Hello,
Thanks for your videos

Im trying to come back to the game (again; surely this time ill manage to get past turn 5 in grand campaign) and i like one of the maps you use in your video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idp93eJE3co
Can you point me where i can get this specific map?

Also while im here, maybe you or others can answer me 1 more question. To play vs AI i need to update scripts from this topic, right?
https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 6#p3050326
And thats it, theres no updated ones elsewhere, because they seem to be from 2012? Im only interested in scenario 1 for now.

Thank you

You don't need to update the scripts.

I suggest that you try Coral Sea scenario from both sides until you learn what you need to learn there and then try the Guadalcanal scenario until you learn what you need to learn there.

What do you mean i dont need to?
Its fine as is, im new so i wont know the difference, its updated with newest patch already?
Because Mr Kull says its mandatory to update them if i want to play vs AI.

The next and hopefully last patch will have just the new scripts included. If you installed the 1128b, then you have the new scripts. But with that patch you also get the old scripts. That's how it is right now....GP

Yeah i see now, i have 2022 files and lots of 2010 ones as well. Am i safe to just delete 2010 ones (aei001-02 etc), they are just different variants that can be chosen, right? And i want 2022 one to be "chosen"

Yes you can do that. But I would cut and paste the old files to a safe location....GP

The reason why I wrote that you don't need the new scripts is that you are still learning the game, the older scripts are fine for that. In fact, you can set it up so a new script will run each time that you play the game so the AI will do different things each time. Some things will still be the same but other ones will be different.

But to learn the game before playing the campaign game, try those two scenarios first to learn how things are done.

In this video I will discuss how damaging Allied SIGINT can be for the Japanese player, and ways for you to manage what the enemy can see. I'll also show you some tips and tricks for "spoofing" the Allied player into believing the situation is different than what it really is.
