play 1939 and count how many German generals spawn in from Vienna and Cologne. Jesus.
