The newest patch brought to you from the multiplayer fanatics over at hoiplayers forums.
This mod is currently being playtested by 6 regular multiplayer groups. Feedback is always welcome
. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A FIRST PATCH FOR ARM SO SOME ISSUES WILL CROP UP.
--------------------------------------------------------
For those that dont know - some info about the mod:
The goal of this modification is to correct "some" of the issues in HoI 2 ARM that paradox doesnt care about.
This mod starts in 1938 (march 16th) and is mainly done for multiplayers though SP players can play this mod without any real issues.
The mod is designed with the following goals in mind:
* Primary emphasis on balanced multiplayer games
* Slower paced and more realistic combat (no "clickfests")
- slowed down movement
- made combat last longer
- put more emphasis on reorging and reinforcing units (takes more time)
- battles more deadly thus more damage thus more need for longer stops
- ships dont die so quickly verus planes so you have a chance to react (planes can get badly damaged or shot down by better cv groups)
- longer build times and less mp
- more need to plan ahead due to longer reorg, battles, build times
- & much much more
* No needless additions in regards to gifs and other grafics that just slow down the game
* Historical accuracy and realism
* Minor countries being realistic, playable and competitive
* Ai tuned for MP stlye of play
* Get rid of vanilla exploits used in MP
The real advantage of this mod is that its constantly tweaked by a number of groups that play the mod, not like some of the other popular SP mods which are done by players who dont test their changes or mainly concentrate on handsoff tests which of course in MP can turn out differently.
This mod is in development for 2 years and there are about 6 groups that are playing it on a regular basis (that I know of). More info over on www.hoiplayers.notlong.com
Feedback is appreciated after you play a bit
