COH: Europe In Ruins MMORTT Mod (03.03.08) [v0.3.4 OF]

[fldash]

Important Note: The Europe In Ruins modification does not harm your original Company of Heroes or Opposing Fronts installation. You may still play your original copy even with this modification installed. Europe In Ruins is a multiplayer only modification.

Europe in Ruins adds persistence to the army you control as you fight battles that decide an overall outcome. Veteran units that stay alive stay with your forces can be summoned in future battles. This places even more value on your units and strategies through discouraging hopelessly desperate rushes. While still early in development, Europe in Ruins now supports the expansion pack for Company of Heroes, Opposing Forces, and plans to include war-maps to track the progress of your side's campaign. For RTS nuts looking to add life to an already amazing game, Europe in Ruins should be a top choice.

FAQ

What is Europe In Ruins? Europe In Ruins is a persistent war modification for Company of Heroes. Think World War 2 Online with a COH as the front-end used to play out the battles.

How is Europe In Ruins played? Europe In Ruins is played on Relic Online with other players. There is no single-player version.

Can you give me a little more details on how it works? It's simple! Register on our site, then sign-up in the war control panel. Select your doctrine abilities, and build/purchase your companies. Find someone and battle it out! Be sure to retreat heavily injured troops and vehicles off the battlefield so you can keep them in your company for the next fight along with the experience they earned. After the battle, the website is automatically updated with the battle results, dead squads are removed from your company, retreated and surviving squads are updated with the amount of experience they earned in the battle! You can then reinforce your company and play again!

Will installing Europe In Ruins affect my Company of Heroes installation? Absolutely not! Europe In Ruins installs parallel to Company of Heroes and allows you to play both regular Company of Heroes and Europe In Ruins without any trouble.

Where can I get help with Europe In Ruins? We have both a website and game tutorial videos as well as a written guide. Written Guide Tutorial Videos

Thanks for your support.

Nice!
I was beginning to wonder where SoC's competition had gone...

[fldash]

heh, don't really think I'm in competition with anyone to be honest. Europe In Ruins is multiplayer only which leaves out a lot of people. In addition, there aren't many core changes from COH/OF, we've just applied a persistency model.

[Sgt. D. Pilla]

Well your the biggest mod for Opposing Fronts popularity wise, and I know mine is in second place being its the only other large mod...So I say your competition
lol, anyways, I should try EIR again sometime, last time I tried the installer didn't even run :|

[$_TEXAS_$]

You both have great mods, each providing a big change in gameplay. one for MP and one for SP. I'm glad I play both now .
