This is a theoretical question of course, it would depend on the conditions and not necessarily mainly on the financial conditions. Making mods for free provides almost unlimited creative freedom and I think it would be hard to give up a large chunk of this freedom so I would only do so if I can be sure that I the end product lives up to my standards.
That is exactly the most perfect answer that I would expect from someone who created such a master piece. One of the funny results of my screwed up recording of my voice on the latest broadcast. It brought forth the outstanding layered sound you have added to your mod. I love playing with the sound of battle always ringing in my ears. That was a brilliant touch. Not enough can be said to the care and detail you gave to each sound, graphic, picture and historicity that goes with every single unit on this map.

I love to sip it slowly when I am not broadcasting. I have looked closer at the details and extra awesomeness you have packed into this great work.

One more option, some cities\ports should not have the possibility to buy there new units. In other words create another terrain option but with the same properties defend\attack.

I think McGuba has this in his latest BE version.

Towed AT guns should entrench as fast as Infantry.
I'm not sure how entrenchment rate works - it appears to allow fractional values as some units take a while to entrench, and some have an upper limit (unless scripted to increase). If so, then it would be nice to have DefEng trait which allows faster entrenchment for that unit and for adjacent units (engineers know how to set up better defence works and have better equipment).
NavRadar trait which adds +2NA and +2 spotting to the unit with it. Capital Ships, Structures and Tac Bombers within 4 hexes get +1 NA. It could also reduce sub evade chance by 5% or 10 percentage points.
Initiative cap should be applied before hero bonus is added. Initiative hero means you do better scouting, are better prepared etc. The hero bonus shouldn't be affected by cap as the unit is still better at setting patrols and pickets, having a good response plan and good attack plan.

New option in the 'Game rules' section that enables all the new PzC2 features (artillery suppression lasts entire turn, defensive anti tanks fire, planes always return to the base etc)

My first suggestion for Panzer Corps3.
1 Rare
Add new Rare trait, which is an integer that sets how many you can have in your army.it would probably work as that's 3 max you can own, not 3 you can deploy and another few in reserve.
Upgrades can have same or different value. So nowo the Afrika Korps can field say 3 Panzer 3H, but also 2 Pannzer 3G and 4 Panzer 3F.
Positive value for Rare trait means it becomes unrestricted 3 or 6 months after first available, negative value it is fixed forever.
2 Expensive
An integer like RoF which sets the percentage price premium within the first 3 or 6 months.

Just to keep this thread on the first page... I still hope someone from the developers or publishers will respond one day?

Perhaps it makes sense to re-post this thread in the PzC2 forum section?

I think it would never be official because it would mean 2 things.
1) That McGuba couldn't continue to tweak as there would be a standard version of his great scenario.
2) This would mean they would have to acknowledge that modders could create something worth money. They would not want to remunerate creators for their efforts.

2 months left... so what we get? Nothing? Or some lousy discount on the game? Not great, not terrible on 10th anniversary. :(

Hi again guys, sorry to no update trello board with last ideas, lack of official response dissapointed me about the project, anyway I did include following posted ideas reaching the huge number 115... what indicates the game is alive and people wants more about it

- split the target type "Air" into two types: "HighAir" and "LowAir" targets
- a choice screen so to be able to select between heroes
- AI can buy aircraft
- "Hiding": Ground Units in forest/city are only revealed if enemy unit has one more spotting
- Map designers put Anti tank (with close defense=0) in open terrain
- description in editor manual about unit stances (defense vs. hold position active)
- User can play MP game with file bigger than 10Mb, in example max 50Mb. Right now MP prefers only small maps.
- Pop-up units can move but not attack on their first turn.
- map-dependent shooting range
- auto-supply at the end of turn for every unit where possible
- some cities\ports should not have the possibility to buy there new units
- Wrong hero name: Eric Litzke
- Cannot get medal if kills are done on AI turn
- Towed AT guns should entrench as fast as Infantry.
- game option with all the new PzC2 features (artillery suppression lasts entire turn, defensive anti tanks fire, planes always return to the base etc)
- new Rare trait, which is an integer that sets how many you can have in your army.
- new expensive trait, An integer like RoF which sets the percentage price premium within the first 3 or 6 months.

What is the next step? probably reduce this number to only request those with more value, about 25 best ideas
How to do it? do a poll with all of them would imply about 30min-1h, maybe we can do in more than 1 poll, classified by label maybe trait, bug, game engine... with numeric values, then order by this value regardless label
When do we do? starting poll the anniversary day, 11th July

What do you think?

PD: if there are Age of empires definitive editions why cannot we get with this one too?

I suspect that time is a bigger factor than money, the Devs have not finished PzC2, they have no time to revise PzC1.
There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.
