The Entente: Battlefields World War I is a real-time strategy PC game published in 2004 by Buka Entertainment. It simulates World War I from the perspective of the five main combatants: Russia, France, Germany, Britain and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. It is similar in many ways to other real-time strategy games, focusing on economy and military paths to victory.
The single player battles in The Entente are the standard battles of the game. The first option for single player games are the missions. They are battles of the Great War that don’t fit any of the campaigns, particularly on the Eastern Front.
The second option is the combatants’ own campaigns. These represent some of the main battles that the countries fought that were linked in some way. The final option is random maps. Similar to the Cossacks series random and death matches, these games start with the player having a single building and several workers. The victory condition for these games is to destroy the enemy completely.
Games can also be played over the Internet using LAN with up to eight players.
The Entente: Battlefields World War I sports an array of different units from all aspects of the First World War and can be broken up into several different types-infantry, artillery, vehicles (including tanks and transport vehicles), ships, and planes.
Infantry are ranks of foot soldiers often supported by several officers (or workers), although specialist infantry such as machine gunners, flame throwers, elite foot soldiers, mortar teams, and mounted infantry can also be used.
