Liberation of Europe (European Wars) is a military online strategy about the Second World War with great historical accuracy and presentation of the era as a whole, both in terms of passage and in terms of units. All art and the graphics itself with traced soldiers and animation are made in the style of bright propaganda posters from the times of the Great Patriotic War.

All actions take place in real time, but in a step-by-step mode, the main combat theatrical performance takes place on a global map. The graphic component will remind you of such famous games as Blitzkrieg and Behind Enemy Lines, but the scale and game mechanics look like the popular Total War series.

In the game Liberation of Europe you have a unique opportunity to rewrite history in your own way, you will have the choice of which army to join. In total, there are three main parties to the conflict that launched the most grandiose war in the history of mankind: the USSR, the Third Reich and the Allies, which includes the USA, Britain and France. In this browser-based war game, science and economics are an integral part, as this is your main tool in the fight for the liberation of the European continent.

This project has become widespread in social networks and on the RBK Games gaming portal in particular, where you can play for free on a Russian server, and if you like something, buy something in the premium store. To take part in the great war, you must register on the portal mentioned above, and then everything depends on your success.

Plot

You won’t have to talk about the plot for a long time, the events take place during the Second World War, Hitler unleashed a conflict in which the most developed countries of that time were drawn. The player has three sides to choose from: the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht, and the Allied Forces. Depending on which side you choose, you will have to defend Moscow, Berlin, or London and Paris. The game has the ability to turn history on its head and change the outcome of this confrontation.


Interface and control

The interface in the Liberation of Europe is so rich that the exclamations of the players that the training is too long can be safely considered unfounded. On the global map, it consists of a top, bottom, and sidebar. On the top is your portrait, when you click on it, statistics appear. You can also change the side of the conflict at any time, but all progress will be lost. Here on it you can see a list of cities and their population in order to collect taxes. There are three indicators of points, such as capture, tournament and tax.


Resource indicators: commodities, money and gold (premium currency). On the side there are active events to which you can connect. Below are lists of cities with factories, markets, factories, shops and banks that currently exist in them, as well as a rating and a list of friends. After completing the training, you should not have any questions regarding management.

Gameplay

The gameplay is boldly divided into economic with elements of urban development, where you need to extract resources to organize and complete the army. And on the military, where in turn-based, but not automatic, your game success in the Liberation of Europe depends entirely on you. Starting from the stage of recruiting, training, and ending with the deployment of troops on the battle map. After all, you can arrange your superior troops in this way and carry out an attack on a weak enemy, while demolishing 10% of the composition, and when counterattacking, he will demolish all 90%. Here the rule of whoever has a larger gun is cooler, it does not always work. Careful selection of units to capture a particular city is one of the main success factors in a combat operation.


After the capture of the city, the first thing to do is to resume the production of goods, because before the surrender of the city, its owners destroy the factories so that the enemy cannot get valuable buildings. Having taken possession of the capital, immediately throw all the resource forces into its development, since it gives six times more resources per turn than an ordinary city. One day you get tired of butting with bots (AI), and in this case, PvP is provided, where you can challenge someone to a duel and, in case of a successful battle, receive a significant reward. Tournaments are held daily, where you can compete for a place in the standings with other players and get medals that increase prestige. The combat mechanics here are identical to PvE, but it will be much more difficult to defeat a real player, so take the strongest soldiers in such modes.

Army and combat system

In Liberation of Europe you will see all four main branches of the military, both on land, at sea and in the air, you can also build defensive structures. For the development of technology, it is necessary to pay due attention to two sections, the barracks, where the purchase of equipment and soldiers takes place directly, and the academy, where technologies, skills for upgrading and opening different units of a certain type are studied. As you level up, new types of weapons will be available to you, but in turn, you will need to research the necessary technologies. At your disposal:

  • Infantry;
  • Armored vehicles;
  • Aviation;
  • Fleet;
  • Defensive fortifications - trenches, pillboxes, fortifications.

