Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG) is a mod for the games "Men of War" and "Men of War: Assault Squad" that randomly generates skirmish missions and lets you keep your surviving forces from one battle to another. Some people find this mod tricky to install the first time - please read the readme.txt carefully and ask for help (if you need it) on our forums here on this site, or at the game developer's site.

WARNING: You may find this mod difficult to install. It is for singleplayer. DCG can also be difficult to win -- it is designed to force you to retreat and live to fight another day sometimes just like in real life, but there are many strategies you can follow to improve your chances of success and many things you can do to adjust the difficulty from the default - feel free to ask for suggestions or help!

Hi DCG users!
Version 3.5 is available for download now!
If you have problems downloading it, be aware that moddb was having trouble with GameFront's recent policy change in certain countries. [Update] In the comments section under each file, people have now posted the alternate moddb links.
Please note that the setup instructions have changed slightly. In particular, DCG now requires XNA 3.1 (instead of XNA 3.0, which Microsoft dropped the link for). The new link is in the readme.txt or setup.htm files included in the package. DCG works great in Windows 8, but may require an extra setup step of activating the .NET 3.5 framework. A link to the instructions for doing this is in the readme.txt or setup.htm files as well.
New features include the ability to give temporary orders to allied units when they are not engaged in combat, and new one-map operations that we call "transit missions" that you get when you switch regions (for example, if you change from North Africa to Western Europe). Please note that these missions which take place on ships or trains are new and are not as polished as the rest of DCG yet. We think they are fun and increase the sense of role-playing with your unit, but if you wish to "turn them off", you can do so by deleting the two files starting with "Transit" in the operations folder. Most other new features are listed in the readme.txt.
(If you get a U-Boat during a transit mission, note that you should never fire the torpedoes when moving!)
[Update] The Realism mod has been updated for DCG 3.5.
About a year and a half has passed since the last release, but we expect a shorter interval before the next one.
Have fun!
The DCG Team
[Update] I have replaced the main downloads to remove a menu music file.
[Update] The hotfix for Assault Squad ONLY has been re-uploaded with one more map fix included.
Most people are running DCG without trouble, but some users are asking for help with errors (which is good), but not giving us enough information to troubleshoot (which is not so good)... so I made a form below that you can fill out if you wish to report a problem which will help us respond more quickly.
Just copy the form below into your post and and fill it out, in addition to describing the problem:
1) Which version of DCG are you using (original, Assault Squad, or Vietnam)?
2) Which version of Windows are you using?
3) Where is your Men of War game installed (eg. C:\Games\1C Company\Men of War. Assault Squad)?
4) What were you doing when you encountered the error?
5) What is the text of the error message you see, if any?

This is definitely the most useful mod I have discovered for Men of War. The ability to randomize a campaign and create a group of grizzled vets through many missions is very appealing. In fact according to Steam I've clocked over 800 hours on the game. This mod has kept the game fresh the whole time and in conjunction with the ability to alter model files I can basically apply this system with any war fighting scenarios that are available. (Check out the Total Krieg mod for new models.) I'd give…

Not balanced at all, retarded money system. After 3 rounds you will get spammed by enemy with 20 tanks vs your 3 inf squads or 1 tank ( that's all you can get because you can't get more resources....

(Forget my other question) I have a problem, when I Extract all Maps to my Assault Squad save folder, I get an error from NET.Framework saying Exception "java.util.zip.ZipException" Error. My .NET Framework version is 3.5 on my Windows XP. What can I do?
I have already install Framework 4.0 and I still have the same problem... :(
Does this mod works with later patches like 2.05.15??? (Assault Squad)
Out of all the mods for this game this one is by far the greatest of them all.
Thank you very much!

ASSAULT SQUAD- Trying to extract the maps I get an error saying settings.xml points to the file resource/game.pak and it does in fact not exist. I already have the hotfix (which doesn't touch the xml file anyways as far as I can tell). The vanilla game functions properly so I have no idea what its problem is. The game version is 2.05.15 by the way.
Are you running a torrent version?
What a pain. I'll try installing from the DVD.
Oh grape! I'm so stupid! I was trying to install the normal MoW version on AS! How did I miss that?!
