I wrote that 'some' PC configs are still suffering CTDs, not that the game crashes regularly on ALL PCs. Just to be clear, these occurrences are due to outdated audio codec drivers, HW sound card incompatibility issues, antivirus programs that make the game crash, etc. etc. Despite the extreme complexity of these issues, I'm working hard on them, in order to help the most number of customers.

The review is not only fair but detailed. Now, since the version tested at last 2 more patches have been delivered. A demo can be downloaded and the full manual is available in an almost achived form ( 200 pages...) Ageod records garantee this game will be improved in the next months. Last point/ Buying at Play.com will save you money but AGEOD will not get one cent from you.

However, from reading the AGEOD forums I can see that the game is vastly improved and correct manual will be available on Monday. I own a number of other AGEOD games and they are the best software company for continuously improving their games thru patches. I am sure that when I return to the game next week it will be just as satisfying as all of their other strategy games Got to say that I bought thise game just after it came out but haven’t really played it yet due to poor documentation issues and game crashes.

I have to say that as far as the crashes are concerned these are few these days and the game is very actively maintained. I was really disappointed when I bought it (there was no demo at the time) and if I had known its state I would not have invested the money and time. However, things improved dramatically in the following months and as it stands now, it is a worthy purchase... there are still a few issues (meaning it will probably crash a couple of times during a campaign) but I am sure these will be addressed as well. If you like world war one strategy there is nothing like it in the market right now, as far as i know. I own the game and I agree with the reviewer on many points.

I appreciated very much the review, that I consider fair. I'm working hard to remove all compliants and bring improvements to the game. The final version of the BIG game manual will be soon available, and a draft is already downloadable. Next versions of the game will have some key new features, such as the "Combat Logs", that will help a lot players in understanding the game mechanics. In addition, current technical problems (the freezes and CTDs reported on some PC configs) are my priority #1 and I'm working hard on them. Thanks, Luca. Hello, I’m the developer of WW1.
