Bonus difficulties for the DLC´s?

[Abefar]

I just completed DLC 39´ on field marshall but it did not unlock any of the bonus difficulties. Do they not exist for the DLC´s?

[Jelinobas]

Rommel, Mannstein etc. ?

No only the long Main Campain 39 do this.

[Tarrak]

You can play the DLC's with the bonus difficulties but to unlock them you need to finish the vanilla campaign with a decisive victory in the final USA scenario. You can of course just use the cheat code to shortcut through all the scenarios to unlock it.

Ok thx.

I will try and beat the vanilla on FM then. I dont like using cheat, and if i cant beat the vanilla campaign on FM im not worthy of the other difficulties

I've never finished the vanilla campaign - you have 2 much faster options. If you feel confident editing your registry the option I used is:

run regedit navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/slitherine/panzer corps and modify the ShowBonusLevels entry to 1. If you don't have knowledge of how the registry works, avoid this way because if you do anything wrong you may damadge your computer.

If you've installed 1.10 your other option is to simply mod one of the other difficulties to mimic the bonus difficulty of your choice (or a custom difficulty - I'm playing FM with +1 allied strength.) The file is diff.pzdat and it's in your panzer corp\data folder:

# This file contains settings of difficulty levels.
# Prestige and experience are specified in percent from what the player of the AI get by default.
# Strength modifier is added to max strength of all units (can be positive or negative).
# Turn modifier is added to the total turn count (also can be positive or negative).
# AI Level can be set to 0 (basic), 1 (intermediate) or 2 (advanced)

I suggest editing the registry. Playing the vanilla to get it was to me, far too tedious. Rommel makes things much more interesting. Manstien is great if you are a Masochist; but if not, I'd stick with Rommel.

Well said! Playing Rommel now in GC '39 and enjoying it tremendously. Half-prestige is no joke! And yes Manstein is for die-hard masochists.

[kokkorhekkus]

mmmm...well
I want to play on "rommel" level and if I understand well I have to play with a "destroy all around me" cheat code for a dozen of scenarios of the vanilla campaign ? Well finally I think I will play the what if scenarios like sea lion and the science fiction Amerika even if I don't like these ones very much.

A little fastidious and I don't want to take risks with the computer for the "B" method

There is no "rapid victory" cheat code on the list (?), it seems to be

[deducter]

Use the cheat code endscn 0 to get DV on a map.

[kokkorhekkus]

I missed this one on the list but he is on the list, so thanks to deducter, the emperor of PZC AARs

A modified Manstein is really cool. You can set all the unit max strengths to 7 which gives most units a strength of 12. There are a good amount of units that are still strength 16+ but not as rough as a full Manstein.

I finished the main campaign on FM but I could not get and DV so it did not unlock them just found out actually it needs to be DV pretty much across the board. So tough

The only scenario that needs to be played on FM is the last one.

I finally unlocked the extra difficulties just last week. It was one of my vacation goals. It took several tries.

Not even that, after the final turn you have the option to switch difficulties to FM and that will unlock when I last tested it.

It does not work on any of the Grand Campaigns, it needs to happen on either Vanilla Campaign, Africa Corps, Allied Corps, or Soviet Corps

[turn4441]

Of course, if you want to play the advanced levels without using a cheat code or completing one of the campaigns with a DV, simply play with the custom settings that correspond to them. +50 AI Prestige and -5 Turns to play Guderian, Patton, or Konev level; +50 AI prestige and +5 Unit Strength for Manstein, Eisenhower, and Rokossovsky; and -50 Player Prestige and +50 AI Prestige for Rommel, Montgomery, and Zhukov.

Thanks for the feedback on this goose_2, hucks, and dalfrede. I am at India in AK at FM difficulty so maybe I can try and push for that. Fingers crossed. So glad to see others are also still enjoying this game
