I'll be around later tonight, I'm going to see if i can update the current version with the buildingless play to test it.  If I can i'll put out the 2C patch that was never done  and then go back to finishing the new factions for the Remake.

Confused of the doctrine layout.
Can you make a chart or something?

[salan2]

I will for the new version that I am working on, the version that is there now I will update once, soon just to remove the buildings and fix a few minor balance issues, but other then that, its all work on new stuff instead of work on the old stuff.

That's just so ironic lol.

Fun game, got some tweaking to do but a good time. A guide to doc trees/units would be soo helpful

[Hicks58]

Alright, my observations after playing a game or two of the Alpha FoF.

The accuracy buff given to all units?... It's extreme. ATG's can snipe infantry far too easily, and snipers rate of fire makes standard infantry all but redundant.

Infantry don't stand a chance against tanks either.

Actually, everything that I would say about infantry, would lead to me simply saying they are redundant while tanks or ATG's are in field. due to the accuracy allowing infantry to be sniped off, or half a squad at a time insta-gibbed.

Instant build times are also a bad idea. Even though it's for both sides, it results in 88's or 17's instantly locking down an area from nowhere, with a Flakvierling or Bofor's popping up right next to it.

Something I also brought up before, was Emplacement health... I'd say it needs to be halved atleast - Artillery fire did nothing to it, and concentrated tank fire took a long time to bring down one emplacement. This was a Flakvierling, and tbh, if it were an 88 or 17, then it would of been a total no-go zone.

Fun concept, just needs some balance adjustments for the next proper release ya do.

If this doesnt do any harm to eir installed or so i'll try aswell, answer plox

salan,
the gamemode like the way you call in units etc is really cool.

but... why did you change unit stats? and why soo many new units like cromwells that are not cromwells but chuch norris in a cardboard box.
german medium armour has become useless (panther the most) with the brits having so much tanks that are just better than axis tanks.

also things like flakvierling emplacements are just horrible. and why cant u build sandbags, tanktraps or mines?
and as PE you start with a schwimwagen and a kettenkrad, but as wehr you cant even build a bike!

all of this gimmicky lolstuff might seem cool at the begin, but it just ruins the balance and the game experience in the end. keep the new units limited like in EIR.

No harm comes of EiRR or vCoH.

And Leophone, Salan never aimed FoF to be like vCoH or EiRR.

Balance changes I can deal with... But they need work and full tuning, not fine tuning.

Grenades on squads at the moment is something to look at... You can run a squad at another squad, throw a grenade, nuke half theirs, and retreat.

Aha, played this mod and i do belive a great future for it, i kind of see no point in the buildings as they cannot be damaged *ofc* but still its pretty wierd to have on the field if its just to call-in units.

Pretty easy to rape when you get to their base, just circle the hq and kill whatever comes out of it & the call in place.

MG's where really good/badass, i liked it!

Well yeah, doctrine is really wierd i dont get it all yet, as said a overview would do good.. mmhh.. Sniper with spotter, really classy idea and i dont look it to be that much nessesarly, i have never read or seen a spotter in ww2?

The actuall sniper uses more time to uncloak which solves lameness already but keeps the useless feeling. imo.

Are you going for realism btw, if no it seems kind of mixed.

[Hicks58]

This is the very early alpha that he made about a year back.

The buildings were a necessity at the time.

They'll be gone when he makes a release soon as far as i'm aware.

All snipers worked in a team, often a spotter was a guard with smg, or a co-sniper. Allied and Axis snipers aren't as noted as Russian ones, and if you watch Enemy at the Gates, you will see how the main character always has backup.

I don't know the password to this account, so I use the salan2 one, which ironically has the same name as this one, when I'm at work, because I know that password

I never got to re-balancing the game.  I worked on it for september, and half of october.  I got the last faction in and promptly burnt out due to relationship woe's because of the time sink I put into it

I was going to go through and fine tune the stats of the units and weapons and costs.  Which never happened.  This version was a work in progress that everyone was able to test and give feedback on.   the next 'expanded' version will hopefully have all the changes I learned about with this version

also interestingly enough I found some italian infantry weapons for COH.. mmmm!

I know of a few units that i had noted down for stat changes and what not.  Infantry is cheap, you can mass use it through out the game, on the flip side, they die a lot easier.  BUT they are also deadly at removing what they need to when they need to do it unless they run into one of their direct counters, which ... happens
