Panzer Corps 2 - 2021 World Championship Begins

Post by Edmon »

The first round of the Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship has begun and we're kicking off with the first of our new to multiplayer maps. 

"Bug River" is one of the iconic maps from the original Panzer Corps 2 single player campaign, but has now been re-imagined for multiplayer. It will be the first map competitors will play in the World Championship Tournament.

Rudankort, the lead developer of Panzer Corps 2, had this to say about the new map:

"From my experience playing this map I can add that it is a small square map (19x21 hex) which at the same time offers a big variety of strategic options. Exactly a kind of a map which I personally enjoy the most."

Historically, this battle occured on the 15th of September also and was an offensive in Eastern Poland. Interestingly, it was also the 15th of September when Russia signed the agreement that freed them to invade just days later.

The map will be coming to standard multiplayer along with our next patch. It is also our intent to add an extra map for every round of the tournament and to have these maps also make their way to standard multiplayer. The roster of multiplayer maps will therefore be greatly expanded as the tournament progresses.

We wish everyone playing the best of luck.

The first round will end in 21 days from now, so be certain to complete your match before that time.

It's good to see maps that follow the historic path of the war.
I felt that was missing from the MP lineup.
It's also good to increase the size of the maps bit by bit or even stay in smaller or medium sized scenarios which allow for faster multiplayer games.

There is still some important info missing though to really kick this tournament off:

How exactly does the scoring system work?

It would not be worthy of a strategy champion to rush into battle blindfolded and hope that his actions may fit the requirements, now would it?
That would be the definition of a lucky fool.

I personally would not move one inch until I get my priorities straight.
It's a steep time investment and players should not get encouraged to stall their turns.
Uncertainty does exactly that.

Kind regards - we will see each other soon

All the best & good luck to the competitors

Hello there,

I just started the map, and i read the pointing system:

20 points for each victory hex every turn
and when beating the units, the points that the unit is worth in the core slot, will be added ,...so not the price, only the slot "place" it takes! for example: a recon plane will be "1" point,...

I hope i understood that correct?

would be nice to know what happens when you finish the map earlier, by conquering all objectives?

Kind regads and also good luck

by experience on the last tournaments, the points count is finished and by finishing before the 20 rounds, you lose points...

And what about people who stop playing once the battle turns to their disadvantage or who only play the defense side?
There are flaws in your scoring system, yet it seems to me that you are going to take into account all the remarks linked to previous tournaments ... and I do not see any communication from you on this subject.

It was written at the torunament's announcement, it will be swiss system. I hope so, points are counted only between players, and the winner will get 1 point....but I fear it won't.....

I already have the most annoying problem, the opponent is not playing,...well, with 21 days i think there is still time,.. but it´s not nice!!! and i´m sure a lot enlisted one will not appear for playing...

when you sign up, please play or give up correctly, or do not sign in!! to disappear, is very annoying!!!

Give it some time first, people, as not everyone checks this forum daily and the Tournament was announced so long ago that it would be easy to forget. Now, after a week or so and your opponent still hasn't done anything, well then, I'd start getting pissed off too...

I am more disappointed in the fact that the patch hasn't been released yet. It's been over 2 months since the AO42 and 1.02.0 was released. I was in the middle of a new play through and stuck at Eben-Emael when I realized what everyone has been complaining about...

This is unfortunately correct. :!:
I won in round 8 while my opponent took the last objective in the round 15.
Scoreboard shows he was awarded more points.

No harm in that, battles were fun and this is a game.
However for the sake sportsmanship and in the spirit of tournament this should be corrected.

It should not be too hard to do, simply add the pointspervictoryhex x numberofvictoryhexes x numberofremainingturns to the score of the winner.
Since there seems to be an automated way of tracking our scores, writing such a rule should not be too much work.
Let’s see if there will be a response or action on this

Kudos to everyone involved for making this event happen
12 new MP maps is a game changer :D
Looking forward to meeting more of you in the field
Have fun guys and girls

this is precisely because the solution is simple that it is even more frustrating to see this flaw repeat itself, we can also imagine a timer as in chess to solve the problem of people who do not play.
but the most frustrating is still the total lack of communication from the tournament organizers about the different feedback from tournament players
