What is so important in finishing this game? As I understand it was some kind of philosophical question  . Well, first of all I think it is the purpose of the game. Second, you can't enjoy it forever: players can or can't complete it and then we simply move forward, looking for another challenge. And last (but not least) it is a great feeling of satisfaction when you complete it, because you know that you didn't give up though it was temting at times, and you are the last man standing when all battles are over and all subtle enemies are defeated |

Victory leaves emptiness.
Zhuge Liang.
In some games it takes too long to finish last chapter. Except Easy tech games that are worth to trainbecausee :
-patience
-logical thinking
-perservance
-rules of engagement
-some historical episodes covered with tons of names
-turn based games are for the wise- if they don't cheat. (game of Go, Shogi, etc.)
-except Pacific General, where it was impossible win in Korea with only one general.

I completed both Classic and Pacific with Vatutin only. Moreover while waiting for WC4 I completed Classic again with Vatutin. This time with 5 stars for each mission european-war-4.boards.net/thread/6738/game-playing-before-release-android?page=2Someday I'll try to receive 5 stars for each single mission in Pacific as well using as you may guess Vatutin again |

I confirm. Panama and Volgograd are the last cities I have to complete now and are the hardest. My last attempt in Panama ended in turn 80... In Volgograd I am not annihilated like before, but my current strategy would need at least 50 turns. I will have to improve it. Unfortunately I haven't Wuhan, New Orleans and Denver. I suppose this is due to older version EW5 I have. Jeez, you're still going since September? Please tell me you don't play that often or it will be just too demoralising! |

Yes and no :-) I am trying it since September, but roughly only two/three attempts a month. The good thing is that every attempt is better and better, as my generals are more and more upgraded. Now I decided to get all item sets. Who knows, maybe I complete the game before I complete all 4 sets. |

I had enough, but I'll return to pacific again. Glory is 10 times easier- better for a beginning.So far Gems of War are giving me extra fun. |

I completed WC4 today - all battles in Domination and all hard Modern war campaigns (though not all of them with 3 stars yet). And I have to admit that EW5 is a significantly more difficult game than WC4.

What is so important in finishing this game? Maybe some HAVE to finish,a part of their behavior. While i do enjoy this game,i know i will never finish. Too much to do,,,overwhelming to me. That said,I'll just slog it out for awhile and when it gets boring go to something else. |

No one likes to finish things that he likes. Also with the games. And ET games have potential.

It turned out that in my last attempt I lose to the last wave of enemies, which I today successfully defeated. Now only Volgograd remains... |

I would like to inform you that I beated Volgograd today... So, after one year of playing, I finished this game. It was really the hardest and most challenging. And for the subject of this thread, my generals for the very last empire battle: Nobunaga - skills 5,10,10, equipped Paladin set Li Hongzhang - 10,10,1, Keel sword, boots, and ring (freshly purchased) Li Shimin - 3,10,1, Odin armor & Titan ring Nelson - 10,1,1 Bismarck - 1,10,1 Blücher - 10,10,3 Saladin - 2,10,1 Alexander - 1,10,1 My advancement (I must admit that I have huge amount of luck at the end): First bunch of enemies was defeated quite fast, thanks to both Bismarck's and Blücher's Rumor triggered. Nobunaga, Alexander, Saladin, and Blücher went then to the southwest, and Bismarck, Li Shimin, Nelson, and Li Hongzhang to the southeast. By turn 13 or so both southwest and southeast armies were cleared, and by turn 16 Bismarck and Li Shimin defeated the southeast tower. Then all went to the central-south, except Saladin, who valiantly went to the northwest point to guard it till the end (15% healing princess included). The central-south base was cleared by turn 26 (I lost Alexander here). Then Nelson went back to southwest for support an oversea invasion, and the rest started the final attack to the central fortress. (I must say that Nelson is necessary for this battle. I cannot imagine how it can be able to get overseas and take the objective on time without him. With his support I take the southwest objective by turn 36.) The final attack was the most difficult, the OP generals slowly decimated my units' health, and I also lost Li Hongzhang. With only Nobunaga, Li Shimin, Bismarck, and Blücher left, I must admit I believed that I wouldn't be able to succeed. In turn 38 I sent Bismarck (who had most health) to reconaissance mission so I could see both archery and cavalry OP bosses in the central objective. In next opponent's turn I lost Li Shimin and to my surprise, the cavalry boss also attacked and nearly killed Bismarck, but to do this, he abandoned the objective. Turn 39, only archer boss stood in the way to the final objective. I attacked with Nobunaga, who were killed when enemy retaliated, but managed to cripple him, and then Blücher finished him. Finally, beaten, wounded, and exhausted Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg, finally captured the objective. Epic, just epic :-) |