Each combat class has three main characteristics: numbers, damage and ammo. Each group of units has a table of effectiveness against other units. The combat system looks like a card game, you will have cards with images of units available and before the battle you need to form your own set of cards to participate in the battle. Next, you choose which of your units you want to attack which group of enemy troops, some units can hit multiple targets. And then watch how the battle takes place in automatic mode based on your arrangements. After a successful skirmish, it will be necessary to rebuild the city from the ruins, but you can complete this procedure for gold in one click.


Economics and science

Success on the battlefield directly depends on your economic success. There are six types of different buildings that can be upgraded to increase productivity, such as: factories, plants, combines, markets, shops and banks. The higher their level and quantity, the more resources and money you will receive. But that's not all there are special economic buildings, such as the White House, the Department of Industry, the Federal Reserve Bank and the National Reserve, which promote upgrades and increase profits. In addition, there is a function to collect taxes from the population, which can be used periodically depending on the available action points.


Science helps in the game Liberation of Europe to discover new units, which at the time of the review were 145 and improve them. For these purposes, there are three academies in the science tab: Ground Forces, Airborne Forces and Fortification. Improving one or another academy increases defensive, quantitative, numerical and damage indicators. Each side has 45 squads, 9 from each type, access to them is gradually opening up. That is, as in similar games, one cannot ignore the study of technology and successfully build an army for oneself.


Advantages and disadvantages of the game

Summarizing

Since the theme of the Second World War is widely known, the game Liberation of Europe for the first time months after its release made a splash and in a couple of years it is already available on all major gaming portals, such as RBK Games, 101XP, but the real recognition was received thanks to social networks. The beauty of this project is that you can literally change history. For example, playing as the Wehrmacht, you can defeat the USSR, the Allies and occupy the whole world. What you might not like is the training that is too long by our standards and not the usual hand-drawn graphics, but the gameplay is pleasing with its diversity and not tension.

DESCRIPTION

The Liberation Game was created on the basis of Buddhist cosmology by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, Emeritus Professor at Naples Eastern University and master of the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. This game is played on a large colored field - a mandala, where each position symbolizes one of the dimensions of being. The goal of the game is to achieve Liberation from samsara and gain the Dharmakaya dimension, the state of ultimate Enlightenment.

To play, you need to have a board for the game Liberation, a guide with instructions and moves, two dice, a chip for each participant (included). The game goes like this:

Each participant starts the game by placing his chip in the "World of People" circle. When it comes to a player's turn to make a move, he:

1. Rolls two dice;
2. Refers to the manual page that corresponds to the cell on which the player's token is located;
3. Finds the appropriate lot on this page and makes a move.

In accordance with the number dropped on the dice, the player either remains in the same dimension, or moves to another, or follows additional instructions if there are special symbols. The game continues until all players have reached the Dharmakaya dimension - the blue sphere in the center of the circle, which symbolizes full realization.

The game is equipped with numbered dice, as well as dice with Tibetan syllables ‘a A HA SHA SA MA. These syllables are symbols of six lok(Skt. fate of being) or dimensions of existence and correspond to the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In the game, you can use both the first and second methods.

The game includes:

  • cubes;
  • Chips;
  • playing field;
  • The book of rules.

Number of players: from 2 to 10.
Game time: 1-3 hours depending on the number of players.
Age: 6 years to infinity.

The text of the game "Liberation" was compiled by me in 1995 during a vacation in the resort of Hua Hin in Thailand. Upon my return to Merigar, I transferred the text to a computer, translating the Tibetan calligraphy into a printable form. I later gave a copy to my student Jim Valby, who made the original English version of this text.

At a Dzogchen Ati retreat in Russia in 1998, I realized that thirteen talva and measurements of eight classes. As a result, 108 dimensions were obtained, which are described and used in the game.

Later, I gave this text to my student Laurie Denyer with instructions on the structure of building a mandala and asked her to make drawings according to the instructions. Laurie put all her energy into this project and got an excellent result. Her work has been invaluable to the realization of this project - I am very grateful to her.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu

The game "Liberation" was created based on the ideas of Buddhist cosmology by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, a professor at Naples Oriental University and a master of the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. This game is played on a large colored field - a mandala, where each position symbolizes one of the dimensions of being. The goal of the game is to achieve Liberation from samsara and gain the Dharmakaya dimension, the state of ultimate Enlightenment.

