Scenario Replayability

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

Scenario Replayability

Post by bssybeep »

How replayable are the scenarios (against the AI)?

Does the AI have different starting positions or is this static?
Does the AI play out a given scenario the same everytime or is it dynamic?

ie, I'm mainly a solely player. So will replaying a scenario be new everytime or pretty much identical?

thanks!

Aside from the smallest scenarios, which have less variation, I find they play out differently each time. The scenario also determines how much setup variability there is, but even for those where the setup on Turn 1 is pre-defined, what happens after that varies considerably. There are 27 scenarios in total, including the point buy scenario where you can choose different forces by purchasing from a point "budget" each time and the vast majority are very replayable. I've played most scenarios at least ten times at this point and only the smaller ones are predictable, though I'm quite a bit better at them now than I was when I first started.

Also, if you enjoy playing both sides, they play very differently for Germans vs. Soviets.

There is also a full map and scenario editor.

The scenarios pretty much play out differently playing the AI. I haven't tried it but if I played one scenario a hundred times and always moved the same units the same way you would probably get some repetition on the AI's side.
