Campaign "World War II" prologue
Authors: happy_end and sega (kamclub.ru)
Difficulty: above average (well, I think so)

This is a 1st part of historical campaign about WWII period - from september 1939 to september 1945 (prologue from september 1939 to june 1941). In prologue there is 8 missions, and in all parts of campaign there'll be more then 100 missions about main WWII battles.

We will be grateful for the help in the translation of campaign (especially Google translate of English version=) ), please send your translated files to sega-1989@yandex.ru, and also if you will find any errors.

Prologue can be downloaded from http://yadi.sk/d/wqDkHbYfFqpw3

Maybe some pics would be cool.

I agree with MaxDeus. You should add some screenshots and more info ofc

More "normal" words, please, I'm not an englishman. Pics will be later, when I'll get to MY computer

i mean more information about yours campaign (how many missions are included, and what kinds of missions, (economy, tactic). In this campaign includes a storyline ?

Screenshots:
France: Italian-Greek war:
Paris: Russian-Finnish war: Iranian operation:
Occupation of Poland: Warsaw: Invasion into the USSR:

Screen shots are looking really good! I would like to play it. I'd give you a feedback after I finish it.

Still some info about campaign would be nice, as woloszek wrote.

By the way, I didn't know that back then in our country there was a writing made of trees... But I may have different history book than you... .

@woloszek: There're 8 missions here.

That's correct, it was even visible from the space, but Nazis burnt these trees down on their way back to the Germany xD

Surely unique campaign. I have mixed feelings for making WW2 maps for a strictly medieval game though.

I saw only screenshots and sorry for that, but i must say that not bad. Maybe sometimes terrain is too flat, but overall looks good. And these trees... I think that you gave too many trees on the maps ... no dense forests, the trees are scattered all over the map, and too few other objects.

Idea seems interesting. Now, we want tanks and guns in Remake

Very nice campaign! I have seen every map and the scripts are decent.
The maps are good but could be better at some points.
I will give it a try these day's toplay it

Somebody already finished the campaign, or at least a few missions? What can you say?

So. Here some things to change:
- I started the first campain, the text was out of range, don´t know if it is because of the nightly-update.
- On the first map there are a few monutains very sharp. Maybe smooth it a little bit (e.g. the 2 attacking-zone of the german)
- names of the countries: i think this should not be made. you only wrote germ, and the cut of pola - nd, not very cool (for me)
- coal can be smoothed also.
- water direction: make it tile by tile, not "magic water". It does not look like a river (also smooth it at the "beach" please)

And much more important is: Prussia is germany. no own country, even in the 2. WW!!!
These are my first intentions. I hope i could help you a little bit for the moment.

You have nice ideas, but I don´t like that campaign (only my personal opinion)

-Hard to feel that you are really at the 2nd world war without airplanes, ships,but instead with people from the stoneage fighting with an axe
-In the first missions, you have like nothing to do. Example first mission: you have to wait that long until anything will happen. When something starts to happen, it´s just a huge spam of everything while you have only the control over some units(Ai vs Ai).
-Wrong historical points(Poland has defended the longest time of all countries against their enemy. The "Blitzkrieg" started at the 1st September and Warsaw has surrenderd at 27th September ) so with one HUGE rush of knights it looks for children like Germany had conquered the whole world in 2 days
-Ugly Letters in map. You should rather give the countries their color like german the black one,polan white, russian blue.... instead of writing on the half map P O L A N D with some trees, that doesn´t look good in my opinion

[-You should implement france and England as ai players that are attacking Germany, but 10 meters before that, they move around and go back (Historical Joke) ]
[-Don´t like the Campaign map, but only because it´s not written in Latin letters ]

Why I basicly don´t like to play that campaign is, becuase it´s "boring". Like I said at the first lines the player is more watching stuff, instead of fighting/defending


Good points:

+Still that there are many content fails in that campaign, I see that you really like the history and you researched a lot of names and places to implement it in your campaign
+Good scripting ideas and features(Army of Ussr appears in Eastpoland, while german is attacking westpoland)
+Terrain and Object placements are ok(not the letter of trees )
+Variety of maps and missions

LoL? Prussia is not Germany. This is one of the German-speaking states.

Yeah, but not ofcutted of germany. he makes germany on the left side, and prussia on the top. thats historical wrong. then on the left side should be prussia also, or maybe Silesia for the southern area.
