==Essential improvements==

===AI Logic Fixes===
 +
{{ii}} The base game and expansions contain a couple of AI bugs. The AI can see and shoot through buildings, and there is a bug where guns 'dig out' when manually ordered to turn.<ref name="AI Logic">[https://www.gog.com/forum/blitzkrieg_series/fixes_for_blitzkrieg_1_recommended_mods_and_tips_for_new_players Fixes for Blitzkrieg 1, Recommended Mods and Tips for new players]</ref>
 +
{{ii}} These can be resolved by replacing the AI logic DLL with the equivalent DLL from the spinoff game [[Stalingrad]], which fixed these issues.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Replace DLL in the game directory|fix=
 +
# Download the fix from [https://www.moddb.com/mods/achtung-panzer/addons/new-blitzkrieg-ailogicdll ModDB].
 +
# Make a backup of the original {{file|ailogic.dll}} in case you encounter issues.
 +
# Copy {{file|ailogic.dll}} to {{file|{{p|game}}\Run|folder}} ({{file|{{p|game}}|folder}} for the GOG version).
 +
# Overwrite the original file when prompted.
 +
}}
 +
 
 +
===Winter Buildings mod===
 +
{{ii}} Adds winter models to certain buildings which originally lacked them.<ref name="AI Logic">[https://www.gog.com/forum/blitzkrieg_series/fixes_for_blitzkrieg_1_recommended_mods_and_tips_for_new_players Fixes for Blitzkrieg 1, Recommended Mods and Tips for new players]</ref>

Essential improvements

AI Logic Fixes

The base game and expansions contain a couple of AI bugs. The AI can see and shoot through buildings, and there is a bug where guns 'dig out' when manually ordered to turn.[2]
These can be resolved by replacing the AI logic DLL with the equivalent DLL from the spinoff game Stalingrad, which fixed these issues.
Replace DLL in the game directory
  1. Download the fix from ModDB.
  2. Make a backup of the original ailogic.dll in case you encounter issues.
  3. Copy ailogic.dll to <path-to-game>\Run (<path-to-game> for the GOG version).
  4. Overwrite the original file when prompted.

Winter Buildings mod

Adds winter models to certain buildings which originally lacked them.[2]
Installing the mod
  1. Download the mod from ModDB.
  2. Copy winter-buildings.pak to <path-to-game>\Run\Data (<path-to-game>\Data for the GOG version).
