I played GoI for about 155 hrs and when GoI Alliance came out iI was kinda skeptical about it. The way this dlc was promoted didn't sitt well with me. In he End I bought the game due to a low player base in GoI and what can I say the new game does not only not give old players a little thank you it seems like a plan B solution.

What do I mean with that?
- There are new maps, but most of them are restricted to certain modes
- the hitboxes are a little bit off.
- The PVE is as boring as can be, with unispired WKII airplaines, freely in your back spawning Blibs and a big varity of missions. Like the one where you have to destroy a few stations, while under enemy fire, or the one where you have to standby in a reach of enemy bases til they self destruct while under enemy fire... you get the point.
- The grafics actually look worse than in the original when it comes to verything that is not on a ship
- But theree are factions now. There is quite a bit of lore for them if you are interested, but if not, every faction has a new ship and a new weapon. Also they have a never ending war on who wears the most stupid uniform ( I think they are all winners).
- Than there is this faction war thing. Honestly I dind't look much into this, but it seems like you can deploy in a war zone , which doesn't mean you actually get to fight there. No, you just do normal missions an get gold for that and a bit of poionts for the deployment zone. The gold you can use in the deployment zones too. If you factions has enough points you win the territory and get a ressource. This thing is, wht's really makes me believe that this wasn't the original plan.
- You can play pve with just one ship now (probably interesting for old goi players, but it seems to be a cure and an ilness for the game, due to it's low player count).
- also the workshop still isn't a real workshop, its more like steam greenlight for stuff.

Can I recoment this game? Yes but not in good conscious.But I will probably give it another chance or two and update this post if I find something interesting .
