@Lisowczyk: You need to set as Fixed Starting Positions.

it makes me play as the soviets?

@Waiz: Haha! Love the description of your gameplay. Glad you liked it! :)

I got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by sovjets and got a king tiger in return to get even more pounded. Appreciated love the map

alright

@Fiefiurka_096: Unfortunately no, this mission needs all empty slots to be filled with either human players or AI players. If you do not want to play with AI you will need some human players to fill their slots.

Any way to get rid of the Expert AI on my team?

@Slend: Yes. It's planned but development is taking some time due to work on the next Iron Hearts campaign chapter. When that is done my next project will involve base building co-op.

Forgot to delete the comment, it strangely only showed up after a reinstall of the workshop mod.

Will there be any new variant of these missions where players have their own base like in typical matches or missions?

@Slend: It should be in the Custom Maps list under 4v4 maps.

It doesn't show up.

@Hang: Hi! It is true it is very hard! This is intended as I thought for a co-op mission it needs a certain amount of high difficulty to make it challenging for players so people have a chance to replay and figure out how to complete the missions. If it was too easy I thought it would be pretty boring.

Could I suggest the Normandy Defensive co-op mission if you found this one difficult, that particular mission should be the easiest of the missions. Otherwise you could perhaps take a look at the video in the Workshop. It shows how you can win in the mission.

Thanks for your feedback! :)

bad cause its too hard

@Chris P. Bacon: You can find this map using the same way you would select a map for multiplayer lobby. Also ensure you have the 4v4 maps enabled as that is the category this map falls under.

Let me know if you still can't find it.

Looks really interesting, however I can't see the maps when starting a custom game?

@milkman gamer: The faction settings should be locked and the game should do it for you. They may be wrong if this is your first time playing this mission. If it's wrong, then just reset the map by selecting another map then back to this one in the map selection menu.

Other settings are written in the description: MUST play with 3 human or AI players with NO empty slots. MUST play with Fixed Starting Positions and No Mods.

Hope this helps clarify.

How am I supposed to set this up? which armies in what slots?

@Weebazor: You are using Random Locations. You MUST use Fixed Locations for the settings of this mission.

Quick question why whenever i start the mission why do i have control of the soviet troops and not the wehrmacht ones?
ples answer

Alright. Thank you.

@irontrident00: Nope. They are just other missions which form part of the same set of co-op missions. I just put them there for easy finding.

Are the other "required" items necessary?

@Col. Krusnov @Carliber: You have no idea how great it is to hear that! Thank you so much for your compliments! I just released a Soviet co-op mission too!

Very happy to know you enjoyed playing and liked the scenario! Please do let me know your thoughts on the new Soviet mission.:)

I just finished this map with my friends (Col. Krusnov & Saturn). This scenario is epic and awesome, plus the end is emotional because of hard fought battle. Thanks you for designing this scenario. XD

It's quite hard, but ending is legendary. Thanks for the great scenario, mate. :)

@[CN]Eli_Snake: Glad you liked playing it! :)

Thanks Darktrooper119!Now i know which story of this mission tell me.
Also, I love the song ‘Herats of Iron'.Yep, 'Sabaton' wrote it.
...
Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed
Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
...
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy this Co-op Mission with my friends!
Sorry for bad english XD

@Dude Its a little bit easier to play, because units a more diverse and have more abilities. But all in all its still really hard.

@Dude: I've no idea. Would imagine it should be easier as it gives players more options.

How is it different with the All Units mod? Easier? Harder? Please share. Thanks.

@Opulent Omega Thank you very much! Now the Mission works for me.

@John Colman: Hey! I don't usually do this, but since you've taken the time to think through what may causing this issue and write it all I took an exception and looked into this.

I adjusted the coding so the scenario now starts with the All Units mod. As you can imagine the gameplay may not play out as expected but I would imagine no significant issues will occur and you should be able to finish the mission.

