A project i had in mind for the last ten years but the knowledge and tools always seemed to fail me until now... well i hope.

So will this be like a re-imagining of the old Fantasy General?

[bondjamesbond]

Funny reminds me of this mod and good old fantasy general ))))

Hello, that sounds like a very interesting project you’re working on.
Just a quick question: will it be a standalone mod or a campaign?
I previously worked on a project involving the Roman Empire, but it didn’t work out as a “campaign only,” since sounds and animations can’t be changed that way. For me, it only functioned properly as a standalone mod.

And I have to admit… when you mentioned fantasy, I immediately thought of a dragon — so I ended up designing one for fun.

In some way yes. I will see what what can be done or not for the scenarios but an exact copy it won't be.

I assume a standalone mod. There is a complete new armory that has to be build from scratch but the possibilities for units and campaigns seem to be endless. UI is the biggest challenge and i know i won't be able to change it all as i lack the expertise.

Actually, I feel the same way.
I’ve taught myself everything I know about modding this game over many years — a lot of it simply by trying things out and seeing what works. That’s exactly what I love about this game, and why I still play it today: you can mod what feels like 80% of it and let your imagination run wild.

It’s a pity that it isn’t supported and maintained further by the developer, like Age of Empires, for example.

I would like to have a small campaign out as fast as possible and then i will take it from there. The armory will be very small still but sufficient to create this introduction.

For army recruits, you need to be able to hit the target
.
In the armory i have assigned flag 0 (Germany orig.)to the "Human Faction". Flag 26 (Blue team flag orig.) as the "Human sparring team" but i might still change that name if need be. I am also considering where to place the "Human" units from Fantasy General.

"Under construction"

[Tobi72]

I’m wondering how magicians would work in your mod, if you decide to include them.
As artillery, perhaps — ranged attacks, indirect damage?

No heavy armor values, few movement points,
range of 1–2 hexes (instead of 2–3),
very little ammunition (e.g., 2–3).

And what would the animation look like, and how would the sound effects sound?
I have to admit, I’ve never actually played Fantasy General.That’s why I’m currently trying to imagine how that would work in Panzer Corps.

'Cool... Fantasy Corps nice idea.
A little inspiration from me for the project'

[PeteMitchell]

This is cool!
Is there also one on the Roman Empire?

[nikivdd]

Temples, shrines, ruins for goodies (or enemy unit spawn) like in Fantasy General.

It’s a very ambitious project that will take an enormous amount of time for a single person

Fantasy General did not have transports, infantry for instance had more movement points or could use a spell to move further.
