How to get other scenarios?

[Kriegsheld]

I see people playing scenarios on MP that I can't find, like Bocage Breakout and Battle of the Bzura. Where do I go to download these?

[Xerkis]

There are a dozen or so that are part of the game, but only in Multi Player can you see them. When you initiate a new MP game, you will have them on your list.

There are others that different players have made and you would need to down load those.

[Kerensky]

When you click 'issue challenge' in the multiplayer set up these scenarios should be the first 10 listed. Is that not the case?

[Xerkis]

Here's the list for you:
Battle of the Bzura
Bersaglieri and the Bear
Bocage Breakout
Hunters in the Atlantic
Hylan Valley
Operation Huntress
Partisan Uprising
The Frozen North
Urban Warfare
War Games

Thanks. I was hoping to look at them before I issued a challenge or took a challenge. Is there a way to do that?

[Xerkis]

Of course there is. Several ways in fact.

If you just want to “look at them” and not play them – the easiest way would be to open the scenario editor and load up the one you want to look at.

Obviously, just don’t save any changes.

Grab the 20 files (each map has 2 files, a pzscn file and a pzloc file) listed by Xerkis.
These can be found where you installed Panzer Corps here:
Panzer Corps\Data

Copy and paste those 20 files into here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\Scenario

This is for Windows XP, just as a note.

Thanks, Xerkis. That helped. At least now I know what the maps look like, initial units, victory conditions, etc. Now I'll follow up with Kerensky's advice and that will do it. I really appreciate the responsiveness you have both exhibited.

Thanks, Xerkis. That helped. At least now I know what the maps look like, initial units, victory conditions, etc. Anyway to play them in the Hotseat setting to get a sense for playability?

I preempted your question.
Clairvoyance FTW!

Sure – see Kerensky’s post just above.

Keep in mind (and I’m surprised that Kerensky didn’t mention it ) these were made to be played in MP. In other words playing solo against AI might not be so good - althoug I never tried it yet.

Xerkis makes a good point; it's best to play the MP maps in Hotseat Mode since the AI isn't optimized for SP. You'll be playing against yourself, but it should still give you a good idea of the map layout and strategies to use.

This is how you do it.

Playing multi maps against the AI is somewhat of a strange experience, but still loads of fun!

I even created shortcuts to quickly switch between these two directories (i.e. one shortcut in Data leading to My Docs...Scenario; and another shortcut in My Docs...Scenario leading to Data).



One final piece of advice on the road: most multi player maps are designed with expansion in mind - from both sides. But any scenario have one attacking side and one defending side. There's no way to set both sides to "attacking".

So when playing against the AI, you have a 50% chance/risk of getting a very strange experience where the enemy doesn't advance much if at all, just massing units around the victory hexes it starts with.

For instance, in Hylan Valley, play the Germans. In Urban Assault, choose Allies. That way, the computer will be attacking and you will get the experience you would expect.

(To play, say, Hylan using the Brits your best bet is loading the copy in \Scenario into the scenario designer, open Preferences... and change the Attacker setting to the Germans.)



To understand what's happening, consider that a "regular" Hylan Valley scenario would have the Germans in command of most of the map. This the AI in "defensive mode" is designed to do. It can't race to meet you in the middle. So I guess you could place a German infantry garrison in each white flag hex (in the editor), and that would kind-of work too...

I have a questions guys:) what you have to do to get the last medal? I got knight´s cross with diamonds and swords, but the last one is empty:( I have ever killed more than 600 enemies with that unit but nothing:(

[Adean]

And other one. Don´t you know when will be able to download the 39´ and 40´ scenarios?

[Kerensky]

There is an award for 1000 kills, but that third slot is currently being saved for future content.

As for 39 and 40, end of October is the currently scheduled date so it should be... just a couple weeks actually.

With testing MP games the only way I have found to approximate a real game is to play in Hotseat mode. Of course, you have a good idea of what you're opponent is doing but the AI makes so many mistakes it can't be considered a serious opponent for MP games.

[Adean]

Thanks:-D I will wait for it:) 1000 kills?:) is it possible to get it during the normal game?:)

[Molve]

Killing a thousand strength points, that is.

Depends on what you mean by "a normal game". During the campaign I don't see it as impossible. For a single scenario, not so possible...

I guess playing against a Soviet union that only buys 15-strength conscripts that your tanks can one-shot would do it though! Still, you would need a custom scenario that lasts for a hundred turns or so since 1000/15 is 67 and you need extra rounds for reloading ammo as well.

you are right but I am not shure that I have a time to prefer only one unit in Rusia:) Normal? It means in my language colonel:-D The true is that I tried to play almost all scenarios:) I used all two ways. Win in USA and defend the Berlin

When I tried to log-in to the multiplayer, it tells me that my login and password are incorrect. Shouldn't they be the same as my login and the password for the forum?

Is there a way to reset the password for the multiplayer?

I also wanted to have look at those multiplayer scenarios before issuing a challenge. I've found them in the "DATA" folder but it seems that I don't have the "SCENARIO" folder. Where should I copy those scenrios to be able to see them without loging in to the multiplayer?
