Here are some ways that you can help promote Europe In Ruins...
A) Tell all your friends! You are a living, breathing testimony to the game itself. They trust your opinion (at least some of the time I hope). Make sure you make it clear that it doesn't affect their COH/OF installation and they can still play regularly. I think many people are afraid of this!
B) Get involved! Make maps! Write up war blurbs based on the replays you've watch. Do a Videocast (Shoutcast!). Post your high quality screenshots or testimonies on ModDB or other places (listed later). Help new players get started, write a tutorial, a strategy guide, etc...
C) Click on the popularity link once a day. "
