New game scenarios?

Post by Grim.Reaper »

Is there a breakdown on the new scenarios in cv such as how many are brigade vs division vs corp? I much prefer the brigade level so I am curious.

I'm only showing 20 Scenario's in addition to the 4 Tutorials. But I see the following breakdown.

3 Brigade Scenarios
11 Division Scenarios
5 Corps Scenarios
1 Army Scenario
4 Tutorials

I find Division Scenario's the best suited to this type of game and engine and they are understandably the most common type of scenario.

Thanks for the breakdown. Was hoping for more brigade level, but not a deal breaker.

Like with Gettysburg and Antietam, I'm sure we'll release a brigade scenario pack eventually. The first scenario is brigade level which should keep you busy for a while. There's also a very unique brigade level scenario for Salem Church where you have two artillery pieces and a dismounted cavalry regiment in your brigade.

Outside of the sandbox, is it possible for users to create their own scenarios?

Basically yes, but it's beyond my skills. Here is a link to the user scenarios already available: http://www.norbsoftdev.net/forum/modifi ... od-threads

If you decide to go into scenario design, I'll be more than happy to offer guidance. It looks daunting at first but once you wrap your brain around the concepts, they are fun to make.

I figure if I could make scenarios for Achtung Panzer Operation Star I can do any darn thing! [:D]

If you want to get an idea, the SDK includes probably more details than you want at this point. Also download the GB Historical Scenarios mod which lets you look at the file set that defines and controls a scenario. Don't be at all shy about questions as this does have a bit of a learning curve.
