Guys - I am working on campaigns now for my next Napoleonic title. There are several campaigns in this one and I am using a different style of campaign file for each one.
Style 1 - campaign took place over a period of several months. No carry over of casualties. Different OBs are setup with "expected campaign losses" accounted for already. Different armies mean newer units. Its going to be a fun one to play.
Style 2 - typical multi branch - can go all over the place - type campaign. I have to keep the choices amount low so as to not build a 100 branch monster (branch is a decision point in a campaign file).
Style 3 - historical campaign - the player plays through the campaign using the historical battles with some deviance at each point.
Campaign 1814 had a lot of campaign files in it .. I plan on including Solo campaigns in this one as they are popular with the majority of our customers who tend to play solitaire only. Its not terribly hard to add in the AI scripts so once i finish up the campaigns I will go back and add in the solo scenarios.
Altogether probably 8 - 10 campaign files.
One of the campaigns will be about a famous battle - the players will have their choice of options as to where they want to post their units. Should be a good one to play!
Plowing ahead despite pain (Sciatica and now lower back) and enjoying the progress. Joe Amoral made me a nice background map that I am using for both the maps for the campaign situation,decision and overview maps and the ones that Mike Avanzini used to make for me - the PDF files you find in the main folder which show how the historical campaign progressed.
I also am using the map editor to build "large scale" maps to portray areas that are not suitable for the map the Joe made. Kind of an interesting look and it compliments Joe's map well.
Overall this will be my favorite game of all of them that I have worked on. There are a ton of unique battles - no critic will be able to say "he took 14 battles and made 600 scenarios out of them"
Altogether I count something like 32 unique battles or actions. (and no, this is not a Peninsular or 1807 game
been getting asked that a lot lately)
