I think the next scenario, Case Blue, will be all new for you?! I hope you'll like it

I saw a missing file from my ATOMIC efile on your list but now the entry is gone :huh Anyway, one should always use the latest version of the efile, downloadable from dropbox. The version that comes with the game is not supported and must be very old. I asked to take it down a long time (must be yea...

How about a staged release? :dunno If players complete a scenario each day it takes months to complete the campaign. I would happily play the new early scenarios and you can keep playtesting and modifying the later scenarios. You will never finish the campaign because you will always be improving i...

I am also working to add more after scenario texts with historic WW2 situation maps and short informations about the battles. I don't know if players read this but i really want to create the best playing experience ever

When can we expect the new release of weltkreig? After a 6 week holiday I am eager to play but I have played the current release enough times. Looking forward to some changes :cool I am happy to hear that you like the campaign :banana I finished building the next scenario, using the new Vyazma map....

I made a big mistake :lol I started playing Free Col / Colonization again and now I am addicted again :lol And I never finish the game (which ends with the independence of the colonies after a revolutionary war). When I am close to the end I simply start a new game because I think I can do better - ...

I'll figure out how to fix this, unless someone wants to go over the mapx file and update Gilestiel's depository. You can easily fix the names in your scenario. Basically you can fix any data from the map/mapx file in your scenario. Names, terrain, roads, etc. Sometimes errors happen when creating ...

Thank you very much

Thank you

:howdy No, no --> I'm talking about a map made completely from scratch, on a different scale than the previous one. All the glory to you (Zorin only made this non-standard, autumn landscape) How long did you work on this map? - you considered "mud roads", right? The oringinal map had a mu...

Quite a nice map :clap What scale did you use? (km/hex) Thank you! I used the grafics of map 741 by Andrey Zorin. So shout-out to him :yes The scale of my map is around 1,9km for the width of one hex. See the 0 in the center and that there are almost 2km to the left in one hex: https://i.imgur.com/...

Another map is finished:

Number: 1593
Name: Vyazma (3K)
Location: Russia
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000

Please keep in mind that you not only have to add the nations flags but also the pictures for dossier medal dossier portrait inspect leader inspect medal roundel to the various files found in the opendat folder of the efile. When editing the files make sure they always have the correct width in pixe...

There are many such (very old) bugs at mapfinder. Maps assigned to a wrong country or split into several countries or assigned to entities that are not even a country. For example, Midway is part of the British Virgin Islands. Borneo (not a country) shows the flag of Brunei. And so on... When i subm...

I can confirm the bug reported by none, using the latest version of OG from 1 February 2025.

EDIT: I don't know why i did not notice it before

I am curious to see with what you come up with regarding the maps :cool - In short, you're a real godsend! :notworthy Thank you :cheers I only wish I would not have wasted so much time with small maps at the beginning of my map making career :lol Pearl Harbor was my first 3K map, a map you requested...

(How many trees does a hex need to be declared as "forest"?) The eternal question :lol I try to be more precise nowadays, but it is not easy and takes a lot of time to check every hex again and again and add a tree here and there to make it more clear. Especially in some older maps of min...

Do you have your latest efile version for download? I'd like to take a peek and see which of my maps you use and how you use them. For me that's always very interesting to see!

I think there is a misunderstanding. For the new 15+ leaders something has to be set in suite right?
So no old campaign will give you more than 15 leaders!

Please no more changes! We experience some serious bugs lately and with every change people ask it gets worse

It works

Thank you Luis

Same here! I'm not a developer and have no right to ask for anything. But boy! how I wish to play a long campaign without leaders and protos :nods What about leaders that are given to the player by the designer :naughty It is possible to deactivate leaders for certain classes in the campaign cfg fi...

Sounds promising! Because most of the aux units are not visible at deployment. They are nowhere to be seen. Fingers crossed :ihope :yes I was right, the choice's map size was responsible for the crash, when some unit deployed was out of the choice's map area. :banana That explains why it did not ha...

:idea Browsing the code I think that I've found which, probably, is the reason of the crashing, after a choice scenario. Maybe the choice's map size is kept when loading units, instead of updating the size to the proper one, and then some units are not properly configured as the loader assume they ...

I made some tests with LXF and the "We search for ways" campaign and the choice scenarios work fine. And the crashes i experience after a choice scenario with Atomic only started to happen with the newest version of OG. Honestly, it is very frustrating because I don't see where I made a mi...

As reported before, I have the same problem, but only in a scenario directly after a choice scenario. After deployment the game immediately crashes to the desktop. This started to happen after the update to the newest version of OG. Since nobody seems to play other campaigns with choice scenario I w...

Just a quick intermezzo. This one was a request from Matze, a clean ocean map without land:

Number: 1597
Name: Ocean (3K)
Location: Not Applicable
Period: WWII/Modern
Map size: 3150;3000

What happens if I keep win10 on my desktop PC?
My old laptops use win7 and they still run without problems.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Please correct me, but i think the size of the user interface, menu, buttons, windows and panels always stays the same - no matter the resolution setting. It is just that for example in the game the map becomes bigger with a bigger resolution and more hex are vis...

Is a great battle. I think maybe from add exp to enemy units, maybe some reinforcements from south make this more tricky. :huh Good idea. I had already edited some enemy units but I will keep your idea in mind and first see how it goes next time. Battle of Novgorod '43 Because I very much love the ...

