Order of Battle: the new Import tool

Post by AlbertoC »

Last week we spoke of the specialization system coming with next patch, but today we’re going to talk of something different, something new.

Order of Battle: World War II will have a Import core army tool, allowing linked campaigns in which players can carry over their core armies. The idea is to link together campaigns which will form a larger mega campaign. At first it’ll be only Morning Sun linked with Rising Sun, but we plan to make use of this future as we release more campaigns (for instance, we’ll certainly link the upcoming Blitzkrieg with any future-and-yet-unannounced-but-certainly-coming campaign featuring the Wehrmacht).

How does it work? It’s quite simple. At any point during a campaign (although it’s best if you do it once the campaign has been completed) you’ll be able to select the button Export core from your campaign -> Core army screen. You can then save your Core army.

Image

At that point, start the next campaign. You’ll be prompted with this screen, asking if you intend to import a Core army.

Image

Click yes, and you’ll be able to select which one you’d like to import.

Image

Select the one you want to use, and there you go! Now you’ll start with a set of units carried over from your previous campaign. They are not free, though! You still have to buy them like you’d buy a new unit, but they retain the name and 30% of the experience they had, as if they had been destroyed. That is, naturally, for balance purposes.

Image

That would be all regarding the Import tool, but there’s something else we’d like to show you today. Players who own the Winter War DLC will have access to a unique division in Blitzkrieg, after they research the Waffen SS specialization: I’m talking of the SS Wiking division, a completely unique division unlike any other in the Wehrmacht.

Very good changes in the game that plow the difference to other games, but it is also very important two things.
It is also very realistic incorporating Core at any time of the campaign, giving veterans the option of reinforcements in the middle of the campaign. As they actually are in reality reinforcements

1-That you can rename the Core
2-That you can also Import Commanders, and would be very well incorporate medals as in the commander or Heroes giving more reality Game.

What does the rightmost medal in the last screenshot represent? That's the one remaining mystery :)

It seems to me it is the Medal "For the defense of Stalingrad"(or Caucasus) but I might be wrong. :wink:

.................................
Campaigns nation: I think it would be better, would not see a line of campaigns of a nation.
It is better to click the icon nation and make them look their campaigns alone, without Linas on the map.
