Order of battle coming from PZC?

Post by deafknight »

As a long time addict of PZC, i tried it and find the gameplay very disturbing :)

what is the meaning of the numbers you you target an opponent? the losses? is there a tutorial or a video explaining the gameplay, because it's a great gap from pzc (which is a good thing, but i'm having issues to adapt)

Have you tried reading the manual first?
The numbers are predicted losses you inflict or suffers in the attack btw.

Welcome to OOB. I am also a long term PzC player who transitioned to OOB. The funny thing is I was also very confused regarding the battle outcome predictions. The reason is very simple: PzC shows losses done by each side while OOB shows damage done by each side.

Additionally I recommend not trying to play OOB like PzC. The game looks similar but plays very differently. Actually I would even say that trying to play OOB like PzC will result in very frustrating gameplay, therefore take your time and first try to learn the most important thing from the game manual - how unit efficiency works.

I had a thousand hours in PzC before buying OOB during Steam summer sale in July. I haven't touched PzC since.
