In scenarios without water, this is just a path to the nearest coordinates (X, Y).
But in the case of sea routes, it is necessary to take into account the relief and use more complex algorithms for calculating the route.

AI in the PZC does not know how.

But why is the Swedish Strv 103 (Tank S) in the 2021 Nato Campaign?

Does anybody know if there is a fix for the Multiplayer version of this mod failing to save if the file size becomes too large? Very frustrating when things stop working at turn 60 or so.

If you can trust your opponent(s), I absolutely suggest to play it with hotseat mode (sending the saves through mail), it has so much advantages.

We had never thought of doing that! I can't find any files associated with PBEM files saves, are the HotSeat save files kept in the usual single-player SAVE directory? I just check and I see they are. Will give it a go.

It is a great MOD a shame the PBEM version seems to have the file size issues.

Thanks for the suggestion

As I said, it is important to have a thrustworthy opponent, as cheats are working in the game. So, you choose hotseat in the scenario screen, choose, Battlefield multi, it is advised to choose at advanced option dice chess too. You play your turn, thank make a save at the end of your turn. Search the save in the same directory, as the other saves are and attach it to a mail. Optional you can compress it, other way it can develop over 10 MB a file.
The opponent loads the save, without looking, press ALT + E to end the turn. The his turn is next, and in that way, he can see all the new, nice messages of BE. He makes his turns, save it, send it back, etc.

Also it is useful to set up some house rules to counter some issues of the base game.

Hi, no, currenty I am not working on a major update. I just have some fun in a very interesting multiplayer match in BE v2.3 and also try to keep an eye on some other ongoing multiplayer matches and collect as much feedback about them as possible. Now I have a fairly long list of possible balance tweaks and fixes based on these but these mainly affect the multiplayer version. What I also have in mind is to have a closer look at the various changes introduced by "Locarnus" to consider which of those could possibly make their way to the next version without breaking the current well tested balance.

So for now, all I can suggest (if you haven't done any of these) is to try the historical save games for later, post 1941 starting points for increased difficulty, or to try to achieve a victory while playing on Field Marshal (which is as close to the multiplayer experience as it can be) or just try multiplayer as well. These can all provide a lot of fun for those who have finished the mod in the recommended General setting and now look for more challenge or for the meaning of life.
