Campaign Trees

[rupd3658]

Can someone please post a list of the campaign scenario paths for each DLC?

Thank you.

Thank you. I guess they are like redneck family trees that do not fork.

Yep, if they were any more inbred, they'd be a sandwich. Those extra Chromosomes will sure come in handy one time.

Good job, btw, bru.

Thanks, Andy. I've been maintaining that list because every once in a while you need it to check where you are in a campaign or you need to load a scenario in the editor for examination and learning, things like that. That's why I had it on hand when rupd3658 asked for it.

I like not knowing the list so I when progress through the campaign everything is new and intriguing and I have less dread of the end of the campaign. For me, the end of a war is a very sad time and my veterans must return to the boredom & drudgery of civilian life. So if I don't know everything that will happen, I can, somewhat futilely, hope the war will go on for a long time. This is why I like Hearts of Iron 4 cause you can always attack another country if you finish up with one.

There is one kink in the Morning Sun campaign - a perfect victory at South Guangxi (capture Chiang Kai Shek) lets you play Chongqing (the final scenario), otherwise the campaign ends after Guandong Offensive.

Can this be updated for all dlc's?

Its good there is no branching otherwise there are maps you never play unless you cheat to get through it in a decisive or you intentionally do not get a decisive to get a regular victory etc.Plus its more work for the persons who made it and some players may not even play some of the scenarios ... ??

I agree with this. I do not like the feeling of completing a campaign but not having experiencing all of its possible scenarios, it makes me feel like I've been left out of some battles by HQ.

I don't know, man. I'd rather have all the scenarios available for "skirmishes", but have a branching campaign.

I've heard one of the devs say (not sure if it was this or another WWII game) that they don't do branching because players want to play every single scenario - and if it branches they will miss some. That's fair.

However, what they could do is have a branch where you play both of them. Say Army Group North and Army Group South, BUT you must split your core units. So you have to decide which core units to go to which scenario. That would allow players to still get the full benefit of all the scenarios, but add some strategic element (do you have enough veterans to split your core? which group will be armor heavy vs infranty, etc). Not sure if the current mechanics allow that, but I think it's something to consider.

[gunny]

That would be cool

Any more ?
