Replayability

Post by Meteor2 »

What to say about this?
3 campaigns are included, but will the initial setting always be the same?
Is the AI using different set-ups in the scenarios?
Looking at the game positively.[:)]

In scenarios where finding AI units is a key element of the game, the starting positions of those units are randomised. For example the positions of enemy fleets and aircraft carriers at Midway!

We've also tried to include a whole load of secondary objectives to the campaign scenarios, so there's always a chance to play again for that perfect victory.

Finally, the game comes with a fully featured scenario editor, so we're hoping that when the community gets it's teeth into the game, we'll see community crafted scenarios and even maybe campaigns.

Really?! How does that work when you make the scenario? Does the engine reshuffle them as it wants using a given perimeter or...?

It uses the trigger system of the scenario editor: Various inactive triggers which reposition the units to various places across the map. Then another trigger which fires at the start of the scenario, randomly picking one of the disabled triggers and activating it.

So it'll all up to the scenario designer.

You guys should look at this game VERY positively. I had the honor of playing it early in the beta phase, and it is outstanding. It takes Panzer Corps to the next level, and has so many unique and awesome mechanics. The game is an instant classic.
