DLC and Main Campagin Intergation

[doc99]

How will this interact as it currently stands,they distinct.

[huertgenwald]

As i understood it there are no interactions whatsover.

But you can move your DLC core units from DLC to DLC (DLC 39 -> DLC 40 for example)

[doc99]

Would it not be interesting if the DLC could at, some point, branch into the main campagin at the major battle as presented in the main campagin?

[huertgenwald]

I guess that's difficult because :

a) experience is handled differently in the DLC (it's capped in each DLC; 2 stars in '39, 3 stars in '40)

b) The AI is handled quite differently in the DLCs (as i understand it DLCs are rather more difficult on the woole), so your DLC core troops
might not mix well into a "vanilla campaign".

[doc99]

Hmm...interesting points but I would think that the caps could be standardized and the AI re-set for vertical continuity relatively eaisly

This is true, and it works like this:

Step1
Start a new game.


Step2
Play a DLC Campaign.


Step3
Finish the DLC campaign.


Step4
Start a new game again.


Step5
Select the next DLC campaign.


Step6
Answer this new prompt:


Step7
Select exactly which core you would like to import (this screen only appears if you have multiple cores saved)


Step8
Resume playing:

Very good and many thanks--BTW the fourth option on the screen of step 2 seems quite interesting--any comments?

That's what a user made, custom campaign looks like now, under the new 1.04 system.

Previously, anyone making custom campaigns had to 'overwrite' one of the existing stock campaigns.
