We're now position 5 in the RTS mod contest!

Spot 4 only has a few more points and 3 has around 99 score.
We should be able to hit at least the top 3 if 1.7 released a few days prior to the contest ending Imho .

Download isn't working.

EVERY BODY: VIEW, VOTE AND DOWNLOAD!!

[acker]

done. I think. really dont use those types of sites that often...

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

nor do i but still, EIR need exposure

[naradaman]

We're number 4. I looked at the rules for the first time and it seems all we need is to be in the top 10 RTS to get into the next round, which is judged rather than voted. I think we could be in with a chance of some prize here.

We're 4th Now, Viva, viva, viva la europe in ruins.

[fldash]

We maintained 4th thru the end of user voting.  We made it into the final stages where we will be judged.  Please be aware of this and be on your best behavior. 

Judging results will be published on July 27th.  I think we have a decent shot of coming in the top 3 places, but it'll depend on if the judges actually put some effort into playing this as opposed to just downloading it and trying to play it vs Skirmish (ACK!)

[Unkn0wn]

Well it is supposed to be a multiplayer mod competition but yes, they'll kinda need teamspeak .

[naradaman]

Yeah, I'm worried about the accessibility of the mod. I don't know how much time they have for testing.

I had a look at the panel of judges, there's designers and programmers on there. I think EiR will appeal a lot to those types.

Is there nay kind of way to get into a battle faster?  I'm having incredible amounts of trouble getting a battle set up just to try out.  I've managed the login hurdles, bought a few units just to have them, but can't seem to get a platoon of any kind. 

[Raddish]

have you read through the guide that has been made?

http://forums.europeinruins.com/index.php/topic,420.0.html

it should help you get set up and ready to play.

[Unkn0wn]

Might I ask, What exactly is the issue you're having with platoons?

If you go to "platoon management", you should see some unit icons in there. Then simply click on "core" (for example) and drag them into one of the little blue boxes.

The pop cap needs to be between 8 - 40 for the box to turn green.
So for instance, 2 riflemen squads, 2 grenadier squads, etc.


In addition, if you want a quick 1vs1 for instance I would advise you to get teamspeak (even if you do not have a microphone) as there's currently a lot of players on there right now who will be able to hook you up with a game .


If you prefer not to use teamspeak you could set up a game through the forums (public scheduling) or through xfire.


Hope that helps you somewhat!
Btw, welcome aboard!

[GF_Nate]

OK i see where platoon management is now.  Looks like TeamSpeak will be the way to go.  Thanks!

[Unkn0wn]

No problem .

[Phil]

I DON'T THINK WERE MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION GUYS

But do not worry! I shall work with doubled efforts to put extra bugs into the next Launcher release!

[fldash]

lol   He sent me a pm saying he was having lots of problems but worked thru them.  He will be helping the judges work thru the system.  He's not an actual judge.

[Phil]

o snap. Well off to bed then. False alarm.

As you are aware, GameFlood is scheduled to announce the winners of the $25,000 Map and Mod Contest on July 27th, 2007. Due to the depth and high quality of submissions, judging is taking longer than expected and regrettably, we have to delay the contest results until August 3rd, 2007. This delay is to ensure the fairest judging possible for all parties. If you have any questions regarding the delay, please drop us a line at contact@gameflood.com. Thank you for your patience and we extend our sincerest apologies to all the developers involved.

Yours sincerely,

The GameFlood Team
