KAISER GENERAL 1914-1916 V 0.3
FOR PG DOS
 

UPDATED!!  5 August 2000
We  have solved some minor Bugs in our "installation files" that caused some problems in the different Equipments. 

      Kaiser general is a new campaign for PGdos based
      on WWI simulation.
      It contains 33 new scenarios ,new units ,new unit's
      design, new  environment, new briefings. So the total
      file is a bit heavy to download!
 

      Testing a modified game of the size of PG is very long,
      and as if friends joined me to do so, bugs can still
      exist. So for avoid them in your playing i recommand
      to play with the animations turned off,and to make
      saves at the end of battles. By this way any bug in a
      battle don't affect your entire campaign play and
      dropping me a line to describe the problem will allow
      me to send you a repair of it! I hope it will be not
      necessary !

      You can actually play in Kaiser 5 campaigns, as in PG
      original but, due to the possiblity of doing later a
      second part with 1917-1918 scenarios the last battles
      of your campaigns are only empty maps where you
      can deploy your core units,overstrengh them and
      make a  saved game which  could be used in a second
      33 scenarios campaign.
      You can also play Kaiser in scenario mode.

-We have changed the installation system in some
 Campaigns.
-You must copy the file "CPKaiser.exe" in the root
 directory for game for instance C:\ PG  or the one you
 have.
- Run the file and a new subfolder will be automatically
   created. For instance C:\ PG \KAISER
- Here the important advantage: You CAN SHARE A
  SINGLE INSTALLATION of your PG program...for lot of
  different Campaings. When you want to launch the
  Original PG...just run the PG.bat file in C:\ PG but if
  you want to play the custom one...then launch the
  Game from FG.bat inside C:\ PG \KAISER
-If your System Crash while playing...you will find the
  original game files... inside Sub-Folders named "Bak"
  (if they exist, it doesnt means that you have lost
  anything...in fact they exist in order to protect you
  against game files loses.

    Rhinobones is a great developper of Panzer General who published in
his homepage and on Tortoise Page numerous scenarios based on a precise reconstitution of WWI for Panzer General.

    When i discovered his great work and played it,it appears to me that new unit icons would be necessary to offer the players a instantaneous vision of the battlefield and help them to know which WWI units they have under their control.So i began to draw them....

    The great number of scenarios designed by Rhinobones gave some of my friends he idea that i could try to assemble them in a campaign for PG.
So with the help of Rhinobones himself, Gerold Treitler- well known for his campaigns and manipulated saves for PG -and Santiago Vidal's great spirit i began the work you can actually test.

    I have modified a few scenarios for campaign purposes, introduced the primitive aviation of WWI in the limits of my knowledge,i fear that some scenario continuation are a bit irrealistic, but first i wanted to make a game, second i will be glad to know if you think in playing it i have succeeded.......-)-)
