It is some great news, indeed! It has been quite some time since the last release so it deserves an update for sure.

Thank you for the inspiration!
The only "problem" is, that after your BE and Turan scn scenarios, which are full of triggers and therefore with entertaining AI actions, some scenarios - especially, which were NOT made originaly by Nikivdd - are a little onesided, or even boring. Sometimes not really historical. (For example the Crete scn.) Of course, I could work on it to build triggers and test it and test it and test is, I just have the experience from Zrínyi campagin too, how much time it can take to make an enjoyable scn.
But I hope, still one day, you will play with the IC too!

I don't seem to be able to find an updated link that works properly for this mod. Does anyone have an updated link they can share?

The link is valid, although, it is working with the patch 1.22. Did you rename the doc extension to zip at the downloaded file? Or what was the issue?
As I finished with the development of the new IC version, I will upload it!

Screens looks very nice, I like it!

There will be also a lot of in-game messages with pictures. The briefings and after-battle analysis will be also with pictures to give the campaign even more immersion.

Thank you, I hope, you will like the upgraded campaign too!

I decided, that I add the possibility to use desert camo for Italian units too. The player can either change it with multipurpose option at the gift-armor, or simply make a free "upgrade" for the desert camo version and later "upgrade" it back to normal paintings, when the fightings are over in the desert.
The Brits and Americans have also their camo paintings, but that is not a news, because it was land-leased from the guys of the DMP team already in the earlier versions of the IC.

Oh my. As i was modding this campaign for my personal pleasure i stumbled over the the news for an updated campaign. What a treat.

The changes i want to make are cosmetic(transparent backgrounds for the award medals) and to have a have a upgrade line for the Macci line of planes.
Already changed the planes and the library accordingly.Im in the middle of converting the .png for the awards.
To bad im neither allowed to post screenshots as a new user (just entered the forum for this post) nor can i send them as a pm to you uhu.
if you want to have a look and know a reliable way for you to get the files just let me know. Btw you can use the images in your updated version if you so choose. Wouldn´t need mentioning either just consider it as
a thank you for the hours i allready enjoyed the campaing in its current form

Don´t know if it would interest you but i would be willing to translate all texts to german when your done with the update of the campaign. But not in advance i don´t want to spoil myself the updated experience

Best regards Carfax

I still have only the IC 2.0 (v 1.6). Is there a link to get the latest? I have enjoyed this effort by you and Nico.

Uhu · Post by **Uhu** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:50 pm

No, I'm working on the 1.9 version. Honestly, I actually do not work on it...I was hijacked with OOB: Winter War and as it's offizial campaign is so far from historical accuracy, I had not other option, than immediately work on that.

Sorry guy, for the later arrive of v1.9!
To give at least a status report, I'm about at more than half ready with it, or even more. I will playtest First El-Alamein, which is a campaign critical scn, so I do not want to haste over it.
I do not want to give promises - because than I cannot hold them

-, but I calculate a few weeks until OOB: Winter War is finished and than I will be back on IC v1.9

Oh my! Why didn't you contacted me earlier?

We could avoid double-work. I also modified the fighter upgrades completely and using Macci's as the main fighter type (although the RE-series can be also upgraded), because I took over my modified eqp stats from McGuba's Battlefield Europe mod. There are already all fighter icons there, made by Bebro, which looks really nice, so I think, they willbe good enough.
Medals have now also transparent background, imported from BE.

Understandable Uhu... You guys really do a lot in modding and I know it eats a lot of your time up. I will be patient and wait for good things. Good luck on OOB

Uhu · Post by **Uhu** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:58 pm

But, if you want to play it right now, I can divide the campaign files in several part and let it downloadable the first part, till, where I stand now. It is, as I wrote, there is already more than the half of it ready , so plenty of fighting are already there and you can see all the new features.
Let me all drop a feedback, if you want it right now, or you will wait until it it fully finished!

On the other hand, I'm really happy to see, that there are players, who also like to play the IC (besides me

)!

I will drop you a PM

Haha! Awesome to see this mod getting updated!

I guess i shall have to serve under Mussolini once more!

And how are things on the Hungarian front Uhu? I am still reluctant to finish that mod and get that empty feeling of reaching the cliffhanger ending

Oh, btw... did you incorporated the Bulgarian infantry fix? That problem that the Bulgarian units would become invisible and crash the game.
