They also utilise alternate weather and time of day effects as a way of achieving more mileage. The four maps on offer - East Prussia, Poland, Carpathians and Galicia - may seem a little stingy by today’s standards, especially with the developers stating that the game is content complete despite still being in Early Access, but each one is vast and most incorporate a variety of landscapes, from dense pine forests and grassy fields to more fortified areas.
Having seen first-hand how a lack of players effectively rendered Verdun unplayable on Xbox One, the inclusion of bots in Tannenberg is not only welcome, but necessary, given the larger maps and numbers need to occupy them.
While a bot will never truly replicate the unpredictability and resulting challenge that human opposition offers, it was pleasantly surprising to find that Tannenberg’s AI soldiers weren’t completely useless, and were even able to best us on more than a few occasions. Like Verdun before it, Tannenberg is a niche game with a relatively small following, and there are going to be times when there just aren’t enough bodies around to fill a server. To keep the large-scale battles feeling just that, bots have been introduced (complete with region appropriate names) to fill in the gaps on either side whenever a human presence is lacking.
#TANNENBERG STEAM SERIES#
A standalone expansion rather than full-blown sequel, Tannenberg incorporates many of the features – both good and bad - that garnered Verdun a cult following on Steam, while also introducing a number of new ones that help improve the player experience whilst retaining the authentic wartime action the WW1 Game Series is known for.īy moving things east, M2H and Blackmill have been able to leave behind the relatively restrictive nature of trench warfare and introduce larger, freer flowing battles in Tannenberg’s main mode, Maneuver, that not only increases the player count to 64, but, the game reliably informs us, typified the sort of conflict fought between the Central Powers and Russian-led Entente forces on this front.
