Important Note:
(*) indicates parts of sections of the rules of the game, which are currently under revision or for further development and therefore not suspended. WW2Total is under continuous development and improvement, so that such temporary restrictions or changes to the rules of the game can not be avoided, unfortunately. These sections will be released and available with one of the following free updates.
Please check that your computer corresponds to the minimum requirements of the game, which are specified further down and on the game homepage http://ww2total.com . It is extremely important that your computer fulfills these minimum requirements, so that the game runs without troubles.
All nations deliver all their instructions at the same time in successive, fixed order cycles.
At the beginning the starting screen of the respective nation appears, with indication of the period for which the orders must be plot.
The camera is placed over the capital.
After
all nations have delivered their instructions, the execution of this
takes place. This is called evaluation.
Here
all phases, as described in the preceding sections, are processed
gradually, whereby the instructions of all players come in each phase
in an different order to execution.
For this
reason, the result of the evaluation
can be very
different from that of the order
phases
results. However, this simultaneous
gameplay
is a much more realistic and better entertainment than the
traditional one player after the other
player orders.
Offensive battles can be played optionally as First Person Shooter Battles, increasing the action in WW2 Total dramatically. Additional, it gives the players the opportunity to view their constructed and operational units in combat, together with their strengths and weaknesses. And last but not least, the outcome of the battle could be influenced by the tactical abilities and reactions of the player.
These
First Person Shooter Battles are
nothing else than FPS-combat
in real time, whereby each unit on the strategic map represents one
figure on a limited battlefield.
The outcome of the battle (losses
of units and victory) will be transferred to the strategic map.
If
problems arise during the installation or at using the software, we
would like to help you gladly. There are possibilities of
guaranteeing that the newest games run on your computer properly.
Following these possibilities are specified and should fix the
most frequent problems, which can occur when playing the latest games
with DirectX.
