allies vs allies and axis vs axis
« on: July 12, 2012, 01:54:08 PM »
Is there any add on mod that allows me to play allies vs allies and axis vs axis?

Sort of like what the NHC mod did, except without such major changes to actual game play

I'd love to try soviets against americans

You can play SU vs SU but you need an extra buddy to go to automatch. IDK about the allies vs allies though :(

The NHC mod basically has all 5 factions in allies as well as axis. Except with that mod its also got nebelwerfer donkeys and tankless americans etc

Now I wouldn't think its a good idea in terms of multiplayer because the delicate balancing, but sometimes I'd just like to play a game in skirmish thats a bit like simulated cold war in ww2 soviets vs americans.

Surely it wouldn't be too hard? I mean its been done in another mod, maybe it can be some sort of optional add on? I'm sure i'm not the only one who's wanted to play a game like that

Or if its not too complicated, even a sticky with instructions on how to mod it ourselves?

Im sorry I forgot to mention. You can play SU vs SU (never tried it though) AND SU vs US. But you still need a buddy in automatch.

This has been discussed previously and the same answer has been given every time:

COH has a historical base and feel which are essential to the experience. It's not C&C or Starcraft, so no we'll never do that. We're following  the ethos of Relic's original COH and that is the core of our endavours.

You can make some sort of personal mod and play the way you like but we certainly won't do anything like this

The search bar may come in handy but I know that doesn't work sometimes. Mixing factions destroys game balance on so many levels.

Yeah I saw that, which is why I asked if theres a way to have it as an add-on to the EF mod or simply a tutorial thread to show others how to do it for single player only

If he knew how to do it I dont think he'd be here atm :P. And I dont think EF currently has a program or tutorial about mirror fights AFAIK.

Actually, you need to change only a few lines of code to do that. Thats what BB told me to do anyways :P

Can you explain what you did so that Temur (and maybe me :P) can do the same?

This is an interesting prospect.  Granted the balance would go out the window, but screw that it'd be fun!

There is a mod which does exactly this, its called the mix mod and its available on moddb.

They have specific versions for various mods, including easternfront 1.61. It works for both skirmish and multiplayer.
The only problem it has is that it sometimes awards you a match loss in the stats, even if you win, so you may want to create a new profile for this, if stats are important.

The link is below:

If you get nhc mod, you can play as the soviets vs say American.  The only major problem with that is you get 500 mp income instead of 270 for some strange reason.  It was fun owning Tommies with the Red Banner Strelky PPSH-41 blob.
