.: September 30, 1997 Mode(s) single-player, 4 player multiplayer via Internet, network, or Panzer General II is a. Released September 30, 1997, Panzer General II is the sixth in the ' series and the first in the 'Living Battlefield ' series. It takes place during, covering events from the in 1938 to hypothetical battles in 1946. In the April 2000 issue of the magazine, it was voted the 44th best computer game of all time. (The highest rating in the General series.) The game was re-released in 2010 on. Contents. Gameplay The game of Panzer General II is divided into scenarios, each representing a specific battle.
All are played on a, which is divided up into hexagons that represent between one and two kilometers. At the beginning of the game, the entire map is revealed to the player, but enemy units are covered by and are not visible. Each hex is assigned one of thirteen terrain types that penalize or assist the movement of units. Mountain, city, and forest types block line of sight. The game also features four kinds of capatureable hexes marked a flag indicating the country owning it: ownership, designating a player's ownership of a city, town or other important feature; supply, allowing unit deployment; victory, indicating critical cities or objectives; and victory-supply, combining victory and supply. The objective is to defeat an enemy by capturing all of their victory hexes in a specified number of turns. The player attacks enemies and captures hexes by moving units, which approximately represent a battalion, regiment or squadron.
There are eight types of units, each with different properties: Infantry, Tank, Anti-Tank, Recon, Air Defense, Fighter, Artillery, and Bomber. Each unit is assigned a numerical value to represent its movement (in hexes); its line of sight (in hexes); its attack abilities against armored targets, unarmored targets, ships, and airplanes; its defense against ranged, close, and air attacks; as well as values for and remaining ammunition and fuel. The final value, health, is represented by a number, usually 1 to 10. When attacking or defending, the unit receives experience points based on the amount of damage inflicted to its enemy (also some points are received when damage is caused by the enemy). Each 100 experience points correspond to one experience level (a value ranging from 0 to 5). When attaining a higher level, unit may also receive a famous leader, granting it some special abilities. The in-game currency used to measure unit buy and upgrade costs is called 'prestige.'
It is gained by capturing scenario objectives or as a reward for a quick and decisive victory. The standard game contains many real life scenarios; however, similarly to other games of the series, players will be able to play some hypothetical scenarios if they perform exceptionally in their command career. For example, Germany can invade and capture the by capturing or they can invade with Italy. Again, if the player attains victories in the east and defeats the Soviet Union, can invade the from the and then march to to capture a prototype of a US.
Strategy The player's pieces are carried between scenarios: optimizing what is effective in one scenario (say aircraft) may lead to problems in a subsequent scenario where what is effective differs. Optimal strategies, especially between the scenarios in a campaign, can be complex. Changing game characteristics At the beginning of a scenario or a campaign, the player can select the amount of points gained for capturing supply points. (This, in turn, affects how many units and how strong the player units are.) The manual states that the intention is to make for a more or less challenging game, but the actual effect is rather different, since to some degree the computer player adjusts strategy to compensate for the human player's strengths. The player is also allowed to choose which side to play in individual scenarios (but not in campaigns).
Patches and modifications There are only two official game patches released for Panzer General II, 1.01 and 1.02; they are available only for UK, US, German and French language versions (no patch was ever released for the Japanese version). Because the game in version 1.02 had many bugs left and severely limited the freedom of designing custom game data (scenarios, campaigns, maps and units), a number of were made. A 2.20 patch is available, and the release of the game offers both v1.02 and v2.20 out of the box. Any further updates are unlikely, due to lack of activity from the unofficial patch maintainer and because of of PGII.

This page contains information about upgrading a standard game of PG2 to include all the new mods and patches (and is only concerned with upgrading single-player PG2). Last Update: June 3, 2010 This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of how-to instructions, rather it is just a list of upgrades and links. You will have to figure a lot out out yourself, but none of these upgrades are difficult and plenty of help is available if you need it. If you have any problems downloading these files, they are all available elsewhere; just look at my page for other PG2 sites. If you have any questions, please or post a question on one of the forums listed on my links page.
Note, all these downloads are on Wargamer.com's FTP site - if you have any download problems please contact me. P lease note that an alternate complete download of PG2 setup for the Adlerkorps Equipment File is available. This is the best way to upgrade the game - all you have to do is change the equipment file and various graphics as necessary. The graphics upgrades are available.

Move the maps from your CD to your hard drive.
This is important to play most user made scenarios and campaigns (and is vital if you are using Windows 2000 or XP, since the game will not work with the CD in the drive for these versions of Windows). The instructions to move maps are - my best advice is to follow the instructions exactly and you will have no problems. Once this is done you can remove the CD from your drive. In the future as you add new maps put the graphics (the.shp files) in the new 'MAP' folder and the map information (the.map files) in your 'SCENARIO' folder. You can get all the map files from the. Music and Voice Briefings.
Once the CD is out of the drive, you will have to do one of the following two things (even if you normally do not listen to the music or briefings). Turn music and briefings off completely. Open any scenario. Select additional options.
Select music volume. Click the on/off button above the volume slide. This will stop the game trying to access your CD drive and dramatically slowing the game down. NOTE: EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO THE MUSIC YOU HAVE TO TURN IT OFF!! Listen to the music and briefings. Copy the complete contents of the 'sound' folder on your CD to an identically named folder in your main PG2 folder on your computer.
Select all the files and de-select the 'read-only' attributes (just like you did with the maps in '2'). Then you have to run the game using the 'unofficial' patch (see below). Upgrade the game graphics (the 'datup'). You need to update the file 'panzer2.dat' (which contains most of the graphics you see in the game) with additional graphics. Get the latest 'datup' (this latest version is actually a panzer2.dat ready to copy into your main program folder) - 26.75MB. Upgrade the game sounds (the 'soundup').
Like most programs you pay for, Adobe Acrobat requires that you enter a unique before using it. Pcd magic serial number lookup. So, before you can install or reinstall Adobe Acrobat, you'll need to find the serial number that came with the program. You might be able to find your Adobe Acrobat serial number if you've uninstalled the program but only if the serial number information was left in the. If you've lost your serial number, there's a very good chance you can retrieve it but only if Adobe Acrobat is still installed and the computer it's on is working.
You need to add new sound effects, download - 18.68MB. If you choose not to install the new sound effects the game will work fine, but some actions will be silent. Install the unofficial patch.
This is an unofficial patch that adds a number of enhancements for both players and modders. For most newer campaigns and scenarios you have to use this patch. This mod is called a patch, but it is simply a replacement program to run PG2. Please note that you must have installed the official PG2 patch first! The latest version of the unofficial patch is 2.20 and you can get it - 405KB. NOTE: The unofficial patches only work with English language (US and UK) versions of the game; or with upgraded French/German versions.
For users of French and German versions you have to upgrade all the text files (files ending in either.deu or.fra) to text (.txt) and remove a number of characters that cause the US and UK versions to crash (and the unofficial patch is basically a modified UK version of the game). There is a tool to do this the - 1.49MB. Other graphics upgrades. The tool will change the flag, leader pictures and (optionally) the start screen graphics for different equipment files.
