Talk about it here

Hey guys,

The mod is back up and running, just run the updater - and you should be set.

Just a few things (bugs...)

-  Some maps will crash the game.  A seperate post will be made to keep track of them.
The updated list is here:
Updated Map List

Just a quick update, the new 2.400 patch has broken compatibility with Europe In Ruins: Reinforcements.

Hopefully, later this week, the patch for TOV will remove the restrictions imposed.

Thanks for your patience.

As many of you know, last year we were one of 7 modifications to win the Moddb.com 2007 Editor's Choice Award.  Well 2008 has arrived, and Europe In Ruins was nominated for a Moddb.com Editor's Choice Award in the category of Most Innovative Multiplayer.  While we didn't win the award this year, it was great to get a nomination and we'd just like to thank our community for their support during the long haul of getting EIR: Reinforcements out. 

For those interesting, a terrific mod called Celestial Impact won the award, for good reason.  You can read the full story on Moddb.com by clicking here.

Europe In Ruins is proud to announce the release of its expansion:

EiR combines the fast paced strategy of vCoH with a persistant and ongoing war. The game is intense and action packed.

EIR:Reinforcements adds to the initial game we all love by adding in the British, the Panzer Elite, a new game mode, and a whole new back-end launcher with new innovative systems for army purchase and persistence.  What is in this release:

- Play all four armies (British, PE, American, Wehrmacht)!
- Glider drops and Fallschrimjager paradrops!
- A new game mode!
- The ability to choose Allied/Axis attack!
- 29 maps specifically designed for EIR:R, as well as the ability to play all of your old vCoH favorites!
- A brand new launcher!
- Complete persistency!  All units retain vet, and continue to use it in their next battles!
- A complete installer that contains the EIR:R files, launcher, and maps!
- Basic unit unlock doctrines!
- A new soft capping availability system!
- The gameplay experience that you've come to know and love from Europe In Ruins!

The EIR:R field book will cover all of the games new systems, units, and tweaks in detail.  Want to see how availability will work?  Want a walk through of the new EIR:R advantages to help balance out the newest players and the oldest veterans?  Would you like to see the future plans of EIR:R?  Look no further!

EIR:R Field Book

One thing that has always been a challenge is the complexity of getting a game.  But with the new EIR:R launcher, that complexity should be a thing of the past.  Check out these screenshots, showing off the sign-in page, company builder, and the battle room.

What will happen now:

If you are an old-timer, your precious armies from this last, long war will be removed.  The War Control Panel will cease to exist.  It will be replaced by a link to register and download the new launcher.
