I can't think of many World War 1 games, let alone turn based ones, but this game gets it right. I definitely recommend it. It has replayability and is the "just one more turn game". You'll also learn a lot about World War 1 if you just have a high level understanding of the conflict. I think some of the most interesting part of the game is Russia and the eventual Revolution that takes them out of the war, and the conflict in the Middle East between the British and the Ottoman Empire.

Grew up on the older games in the series. The game is a simple strategy game that is complex enough to present a challenge while still being easy to pick up and learn. I currently have a save that I am six hours into where as Italy I took Libya and Ethiopia. Then a few months later the Russian Empire would invade Persia with the Ottomans declaring war on Russia in return. And I have gotten to watch the AI handle an invasion about as well as Putin has in Ukraine.

It's probably the best of the (very few) strategic WWI games out there. The Strategic Command series has been around for a while, so you know you're getting a system that is well-supported and devs who take a hands-on interest in getting it right. I actually think WWI might be the best fit for SC's particular mechanics. The AI is decent to very good for this genre. From game to game it will use different overall strategies and operations. It is also pretty good at managing ground level tactical decisions also (which units attack who, positioning, etc). All the different fronts have their own quirks and challenges, and offer hard decisions about where to prioritize and where to sacrifice. The game does a great job modeling how the technology evolved & deeply affected the strategies - the Western Front begins with maneuver warfare, then static positions get much stronger, but all the while both sides will be developing the foundations to eventually break the stalemate and you don't want to be caught snoozing when that happens. A lot of love was put into the DLC also, which models several lesser known conflicts from the era. The graphics are frankly pretty dated though. I look forward to the franchise improving them. The game does come with a pre-packaged cosmetic mod with much cleaner units & map, but I do think it's about time for a revamp.

the reason that you have to play this game is in fact that you are able to change history as you like but the more interesting that AI also will try to do that also :-) for example in ww1 the german go to invade france following the shliffen plan mean invading belgium and try to capture paris ! so if you decide not to go with this plan so france will try this shliffen plan against you ! imagine that :)

This game is great. Now, at first I wasn't too excited. Maybe the scale was just a bit too big for me. But then Empires In Turmoil dlc came out. Now this has become one of my very favorite games. The Balkan Wars, the German SE Africa Campaign, the Russian Civil War? Excellent, challenging scenarios. 9/10
