I think its a good thing they split WW2 into a pacific and Europe campaign since we can get more battles on less known battles. In WC3 having the whole of WW2 be done in a single 10 mission campaign meant they had to focus on the big operations.

I'm going to make a more in depth analysis of all things seen in video, such as wonders, campaigns (22 known) and generals

Wow people were eager to comment on this one.
I honestly like the similarities to WC3. Better than one of the recent failures.
Yes make an improvement or just another journey and I will be happy.

These General look the same face from wc3 I believe they will most likely just be wc3 generals. Would be suprised if there was new ones From what I saw they are simply restated

It's not really what I would prefer. I'll try it still though, it has some improvements from WC3. I like the idea of deployment, EW4-esque unit strength, sectors, and the fighting animations (with the subs) remind me of WC2.
What I don't like however is the Grand Strategy components being more prevalent. Tech tree expansions, more buildings and the like. I don't know about the diplomatic system - hopefully they have good enough AI to prevent diplomacy being a waste. Don't want to give a fresh batch of resources just to let them go to waste.
I never really thought of ET as a provider of complex games, more of those you play in your spare time, on the go, etc. but still having enough depth. EW5 was too much depth for me and WC3 was a bit overwhelming. Never really cared about upgrading troops in EW4 anyway.
Not what I want (I would want a game akin to the original GoG), but it's fine.

Judging from the locations of the campaigns we can know the campaigns in Europe. Really hoping pacific war campaigns start before Pearl habour because if it did not than we would be missing out the early years of the Sino-Japanese war. Most of the Cold War campaign is going to be fictional but for the historical side I am hoping we get a level for the Chinese civil war. I had expected a level on the Chinese civil war in WC3 but there was not and the Cold War conquest already has PRC already having mainland China.

It seems there will be more campaigns in this one, due to atlantic Pacific split. Still curious on how they will conduct cold war and if they do aliens

Landmarks seem to be like wonders but city specific, they only aply in one city.
Wonders are just normal
You can unlock some generals by hq-lvl like wc3, but others seem to require special missions (Rommel)
Domination has a lot in common with empire from ew5 with special missions in which you can unlock things.

NetherFreekEach of these topics could be expanded into their own threads.Generals,technologies,units. We need an ETA (estimated launch date) from Easytech so we know when to also roll out the new WC4 board and start populating it with lots of cool info threads.

Okay, then i'll make some seperate threads. As for the ETA, nobody knows for sure. So i'll base it on the last game releases after their trailers (on ios): Ew5: 10 days Gog2: 19 days Wc3: 14 days So i expect 2/3 weeks.
