.
<p><b>Volunteers Joined Your Army</b></p>
<p>New volunteers have joined your ranks. They will follow your forces throughout the missions of this continent — or until they are killed, whatever comes first.</p>

<p><b>Shrine Secured</b></p>
<p>The sacred shrine has been captured. Its blessings flow into your war chest, and prestige is awarded for this triumph.</p>

<p><b>Ancient Wisdom</b></p>
<p>By touching the altar, you feel wiser. Your unit has gained experience.</p>

<p><b>Power of Balance (FG mass heal)</b></p>
<p>By invoking the magical Power of Balance, your forces are restored to equal strength.</p>

<p><b>Request for Reinforcements</b></p>
<p>A request for reinforcements has been received. Additional forces may soon be dispatched to the battlefield.</p>

<p><b>Loot Secured</b></p>
<p>Loot has been gathered. The war chest can never hold too many coins.</p>

<p><b>The Plague Unleashed</b></p>
<p>By invoking the plague, the enemy has suffered heavy losses as sickness and decay spread through their ranks.</p>
<p>The loss of strength is <b>temporary</b>; affected units that survive the plague will recover and return to full health.</p>

<p><b>The Plague</b></p>
<p>The plague has been cast upon your army. Sickness spreads through the ranks, and your forces are suffering casualties.</p>

<p><b>Town Liberated, But…</b></p>
<p>The town is free—yet an evil spell has drained experience from your unit.</p>

<p><b>Town Liberated, But…</b></p>
<p>The town is free—yet an evil spell has drained life from your unit.</p>

<p><b>SOS</b></p>
<p>Mercenaries have been called for, but they demand payment in advance. Prestige has been deducted, and the mercenaries will arrive next turn.</p>

<p><b>SOS Symbol</b></p>
<p>When one of your units occupies the location marked with this symbol, mercenaries will be drafted to aid your cause.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> this will cost prestige.</p>

<p><b>Rescued Ally</b></p>
<p>The Priest of Handola has joined your army. He feared you would never come to free him from the skeletons roaming the temple.</p>

<p><b>Hero Recruited</b></p>
<p>The hero Shandel has joined your army, ready to serve your cause.</p>

<p><b>Prisoner Freed</b></p>
<p>By freeing Borric from his prison in the cave, he joins your army.</p>

Development update:

All 8 scenarios for Lord Marcas are done, i begin testing soon.
Here is a sample text after the final mission of the second continent:
.
<p>The enemy has been crushed beyond recovery. Their command is broken, their banners lie in ruins, and the battlefield belongs wholly to you. What resistance remained was swept aside by decisive leadership and overwhelming force.</p>
<p>This victory reshapes the campaign. Allies gain confidence, enemies lose heart, and your army marches onward with momentum firmly on its side. The path ahead is clear—for now.</p>
<p>With this triumph, the <b>second continent is liberated</b>. <b>Aelcar the Shadow Wizard is defeated</b>, his reign broken at last. As peace returns, the volunteers who answered your call lay down their arms; they leave your army and return home, their duty fulfilled.</p>
<p>Your army has been preserved and will be <b>saved for deployment on the third continent</b>, where new battles and greater dangers await.</p>
<p>Your army deserves a short rest before continuing the campaign against <b>Ssazikar the Snake</b>.</p>

Thank you, dear author. As soon as I finish Toby's Celtic campaign, I'll start your second chapter of fairy tales.

Development Update:
The creation of the third continent has begun. In the original Fantasy General, the player had to choose between two scenarios. For Fantasy Corps, I decided to begin this continent with a new opening scenario, including a few naval units (which will be part of the next GME patch). After this new introductory scenario, the player will then be presented with that choice.

After King Dragga (first continent) and Aelcar the Shadow Wizard (second continent), a sprite has now been created for Ssazikar the Snake (third continent).

The third continent contains more scenarios than the first two combined. As a result, I decided to split it into two parts.

In order to recreate the maps as closely as possible to the original, I am also playing Fantasy General from time to time to take the necessary screenshots. The intro briefings are authentic copies of the original as well.

Обновление разработки:
Создание третьего континента началось. В оригинальной игре Fantasy General игроку приходилось выбирать один из двух сценариев. В Fantasy Corps я решил начать этот континент с нового вступительного сценария, включающего несколько морских юнитов (они станут частью следующего патча GME). После этого нового вступительного сценария игроку будет предложен тот самый выбор.

После King Dragga (первый континент) и Aelcar the Shadow Wizard (второй континент) был создан спрайт для Ssazikar the Snake (третий континент).

Третий континент содержит больше сценариев, чем первые два вместе взятые. В связи с этим я решил разделить его на две части.

Чтобы максимально точно воссоздать карты оригинала, я время от времени играю в Fantasy General, делая необходимые скриншоты. Вступительные брифинги также являются аутентичными копиями оригинала.

And so I began the second chapter of our fairy tale. My remaining core troops, now veterans, moved on to a new chapter, but I am a little confused by the translation in the purchase menu. For example, my fairy-tale eagle is named after the Soviet fighter plane I-16, which was called “Rat” in Spain during their civil war, etc. Can this be corrected somehow?

Did you install the latest patch, GME patch 3?
It is likely an equipment file mess-up, the equipment file i have been providing contains no WW2 entries.

Вы установили последнее обновление, патч GME 3?
Скорее всего, это ошибка в файле оборудования — файл оборудования, который я предоставлял, не содержит записей времён Второй мировой войны.

Yes, I installed all the patches and even the music.

[nikivdd]

My theory, something is loaded into GME from another mod. On my end, i did not encounter a problem importing and upgrading my army in the second continent.

Maybe I just have the Russian version )

It will be sufficient to translate the tasks and pop-up messages into Russian.

Most likely, it really is a localization issue. Since I started Chapter 2 in English, the units in the purchase menu have names from the general's fantasy. Let's take a closer look at the screenshots and replays. I'll try loading it now after changing the language to Russian.


It's probably better to leave the unit names as they are, because when you change the language from the save file, the gibberish in Russian starts again. For example, the guy in the hot air balloon is called an anti-tank gun, and so on.

Hello - I have a question... I have both Fantasy General and Panzer Corps on Steam... where are the RAR files extracted to and what is GME? much thx

Hey Silberfisch, good to see you here
All the download files can be found in the first post of this thread. They are kept up-to-date.

The campaign files for Marcas, Krell,.... need to be extracted in documents\my games\panzer corps\mods
The GME part can be installed in two different ways. I don't use GME myself, but all information can be found here:
viewtopic.php?t=27158

There is also a second way to be able to play.
01. Go to the directory on your hard drive where Panzer Corps main game is installed. Mine installation is on steam... program files(x96)->steam -> steamapps->common> panzer corps Copy the folder Panzer Corps
Copy the folder Panzer Corps to a new destination... for example c:\
Rename the copied folder to Fantasy Corps.
Go into the Fantasy Corps directory, select Panzercorps.exe and create a shortcut to the desktop
Rename the shortcut on your desktop to Fantasy Corps
Unzip the GME part files, unpacked you get new folders like Fantasy Corps GME, Fantasy Corps GME patch 1 and so on...
In the order i posted them (start with the one with the biggest size), copy the content of those folders into (my example here), c:\Fantasy Corps and when asked to overwrite, do so.
Once this is done you can launch Fantasy Corps with the shortcut, start the game, go to the manilla folder on the right, then you should get the list of campaigns available for Fantasy Corps.

Ok, the 1st, 2nd continent folders should be placed in the mods folder.
It is the Fantasy Corps GME part that should be loaded with GME.
