Arguing semantics then. Establishing a forward position and then turtling is still turtling and playing defensively, no matter how "aggressive" the position might be. (typically it ins't that aggressive anyway, just one or two territory points away from the base.)
Well, yes, more or less. Because the OP of this thread appears to rely on a different interpretation to the one I think Relic were using, and I'm attempting to explain what I think they meant. b I'm suggesting it would more productive to try to understand what (I think/speculate) they intended to convey than to assume they mispoke or failed to understand their own game.
Because 50% or more of the games I play against OKW or watch an OKW player consists of building a battlegroup and setting up a turtling spot with a LEIG. They sit here, usually on a fuel point, until they have enough power to steamroll everything.
I'm not disputing that.
When the Normans invaded England, they brought with them a prefabricated wooden castle, which they erected inland. With that castle, they were able to range over a wide area with a fallback position; without it, they would always have been in danger of being pushed, literally, back into the sea.
Both the castle the OKW trucks provide a defensive position, but both are also acts of aggression. Relic are not wrong to describe OKW as an aggressive faction.
I don't get why people are having such a tough time understanding why they consider OKW aggressive early.
Consider that Ost pios can defeat a con squad at point blank; Sturmpios do the same on steroids. There's nothing stopping an OKW player pumping out a lot of them from Tier 0.
The use of truck, even if they are defensive in function, is still aggressive strategically. Although it take a bit of stalling, OKW are quite able to put their flak HQ down as their first tech decision, aggressively seizing part of the map in a period where they will be nothing to challenge it for a long time.
If they go medic truck they can similarly establish a strong forward presence.
Meanwhile, the kubel can waltz around pinning the opponents capping squads and even preventing them capping much at all. Plus the kubel and sturmpios synergise perfectly.
Just because OKW has some super-heavy units in the late game doesn't alter the fact that they have the capacity to be very strong early.
Not that many turn based games with multiplayer; there is an inherent problem with the potential for one player to fail to end a turn, or to deliberately max out turn time in the hopes an opponent will quit.
On the other hand, there are a variety of solutions to that, and depending on what sort of game you are looking for, there might be something suitable. Sword of the Stars 2, frex, has an automatic turn timer. Stuff like Magic the Gathering works in a similar manner. Things like Europa Universalis are not turn based, but are strategy games with multiplayer.
Perhaps if you listed other games you and your friend like to play, we'd have more to go on.
I did hear that the game was in quite close contact with the film team. Not that it was all done as one thing, but that they were apprised of what stuff the film was creating so they could incorporate elements of it. In that light, the decision not to copy the actor directly probably is deliberate.
Regional localisation is not the same as 'native' language. A Spanish localisation will have German figures speak in whatever is the appropriate-sounding accent for a Spanish-speaking German, I assume. So no, it's not "there".
I also hear the German localisation is terrible, FWIW.
Why do you need a system? You have one already, it's called 'posting'. If someone posts something you like, congratulate them; if something you don't, fight them.
Upvotes 'n stuff make a kinda sense with a very large community, in which people need to pre-filter the stuff they actually engage with, because there is just so much. In a smaller community, it;s perfectly possible to do the old fashioned thing and (gasp!) read people posts and respond to them. Honestly.
This is all justifiable in pure gameplay terms, it doesn't need this spurious historical hook. They end up talking about a foreign stereotype of the British, rather than any reality.
