People will help you, or reply to this faster, if you say you are a girl.

Look at the posting times, how fast they reacted :O

Read some of their posts, not all of them though, they may contain sexual content, showing desperate need of girlfriends etc...


Nevertheless, Hello you!

Could you be a bit more precise?  It seems to work fine for me.

Although a little out of date, this should get you to the company set up screen: http://www.moddb.com/mods/europe-in-ruins/videos/europe-in-ruins-full-tutorial#imagebox

Once you get to the company setup screen it's a lot nicer than in this video, and should be easy to set up your army from there.

i got it, i setup as a allied unit but didnt make any companys yet, trying to figure out what to do, reading around.. 

do we have a big map? shows were the lines are? 

does my unit stay in one area of map, or could i spawn from one area in one battle to another area?

also notice, it seems to be americans only as allies?

As in a war map? That was planned, but our previous developer never finished it.

And, what do you mean? You join battles via the EiR launcher, start up EiR, join the game room, and we all have fixed spawns on the maps, just like CoH. Unless you have airborne, then they can drop anywhere.

Yeah, OF hasnt been integrated yet, another thing our new developer is trying to do.

Ok, well, there seem to be some things you didn't get right.
For example, there is no big map (as of yet) and people are just fighting in any battle they find. You make your company(or 3, but i would recommend to start with 1 company) and then look out for an open match in the EiR launcher.
Get Ventrilo aswell.
Then you fight, by calling in your squads that form your company. If you retreat units, they will run off the map, but survive the battle.
So after a battle you have all the units which either survived the battle (e.g. you won it) or all the units which retreated/ which you didn't call into battle, giving them experience and upgrading them for the next fight.
You then have to resupply your company.

At the moment, there is only Allies vs Axis possible, but as you may have seen on the frontpage, there's an update coming, bringing British and Panzerelite troops.

what are the win conditions for the war then?  since there is no map and places we are capturing?  sorry for all the questions, but there is alot of read.. figured i would ask for fast questions to spark my interest,

also, is there like a beginners area? i went online against some dude last night, he was hosting on a small map and literly beat me in 12 min... ! i was k.. i doing something wrong lol.

[MasonDonn]

Win conditions are reduce the other teams Territories to 0. You can see the territory count in the upper left hand corner on the homepage.

No beginners area, sorry. We have a  steep learning curve, but if you play against the "pros", and they lend you some tips, you will become better in no time.

Play against me, Ill stack you out of the community in no time.

(This is a subconscious warning)

[NAQOYQATSI]

there exist mentors in the community, I suggest you ask for one
these are members which can help you with your beginners questions

Also check out the ventrilo server; sometimes people are willing to help you along, explain some things or even willing to be your 1v1 sparring partner

regards

[Prydain]

Yea, make sure you ask people, however, battle channels are off limits to anyone not playing in those respective channels. The lobby is a good place to start.

Get on ventrillo is the easiest way to go. Also playing 1v1s dose not affect your company so can be a good way to get the hang of the game (but you'll want to move to team games very quickly).
