X-com inspired Open General mod
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:23:46 pm »
Not so long ago I made a mod for the Open General platform (Turn based engine of the Panzer General 2 but wastly extended and expanded and as fully moddable as Open X-com) what is more or less based upon X-com. It interprets my version of the aliens history as how they crossed through the space and subjugated many races to twist them to those abominations what appeared on Earth finally.

The mod's installer's link and some description could be found here:
https://panzercentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=132&t=50241

But before you do anything with the downloaded exe (what is the installer) go here for the basic Open General and a very good description how to use, set up or mod it:

Hope you will like the mod and it's story!

P.S.: Here are some screenshots for you to help you decide toward a big "Yes, I wanna play it now!"

Looks really good. Great job! Wish more modders would make mods based on the classic X-COM universe. Anyone remember the HL2 mod? It died just like other ambitious mods.

Wow, it really looks impressive. I've always wanted to play Panzer General series but couldn't decide where should I start. Can you give me some advice? Then later I might look for this mod.

How do you mean "where should I start"? For gaming I advice Fantasy General from the classic five stars series and Panzer General 2\3D (3D for germany otherwise it called PG2) to understand the game mechanics of Open General where this X-com mod belongs to.
Otherwise you may starts on the Open General forum: https://panzercentral.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=132
And if you feel yourself ready this is my mods topic: https://panzercentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=195&t=50241

Hope I could help in any ways.
