it was less about who had the best units and more of how you used every unit. even he basic rifleman back then was useful. now its eather you play staticly or you die trying to an attack just becouse the enemy has better units than you do, even if you can stratigicly flank them or lurethem into a trap. the current eir is so unit based that stratigy is severly suffering. units them selvs are so durible and hardy that even when you exploit a mistake you just can do damadge fast enof to do anything signifigant. i think eir should move away from unit to unit action and back twords stratigic deadly battles. i guess i am just fanisying on them old days but you got to admit that they did have a certain luster.

I personally played this mod some time ago like any free minute, but at the moment I see the whole doctrine system with it`s buffs combined with spamming the buffed units en masse as the hugest problem of this mod. I think it`s a fundamental structural problem with the pricing and availability system, outcome is that there are companies around that are pure bullshit, but work, because spamming the most effective and cost efficient units just works and favoured by the system without penality. The real beauty of tactics and usage of combined arms is gone, maybe never there.
Just my 2 cents. Now I`m playing just a handful of games per week.

I would play a lot more but I have school and life to worry about. To my dismay, EiR has to take second priority to school.

i basicly just stoped playing, things are just to weird atm with over all gameplay not no mention school. it may just be me but i miss the days where EiR was not revovled around units themselvs but the overall gameplay and battlefeild experance. i guess i am just to outof touch with EiR atm.
I feel almost exactly the same way. Except that if I have time to play I'm not playing allies since its not fun anymore, got bored of them. |

I have to say I agree with most. I still enjoy playing but the mod has definatly changed a lot from the old EIR. With tons more unit abilities and extremely powerfull doctrines it really does some times feel like I am playing Warcraft 3 and not Company of Heroes.

its more or less the doct buffs.. anytime a single gren with feroicty\zeal whatever it is can knock down a full strenght vet3 rangers there is a inbalance issue, especially since the rangers have smgs and concusion nades, even dropped a nade on the dude, he stood there like, uh huh, bring it..
just 1 glaring example.

The end has been declared forever, and its always in 3 months.. from whatever time who ever posts it.
2.0 was declared for just as long.

EIR has died several times, and its always managed to revive itself.
I think stacking and game dodging has become such a common place thing its made getting games difficult and people less willing (especially new players) to come on and play.
I mean, its not very often i see the best players in the mod face off against each other, especially with so many 16-2, 6-0, 50-7 type scores.
Clearly something has gone wrong with the player base.

I dont believe the end is coming, but we are definatly in a EIR "recession" right now. Hopefully the new doctrines will be a huge improvement over what we have now and will revive the game once again. Although I still believe the unit abilities are stupid and make the game feel like Warcraft III.

The eir playerbase has always fluctuated, nothing special.

No one wants to play Axis attack or Allies Attack anymore, only M/E and Reinforcements which are filled with Gimmicky callin such like 2 P4s. 3 Staghounds of any type and so on and so on...
And the warmap really isn't changing a lot.. and Canadian Tommies can't get their upgrades yet...etc

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

I have no problems with game balance.
But the Warmap is a bit...fail.
Could we have the old Sectors system? And generated Att/Def.

Maybe the should just get rid of the option entirely.
You ready up and find out when you get in.
100% pure random.
