I put up a third server that is testing the Campaign mode. Only had a few minutes this morning to have a look at it. Seems an interesting take on TE battles. I really paid little thought to what maps I included in each zone but apparently you can get them somewhat true to the region.
Anyway have a look when you can. Server name is Aussie / NZ Campaign test
This is how the Campaign is structured. I am still learning how it all works but from what I have gathered the first part defines the names of each region and the second part denotes what maps are contestable in each region.
So if you win a map you get to choose a region to attack that is next to where you currently occupy and then you choose a map within that region if there is more than one.
Below is the maps I have (second part) at the moment but it was a random grab of maps. If someone wants to put some thought into a better list, i am happy to try some different combinations
First Part

TerritoryNames[7]=Ouest" ( west )
TerritoryNames[8]=Centre" ( central )
TerritoryNames[9]=Sud" ( south )

It seems to me that currently when attacking Red October Factory as Germans the win doesn't result in a territory turn over. =/
Or I need sleep.
Only real major issue I encountered so far but even so it's an awesome game mode.
Thanks mate I'll pass that error to someone that can look into it.
I have just tweaked the map list again and will

At the moment I don't want to pull players from the other Aussie / NZ server. No point in having 30 players in each server at the start of the night. So put a password on the campaign server which i will remove when the other Aussie / NZ server fills.
It was fun, even though I joined past halfway in the German campaign. At the end of the day it's pretty basic, but I like the idea of a more realistic connection between the maps.
Played it last night while i was drunk, it was quite enjoyable
Also a good break away from all the noobs that have infested the other server

RO2 is one game I haven't played when drinking because it requires significantly more concentration than other games, especially when in a command role. Stupid alcohol... how did the Russians do it?Also the noobs that can't join the normal server overflow into the other servers. Hooray.
First ever campaign event was a completely success. Many people participated from start to finish and it was pretty close throughout.
One bug discovered: the TL can call artillery without any cooldown timer on Univermag.
As I recall arty timers are map dependent, so that may not be a bug.
I just updated the map flow after a few suggestions from Pariah.
Made it so Station can flow into Univermag and then into Fallenfighters.
Seperated RedOctoberFactory and Rakowice as they both were trick attacking options.
