How to play Hotseat with MP maps

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

How to play Hotseat with MP maps

Post by xriz »

I've heard you can copy the MP maps to some were and then play them Hotseat to check out the setup but I can't find the directory to copy them to to do this. Can some one explain how to do this step by step please?

I'm not sure if its the same for all operating systems but for vista go to my documents, my games, Panzer Corps, Then create a new folder and name it "scenario". Then find the main Panzer Corps directory, eg C:, program files, Slitherine, Panzer corps and open the folder named data. Now copy the pzscn and pzloc files for the named scenario you want to play and paste them in the new scenario folder you have created. When you open the game press, new game, scenario and look for "custom" on the list of scenarios. open that up and you should find your game on the list, now you can play it as hotseat. Hope it works

MP maps are not balanced for single players.

Just load any MP map and play.

Ahh perfect Soldier1; under mydocuments, mygames, Panzerncorp, then made the scenario folder and copied the files from the data sub folder in the games main folder.

And at Razz, yea some of the mp maps don't looe to balanced, just finished a game of hunters of the Atlantic and checked it out hot seat, seems pretty hard for the Axis player since there ships are out numbered 2-3 and have to deal with up to 3 British bombers while just attacking transports to win. O plus you have to keep your two best ships alive, all this while it takes 5-6 turns to move the convoy ships to Britten but you have 30 turns. The subs are almost worthless because the allies have like 12 destroyers ....
