Brand-New MOD Available NOW !!! (05.03.2021)

[Unwichtig]

Good afternoon everyone,

Update: The NEW POTZBLITZ MOD V.12 is out now! (Since 05.03.2021)

I am just advertising it here as I know it took the Modder many months creating and upgrading it. If you like Commander – The Great War, give it a try. It´s definitely worth it, especially if you like a true challenges and hex based strategy games. I have been playing this little fantastic ´hidden gem´ for +800 hours now. It stays interesting as there are frequent updates adding more and more events.

After many years of developing and adding new stuff, the game now includes a very impressive variety of events that can be chosen by each player. Entente and Central Powers can pick from completely different event pools, it´s incredible. The Multiplayer server is still online and very accessible, so challenging each other is still possible.
MP games are epic.

If you haven’t read my previous, detailed POTZBLITZ MOD review, it can also be found in the General Discussion on Steam. Take your time and read it. I wrote it about ´300 Potzblitz gaming hours´ ago.

If you just want to know what’s new in the upgrade, here is a brief summary:

+ Germany can now choose from multiple Offensive WW1 plans prior to game start (Schlieffen’s Legacy, Aufmarsch Ost, Rupprecht Plan or the classic historically correct plan) This ensures that players experience four completely different gaming experiences – Each one is linked to different events. Replay value is high.

+ Many new events have been added (I.e.: Complete the TIRPITZ Naval Expansion plan, Commission Norwegian Convoys, The Pig-Massacre, Construct the Rhine bridges, French counter-offensive on Alsace-Lorraine,…)

+ Many changes on the map (New cities have been added, re-named or re-located to make it more accurate, additional fortresses have been added, the alpine region is more difficult to cross etc.) The changes lead to new strategies and open new options

+ Lots of work on gaming balance (Many high-tech weapons, i.e. Armoured trains, tanks, fighter aircraft and railroad guns are now limited depending on the researched tech-level). This then making focused research more important and prevents players from conducting unrealistic moves (i.e. achieving a frontline-breakthrough by just using dozens of poor-quality fighter aircraft etc.)

+ New Victory Conditions for Germany (Conquer the Baltic Region vs. Conquer Poland)

+ Starting positions of armies slightly adjusted / changed.

+ Many more things (i.e. new sound effects etc.).

Give it a try. The brand-new MOD can be found here (Only one file, download it, copy & replace the downloaded and unzipped ´data´ folder into the main CTGW folder, that’s it.):

whatever it is, no one use jgme

from your screenshot, i guess u dont even use steam version of the game

u need 1.66 version of the game, at your screenshot there is mentioned russian 1.62 mod

[Unwichtig]

The MOD only supports the english language.

There are easily +500 Events / Pop-up messages, dozens of short biographies of ww1 admirals/generals - Even the entire game manual is in written in english. (Yes, the Modder even created a selfmade, brand-new manual which is part of the download!).

Its been created by a single person and there is no chance that this will be translated into any other language.

The MOD is extremely easy to install. Click on the link and you will find a simple explanation. Download, unzip, copy and replace into the data folder. Thats it.

If it weren 't for the revolution , the Russians would have won ! So they are still weak in the mod, you need to make them stronger )

They were pushed back deep into their homeland and their armies were in a desolate condition...

What would have happened if the Germans had not agreed to an armistice in 1918? Did Germany have a chance to finish the First World War more successfully?

Thank you great mod. I played the original version at the hardest level, I played for the Central Powers and I won already in 1916, too easy ..... and now I started playing potzblitz mode. AI is literally killing me, it’s too powerful compared to my units. battles are literally 3 or 4 to 1 in his favor. The mod is very interesting but very difficult.

Potzblitz mod is easily among the best mods ever made.

Just checking in again. According to my savegames I played this mod Jan 2020 the last time. Excited what was added since then!
Seeing the documentation pdf alone is worth saying: great mod

Unfortunately I can only run this game in 1080p, at native screen solution I cannot acces any on the menu on the bottom. Not in 1440p, 4k, vsr / dsr doesn't matter.
Maybe worth remembering for the next installment

Well, I won't find out game crashes right after pressing launch. Too bad, guess the newer hardware doesn't like this mod.
