Hello Generals,
We are thrilled to announce the release of 5 new Chess Maps for Panzer Corps 2 coming on May 30th.
Overview
Chess Maps for Panzer Corps 2 are essentially quick-to-play Multiplayer maps. Players could also play them alone if they wish, so vs. themselves in Hotseat Mode. Chess maps are kept intentionally small for faster playthroughs. Their maximum size is 10x10 playable hexes, which also results in a limited number of units present. Since chess maps are Multiplayer maps, balance is highly important. Therefore map layouts are meant to be symmetric, so that each side has equal options to move, and victory hexes are symmetrically distributed across the map.
For balance reasons units given to each side need to be equal in their capabilities and combat power - like chess pieces. As Panzer Corps 2 units vary to a degree between player nations minor imbalances may occur though. In Multiplayer tournaments with paired games this is irrelevant though.
Beyond that there is room for variation, so whether chess maps may have an explicit deployment stage, allow core units, rebuy, reinforce etc. is up to the designer for each map. Any special settings should be clearly communicated in the briefings.
