Have you guys (developers) thought about getting in touch with Paul Lowengrin?

I am just throwing this out there. I know I am not the only one really desiring a dynamic campaign of some sort for Tobruk. I am indeed looking forward to some great static campaigns and I am excited to see what SeaSerpent has come up with ? -- but at the same time, I know if much of what I hope works out for Tobruk turns into fruition (and you guys do achieve a reasonable AI upgrade), I think the biggest, "Ugghh, if only it had..." for me, and I think a good portion of SP players will be a dynamic campaign engine.

 

I know you have approached the person involved with the dynamic mission creator tool from the past (and I heard it is a no-go). In my opinion, there are 3 parties that I know can do dynamic campaigns and do them VERY well - Patrick Wilson, OBD software, and Paul Lowengrin.

Pat is already I think very busy with working on and maintaining his excellent PWCG for both BOS series AND FC - and tbh, I wouldn't want him leave that project (or perhaps take on more than he can manage).

OBD continues to update and work on Wings Over Flanders Fields (new DLC coming) and then will likely shift to continued developement of WOTR series -- so they are out.

...but then there is Paul Lowengrin - creator of the fantasic DCG for good old Il2-1946 (who does still support and add minor tweaks here and there to it even to this day). I am wondering if the development team has thought about talking with him and seeing if he is perhaps interested in contributing to Tobruk in some way?

This DCG issue is no small matter. Good, replayable content may be a life or death matter for this game. I have been reading a lot lately of things that will be added "if the game succeeds", but really, such success may not even come if there is no quick mission builder and varied missions/campaigns.

 

Edit: may I add that the original CloD's idea of two static campaigns, one german and one english iirc, with some character storytelling etc. .... simply stank on ice. I hope we are not just getting more of that.
