I can recommend booking a hotel 20 floors high, the smog in the city creates a headache

and people burn whatever they can in their homes.

Really not the case. At least not right now. Maybe in 2 months time when it's actually cold out. Right now, the air is as clean as it gets (not much but not smoggy either). It is only really bad if you're sitting in a car, in the middle of a traffic jam in the center of the city. If you're anywhere else it's normal for a 4,5 million resident city, if not a bit better.

Athens is in a valley with little air movement and it's all combustion cars.

The valley thing is true, the little air movement not so much. It gets pretty windy because Athens is built between two mountains and the valley inside gets narrow, fast moving streams. It occasionally gets no wind but most of the times there's a breeze. Not to mention the past 5-8 days, that I started to feel like we were constantly in the middle of a monsoon. The air was blowing so fast I could feel it driving down a very central 3 lane road here. You don't usually expect to feel the air pushing your car anywhere other than in a large highway.

Don't mock T10 Belgian Battleship "A4"! The fastest and biggest warship Belgium had at the outbreak of WW2! Yes, it's a Mersey-class trawler that was scheduled to be scrapped, but we found out that we didn't have a ship anymore to carry our gold to the UK when Germany visited us again.

since its the anniversary of 200 years of hellenic revolution of 1821 its the perfect time to add the amored cruiser G.Averof with a 10 skill points admiral P. Kountouriotis in a special lower price for your Greek customers!!!

Is there a chance for the Armored Cruiser "RHS Averof" as a premium, in the future ?

georgios-averof.jpg

its a great warship, and it has done many great things during its lifetime.

plz add at least 1-2 greek warships on your incredible game, it will add one extra cool element in the game...

In addition to the above mentioned I have to point out:

1. The 2.500 naval history of Greece starting from Salamina naval battle up to date

2. The "lucky uncle George" (nick name of "Averof") and its first captain Pavlos Koundouriotis

3. The amazing history of "Adrias" (please check)...

4. Lots and lots of other history insidents regarding Greek naval history

5. The history of "Nautilus" (first ever seaplane used in war). 

6. The fact that Greek owned merchant navy is one of the three globaly (not bad for t 10mil. Nation

 

    Therefore I believe that the traditional unbreakable bond between Greeks and sea must be honored with two or three ships (including Averof) to the near future... I have to say that I feel allready honored as a Greek when  I see Greek captains in the co-op battles and we must thank you on this.

 

 

    Thank you for your time... looking forward to see you in Athens again!
