Strategic Command: World War I

[IronX]

The latest addition to the SC series is now available from Matrix and Steam.

If you get the game, feel free to try out my mod for it called the Blue Max.

Main features of the mod include:

- Original main and splash screen art - default and two alternatives
- Two choices of original counter art - NATO and hybrid that change with research
- Map enhancements, including new borders, fronts, fort and city icons
- Numerous new WWI-era sounds

Link to the mod is HERE on the Matrix forums

Once downloaded unzip all to the game's Mod folder:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWI\Mods

NB: If there isn't one there, you need to run the game at least once or create it manually.

Then activate the mod(s) in the game's Settings

Your mod is gorgeous work and is a must have in my opinion.

Bravo on your ongoing contributions to our community. I have enjoyed your work from back in the Squad Battle days. Thank you.

I agree!

Fantastic. I have the original SC: WWI - will your mod work with the original? I'm guessing 'yes' but you never know.

I need to get more info on how this new version differs from the original too.

Isn't the original on a completely different engine based on squares instead of hexes?

[Gusington]

I know in the marketing for this new version they make it clear it uses hexes this time around, but I don't know any more about the current engine. If it really is that different I will have to ready my wallet.

Beautiful work!  I've bookmarked this for when I buy the game.

I'm too swamped to buy and play it now - but this is definitely on my list.

From a brief perusal of the video the game has gone to hexes, they have put blockades on the screen, and there are a lot of modding opportunities.  The first Strategic Command WW1 had a lot of very easy options to mod the game engine which I used in campaign games.

Has it really been that long since the original's release?? Time is sneaking up on me.

Just got my Matrix 7 year thank you coupon, so it's all done except the crying now.

Ok this mod convinces me to get the game right now.  (Well after I get home from work anyway).

Looking forward to playing this one with this mod.  Thank you!

I will need to see how the naval part of the game works.  Don't like the current SC naval model at all and if it is the same here then I'll pass.  Any posts on the naval mechanics from you guys who buy the game will be appreciated.

Thanks, everyone!

Thanks, everyone!

Outstanding work as always IronX!!! I've always thought Tiller should pay you a stipend for bringing their titles out the ugly bucket! But then you go and add your talent to many other titles!

[The_Admiral]

That is gorgeous work indeed! 

[Martok]

IronX, your mod looks fantastic!  Any idea if will work with the GOG version?  (They have it on sale for 25% off, so I snapped it right up. 8) )
