I can't say I am all that impressed with Imperial Glory. It is fun to
play up to a certain point then, it tends to lag. One of the main
reasons I can't say it is as good as RTW or MTW or, Empire Earth 1 and
2 is the lack of being able to recruit large armies and, only being
able to send three armies at a time into a country you are invading. If
I have ten superior armies setting outside a nation, what is the
reasoning behind the game's not allowing me to go in and vanquish my
foe? Another complaint is being unable to reinforce my armies when they
have suffered enough losses to need reinforcements. I had an army with
only 23 men left and the ominous red cross above it. I sent in one of
my better equipped and healthy armies and sent this one back to the
barracks for reinforcements. To my surprise and consternation, I could
not reinforce this army, even though it would be worthless in
battle again as it was. I also find using naval power to be somewhat
lacking. Why can I not link my vessels into a convoy and attack my
enemy in force rather than with only one ship? I have noticed the AI
which seems to be extremely good at winning, can hem you up and then
team up on you. The map used in IG is also rather dark and this makes
it difficult to know where you are going, when using sea travel. I read
on another forum where someone was wanting cheat codes. I use these
myself and, see nothing wrong with cheat codes but, I don't know if
they would help this much in this game. I have a way of acquiring all
of the money I need and, this seems to be adequate. I do wish the game
had allowed modding, however. This is one of the reasons I like RTW so
well. If you don't like something you can change or tailor it. Oh,
well. I will continue to play the game. I paid forty bucks for it minus
taxes and, I certainly donot intend to throw it away. Eventually,
perhaps, someone will come up with some trainers, etc., to make up for
the shortcomings IG now has. Cheers,
