Import of Specialisation and resource points to Panzerkrieg

Post by Alexander1 »

I had saved some Specialization points in Blietzkrieg so I could use them in Panzerkrieg. Panzerkrieg seems to use them automatically to select specializations of its choice. While it gave me 3 specializations for 20 points (I had only 19 :) ), I would prefer to make the selection on my own.
Resource points that I tried to save as much as possible during last mission (both Wehrmacht ans SS) in Blietzkrieg seem to be taken away. I guess Russian partisans had been involved. :D
I assume it all was done on purpose to preserve game balance. Or was it just overlooked?

I remember this coming up in beta, but I cant remember how it was resolved. Bru, Erik?
You reloaded your last save from Blitzkrieg with the current Panzerkrieg build 5.2.0 and exported from there?

Yes, I tried to load last turn of Blietzkrieg and finished it. The game went straight to the end of campaign without offering to export the core as it happened back in October.

I started with fresh core units in Panzerkrieg beta. So, unfortunately very little experience in exporting/importing cores.

Did you try it manually, clicking on the cores tab in the map menu? There should be an export button. (Not at home now.)

Manual export was the solution! Commanders, Waffen SS are all available in Panzerkrieg now. Thanks for advice!!!

Hi,

I'm new to this, and hoping I'm doing this posting thing right. Sorry if I shounld have started a new thread with this:

Anbody noticed in the first mission of the new "Panzerkrieg" expansion directly after importing the cores from "Blitzkrieg" you are able to "disband" those units during deployment phase before buying them (and getting the RP, of course).

Also you are able to put air units (only those imported!) in the scenario (showing -3 air command points or more).
Try this (during deployment phase): Disband some of the imported Waffen-SS units for RPs, then go to the "destroyed units"-tab and place them on the battlefield from there. First, they will cost you nothing and second, it's possible to place more units than command points available (showing "-x" land command points). It is even possible to take em off the battlefield and disband them again for RP.

It's obviously a bug and should be fixed.
Haven't played further yet, because I'd be too tempted to place some StuKa's on the field. Still playing the old "Blitzkrieg 39-40/41-42" Campaings from Eric (a BIG THANKS for converting them, btw). I'll wait a week or two with the "Panzerkrieg" DLC, until the roughest bugs are fixed - was the same with "Kriegsmarine".

I liked so far the efficiency loss for artillery and the "transfer funds to waffen-SS" option.

Anyway, thanks for a great game,
GKnight

PS: Before someone asks: I'm using the 64bit, 5.2.1 version and also used it to export my cores from Blitzkrieg DLC to Kriegsmarine DLC

@Gabeknight: Good post and welcome to the forum. Yes, that sounds like a bug and the devs will take a look and fix it. Well done!
