What I love about it so much is it maximizes the role playing aspect of this game that I do not is recognized as much in this game.
What I mean is the fact that because I am playing the way I am playing there are always aspects of various units that always need building up.
If a unit has the maximum amount of experience at 5 stars it lacks the necessary kills to acquire 3 heroes.
If a unit has the maximum number of heroes as Makorin does it still could gain experience to reach 5 stars.
So, every unit has bonuses or weaknesses that need something to help get it up to speed. None of them are completely overpowered or absolutely necessary to utilize, but all units play a role and need work to get to be better. It is that roleplaying aspect that reminds me of grinding in role playing games, but now with military units that make this so much fun and something I continue to think about and analyze.
I expect to get a few units to the maximum level of experience and hero acquisition, but probably not until deep into 1945. (Which makes me very happy.)
Ah, forgot again that there is no plane deployment for the player at the scenario start.goose_2 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 6:48 pm If MafujKhan stays a Fw 190, he could be upgraded to the A-8/R variant for bomber hunting during Poltava. Where the initiative counts for little, but that 18 air attack of the Fw 190 A-8/R would hit hard.
Similar argument for FighterAce, who could be a Me 410 B-2. Not as powerful against tanks, but a better allrounder and 10 rate of fire. Also that 18 air attack against enemy bombers.
no planes in Poltava
20 ground units
and 6 se units
doing some deep thinking about 20 I want to take, but I want Michael to be Jagdpanther, but maybe should switch and make the Panther G based on 3 spotting. Rauno makes sense as the King Tiger so really want to do that to get his kills up in the 1000's
What about Allied Corps? From the British American side, no way to play that?Locarnus wrote: ↑Wed Nov 05, 2025 9:30 pm Updated the campaign start screen picture in the original post of this thread.
After Patrik has now tested the PzC original campaign with Addon mod in his youtube playthrough:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5fECxJ ... m&index=28
The Soviet Corps campaign poster has been replaced in the recent Addon update. The color contrast might be a bit too much, but it is the only campaign where the player is not on the Axis side.
Nope, since Allied Corps is not supported by the Addon, I did not include a start option for that.
And the first King Tiger version not only has 8 strength, but also 9 rate of fire and limited fuel.
Hm, if you want another long 88 gun on the field in addition to the King Tiger, then the 8.8cm Pak would be an option.goose_2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 15, 2025 12:15 am Quick Question before I finish Poltava and I get some units to that elusive 4th star and 2nd hero status what should I leave them at when I finish of the scenario:
Such as
Night Phoenix
Doctor G
Panzer Vorwarts
ReoGuru
and
Rimski
Some of these may be a while, but when they finish training what should I prepare them to be upgraded too?
Do I keep working on them n their current configuration to try for 5 stars?
A lot to think about now that plans are coming together.
I thought I was going to make Jemhadarr into the 8.8 Pak since he has that sweet double movement hero.Locarnus wrote: ↑Sat Nov 15, 2025 2:24 pmHm, if you want another long 88 gun on the field in addition to the King Tiger, then the 8.8cm Pak would be an option.goose_2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 15, 2025 12:15 am Quick Question before I finish Poltava and I get some units to that elusive 4th star and 2nd hero status what should I leave them at when I finish of the scenario:

It would require a unit with movement hero and the cheapest path would be via Nashorn (8.8cm upgrade family in AT mode same as 8.8cm Pak).
a) Reoguru in Brummbär I would leave in tank mode, so that he could cheaply upgrade to Nashorn (and then 8.8cm Pak).
b) DoktorG I would leave in tank mode as well, regardless whether he currently has the StuG IV or StuG III. StuG IV in tank mode gives alternative option for Nashorn => 8.8cm Pak. While StuG III in tank mode gives StuH => 12 GrWerfer => infantry option (where his initiative hero would be useful for close terrain as well).
c) NightPhoenix in StuH would probably be left in tank mode to also provide an upgrade path both to Panzer IV chassis via PzSfl IV and to infantry via 12 GrWerfer. And infantry is something you probably need more of since you sent yours to training.
e) PanzerVorwärts in Grille I would then leave in arty mode, since the sIG arty upgrade family allows him to change chassis very easily.
d) Rimski in PzSfl IVb imho should be in arty mode. His spotting + attack hero makes him a good candidate for recon Panzer II after getting to 4 stars. So PzSfl IVb (arty mode) => Wespe (arty mode) => Wespe (Pz II tank mode) => recon Panzer II. That would allow Blast to become something else, to make better use of his ini hero.
Ah much better, double movement would be great on 8.8cm Pak!goose_2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 15, 2025 2:44 pm I thought I was going to make Jemhadarr into the 8.8 Pak since he has that sweet double movement hero.
you have some fun interesting ideas though. Thanks for taking a look at and giving me some thoughts to consider.
Since I have very few Range heroes those will be the ones that for sure stay what they are except for RayCaster I need to get him into a better chassis, so need to take him into a battle and make sure he stays in tank mode once done.
so many fun options to consider with this mod unlike any I have ever played/.

Still have the 1.31 version .

Slitherine does not update the game to 1.32 at all (certainly not for steam either). You have to do that manually as a first step when installing the mod. See the 5 step install instructions in the first post of this thread and especially the very detailed preparation guide mentioned and linked in the first of those install instructions.

edit: Slitherine like to shit on us Gog customers with not updating games to the latest versions . ( for example this game and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon )
Mods will not work without the community updates / patches .
