This game has been with me through thick and thin, and honestly. it sounds like the developers are getting much closer to the community. thus, I shall revert my previous review, and state that the game (despite it's steep price tag) is slowly getting better.

But, in the name of humor, I shall keep my story of the polish resistance alive.

"The first game, I played as Germany, and the game went at a snail's pace compared to usual. At this point, I looked up and thought "Huh, my manpower is pretty low. I guess I should raise my conscription laws". Needless to say, It didn’t help in the slightest. I then proceeded on with the game until I cut my losses, and left it out of sheer boredom. The second time, I had a new gameplan in mind. So, I picked Germany, and the game proceeds as usual. Not much to write home about, other than the fact that the UI now looks beautiful. (Which is the only thing I will give the developers, the UI is spectacular, and a wonderful job with the focus tree overhaul). But, as I progress on, I go to war with Italy, and it drags on. And on. And on. I realize that I have lost 2 million men to the italian front. How? ♥♥♥♥ if I know, they must have been putting some pretty strong stuff into mussolini’s pizza pie.

I eventually ran out of manpower, and so, I stopped training my divisions, giving me a nice roomy 700k manpower. For a moment, there was hope. For a moment, I saw the green flares in the distance and knew things would be alright. And then, I look to Poland, and I see a sea of “Factory sabotaged” across the map. My jaw dropped through the floor, and into the depths of hell as suddenly, I went from 700,000 Men to 0. 700,000 𝕸𝕰𝕹. I did some research, The battle of warsaw cost the germans around 50,000 soldiers in total. In less than a day, Germany had lost 14 times the amount of troops than in the entirety of the warsaw uprising.

I guess Warsaw called, and boy did the free nations reply to said call. Needless to say I let the poles go out of sheer anger, and terror.

A few minutes later I said “♥♥♥♥ it” and commenced an experiment. I knew the Italians would take Churchill's words to heart and never surrender, so I saved the game, deleted all my troops, and looked to my newly conquered land in latvia. Imagine my shock as I went from a roomy 700,000 Manpower to 650k, then 600k… I was astounded, and It just continued going down further!"
