I see, that should be the explanation. Although I am not sure if its always working like intended, sometimes if I do what you say the exp. stays and lets say 2.342, sometimes If feel it is reduced below 2000. But no problem after all, nothing is more boring than having maxed out experience on your units
What I also noticed is that the artillery got changed. Imo the changes are not that good. 122cm guns got only a range of 2 (not that good) and 150cm guns have to change to AT mode to support against hard units. Regarding the core slots It might be better to completly skip artillery und get more bombers and some at guns.
And the 210 guns are completly useless. You cant fire and move, or move and fire and since you are almost always attacking you wont get a shot with this gun. If you keep this changes I could say you have to reduce the core slots.
Not sure why the recon units got reduced from 2500 to 2000. We have not uploaded the revised SCW campaign yet with the reduction in campaign max experience from 2500, unless you are testing the beta of the campaign from our Discord forum.
There has been a revised units.csv mod that was created to be compatible with both Storm Over Europe and Grand Campaign PC1 mods. There were a lot of changes to unit stats with this and a lot of them are explained on our Steam Discussion thread for Storm Over Europe. We are constantly monitoring suggestions to the units.csv mod and are making constant adjustments to it. Please add to the discussion there if you have any input to help make the file better.
Thank you very much.
Rick.

Go to start a new campaign, and it will show you what the xp limit is. My memory is that the steam release is at 2000 now too, but I'm traveling

It says 2000 on the start screen but all the scenarios are set at 2500. It will change when the updated campaign version for Condor Legion is ready and completed.

When corps units are imported to SOE 1940 Part 1 none of the heroes are imported. Is this as intended? Thanks for such awesome campaigns!

I just finished a playthrough including 1940 Part 1.
First of all, great work and thanks a lot for all your work.
Everything was working like intended as fair as I can say, so no bugs or anything like that.
To the campaign itself:
- I do not really like the coloured pictures. Wagner looks like he is using lipstick. Some of the generals look like cartoons. Imo just keep it simple, black and white is just fine.
-the elite replacement pool is a a nice feature, but did not really have any effect. Was was running out of replacements at some point, but its possible to play around that. Prestige gets insignificant, you rather run out of replacements than out of prestige.
- a major problem imo are the events and misssons itself. Almost all the events are rather boring, nothing new. The superheroes are well known, all the extra stuff is completly useless. Does not really matter if you get all the extra stuff or not. Especially in 1940 I felt like playing a light modification of the original DLCs.
I got so many tokens, but until now there is no effect on the game.
I think there should be some fine tuning. Few more events, maybe with some nice heroes. Or you could add some more caches and stuff.
Your SCW Mod is far better. I hope you will reach that level in any years.
Keep up the good work!

I can assure you only a few scenarios will be ready for part 2 by then and only for testing.
I have most of the terrain done for the scenarios and have been working on unit placement and scripting for the Fall Rot scenarios.

Thanks for the feedback.
The color imagery is going to stay and most people like it. We are always updating the artwork and will continue to.
The elite replacements are a work in progress in balancing it for each of the campaigns. We just started using it and gathering data on making adjustments. It is going to be prevalent on all the mods that our design team does.
If you have ideas on missions, please share them and we will try and incorporate them into the campaigns by developing LUA scripting for them. That goes for the super heroes too. We can always use suggestions.
The tokens have been accumulating and one will soon be able to utilize them. In 1940 part 2 some of the tokens will be able to qualify you for certain what if events/scenarios. Others will carry over to 1941 when they can be used for the first time.
Everything is fluid.
Thanks
Rick

in SOE in the SCW do you not get any Heroes during the battles? or just 1 hero to start each new battle?

There are opportunities to acquire some Heroes during the battles in some scenarios. You can also acquire Heroes through spending commendation points when offers are presented as well as the hero gifted at the start of each scenario. SCW and 1939 campaigns though are going to be updated so the gifted hero at the start of each scenario will no longer be available and you will have to purchase that hero with prestige like we introduced in the campaign for 1940 Part 1. This update is nearing the end of the testing phase and will be available soon. Since the new SCW upgrade will have additional scenarios you would have to start it from the beginning to use the new features which is recommended. If you do not want to start the campaign over you will have to finish it as soon as possible before we update SCW.

Thanks for 1940 part 1. Very, very well done. I expect it to be a while yet for part 2 so I’ll keep checking back every couple of weeks.

Anything on the horizon about a fix for heros at the start of the campaign? Not a huge deal to redo them now, but it will get more complicated as the years progress with more and more heros to redo.
