Is there ANY way to "speed up" the campaign? Boring

[nazgull2k1]

Im falling asleep here.. I get 2 lousy armies to cover this gigantic map and its a slog to get them anywhere... and then I have to sit and watch the axis' planes fly in circles for 5 minutes every turn ..

I mean my GOD this is just boring as hell. I bought this game for some ACTION... this crap is worse then melatonin. Even the Total War maps have a "speed up AI turns" function so you DONT have to just sit there like a complete pleb

It's going to get somewhat better when you capture Naples and some other ports or airfields and able to bring in more companies.

Im not going to get that far. Its been 8 friggen hours.. telling me I gotta chew down any more of this crap sandwich just to get to the cherry in the center just isnt worth the energy it takes.

It's your decision. Ultimately I also think the campaign map is the most flawed aspect of the game, even while the dynamic battles and choices and customization of companies is pretty fun. The presentation and UX is too bad to make up for by the sound enough gameplay.

Check if there is any trainer that lets u do one turn, more resources and what not.

I prefer linear campaign like in CoH 1. This sort of "strategic map" is a snorefest in Dark crusade and Coh 2 expansion.

The Ardennes campaign map was 10x better than this. Every move, I got to do a fight, have a match, PLAY THE GAME... this fricken crap I spend 10 turns just walking around trying to FIND something to fight. Thats when I can actually move a full move without having to stop and destroy one of the 12,000 gun emplacements that take half my life with 1 shot, cant dodge them, cant avoid them, cant SEE them until AFTER they do the damage to you..



Its just not good. At all. Its trash.

There needs to be more happening thats. Why. Build up defences in towns and outposts. The enemy attacking your newly captured cities and towns in which you have limited units to defend with. There is VERY little that is Dynamic about this campaign. It's not a Dynamic campaign to me as it's far too heavily scripted. They should of learnt from Total war

WHAT enemy!? You have ACTUAL enemies attacking you!?!?

Ive played this garbage for 8 friggen hours and have had 5 fights in that time wherein I curb stomped the AI in less than 15 minutes.

The rest of the time its "Company of Gun Emplacements 3".. cause all I ever do is walk 2 steps, take 1/3rd my health in damage from a gun emplcement, end turn, watch german planes spin in circles for 5+ minutes... then destroy the ONE gun emplacement of the 2 or 3 in range of me... end turn.. watch the planes.. ooo pretty... rinse, repeat..

I have no need to do anything else like building defenses. Defense is only required if there's an ACTUAL offense on the table. After 8 straight hours.. there aint ♥♥♥♥ on this map except gun emplacements and empty space.

Its BEYOND boring. Its just terrible.

Not sure what you did but I had 3 companies gearing up two headed north one headed east after the counterattack at the starting point. And I get attacked multiple times per turn from north of Naples now.

Same experience I guess capturing Naples AI will start attacking you so far AI is not using aircraft to attack me. I only see AI use ships to attack my ships but somehow one AI ship is stuck and not attacking my ship.

I have non-stop skirmish battle with AI once I capture Naples.
Also getting Naples depending what you chose you can have 5 company even on population cap. Totally wish Naval, emplacement and aircraft doesn't count on population but defends on the building hubs like Dune Spice Wars or Totalwar. Those unit in campaign map seems pointless.

I cannot even transfer my planes to other aircraft and aircraft carrier.

No clue what you people are talking about. Im on the "break the line" series of missions. Take the 4 towns or whatever... I ve taken 2 of them so far.. still havent seen a single army roaming around at all. Nothing. Just lots of useless annoying gun emplacements.

Im experiencing a busted broken AI thats barely functional and they just now admitted it in the hotfix patch notes. The AI doesnt function as it should. Resulting in a tedious slog of boredom and disappointment. Which sums up the campaign perfectly in a nutshell atm
