PC Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 Translation

by Nebelwurfer

Progress Update - July 11, 2008

AD2001 Complete Patch v0.35 Released. This patch translates most of the Eastern Front scenarios up to the climactic Case Blue in the Summer of 1942. With a major victory, you leave the Eastern Front behind to invade America. Otherwise you begin a downward spiral leading to a bunker in Berlin.

AD2001 Complete Patch v0.30 Released. Most in-game warning and staff hint text is translated. Weapon names, General names, and dialog background text is translated. Menus are translated.

The first 27 scenarios in the German campaign are translated. This covers from the early Training scenarios in 1935 up to Operation Sealion in late 1940. Scenario briefing text, City and River names are translated. I was not able to find where Scenario names or Faction names were stored, so these remain untranslated.

Future patches should only consist of additional translated scenario files.

In 2002, Sega released a PC port of their SEGA Dreamcast Daisenryaku game. I took a pass on it at the time, because I had already bought the Dreamcast game and figured there would be nothing new offered in the PC version.

That was before I started my translation efforts. I now find that it makes a big difference being able to understand the scenario briefings. There is no way for me to modify the Dreamcast game, but I can work on the PC version. So, once again I start on a mammoth translation effort.

This game has the classic format of having a pool of units to manage, and advancing from one scenario to the next based on how well you did in the previous scenario.

Here are some sample screens from the game to look at:

I have no plans to release a patch anytime soon.

If you are interested in playing the game, you can purchase a copy from the following website. (I have no affiliation with them, other importers probably have it as well)
