@ Heartmann..... You should have been banned for that first post.

lol why?!?

I think companies should be rewarded for bothering to save all that junk (BARs, MG42s, AT guns).

I can think of two good ways to do this.

1: Do Not pernamently attach the weapon to the squad that captured the weapon. Instead, make the weapon part of the "force pool" (where you get upgrades), and make it attachable to a squad free (or with a small munitions penalty to represent weapon maintenance). In the case of AT guns/other field guns, the capping system should not be free, but the weapon should be availiable to the squad at 75%-50% the cost.

2: As someone posted above, give 1/2 of the cost of the weapon to the player after the match (applies to AT guns/nebels, too). Or the moolah could be given directly to the general.

The philosophy behind the game was ridiculously different back then...I think Fldash's first concept of the game was for both sides to march in all their units at the start of the game, almost like tabletop WH40k or the Close Combat series. That's how the first concept release of EIR worked.

Concept behind the first warmap proposal was closer to a group of people playing Risk or a Close Combat campaign (BotB or Normandy, not Russian Front or BTF)...not inherently balanced matchups.

I can map to a degree although I still have to get good at perfectionising maps and making them look even better but you'll need multiple mappers anyway  .

I'm also good with R&D.

I'm curious Ricky,
whats your win % on the allies side
If it's lower than 50% than do everyone a favor and stop playing allies because YOU ARE LOSING THE WAR FOR US

Mine is 30% and you know why? because I mainly teach noobs how to play, and i´m so unlucky that 70% of the times we´re up against schultz, chefartz, littlesausage or a nice group of vets.. if nobody does that job, you can be sure we´ll loose sooner.

Teaching idiots the way of the muscle since day one.

Typical noob post

I had this idea earlier, and I know a lot of you won't like it, but yeah it's just a thought.

Anyway, I was thinking, to help introduce new players into the way EiR works, would it be possible to introduce AI "bots" for newer players to play against? There could be differently skilled bots for each doctrine, each with a ready built company, that new players can test themselves against, both so that they understand the games mechanics, and also so that they can learn the maps a bit better, and come up with some decent strategies they can try.

And, to stop grinding,Once these players have leveled up to say, level 3 or 4 via playing against the bots, they could no longer gain xp, or pp from playing them, so that they have enough knowledge, and unlocks to get them started on the multiplayer aspect.

It would also help the teamplay aspect as certain teams could work out better strategies and find out what works against what.

I know that, people will say "Oh well that defeats the whole point of EiR; it's multiplayer, go back to CoH if you want a skirmish.", but as I said it's only mainly intended so people can get to grips with it.

Just a thought.

I was way ahead of my time you see

So all my units doubled themselves to my surprise... uhh, what happened? lol. Only in one company though.

[Ahnungsloser]

lol - My first post is so long. 

Hey Guys,

yesterday i watched the presentation of Europe in Ruins on the KrebsCOHO channel on Youtube to try out a new game. In further times
i have played COH and so i tried my luck with the US armour company.

The Armour doctrin have one engineer called assualt engineer which comes with shotguns on the battlefield. The guys looks tough/cool but in
several infantry engagements they got only there asses kicked, so it seems that there quite useless.
There come with four man per squad, and does 1+4 damage vs. infantry, they can build tanktraps/sandsacks or lay down some wire.
But they can't put down a mine or a democharge or can't be equipped with flamethrowers.

My questions are:
- Are these guys useful?
- Where can i find the weapon statistic table of the shotguns?


Sorry for my bad english.
