Hey there!

I've just started getting into mods, so far I have tried the EF mod and found it interesting to say the least.
Now I have been told by many that EIR is a mod that you must try, so here I am.

Also, I downloaded EIRR is this the main mod?

Would anyone be happy to have a game with me and take me through some of the basics? I have a mic.

[AmPM]

I suggest you read through the tutorials. How to build your company, etc.

Once done, just jump on and see if anyone is around. Ventrilo seems to be down right now so might be harder to find a game.

[Sebster10]

I'm currently doing so.

[MittinsKittens]

Yeah, I suggest the Tutorials to be honest. Should give you a nice starting point.
Also, I'm going to say this, Don't expect to win your first couple games, Its a hard mod to learn, but once you get over the learning curve, its also one of the most fun mods
If you want an idea on how the game plays, Have a look at the active broadcasts on the right
right now, Leo is showing a game here:->http://www.xfire.com/live_video/joothizzleo/
That give you an idea what to expect :3

[Sebster10]

Yes, ive been watching some Shoutcasts and have an idea of how the game goes.

And I don't expect to win any games at all for a while  The competition looks harsh.

[MittinsKittens]

Trust me, you will be fine if you stick at it, Just warning you so you don't think the mod is a pile of crap because you didn't win your first game
Also, Smokaz is doing a broadcast of a game (which I shall be in)

Best way to see without jumping in and getting roll'd x3
Although, Don't expect your company to be like Smokaz's, Since hes got a couple doc stuff, and he's a really good player x3
Hasn't started yet so give it a chance, should be ready to roll soon ^^

[Groundfire]

Welcome!

If you havent seen them yet, shoutcasts are either in my sig, or on the front page, just gotta cycle though the pages.

And video tutorials are on the "News" page of the launcher. Takes about 15 minutes to watch them, but if you do, you'll be ahead of most players that start from scratch in this mod.

When vent gets back up, look for me in the help channel if you need some help.

[Demon767]

We had a list of vets that you can either try to get on their team or avoid, but i cant find it. either way you will find them out soon enough. we are Insanely awesome but as the old saying goes, you cant learn by winning. lose a game, ask for some help. modify, adapt and try again. quickest way. Dont forget Vent, itll give you an idea on what to expect, and dont get angry at veterans if they start yelling at you when you do something wrong yea. just take it as very harsh constructive critism. all i have to say

welcome

I've watched quite a few of your shoutcasts, they are actually what got to me join this mod in the first place.
Yea, ive watched all the tut videos and read the tutorial pages on this forum.

I've attempted to join up on the vent but its down atm.

I've actually been doing better than I expected.

[Killer344]

yeah, most of the elites are temporarly unavailable to give a warm welcome to the new guys. (either on vacation or sodomizing themself with starcraft 2, like me lmao)

[MittinsKittens]

Yeah, its really noob friendly at the moment due to the summer holidays ;3
Wait until they get back and you will be in a world of hurt. Still its fun
Glad to hear your first couple of games went alright. The first one is the hardest,specially since its really hard to make a good company, you learn to pick up what you need!
But yeah, welcome to the mod, glad you're having fun with it ^^
Hope you come to stay and join our ranks of awesomeness ^^

[CrazyWR]

heh, I remember my first game...all maxed out pop callins on abbeville...good thing I had puddin and donnie to protect me.

[Demon767]

haha crazy. i only had my core and that was my whole company. i was defeated in the first 2 minutes and everyone was like "wtf?"

[MittinsKittens]

haha crazy. i only had my core and that was my whole company. i was defeated in the first 2 minutes and everyone was like "wtf?"

I just lol'd.
I think my first expirence was I completely messed up the RO name for the account and just GTFO'd. Came back a day or two later and sat down and tried to do it properly. and it Worked

[brn4meplz]

I read everything I possibly could before I did my first match. Nothing went wrong except for the part where I got stomped. Games won used to mean so much more and I never tried to dodge a stack. I think I'm better for it

[Nijo]

yeah to remeber the first games.... its always a pain in the butt

[EliteGren]

You talking about pain? I had to attack Schultz and Draken on RTC the first game I played.

[Masacree]

I don't remember my first game, but I remember not having the map pack, so everyone had to play on hill 331 .

I also remember that I got stomped like 10 or 15 games in a row before I finally won one. And I remember my first victory.

It was a 2v2 on Crossroads and it was me and some guy from a clan like Berlin something and anyways he had 2x stukas and just RAPED everything. It was awesome.

[Demon767]

The vet will remember my first run at EIRR... How i was known to run away from Smoke cuz i didnt want to lose my Vet. I had like 12 Vet3 FSJ's with the huge buffs if once gave back in the day.

my record was 20/160... Than istarted to play WM, and stop caring for vet.. and i started to win alot

[MittinsKittens]

I've never cared for vet and I'm actually win quite a few games that I'm even surpising myself. Just started a SE company and I've only got 3 games with it (and a "draw") and I've won all 3 of them. I'm happy with that, I'm not even shying away (playing Rank 9 companys) ect. Can't see my sheet being clean for much longer