I hope you will enjoy playing this mission with the All Units mod now :)

@Opulent Omega I usually play with All Units Mod, because the Vanilla Game has way too less possibilities to play with. I played the last map before this with the mod and had alot of fun with it.
Sadly though, when i play this map with the mod, mission itself doesnt starts and it only spams enemy units on me and goes into an endless fight against the AI. Can you please fix this issue?
In the beginning one of the halftracks stops on the way and releases its units only several minutes later and the plot doesnt starts. I believe this could be the problem.

@Joseph Stylin' @Politician-Z: Thank you! Hope you had fun! :)

Oh man this scenario is great, I finished it on my 5th try. The 1st try I got to the part where we had to destroy the artillery to the East, as soon as we did, we lost the majority of our forces and then all of the sudden... SOVIET ARMOR RUSH CYKA BLYAT!!! XD I love this scenario man it was fun keep it up

A bit too spammy with the soviets but great scenario

@couple people debating the validity of the Wermacht evac'ing civilians
It did happen, and (whether the mod author knew it or not), the stand in Berlin here is actually one of the better known cases of it. Wermacht General Walther Wenck, commander of the twelfth army, took his forces and the remains of the ninth army after a failed counterattack on the encroaching russians, and instead of launching a suicidal final attack opened an evacuation corridor to Allies controlled territory across the Elbe river, right to US general William Simpson. His words "Comrades, you've got to go in once more. It's not about Berlin anymore, It's not about the Reich anymore." laying his decision to disobey the Führer and save the lives of his men and noncombatants. Wenck was last across the river, and his and Simpson's actions are credited as saving estimated ten to hundreds of thousands of lives both military and Civilian.
Swedish Powermetal band 'Sabaton' wrote a song about it called 'Hearts of Iron'

@Dude: I am hoping to work on a system which will allow you to pick the difficulty. Due to the game's limitations I can't seem to allow players to choose the difficulty without messing up the factions.

Although your allies are showing as Easy. I've actually made them Expert using code.

@Lord Captain: Yes, it is very hard to do without human teammates. It was designed to be played with other people though, hence the co-op category.

Hopefully I can work out something which allows it to be easier.

It would be nice if we had more control over the difficulty, both the enemy ai as well as any on our side.

Has anybody doen a youtube on this one yet?

Also, the imped character should have been named Herr Duffy instead.

this is bloody impossible to solo with AI teammates

@mario_more2000: Haha good job! Hope you enjoyed playing! :)

ya i had my jadetiger still up while we lost the tiger 2 and tiger ace and we where holding the top middle where i see a ton of tanks on the VP point soo hhad we couldnt fight more xD

@mario_more2000: your happiness is contagious haha! I'm very happy for you as well! :)

Hope you liked the ending haha!

finalyyyyyyyyyyyyyy finalyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we did it wooooooooooooooooooooooooo we won too sad at the end devs wanted to kill us with spam of t34 xD

@aceb20 @Volkmann: The truth is that Hitler himself didn't care about the civilians nor about the German people in general after it was clear that there was no chance of winning the war anymore. He would never have said that officially though but you can read about what Hitler said to Albert Speer on March 19th 1945. Civilians were evacuated, especially before the Red Army reached Berlin, but at the same time others were shot who were believed to undermine the German perseverence. However, there were many officers in the German Wehrmacht who tried to save people or their men.

@LVE-R0YAL3: You can use any mod you want, but just ntoe that this mission was originally designed for No Mods. If you choose to use a mod, the mission may work but it might play very differently to how I intended it to play out. The difficulty may be too easy or impossibly hard, units may spawn when not intended or in the worst case scenario the entire mission may not work.

It's because of all this I just thought it would be easier if I simply mentioned to use No Mods. But you can still use mods to play at your own peril lol :)

works 170 more unitys in this mod ? because they add only more units and buildings

Still waiting on sources for your claims. Unless you just like spouting stuff without backing it up. If so, please continue.

@Volkmann (Heiney): Many thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
