During installation, I tinkered with the functionality and spent most of fifteen minutes to get used to the interface. There is a good tutorial that explains everything. Those of you who have played in World War II strategy know that it can sometimes take hours or even days to control some games control interfaces. So it was a real joy to be proficient how everything worked about half an hour after the start. This is not to say that I knew all the tricks of the trade, but the part of the basic interface was behind me. I could go into the real fun part of gameplay.
And on that note, Liberators knows how to make me a happy man by allowing me to use my native Yugoslavia to the rule, which is not an easy task at the time the Second World War. But in addition to Yugoslavia, any country you can think of is available. If you have a favorite country or a place where your family is, you can read them here. Of course, the big participants are also available. It would not be the Second World War without the United States, Germany, Japan, Britain, Russia and France. The play gives a very different perspective than trying to survive like Belgium or one of the Balkans.
Once I got into the game, I learned that even with the game showing the players how to do things, even then, he tries to continue to contribute to something that few titles, even those with good tutorials, never attempt to do so. For example, Supreme Ruler has made it much easier to choose research projects, allowing you to know what is down the tech tree you may want and even offering to automatically select the search path for you. I refused the offer since I'm still coming up with my overall strategy, but it was nice to have an intelligent advisor help.
Of course, in the next few rounds, I spent most of my time as leader of Yugoslavia, working through a geopolitical nightmare with Italy and Bulgaria. Finally, I managed to put myself in a good position enough to not be at war before I was fully prepared. Liberators did a great job with the system of diplomacy in this game, which was very realistic. Computer opponents (and allies as if any) are demanding, but not to the point where their actions do not make sense. You will not go to war on stupid things for most, but do not expect that everyone is thinking of ways to screw you over if the price is right and the opportunity arises. I am able to keep a happy face on most of the negotiations, giving up little things here and there that I was playing through the time while getting desperate for my country behind the scenes.
In fact, on diplomacy, I must say it is very well done here, he could almost be a game on his own. Those who master it will have a much easier time when filming begins.
Then, when the war finally presented at my door, there is almost no way for a country in this part of the world to avoid conflict during World War II, I was really excited. All battles are managed by the computer, of course, is a double-edged sword that tends to imitate real life.
First, if you have a well-guarded province (mine was around the town of Dubrovnik), then you can survive a massive attack without much loss. On the other hand, sometimes you attack with three times more troops and almost all yours die despite being very advanced. It's just one of those things that you fight through and after a while you choose your battles better. Maybe become a better overall strategic commander and critical thinker. If only the leaders of the real world have received such a benefit.
In my first match, I did not last as long as I thought. In my defense, I cannot fight against Germany, Italy, Romania and Bulgaria myself. Again, I would have probably been a little less confident in my abilities and adjusted my strategy accordingly. During my time fighting for survival slave I had a real blast and Supreme Ruler made me think ... a lot.
I played many other games after that first, and got a little better each time. One of these days I may even survive the war. To get out of Yugoslavia, I also tried my hand to France, Germany, the US and Japan, as well as some minor country that has not much to do with the war but played a more important role when I was in charge.
Everything was still quite realistic thanks to the large computer AI. Historic game mode gives players the gift of clairvoyance, since we usually know when things are likely to happen. Even then, it's not exactly an easy road, but at least you know things like not trusting the eastern fortifications completely as France or Hitler at all like Russia.
Overall, Liberators is a huge success. With strong graphics, brilliant diplomacy interface, the challenging AI and historical accuracy, so if you are looking for a way to invest some good moments in World War II strategy, this is a great way to do.
