WARNO

Eugen is being greedy and playing with semantics to not include all DLC in the EXPANSION PASS. And here's the problem with playing with semantics like that: Technically they could just take 75% of the Post-Day 1 content and put it in a DLC not included in the "Gold edition expansion PASS Deluxe" --- which is industry standard language for all-post day 1 content (as the ever-lowering steam review score of the Warno Expansion Pack attests). The DLCs are described in very general terms, so we have to trust Eugen to act in good faith when we shell out our money in advance to buy software that isn't even created yet. It's completely arbitrary what units/maps/features they put in which DLC, even more so in a hypothetical conflict. There is no reason why the two divisions and their units just released couldn't have been a part of SOUTHHAG.... Like, NONE, zero. And while we're on the subject, even if we accept their official explanation, it doesn't look good that Eugen is putting out extra paid DLC that's not a part of the expansion pack before they even finished programming what people have already paid for. But the fact is, no one buys an expansion pack or a season pass or a gold edition or a ultimate edition or a complete edition thinking; "Oh, well, there's obviously going to be a lot of DLC content to buy after the content in the package." If they don't think an "expansion pack" described as the "gold edition" and the "ultimate collection" of DLCs DOESN'T sound like all DLCs, they are lying to themselves and to us. And more importantly, they are using up the trust and good will of their customers: go over to the store page and watch the review score drop in real-time. I probably own about 2k games between Steam, GOG and Epic and if possible, I almost always buy the edition with all DLCs included. In all those "Gold Editions", "Expansion Packs" and "Ultimate Collections" etc., I have never once experienced what Eugen did here. It's not okay.

Been trying to play this for a couple days now. But I can't. When the game isn't crashing on startup, it's crashing during a game. Did all the training missions and got to play some rounds in Skirmish. The AI cheats constantly. If I load up heavy on infantry at the start, they load up heavy on anti-inf helicopters and napalm. If I load up on tanks, they load up on anti-tank. If I load up on helicopters, they load up on AA. It's pathetic. I have played RTS games since C&C1 and strive for no/min losses in everything I do. Just off what little I have seen, it's nearly impossible to do that in this game. Units refuse to backup or follow any commands besides switching targets once engaged. This makes it easy for the AI to snipe your helicopters and tanks. Helicopters come with no smoke or flares. Helicopters, especially Apaches, refuse to use rockets and missles unless they are WAY TOO CLOSE. Tanks have smoke but only have 1 salvo, which is flat out stupid. And anti-tank infanty takes WAY TOO LONG to get a rocket off. And that's just what I've seen in 2 days. I'm gonna go watch some youtube videos about it and see what it takes to anti-cheat this AI in this game, or if there are any mods for it. It's really sad that you have to cheat players via giving the AI cheat to have a fighting chance, always the poor mans way of making "good" AI. Just like Warhammer and Stellaris, if you have give your AI cheats, you didn't make a good AI. I have no desire to play multiplayer in this game and sad that there is basically no campaign, which the trailers and stuff imply there is some form of story going on, but there isn't. It's really just a multiplayer template system like so many other games these days. On steam you would have to make a login and everything to even run this game and they collect data off your computer. Which is already making me want to refund it. I'm already a few more crashes and getting sniped by invisable AA or TOW missles from refunding.

even though I played all the tutorial missions I don't know how to command a supply truck to resupply another unit as soon as it spawns/leaves base. This result in a lot of micro. So does the fact, that I can't define "fire at will" as the default behavior for my artillery.

Warning Order (WARNO) is one of the best RTS games I have played, the base game has a lot to offer and on top of the countless DLCs there are also 10s of thousands of mods ready for you to consume!! 100% recommend, buy now!
