Matrix Games Forums

I have decided to start a new thread for the multi-player version of Orb & Crown.

Whereas the single-player version offers a range of AI strategies and many random outcomes, the multi-player version aims to reduce the random swing to a minimum and keep the balance in the hands of the players.

The campaign file (extract to your ...\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\Campaigns folder). The file contains all campaign files, including the main .cgn file)

The Orb & Crown mod (extract to your ...\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\Mods folder and activate within the game settings)

There are many changes from both World at War and even the single-player version of Orb & Crown. A couple to be aware of:

• A diplomatic chit assigned to a country has a 100% chance of effecting a 7-11% swing of that country.

• The cost of diplomatic chits is 50 GP for aligned, not mobilized countries, increasing according to being a major, minor, or non-aligned country.

• Transports cannot use full-sail but have better defensive stats.

• Invasion transports reduce morale with an attack against a land target but do not cause damage.

• The Invasion research affects the number of invasion transports available, and Supply affects the number of standard transports available.

And others that do not come to mind.

I hope you enjoy the campaign, and please leave any comments in this thread.

If anyone would like to play this campaign mod, I have started two games in PBEM++ with the password of Dragon: one for each side.
