Worth checking out?

Postby Arctictiger » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:34 pm

I dont know if you guys have ever heard of europe in ruins?(europeinruins.com)

Europe in Ruins takes the fast paced, intense and surreal combat that you've come to know from Company of Heroes and combines it with persistent environment, ever changing meta-gameplay and ongoing war. The modification sees you creating and commanding your very own battalion in which you can customise with any units and upgrades you wish; Company of Heroes strategy has never had so much choice. Not only do you get to build up your battalion, but as you units battle, they will gain and retain all the experience they have earned, carrying over from battle to battle; going from green to elite! Not only do units gain veterancy, but your battalion as a whole increases in effectiveness through doctrine unlocks and other advantages. Each of these are designed so that the player can tailor their battalion to their own likes and play styles. The combinations choices are endless!

Europe in Ruins: Reinforcements adds to the already ground breaking game play of Europe in Ruins by adding in the British Commonwealth, the Panzer Elite, new game mode, a bunch of new maps, the new Advantages system and a whole new back-end launcher with new innovative systems for army purchase and persistence. What is in this latest release:

Play all four Company of Heroes armies (British, Panzer Elite, American, Wehrmacht)
A new game mode: Reinforcements. Which sees players coming in at different stages of the battlefield.
The ability to choose Allied/Axis attack
34 maps specifically designed for Europe in Ruins as well as the ability to play all of your old Company of Heroes favourites!
A brand new launcher
Complete persistency, All units retain vet, and continue to use it in their next battles.
A complete installer that contains the Europe in Ruins files, launcher, and maps
Basic unit unlock doctrines
A new soft capping availability system
New Advantages System!

Seems like a COHO type thing to me? Could be fun to check out and improve our game!

After further investigation i have learned that this is from i understand a public made version of COHO. Which maybe why CoHO was shut down because it couldnt compete with the completely free version of itself.

Here's a very in-depth, 1-hour video outlining exactly how EIR works. It's complete with commentary from one of the developers themselves. Take a look.

As usual, best enjoyed in full-screen HD.