Battle of Arkhangelsk At HQ i bought attachments only in anticipation of the Panther A coming next scenario. After deployment I sent my paratroopers and 1/3 of the ground units to the north, the rest to the south. Some of the northern group's naval transports disembarked very late but in close dist...

Battle of the White Sea At HQ I bought only attachments. After deployment I sent my army southwards along the coast while the paratroopers flew to the very southeast. The ships and marines operated on the Solovetsky Islands (site of the first Gulag) at the edge of the map. Due to the rough arctic t...

There's a new proto choice prior to the Steppe Blitz scenario. The player has the choice between a Italian bomber or fighter or a Romanian combat support SPAT. All units come with 12sp. I am sure there's a new bug and that's why the choice scenarios do not work anymore, so I directly linked the camp...

I also noticed that one of my icons is used for 4 different units, but it should be used for one. Anyone know how to filter or sort by icon used in the OpenSuite editor? I really don't feel like browsing through a few hundred units for Poland... Tools -> Reports -> Icons Report You can show one lin...

Battle of Tanganyika II At HQ i bought attachments only. I want to keep the prestige for upgrades in the next scenarios. Deployment on the mainland is limited and the rest of my army had to sail in from Zanzibar. The enemy is aggressive and attacking our VHs along the coast while enemy paratroopers...

Battle of Tanganyika I At HQ i tweaked attachments, bought an artillery and upgraded two infantries. After some turns I bought another recon plane. Deployment is limited until the player captures on of the ports of Zanzibar. So I deployed two small groups of units in the north and south. The northe...

Hallo Matze, Daniel und ich haben gerade deine Konvertierung von Clu´s Seelower Höhen angespielt. Die von dir eingefügte Siegbedingung ( wo auch immer) win by taking any flag macht das Ding eigentlich unspielbar, weil die Deutschen immer ein flaghex für die Rückeroberung finden. Kannst du Aufklärun...

Siege of Habbaniya Deployment is limited to 30 ground units and so I bought only attachments at HQ. The player also gets a free 12sp infantry unit. After deployment I split my army into two battlegroups and sent one to the east and one to the north. The northern group was too fast :) and later some...

The Suez Canal At HQ I bought another tank and fighter. After deployment I split my army into several groups. Once operates in the north towards Port Said on the small spit od sand between the sea and the lake. One operated in the west and moves southwards. In between there were units moving to the...

Battle of Alexandria At HQ I tweaked attachments only. Used my usual setup with one battlegroup going directly to Alexandria and one battlegroup operating in the east while the paratroopers flew to the northeast. Alexandria is always a bit crowded and some of my units got stuck in the traffic and d...

Battle of Siwa Oasis At HQ i tweaked attachments and upgraded one fighter into a combat support fighter for 1700pp. After deployment my units rushed to the south to relief the Italian aux units around the Siwa Oasis. The paratroopers flew to the southeast. The fastest units later joined the paratro...

Battle of El Alamein At HQ i bought another tank and bomber. This time I'll skip the Tiger and directly go for the Panther once available. Thus I only bought a Panzer IV. After deployment i set up my defensive positions and waited for the enemy attacks and when most of the attackers were destoryed ...

Battle of Rhodes Deployment is limited again and so I bought an carrier only. With the carrier I can deploy 5 fighters and 2 bombers. This helped immensely in the opening turns where my air force was able to fight off the enemy planes around the northern tip of Rhodes. Apart from the planes I deplo...

Race to Sidi Barrani Deployment is limited, so I only bought some attachments at HQ. After deploying my troops, they rushed to the east while the paratroopers flew to very east to Sidi Barrani. The scenario is a rather easy one and BV was possible without problems. But of course i decided to play t...

Siege of Tobruk '43 At HQ i upgraded once fighter and bought another tank and infantry. After deployment I had smaller battlegroup operating in the desert southeast of Tobruk together with some Italian aux units. They later attacked the Tobruk defensive perimeter from the southwest, once the desert...

Tunisia Counterattack Upgraded three tanks and tweaked attachments. After deployment I organized my defense and when the enemy attacks started to decrease I launched my counterattacks. In the last 4 or 5 turns there was not much left to do and I played until all but one enemy unit had been destroye...

Operation Herkules At HQ i bought two bombers. Then i sold most attachments off of the tanks and bought attachments for the destroyers. After deployment my paras flew to Gozo where the engineers built an airfield in a unspotted hex. I also sent two ground units to Gozo. Most of my naval transports ...

Battle of Stalingrad III At HQ I buy one fighter and two sp for the ML-20, which is at its maximum of 17sp now. After deployment in the southwest my core units have to cross two rivers before they can enter the fight. Meanwhile aux units have to stand their ground in the Stalingrad pocket. The pock...

Must be magic or be caused by the older engine I use!? I get this message only when I use a unit which has already a leader. Perhaps Luis has an answer? :grumpy I have no idea. Maybe its a bug, or your version of the game is too old. We'll see what happens at the next trigger :lol Generally speakin...

Got my 16th leader which seems to be possible if you get it by the designers choice. This should not be possible, because I don't use the new settings that allow for more than 15 leaders :huh The leaders have to be set in suite and deployed (or however it works, I don't know) in the scenario by the...
