Re: The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!
Thanks to all the devs! I am home from work and downloading the game. It's my birthday today, and this is the best present. I can't wait.

Re: The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!
Question on editions: Do you get ANY camo skin options in base game? "General" edition talks about 75 "exclusive" skins, but I thought base game was going to come with some...

Best to post in the tech support forum and provide detailed specs for your computer and any log files. You've not provided enough information for us to begin to guess.Charles Stedman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:03 am happy to install it but videos crashes early while music continues. Solutions?

Can we change the photos for the heroes, generals? Will the game allow the flags to be changed? Thanks!!
Losses in Panzer Corps 2
Dear fans, I bought the game Panzer Corps 2. I waited a long time for this and enjoyed playing the first part as well as the Panzer Corps series. Does it also bother you that the losses at Panzer Coprs are so high or is it just mine? With Order of Battle, these are significantly lower. In Panzer Corps 2, a unit can almost be wiped out with one attack. A scout quickly loses 8 points against an enemy infantry. This is incomprehensible and historically incorrect. This takes a lot of the fun out of the game because the units are just cannon fodder. Why didn't they adopt the Order of Battle damage model. This is very good As before, it is unfortunately not fun compared to Order of Battle, with all other improvements. Can you possibly set it somewhere?
Re: Losses in Panzer Corps 2
That has always been the case with Panzer General and Panzer Corps. In OoB (which is also a really great game!) it takes often 4 turns with a fighters to bring down a bomber (which, you could argue, is also not historically correct).Schnix wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:34 pm Dear fans, I bought the game Panzer Corps 2.

Prestige is also a lot harder to come by in OoB so you get less income but also spent a whole lot less on repairs.
Both games have their own system, I like both of them. But I agree coming from OoB it's quite a shock to see a bomber do 7 damage against my artillery.
And you cannot really change this unless you change all the attack and defense values (especially those I guess) for all the units. If you would double all defense then you could expect to do less damage against enemy units and take less damage aswell, not exactly 50% less since I don't know the exact formula so I might be really off.
Re: Losses in Panzer Corps 2
The solution does exist, but not in game's UI. You need to modify data files. Go to game's PanzerCorps2/Content/Data subfolder, open Rules.json file and set "base_accuracy" parameter to whatever you like. By default it is set to 50%, which means 50% of shots hit the target. To make all combat in the game less bloody, you can reduce it to, say, 30%. Keep in mind that it's a major change in game balance.Schnix wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:34 pm Dear fans, I bought the game Panzer Corps 2.

Re: Losses in Panzer Corps 2
If your recon is losing 8 points against a single enemy infantry, you must be fighting infantry in close terrain.
This is a bad idea. Close combat is for infantry, especially engineers.
Removing entrenched infantry from cities requires a bit of work.
Suppress with Art and Strats, then attack with engineers for less losses.
In Poland your recon in clear terrain should kill ~5 infantry points while losing ~1.
There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.

Sitting at home doing the self-quarantine. Downloading and installing now. Can't wait to start playing and take my mind on Covid-19.
Re: The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!
I've been a great supporter of Slitherine/Martrix over many years - a small company focusing on great strategy ideas and games which I think is wonderful and challenges the larger corporate game producers releasing crap games for big bucks. That said, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Slitherine games - many game aspects are brilliant, but the games are sometimes released too early with a lot of bugs and issues too (both technical and gameplaying), and that detract greatly from playing enjoyment. I've just got Panzer Corp Two and are greatly disappointed. Again, great ideas and concepts poorly executed. Got to the North Africa campaign playing default difficulty but with not enough points to fixed damaged units and simply finding the game annoying - dozen of British tanks appear and I have no way of stopping them et al. It doesn't have to be like this and is a step back compared to the earlier version of panzer corp. I'm about to give-up and move on to other games and activities. I'm really sorry and sad about this, but I just don't have the free time to waste on games with lots of bugs and problems that are almost brilliant, but ultimately disappoint at the end of the day.

Re: The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!
I mean like it is in Amulet mod and that Elite mod
Re: The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!
The default game does not include 'Elite' units.
But you are free to add them.
