Below are some screenshots of the 3 large scenarios. The 3 wars are each integrated into a scenario. First, the war against Denmark in 1864 ...





... the war against Austria and the South German allies in 1866 ....





...and the war against France in 1870-71.

Is there an update ?

Sonja89_1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 4:52 pm No, Uzbek. Turtler is right. It has only been published for four months. And when I publish a campaign, it is usually so well tested that no updates are necessary. It doesn't really benefit the players if they have to reinstall such a mod every few weeks. So the 1863-1871 campaign is complete.
However, as I described earlier, I am working on the sequel. But it will still take a number of months. At the moment I am in the test run for the 3rd scenario (of about 60). Battles are taking place between Lviv and Przemyśl (the place really has a horrible name). Well, what will the sequel be about?

Sonja89_1 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 6:57 pm This is about the second German empire. This empire had a warlike beginning with the 3 wars of unification, which were dealt with in the first version of this mod, and it has a warlike end in 1918. The sequel therefore logically revolves around the First World War, as you have correctly guessed, Turtler.

You list quite a number of other possibilities for additional campaigns where the units of D2R-2106 could be used. Some units could certainly be used for such a purpose. However, I suspect that other modders who are more adept at making units will be found here to build good sets.

As for the use of individual parts of my mod, they are freely available. I myself borrow individual components from other mods or units posted here in the forum for my work. The sequel I'm working on now about World War I alone will bring over 400 new units into the game. Many of them I have gained from this forum. Many more have been newly assembled by me.

The problem, however, is not so much a release of mine as the time factor. Building a solid campaign takes a lot of time. To give you an idea - I've been working on the sequel since the end of June and have already put in about 500 hours. About half of that was spent on setting up the new units. I've already spent 160 hours on the pure campaign part, although I'm still at the very beginning of it. I have to say, however, that 90 hours of that were scenario tests. So there is also some play involved.

I'm writing this here to show that a project like this can't be completed in a few days on a whim. It takes perseverance, organisation, discipline and a lot of time. But if you are willing to put in the time - I can only recommend it. It is a lot of fun.

Sonja89_1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 7:52 pm Haha, I don't feel pressured at all. I sketched out the times in my previous post here to explain what kind of effort such a project can mean.

The continuation with the 1st World War refers to D2R, precisely with reference to the second German Empire. DAW has a completely different background. Besides, DAW was completed with version 20-07 in the summer of 2020.

Oh, yes, Uzbek. And if you are going to call me "Maestro" here, which is either meant ironically (that would be sad), or is clearly exaggerated, then please use the term "Maestra". I am a woman, in case that has escaped your notice.

Sonja89_1 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 3:43 pm Yes, Sonja is my real first name. The fact that I ended up with this game has to do with my high interest in historical topics. My family, like many families in Europe, was very strongly affected by the Second World War. So I was already very interested in these topics in my early childhood.

In addition, I love working with maps. I think you can see that in my maps for the scenarios. This leads relatively easily to turn-based strategy games, which usually have a historical background and are played on hex maps. Panzer Corps 1 is a very mod-friendly programme that, as you can see in this forum, is also used extensively. So it is not at all surprising that I ended up with this game. Gender is irrelevant to the game anyway, or as they would say in Germany .... "wurscht" (doesn't matter).

...your mods are sometimes better than men's...

...89 does not refer to my year of birth, which is 1963, so I am a little older. In this respect, I fit in quite well with this 'old' Panzer Corps 1 programme.

Another old campaigner... I was also born in 1963 (my 58th birthday was in August).

Thank you for your mod. There are some great graphics, it's good to see all that colour!

Turtler wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:46 pm Very nice indeed Sonja, and I look forward to it. Question: what approach will you be taking to campaign branching or the like? One of the weaknesses I felt for the old Kaisershlacht mod was the inability to choose between the fronts in 1914 (at least prior to the Grand Campaign 1914 work I did).

But in any case, I imagine you'll put together something really special.
