2.0 and campaigns made for 1.5

[Simicro]

Hi,

 

When 2.0 will be released officially, I am wondering what the numerous campaigns built for 1.5 will become? I imagine that campaign developers will need to make some adjustments if they want their DLC work properly with the new Caucasus?

It is hard to say for sure because stuff like AI behavior should be the same. However there is a sizable risk of a many relatively small changes effecting things. Stuff like terrain differences, slight changes to road networks, and building and tree placement. I imagine people are going to have to give their missions a look over to verify if anything needs changed. Unfortunately its not something that can be automated.

Very important for all dlc campaigns and campaigns included with the modules. I would expect them to work out of the box when 2.5 is released on the production branch - or pulled from the store.

Thanks for your feedback and view Grimes and tintifaxl.

I am sure the creators and Testers will check them out to the best of everyones ability and try and work out as many if not all issues with them before it hits the release branch...

Perfect!

WRT 3rd party DLCs, I will mention that we (or at least Baltic Dragon and I) do not have access to ED's development build, so expect some adjustment period from folks like us. We'll all be seeing 2.5 together for the first time!

I'd love it if things were good to go out-of-the-box, as you put it, but there may be some tweaks required as Sith mentions. :)

I am hoping for an extended Early Access period for Campaign testers and Content creators to pour over all this. I am sure ED is aware.

That would be great! :thumbup:

Yeah that would be great. And rest assured we will go over the campaigns and make sure that everything works properly (perhaps even tweaking them here and there as we're at it) :)