Liberation Game is an amazing board game created by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. It is both a game and a way to help deal with various aspects of our states. The game consists of a playing field divided into 108 dimensions or spaces, several game accessories and a booklet telling players where they should place their "Tokens", which can be located in literally every cell from the Dharmakaya to the Hell of Various Desires. The goal of the game is to achieve Dharmakaya or liberation.


To do this, each player rolls the dice and places his pawn in a specific, spatial dimension, and moves in this manner as instructed until the next roll. From the higher dimensions, it is still possible to go to the lower ones, perhaps going through the human dimension. From the human dimension, you can go anywhere.
All players start from this dimension. Then, depending on the throw of the dice, one begins one's ascent up the path of Atiyoga, or one from the list of paths leading to Liberation, or moves down to the formless dimensions, the bardo, and any of the six lokas. The Tibetan version of this game was invented by the great 13th century master Sakya Pandita. Designed by Namkhai Norbu, the Liberation game can be played by as many people as can fit around the game board.


In the game, it becomes clear how difficult it is to achieve liberation, how much it is worth appreciating the opportunity of a precious birth in the higher dimensions, and how difficult it is to be free when born in the lower dimensions. And once having reached the Dharmakaya, it is necessary to wait until the last player has completed the game, because the game is not over until EVERYONE is released, and no one ever really plays alone.

Liberation of Europe - a new economic and military strategy in the browser. The setting of the Second World War will appeal to many. You have to decide on the side - the USA, the USSR or Germany. Europe has long been mired in war, and you will have to prevent this. Capture cities, build industrial buildings in them, accumulate resources and hire troops. In addition, you can learn new types of units, as well as improve them. For fans of PvP, the game has a tournament mode.

Overview of the game Liberation of Europe

Environment

Of course, the game tries in various ways to impose the atmosphere of World War II on you, and sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it doesn't. There is practically no historical accuracy in the game, but in fact this does not interfere with the entire development of events. Participation in the war, however, will not take all of Europe, but the action will take place throughout its land.

Game process

Even in economic strategies, now you have to choose a class, or rather a side for which you will liberate Europe. You are given the choice of Germany - Berlin, the USSR - Moscow, the USA - you will play for the captured city as a result of the landing.

Next, you will find interesting economic elements that one way or another should lead you to build up and military power. Before you will be a map on which cities prepared for capture are marked with green flags. On the right you can find a description of the quest, thanks to the passage of which you will receive a reward.

As you take over a city, you will engage in combat that is similar in style to board games or something like that. The enemy will have a certain number of units opposing yours. When choosing a unit that will fight against the enemy, you must take into account many characteristics - damage, numbers, ammunition and attack ratios. The outcome of the battle will be formed from the little things, and the main thing is your readiness for war. Of course, at first there will be difficulties, but with experience it will pass.

Economy in the game

The biggest part of the game is the economic one, without which everything else is impossible. You will be given the main currencies - money and goods that you get through the collection of taxes, production and construction of buildings. You will need money and goods to hire troops, build buildings, and then improve and upgrade. Gold is a currency bought with real money. It allows you to make the game easier in many ways. And, unfortunately, a little dishonest in this game.

As you already understood, it will take a long time to tinker with the economy in order to become successful from a military point of view.


There is an interesting button at the bottom of the screen - the Central District. Here you can find information about army upgrades, what units are in the game, learn more about the economy, etc.
  1. Economy- in this tab you will find additional information about production and obtaining resources.
  2. Army- in this tab you can study new types of troops, as well as hire them.
  3. The science- this tab goes into more detail about upgrading buildings and reveals new aspects of the economy.
The game has a system of daily rewards, only if you participate in a PvP tournament, player against player. You won't lose anything by participating, but you will gain resources.


I will say a few words about the graphics - it resembles a board game transferred to the browser.

Summing up

The liberation of Europe turned out to be a good military-economic strategy. Pros: strong economic component; well-executed battles. Minuses: the accumulation of power is sometimes a long and thankless process.
