Is this patch retroactive for the DLCs, or do you have to start a new DLC "campaign" ?

I don't think you have to start a new campaign. Some of the changes might only take effect once you started a new scenario and not on your current one.

Quick question:

If I own all 10 DLCs and apply this patch, is it essentially the same as owning the mega pack minus the ease of installation?

In other words does the mega pack contain any new content outside of the original DLCs and this patch?

Thanks,

As far i know yes.

No the mega pack does not contain any additional content you would not get by patching the single DLCs to the newest version.

Most new heroes are CORE units. Rather than give pre-made forces of the old DLC a set of standard heroes, we thought this would be a much more interesting approach. This is why these new heroes are typically earned towards the beginnings of each DLC campaign. Of course to collect as many of these special historical heroes as possible, it's best to begin your Grand Campaign as early as possible (1939). It should be said that there are a rare few AUX ones too, and one very special case!

What the hell? All these new heroes and they get added to my core too?
Now I need to replay and finish the whole Grand Campaign for the 3rd time. Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much.!
What a cool surprise.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Another question:

After starting a new campaign with the 1.14 patch using the old DLCs, will the saved games work with the mega pack when I get around to buying it?

I have all 10 DLCs installed now, and would like to play through the entire campaign (both east and west), but it's possible I may buy a new computer and reformat everything before I'm finished. Will the saved games work with the new mega pack or do I need to install the 10 DLCs again?

Thanks,

I installed patch 1.4 before I later bought the Mega Campaign and installed it over. All my saves are working fine.

Adding appropriate historical heroes to the game was a simply brilliant idea. I was forced to re-start the campaign from the beginning in order to savor the complete experience. As far as Modlin now, the new heroes give completely new tactical options, especially that super hero Oleh Dir!

After Minsk41 scenario I have 2 Rudel stuka and 2 heroes. Is this a bug or was intended? If it isn't a bug I might upgrade the recon unit to 110 and use as scout plane with 4 spotting.

Is witched the first Rudel to Bf110 at first chance. It lost its hard-attack, but simulates mass-attack in the air and has more fuel as a stuka to explore the area. It works fine. The low soft attack is a little usefull to dig out too....
