The update completely changed the game for the negative in my view. The game used to be challenging, hadn't reached the 150 trs in one round goal yet after a lot of tries. First time after the update get 253 easily and note during the process, that the terrain was easier, tris more numerous in addition to easier to spot, and overall not nearly as challenging :-(
awesome game, two suggestions:
1.display more stats on character and have them reflect how they change with gear,
2.a option for a harder difficulty setting, or a hardcore mode, that gives better rewards or unlocks different content as a reward
The Soviets are not overpowered, you just have to fight smart. Split your armies a little bit and conquer the open lands, it's a game of production. Chechnya and the other country in the far southeast of soviet territory have very high incomes 24 and 11. Also don't over look the usefulness of strategies. If the soviets mass one very large army keep them chasing you without engaging them as you carve through their territory and wear them down using air raids etc from the strategies.
Also YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONQUER THE SOVIET CITIES IN THE ORDER SPECIFIED IN THE OBJECTIVES. TAKE THEM AS CONVENIENT AND PLACE PRESSURE ON MORE THAN ONE AT THE SAME TIME. There may be a lot of give and take with those cities but eventually you can easily accumulate all the land around them and hold the cities for bigger stretches until your production is high enough to wipe out the enemy.
Those complaining about lack of gold/luck just need to make better decks, (add more gold cards). I use a deck that requires no iron at all, and so I have space for extra gold and it works very effectively.
Improve your strategy and quit complaining that the computer "cheats"
Decent game, but the interface for looking and sorting cards needs improvement, stack duplicate cards and make it easier to navigate.
