Relic, which has created games like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and the Homeworld series, is no stranger to real-time strategy, and from what we've seen from the first few levels of the Allied campaign in Company of Heroes, fans of Dawn of War should be in for a treat when the game is released. Makes me mad how little support THQ or Relic were offering, but yeah, got it to work now so not fussed, and who said pirating doesn't pay off? Not sure what the moral to this story is.Recently, we were fortunate enough to try out the upcoming World War II real-time strategy game Company of Heroes, from developer Relic Entertainment and publisher THQ.
Well I played DOW2 which runs exactly the same THQ engine, so I already knew how to play, but yeah I do play the vanilla too, just not as much.Īnd I finally got it to work, I gave up on getting it to work on the copy of OF I bought, and instead 'acquired' ToV and got it to work with that. Relic adopted Steam and now you kind of have to adapt or die. I have OF and COH boxed but during a sale I shelled out like 3 bucks for the complete pack on Steam and it's a lot less hassle. Hardcopies kind of suck for COH these days unless you can intergrate with Steam. I'd play the campaign first in the vanilla game to get used to it though. I loved this game so much the first few years after it came out. I would make sure you play the vanilla first before jumping into mods since mods tend to add onto vanilla gameplay in more complex ways. Try the Battle of the Bulge mod, it's has an auto installer and is fairly simple. I haven't played COH in a while but back in the day when you launched a mod if you didn't include the -dev command the mods wouldn't load and the shortcut would just launch regular COH. The patchs are just developed side by side so the versions for the most part remain the same. You can't just patch up the expansion, you actually have to buy the expansions to get their additions.
But yeah the mod is up to date, but when I load up the mod it just loads the normal game, so I updated all the way to 2.062, and now my game wont load, I'm sick of this game already and only played one skirmish, even that wasn't great the enemy spawned a blockade of tanks. Crappy is an understatement! haha but yeah got a hard copy, bought both CoH and OF expansion, I was very pissed off to find that you can just patch up to the expansion, waste of £10.
