Game mode descriptions and map packs

[Brynjir]

Just downloaded the mod and loving it so far but have a few questions.

1. Where can I find a description of the game modes? such as POW and tank wars etc.
2. Do map packs work ok? I tried using some maps with blitzkrieg mod but had nothing but problems with them.

There are no descriptions for game modes and I'll try to describe them as best I can, tell me anything you don't understand.

POW - Meaning Prisoners of War, it has a type of Moral system where troops surrender if they are meeting up with overwhelming enemy force or enough friendly units have died near them.

Basically your guys surrender if the battle isn't going in your favor, can't explain it better than that.

Tank Wars means no infantry as far as I know since I haven't tried it but I'm not really sure about that, might be something like the Tales of Valor operation with the tanks only one where you chose 1 out of 3 tanks for each faction.

ATC means some sort of other territory capping system, it's also in Battle of the Bulge as far as I remember but I'm not so sure about Blitzkrieg, anyways, you cap territory with your units in it instead of capping a sector/flag point or whatever you call it, there's nothing to cap so your units need to either stay in the territory to cap it fast or just move through it but it will cap much faster if there are units in it.

I really haven't played these in a long time so I might be mistaken, if you want a go at some Co-Op or something add me and we can fix something up.

I would like to bump this topic in order to maybe get a more satisfying answer. AFAIK:

Victory points and Annihilate: Like in the original game
Inf War: Only infantry and jeeps available
Tank Wars: Offmap Tanks only, terretory can be capped by tanks
Custom mission: The scripted mission for a map

What are "Assault" and "Quickstart"? Also, on what kind of map do Tankwars work? What kind of map can only be played as Custom Mission?

Quickstart gives you a 3 infantry squads, 1 MG and 1 Mortar squad right from the get go, then a light task force comes off map with a truck, a jeep/bren, a half-track full of infantry and a truck towing an AT gun. PE get Vehicles, lots and lots of vehicles and not really sure about Wehr.

Assault might be something like the Tales of Valor Operation where you have singular Hero units that you can take control of but I'm not so sure about that as I've never really tried it...

Tank wars is I'm guessing again something like the ToV operation.

And finally Custom Mission might be for the Co-Op ones (JOINTOPS) but they already ignore those setting, everything except for the Axis/Allies Army choice and resource one.

"Assault" is a combination of "infantry combat + ATC + victory points"

what about operation domination??

[Dartborne]

ATC, Surrender system and quick start

thank u dart :3 i also would like to know if annilation (no pop cap) isnt functional on afrika maps as both it dosnt register as having loads of pop and seems like my game crashes a few minutes in

[Dartborne]

Not yet

[ForestPerson]

A game type with heavy vehicles but not tanks would be fun, basically a game mode that excludes the tank depot. Any one have plans to make this?

Is this outdated or still good information?

Man, your mod is one of the best Company of Heroes mods, not to say the best, but some maps have very bad performance (but are pretty, amazing maps). Take your time, but you should try to tweak some maps. Other thing is: The game modes descriptions is really a hard to understand thing. Some of them have no descriptions. Why not to put some easy to understand game mode descriptions inside the game, in a easy way to find and understand? One more thing i'm noticing is that the normal dificulty of the game in some game modes looks like extreme hard - for professional koreans (lol). I play this game since 2008 against bots and even i'm not being a bad player the bots rape me in the first 20 minutes. They don't win the game. They just rape you, humiliate you, destroy your home, stole your wife and kids, and go back (lol).

Playing right now: [Africa] El-Agheila (2) Laggy as hell. Looks like have VERY HIGH desert textures even balancing the graphics. I set the dificulty to Easy, the AI got buggy, deploying just two ♥♥♥♥♥♥ groups of enemy engineers and one even more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lieutanant the entire game. I reached the enemy base without see an enemy at least...Its sad... This mod looks like a brand new remastered game, with awesome features, great historic adventures (missions/operations), but looks like was never tested before released.

Hi guys, is there a post which lists the availability of various commander trees, produceable units and call-in units by theatre (e.g. Normandy vs Africa vs Bulge etc.)?
