Bodybag Is Back And Doing Well

[BoDyBaG2224]

Hey guys, I'm back after a long over due break thingy. I've been hovering around the relicforums for a while and I've recently became an active player in a fun COH mod called Europe in Ruins. I plan on becoming more active in the clan and this site again, soooooooooooooooo who misses me?

[Idaeus]

I missed you! :D How is Europe in Ruins? Worth trying? I'll be getting my new gfx card soon so this summer will be awesome!

Very nice to have you back! :)

[Cherni]

wewt! :awes

[Vikaman]

Nice. I enjoy a few of the mods for COH. But I am still awaiting a massive complete conversion.

[BoDyBaG2224]

A massive complete conversion to what?

[Eagle101]

he means a Total Conversion mod for the game i.e. Forgotten Hope 2 for BF2 or (the mod i am currently and eagerly awaiting) the Modern Combat Mod for CoH:OF!!!!!!

Just give it time mate, as its still in production.

I play FH2 a bit, but Project Reality teamwork and tactics is what causes me to get fed up with FH2 zombies running around and gunning everything. If you haven't played Project Reality, play it, lots of new toys, teamwork, maps and REALISM!!!

when it was first released there were 2 full 64 player servers. now there is one only and its empty :(

if i want to go to a populated server, i must endure 400+ ping

i guess things will spark up again when the update is released. i will take advantage it when the time comes :)

Ehem. So company of heroes is a good game...

Hey body, have you been on the old 2v2at? and if so how far have you got? me and a friend are trying to get in the top 200~ were at about 430 place with axis and 500 with allies so far :p

[BoDyBaG2224]

Hey tasty. Me and my partner 1stReconDrNick were planning to dominate the 2v2 Allied side, but we got really cought up in EiR. We occasionally do a 2v2AT.

[Sir. Tasty]

Cool cool might end up playing you sometime then :p

PR Mod i know it! the thing is the uni i am in roght now, Newcastle University UK has banned all P2P, steam, Xfire, Online MP! for some krapy reason so i cant go online do u know if PR Mod can be found for SP?

Ok back on CoH, sry for deviation forgive meh. Um i wanted to know in EiR are there like constrictions i.e. Arty, P51 Bombing runs?

[BoDyBaG2224]

You can download PR sandbox, and perhaps a SP one aswell, but I'm unsure.

As for EiR there are no base buildings, however there are off-map items available. What you get depends on what doctrine you go and what tiers you get.

In EiR I'm infantry company, and you can unlock 4/4 Tier 1 abilities, 3/4 Tier 2 Abilities, 2/4 Tier 3s and 1/4 Tier 4s. You must have the previous tier unlocked to get to the next tier.

So one of my Tier 2s is off map arty, the T1 before that being an on-map howy.

[Eagle101]

No base buildings, how do you arrange for units?

[BoDyBaG2224]

You purchase them before the game and you assign them to platoons between 8-25 pop-cap. If you have pop available you call in the platoon and after a timer ticks down the men arrive at the designated spot. You give men upgrades before the battle and they arrive on the field like so. You then gain XP through games and eventually you get vet 1, 2, and 3. Vet 3 units become very deadly. If you hit retreat the squad is called off the field and if it survives you keep it and its vet. However if you lose a unit you must repurchase said loss.

[Eagle101]

Wow thnx for the info ;)

[Idaeus]

Wow... I hears EiR was hard to get in to. :D

Bodybag if you would feel like writing an "introduction to EiR" I would be more than happy to put up a news post about it. I've read some of your earlier guides/feedback in threads and reallylike your way of explaining things and you knowledge. You up for it? :D

[Eagle101]

I support on Idaeus on this, it sounds brilliant!

[Vikaman]

EiR is great. Too bad I live far away from nearly all the servers for this mod. :(

[BoDyBaG2224]

I'll see if I can do it when I have a bit more time.

[Idaeus]

:D well its completely up to you mate, do what you wish! ;)
