gradenko_2000 posted:The Panzer Corps Mega Pack is set to release tomorrow. No idea on the price, but it's basically a compilation of all 10 DLC campaigns that were made over the last year or so. That's about ~100 scenarios that you can take your Core through, and supposedly these new campaigns make heavy use of scripting and triggers to create challenges beyond just "get all these objectives by x date". You'll get to escort units, repel triggered counter-attacks, have your objectives change mid-mission, and scramble across multiple points on the map as the Allies launch staggered invasions on several beaches. I looked at Slitherine's homepage, and I'm a bit confused by the large array of products sold under the name Panzer Corps. Let me see if I have this franchise straight: 1) It's aiming to be an updated version of Panzer General. 2) Panzer Corps: Wehrmacht is the original game. 3) Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps is an expansion for PC:W. 4) The full, branching campaign from PG (AKA the main reason to play it) has been chopped up into many DLCs, one per year and front, e.g. 1941 West and 1941 East are two separate DLCs. 5) Panzer Corps: Allied Corps is an upcoming release that lets you play the Allies. It's not a standalone expansion; it's a new full game. Two things I didn't quite get: A) The main page for PC:W mentions core units and a campaign. I thought the campaign was sold as DLC. What's going on here? B) Is PC:AK a stand-alone expansion or not?

MiltonSlavemasta posted:drat, that was quick and helpful. I'll have to check out Panzer Corps; I tried out Unity of Command and it felt like breaking through enemy units and lines was absurdly difficult. I was probably doing something wrong there. Just be aware: if you liked the way Panzer General let you swap between East and West fronts more-or-less at will, Corps has none of that. It's a far more railroaded experience than General, so your ability to direct the course of the war is mostly gone. Disclaimer: I checked out Corps but didn't buy it after getting the above impression from the official FAQ and marketing materials.

Tarquinn posted:Is there a recent (like last decade) game with the depth/mechanics of Panzer General/Panzer Corps in a near future/sci-fi/alternate history or fantasy setting? Ever since the release of Panzer Corps I have the strong urge to play something like that again, but the WW2 setting bores me to tears. There's a game called Galactic Assault: Prisoner of Power that might be what you're looking for. Based off a Russian sci-fi novel.

Panzer Corps is a potential community fav on the Steam christmas sale, down to 80% off. Looks like the last bit of resistance to modern sales strategy is finally crumbling.

Fintilgin posted:GodDAMMIT, Battlefront. I bought a new graphics card and now none of the Combat Mission demos work anymore and even reinstalling doesn't fix it. Apparently I have to submit a 'help ticket' and get some sort of utility to erase the activation of my previous DEMO LICENSE(?!). Their DRM is seriously such bullshit that I'm very, very reluctant to buy anything from them. 2007-era DRM in the house.
