please add for noobs like me a "how to install and start the game" section on the wikipage

ahh.. ok


also this install should work for all languages, hopefully some with dif languages can test and report.

[salan]

also alpha2 has reworked wehrmacht infantry pricing, some support pricing, full british support (the brens are kinda wonky and will be the first thing i work on) and added map support.

[salan]

Is the AI working?

Fight against the germans, attack them once, and they will come out of the woodworks and kick yer butt.

they mainly use base units, but they can put up a good fight with those.

[salan]

We had quite a few GOOD and right to the wire games the other day, 2v2s and 3v3s ... everyone who played said they were impressed and enjoyed the hectic fun!

been teaching myself how to make icons recently, the art work takes a bit of time for someone who has never done it before, hence the quiteness.

things that will be in the next update that are NOT art related:

Heavy tanks will have heavy cover in a small directional radius around them
Medium tanks will have light cover in a small directional radius around them
fixed icons of the jagdtiger and jagdpanzer as well as name of the jagdtiger.
making a pass on all abilities, there aren't many.
looking at health of emplacements and gliders.

looking further into more factions and their implimentation, volksturm and polish planning has started with input from various community members.

a test icon ...

Looks good Salan

i've played a number of fun games so far including this 2v2 on rails

http://www.filefront.com/14645197/4p_rails%20and%20metal.2009-10-02.21-19-07.rec

this was me and hicks vs salan and bobby.

watch how hard the pershing + supporting brit tanks hit and then see how quickly it all dies lol

no battlefield needed btw

[Akranadas]

Salan, Post a thread in Relicnews already; they'll love it.

[Mgallun74]

AI still needs some work.. i played a PE Expert and totally owned it.. took 2 of the objectives and held them with 1 Rifle, 1 hmg and 1 57mm at each site... the CPU kept trying to spawn little kets to retake the objectives lol.. i ended up sitting at their spawn with 2 m22s and a m24 and killed about 20 kets lol.

[salan]

usually with the AI yo have to attack it then back off.  I haven't worked on it yet, but it is on the things to do.

I will post it on relic news once i iron out the last tiny bit of 'tweaky' bugs I have listed.

[BeRzErKeR]

I'm being a total noob here but, how do I install this? 

[salan]

to install it, simply unzip it into your company of heroes directory.  If you installed to the default directory of the cd install, then there is a link there that will work, if you have steam or changed the install directory you will have to change the link to point towards the correct .exe.

I have also heard it doesn't work yet on non english, not so sure if i fixed that or not.

[Nijo]

somebody up for a game this evening?

[wildsolus]

always, message me on vent to play

[salan]

I have a new version almost ready, just a few more fixes to go in, but I won't be around to finish it tonight, or play.  I work from 3pm to 7am (16hours of pure joy) ..

so when you guys play take note and leave a message if there are things you find that need fixing.

so far on my list are:

emplacement health
glider health
6pndr not being recrewable
team weapons dropping the last man off and not killing him
some team weapons being abandonable some not.
wehr mechanized pricing
over all pricing (wehr emplacements being over priced)
waspe flame not showing up (sadly this might not be fixable till I figure out the model mixing)

these are all on my fixed list so far

also adding in medium tanks adding light cover in a small radius around them, heavy tanks adding heavy cover in a small radius around them.  Trying to make vehicles shot blockers again ala OLD school vcoh.   and a few other fun things. 

[bbsmith]

Ooooh Sally took my idea eh?

[wildsolus]

just played a 2v2 with leophone, nijo and mgallun and i've gotta agree with mgallun...

i used storms that game and i know 'mirroring' sucks but i'd say remove cloak from the storms or increase the prices by like 10-20 on each squad.

double shrek storms aren't too expensive for the damage they can do.

[salan]

ya i was wondering about that myself wild.  I think the wehr have too many options for double anti tank, need to replace one with something creative... any suggestions

which idea was that bob?

[wildsolus]

give them something similar to fireup? or maybe a 5 or 10 second blitzkrieg use

[lionel23]

Sheesh do they really need fireup when allied suppression sucks except for BARs?  And what's that one ability that allows grens to outrun chasing tanks?  Is that blitz?

[wildsolus]

have you played this lionel? hmgs shred infantry.
