Welcome to the new server!

We will be upgrading the look and feel of the server, so we hope you enjoy your stay.

Please report any issues / bugs or concerns.

Hey guys,

As you are all well aware, our current server has been lacking causing very large lag, crashes and overall poor game experience for us all.

We have made the desicion to move to a new server, and will be migrating over this week - so expect slow-downs, loss of connections, unable to browse the forum or login to the launcher at times.

This will be finished as soon as we can.

Regards
The EIRR Development team

Server Migration Discussion

Just a heads up for all new accounts out there.

The resource advantages are now FREE, you no longer have to spend PPs on getting them for the remaining duration of the war.

You are still restricted in the amount of resource bonuses you can unlock.
One Tier 3, One Tier 2 and One Tier 1

We decided that this was a necessary step to give newer accounts a fighting chance in this stage of the war.
After the upcoming wipe we will likely introduce costs again but expect to see the resource amounts you can unlock somewhat lowered.

Enjoy!

One of our community members has compiled a great new trailer for us to view!

Thanks Baine!

Europe In Ruins: Reinforcements, the Persistancy mod for Company of Heros are proud to roll out revision 005.

Talk about it here

Hey guys,

The mod is back up and running, just run the updater - and you should be set.

Just a few things (bugs...)

-  Some maps will crash the game.  A seperate post will be made to keep track of them.
The updated list is here:
Updated Map List

Just a quick update, the new 2.400 patch has broken compatibility with Europe In Ruins: Reinforcements.

Hopefully, later this week, the patch for TOV will remove the restrictions imposed.

Thanks for your patience.

EiR combines the fast paced strategy of vCoH with a persistant and ongoing war. The game is intense and action packed.

EIR:Reinforcements adds to the initial game we all love by adding in the British, the Panzer Elite, a new game mode, and a whole new back-end launcher with new innovative systems for army purchase and persistence.  What is in this release:

- Play all four armies (British, PE, American, Wehrmacht)!
- Glider drops and Fallschrimjager paradrops!
- A new game mode!
- The ability to choose Allied/Axis attack!
- 29 maps specifically designed for EIR:R, as well as the ability to play all of your old vCoH favorites!
- A brand new launcher!
- Complete persistency!  All units retain vet, and continue to use it in their next battles!
- A complete installer that contains the EIR:R files, launcher, and maps!
- Basic unit unlock doctrines!
- A new soft capping availability system!
- The gameplay experience that you've come to know and love from Europe In Ruins!


The EIR:R field book will cover all of the games new systems, units, and tweaks in detail.  Want to see how availability will work?  Want a walk through of the new EIR:R advantages to help balance out the newest players and the oldest veterans?  Would you like to see the future plans of EIR:R?  Look no further!


One thing that has always been a challenge is the complexity of getting a game.  But with the new EIR:R launcher, that complexity should be a thing of the past.  Check out these screenshots, showing off the sign-in page, company builder, and the battle room.


If you are interested in learning more about the launcher, watch the Launcher Demonstration video here:


or read the ultimate guide here:


What will happen now:

If you are an old-timer, your precious armies from this last, long war will be removed.  The War Control Panel will cease to exist.  It will be replaced by a link to register and download the new launcher.

If you are new, and would like to try the persistent world of EIR:R, sign up over at the forums here:


Either way, once you have a forum account, register here!


And, when you're done registering, download all the EIR:R files.  We hope to see you on the battlefield!


Thank you to all those who have waited for this release, we have put a lot of effort into bringing you a stable and enjoyable experience!
