Occasionally you'll get answers from people affiliated with Bytro and they have fancy green signs, but as far as I can tell they're just players with a bit of authority. This alone would be more complex than the rest of the game.Īs to who we are, we're just other players who use the forum. Besides, you would need to add in many new systems for this to work new diplomatic relationships for puppets, some way for people to take turns in a peace conference without 'woops, the person ahead of you isn't going to log in for a another day so I guess you'll just have to wait' being a constant thing, some new system of wars that groups multiple countries together on a side in a war instead of every war just being a thing, some way to keep track of what land that country controlled before this war, etc etc etc. The goal of CoW is to conquer the world in real time with other real people, and breaking the pace with a peace conference just doesn't fit in. I'm all in favor of deep and complex historical games but that's just not the tone CoW is going for.
