The main menu |
![]() After the game has loaded all it's resources (and after the intro if starting for the first time) main menu in Projekt "W" - "Phase 2" is displayed. It's pretty easy to use, and in the root view you can directly access the different areas of the game. For singleplayer or multiplayer, the game will open up sub menus. For the other areas (credits, options), the game will open up their respective panels and display their details. The "options" panel contains global settings, like screen resolution, language, music and sound settings and some additional options. Note that changed settings will be saved when exiting the game, and will be restored when starting the game again. |
Starting a new singleplayer game |
If you want to start a new singpleplayer game (only one human player, all other nations will be controlled by the AI), open up the singleplayer submenu and select "new game". You'll now be moved to a new screen : ![]() Here you can select the nation you want to play during your game by simply clicking on it's waving flag. It'll be centered to the screen and the background will change to the nation's background. The first screen shows the modifiers for the nation that'll be applied to the various areas of the game, along with the nation's history. The other page (game mode) will display additional options. Here you can e.g. change your player name, select different game modes and difficulties. |
Starting a new multiplayer (hotseat) game |
Note : The only multiplayer mode is the "hotseat" mode, a mode where everybody plays on the same PC and one player takes it's turn after another. It's basicaly the same as a singleplayer game, but with more than one human controlled nation. There are some small differences though, e.g. there is now a time limit (can be changed for a new game) for your turns, and fading to the other player after finishing a turn makes the screen completly black for a short period of time.![]() This screen differs a bit from the new singleplayer game screen as you can set options for all the nations. So on the "nation" pane you can see the settings for all available nations and once. You can select wether they're controlled by a human player or by the AI (and also the difficulty level of the AI) and the starting funds. |
