DCG v5.5 has been released for original Men of War as of December 24 2018. If you downloaded it before January 5 2019, you may want to re-download or install the two patches to fix minor issues that were found after release.
There will likely be a DCG 5.5 release for Call to Arms later.
Most of the changes to the program are under the hood or still work in progress. We decided to release anyway because of the biggest change for version 5.5: the inclusion of vehicles, cannons, soldiers and even an airplane for a new nation in DCG:
The Polish Army has arrived in DCG!
A friendly reminder: do not use any assets from this mod without permission from Zeke Wolff!
Enjoy!

Hello, is there any information about converting/adding new units? I'd like to convert DCG (MOW:AS2 in particular) to use different units for a mod (private mod of course).
EDIT: I meant to say: I can figure out most things myself, but I was wondering if there was any documentation to speed it up.
Depends. If you want to add/convert units from other GEM related games (like from GoH) its just a matter of comparing .def and .mdl filed to get it to work.
New vehicles from scratch, if you still can find it online, Cromtec made a really good tutorial on how to export etc.
New units from other games, like World of Tanks, is a different matter since you need to rip them from the game and import tmem into 3ds max, rig them etc and then export them into the game just like you would do with a unit made from scratch.
~Zeke.
It's been pretty easy so far, only thing I'm running into issues with is getting the path to a unit texture. I thought I had it but I haven't been able to do it so far.
Hello,
how can I change the maximum number of troops in the files?
In the campaign overview (where you buy the units) you have a limit on how many troops you can have.
You can increase this with wins, but there is a hard limit.
How can I increase this hard limit in the files?
1)You have to go to the XML-folder (within the Campaign-folder):
For me it is C:\Program Files (x86)\505games\1C\Men of War\mods\Campaign\xml
2) In the XML folder you will find the file "Settings"
3) Open this file (with Editor) and change the value in the line "unitsbasemax" (I have increased the value from 20 to 999)
4) Save the changes... and have fun!
Since I am not the coder of DCG, I am not sure if you can change the hard limit. It might be hardcoded. If not, my only advice is to check within the .xlm files. Not sure if Jason1 is still around, havent heard from him since 2020/21.

Hi gentle Zake, there is a way to restore the ennemies on the minimap.
Thank you
Thank you! I have understood by myself!
Hi Zeke. Considering how much better this mod is than any of the later conquest campaigns added to men of war, is there any plans of porting it to any of the later installations of men of war? Specifically thinking of Men of War 2 when it comes out, especially if it's conquest campaign ends up being ****.
Or is the mod pretty much locked to being Men of War Vanilla only at this point?
Also, would you ever consider releasing the source code/allowing someone to port the mod themselves to any of the other versions of men of war (obviously with all credits given)?
Personally, I was thinking of trying to rework the map/mission selection section, and trying to turn it into a Risk style territory conquest minigame, or just adding compatibility for all the extra units and equipment that were added by mods like Valour all over the years.
Hi there, and Merry Christmas!!!
Sorry for this late comment, just checking today moddb.
I play lots of time the version for AS1 of this mod, for a bit better quality. :)
I added lots of models, just for me, from where I can put hand on(VLSS, AS2, I try GOH(aa Opel Blitz), but not figure out how to work). I make more nations, like Greece, Polish(zeke's ones) and now trying to add France.
Few more maps from AS1, I try from AS2, but not know how to make it to work.
I want to add some features from AS2 like digging trenches/personal foxes, auto supply, or from GOH following path/road for vehicles, auto medic.
And the bigger dream, I want to control planes in mission (I love planes>> I saw a mod called>> Air Missions of War v1.2 by Cosalcea for AS2). But no idea how to do. I need help.
Can you, please, give me your steam/discord name account, maybe you will help me to solve some problems one day.
All the time when have issues I was asking Zeke, and thank you for all the help you provide.
Thanks,
For the moment, there is, as far as I know, no plans to port the mod to either MoWAS2 or Gates of Hell. Can't say anything about the mod being ported to MoW2 when that game is released, since I dont know anything about the game, other than it is being worked on. In other words, for the moment, the mod is locked to Men of War.
I havent tested the Gates of Hell version of DCG since I dont have access to the latest versions of GoH so I cant say anything about that game/DCG. Gates of Hell. Surprised though that you say that this version of DCG is worse than the mod DCG since Gates of Hell developing team do consist of one or more members of the old DCG modding team. But if the DCG in Gates of Hell is even vaguely similar to the one included in MoW Cold War, I honestly do understand why you say that the original DCG mod is much better.
For release of source code; the source code is owned by Jason1, who is the coder and inventor of DCG, I have nothing to do with that part. I am only responsible for the new 3d models and maps that is included in the mod. Jason1 did release the source code once, but when people misused it, he removed the source code from public. I havent talked to any of the DCG members in months and my current situation in life, doesnt allow me to spend much time in front of my computer.
~Zeke.
Thanks for the answer. As far as the DCG mode in Gates of Hell, it's mission generator and objective handling is on par with DCG, maybe better when you look into small details. The thing that mostly sucks is the way unit procurement works. There's no year settings or unlocking rare units, instead you get a tech tree that's tied to your faction and once you unlock that unit, you can buy it between missions at any time. There's no inventory management on the same level as DCG and there's even no capturing of enemy equipment. Hence why I think the DCG mod is superior. The only real advantage of Gates of Hell DCG is that it easily works with multiplayer, but for me personally that was never the point of the mod anyway.
