Non-linear campaigns?
I downloaded WoG last night for the first time, and still trying to figure out how far out it pushed the envelope.
One thing I would have really liked is non-linear campaigns, where the next scenario is not fixed, but depends on how the player ends the current scenario. Is there any provision for this in WoG?

I don't think anyone's done it yet but it could certainly be done. You can transfer certain variables between maps so you could record information during or at the end of one map with various scripts and have a script in the next map set some things up depending on the values of the variables transferred.

Fnord,
Yes, I knew it could do that much. What I had in mind, though, was completely different maps - more than you could practically achieve by modifying the one map based on carried-over variables. I was hoping that you could do something like dynamically set the name of the next scenario during the current one.

I see. No, that's not currently possible but it may be something Slava could do at some point. Not 3.58 but maybe 3.59 or a later update.
