Difficulty: Rommel
Core: Not imported
Result: DV on turn 17 (on 2nd try)
Remaining prestige: 1500 (no green replacement, very little Elite replacement as long as unit can survive the scenario)
Loss: No core lost, though many were down to 3, 4 strength (2nd try, at least 3 core were lost during 1st ...

First, very much honored to be able to beta test this wonderful DLC. Many thanks.

Sorry just got time around to start playing this DLC. Chose the Rommel difficulty as I like to micro-manage prestige. Since most fellow testers imported their DLC41 cores, I decided to not to. I'm generally happy with ...

So, what are the changes in V1.06 beta?

I guess it may be good to allow Recon to move and resupply in the same turn (so just need to make it available without the 'move again and backspace' trick?), but will this throw some game balance off? Right now Recons are much cheaper than a low end Tank with comparable stats, yet with better ...

Thanks for a complete solution to this matter.

Also many thanks for the "chess" mode, the RNG change in 1.05, and the 'ultimate difficulty' level :)

While we are at it, can this little bug be fixed: after a Recon moved but didn't attack, if it moved again but then backspaced, the Recon will be ...

well now there is the cheat "chess" which removes all the randomness, which is good to try.

Interestingly, now the changes will affect existing campaign games. The current scenario will use old rules, but once you proceed to the next scenario, it will start using the new rul.es.

Is this right?

Many thanks to El_Condoro, I went back and took a further look and found the problem. In the original gamerules.pzdat file, the 4 values of ScnReplaceCost, ScnEReplaceCost, CamReplaceCost, CamEReplaceCost were separated only by a space, not a tab. When I inserted a tab, then these values would take ...

I tried to reinstall V1.00 and it also behaved the same, that is, just these 5 parameters won't change. However, I thought I once made changes with some of those in one of the earlier versions, though I am not sure.

Main campaign.

I tried DLC too, it had the same result.

Yes, of course it's on new games, not existing ones. You see the other parameters got changed in the new games, except these 5.

Hi, when I tried to change these 5 parameters in Gamerules.pzdat: GreenReplacementsExp, ScnReplaceCost, ScnEReplaceCost, CamReplaceCost, CamEReplaceCost, and start a new game, somehow they won't take effect and the game still uses the default rule. While all the other parameters I changed were all ...

Sorry, my bad. This is not new in V1.05. I reinstalled V1.00 and it's still the same. I can change the other parameters and they will take effect when I start a new game, except these 5 above mentioned (I haven't tried everything).

So are these 5 parameters hard-coded in the game and can't be ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I found all parameters changed in the gamerules file will take effect when I start a new game except these 5 parameters: GreenReplacementsExp, ScnReplaceCost, ScnEReplaceCost, CamReplaceCost, CamEReplaceCost.

Am I doing something wrong here? Can someone confirm?

In V1.05, when I tried to change some parameters, like the GreenReplacementsExp, ScnReplaceCost, ScnEReplaceCost, etc, in the "gamerules" file, somehow they don't take effect anymore, while some other parameters, like the experience bonus rules, still did.

I remember in earlier versions I was able ...

I must be a very poor writer. Most responses seem to not quite get what I wanted to say...my apology.

When I wrote

I hope the Tac Bombers can also switch to Naval Bombers,

I meant to switch it to be anti-naval, not to be Level Bombers.

You'd have to waste AT LEAST two turns with your strat bomber, one for flying to the airfield and the second for performing the switch.

No I don't mean to switch the Strat Bombers. They can't be switched. I meant to switch the Tac Bombers. Historically effective naval bombers (dive and topedo ...

BTW, when control-click, can an expected Exp gain also be displayed next to the expected kill/supression? Many times Exp gain is a very important consideration when choosing which unit to attack which target. Right now I still don't know the specifics of how experience gain is calculated, and when ...

One of the greatest advances of PC over PG is that the Unit balance is far better now, and a variety of cheaper units have found their usefulness in a core. Must congrat the dev team for achieving this! Though some further balancing may still be needed, like most if not all AAs should be allowed to ...

I just checked the V1.04, seems it only refuels aircraft directly on top and can refuel level bombers as well.

Can someone confirm this?
