Hello people,
I am very happy to announce the creation of an Organized Battle (OB) for Company of Heroes: Eastern Fronts that is being arranged by the CoH Brazilian Comunity.
Company of Heroes: Europe War (EW).
EW will face off two opposing teams of players; the Allies and the Axis; as they set off across European battlefields set on domination and victory.
For this we have a tactical map that represents the locations of the separate sides and their armies as they re-write the battles of WW2 in pre-arranged ingame battles using community and Relic made maps based off each location.
(http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/6060/mapaok7.jpg)
Each team will have 12 players, divided by military rankings (Supreme Commanders will be voted for by the players), distributed into the 5 armies of CoH:EF. Each player will take command of one military historically based division; for example:
- 101th Airborne (US)
- 11. Panzer Division (Wher)
- 10th Guards Uralsko-Lvovskaya Tank Division (USSR)
At the start of the campaign, each player will take possession of a limited number of territories. Then, through the use of our forums the teams will organize themselves; moving, attacking and defending as needed - on the tactical map. If a commander orders one of his divisions to attack a territory already defended by an enemy division, then a battle will be fought in Company of Heroes Eastern Front between these players. Leading to 1v1s, 2v2s and more as Commanders assault barely defended regions or push for large assaults on important sectors.
The division that wins this match will take control of this territory.
Battles will continue back and forth as armies fight their way across Europe, a Europe at war, until finally a team reaches one of their Final Objetives.
Allies:
a) Take control of Berlin.
b) Take control of +85% of the territories before June of 1946.
Axis:
a) Take control of Stalingrad.
b) Take control of +15% of the territories before June 1946 (its considered conditional surrender of Germany, because difficult for Allies to invade - for EW its considered German victory because its not an unconditional surrender).
c) "Expurge" US and Brits from West Europe.
Players exceptional actions will have rewards. Players can see the EW history developmente reading an journal with the last news from the front:
(http://i28.servimg.com/u/f28/16/28/01/94/jornal11.jpg)
The matches replays will be analyzed by the EW organization, and players may be commanded. With medals and other awards available to achieve; such as:
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8609/ru5orderofglory1stclass.png) Order of Glory: Medal given to a Soviet division that makes brave use of Armour (IS-2, T34, Su-85, ISU-152, KV-2 and others).
(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/1167/we13scrossoftheironcros.png) Knigth Cross: Medal given to a German leader that shows bravery in defending Germany, doing deeds above and beyond the call of duty and the average commander.
The Main Features of EW:
- Teamwork; planning, strategy and comunication between players.
- Mix of Real Time Strategy and Turn Based game.
- Medals and promotions: players will be rewarded and these rewards will be on a "Honor Hall" forever on EW.
- Medals, locations, names and Divisions based maximun possible in historical facts.
- Prize: U$46,00 game on steam (we are receiving donations).
- Weeks of FUN!!

PS: The drawback on this first version of EW:
We are acepting ONLY portuguese speaking players, because all forum structure and EW rules are in portuguese, and we can't make it in english, YET. On future versions you can expect opened to other players.

Apresentando Company of Heroes: Europe War
Comande seu exército rumo à vitória!
Segunda Guerra Mundial: um evento que marcou profundamente a história da humanidade, não somente pela guerra contra a tirania de governantes opressores, o surgimento de novas tecnologias, novas táticas, mortes, violência, crueldade, intolerância, mas também por atos de nobres e de bravura de pessoas, que no meio do inferno da guerra, extenderam a mão ao próximo. Atos nobres de civis, soldados e até mesmo generais.
Tais histórias de bravura foram reconstituidas inúmeras vezes no cinema, literatura, livros e jogos, incluindo o aclamado jogo Company of Heroes, um jogo de estratégia que figura entre os melhores já criados no gênero.
Agora chegou a vez de assumir de fato o papel que é dado a você quando está jogando o Company of Heroes. O papel de um verdadeiro General da Segunda Guerra mundial. Você não irá simplesmente jogar uma partida, você será parte de um verdadeiro cenário de guerra! Fará parte de um exército, de um plano, onde participará de batalhas e decisões que afetarão toda a sua equipe no decorrer do torneio. Cada partida jogada, irá influenciar as outras partidas a serem jogadas.
A idéia por traz do Europe War:
O Company of Heroes: Europe War (apelidado de "EW") é uma tentativa de adaptar o conceito de "Batalhas Organizadas" como por exemplo o Battle for Europe (BfE) ou o brasileiro Batalha pelo Mundo (BpM) - normalmente usando jogos de tiro (FPS) - ao Company of Heroes, que é um RTS (estratégia em tempo real).
A idéia por traz das batalhas organizadas é fazer com que os jogadores de um game online de guerra sejam organizados de forma semelhante a um exército na vida real, com patentes, ordens, subordinados, organização, delegação de funções, treinamento, inteligência (análise do inimigo ou espionagem), condecorações e demais características que possui um exército. Há também a idéia de persistência dos acontecimentos e situações que ocorreram na batalha anterior, que influenciarão na batalha seguinte como territórios tomados, medalhas, promoções e outros.
Porém nos jogos FPS o conceito é diferente devido a estrutura do jogo: cada jogador controla apenas o seu personagem, e vários jogadores podem jogar juntos em uma mesma partida. Já em um RTS como o CoH, teve que ser adaptado.
Para melhor entendimento, o Europe War será como uma mistura do jogo de tabuleiro "War", que na verdade é um jogo de estratégia por turnos, com o Company of Heroes, que é um jogo de estratégia em tempo real. Haverá duas etapas de jogo: uma jogada em estratégia por turnos e a outra em tempo real. As decisões que forem tomadas durante a fase de estratégia por turnos irá influenciar a fase de tempo real, e vice-versa, sucetivamente, até que haja um vencedor.
Como funciona o Company of Heroes: Europe War?
Resumidamente, cada jogador que se inscrever no torneio será designado para uma das forças, Aliados ou Eixo e então para o exército de de sua preferência (USA, Britânicos, URSS, Whermacht e Panzer-Lehr). Se não houverem vagas no exército de primeira opção, o jogador será direcionado para a sua segunda opção e assim por diante. O jogo a ser usado é o Company of Heroes, podendo ter qualquer uma das versões (Company of Heroes básico, Opposing Fronts ou Tales of Valor, qualquer um dos 3 já pode participar). Além disso será usado o mod Eastern Fronts, que adiciona o exército russo ao Company of Heroes normal. O mod pode ser baixado gratuitamente em http://www.easternfront.org (http://www.easternfront.org).
Cada jogador irá então assumir o papel de um GENERAL DE DIVISÃO. Após assumido o "cargo", cada jogador deverá jogar todo o torneio somente com o exército escolhido. Haverão sessões do fórum específicas para cada exército, divisão e que serão secretas - não poderão ser acessadas pelas divisões inimigas. Haverão também salas específicas para os cinco GENERAIS DE EXÉRCITO que serão líderes - jogadores escolhidos por votação no início do torneio para orientar e comandar cada equipe de um exército.
Os jogadores serão designados para uma das regiões disponíveis, em um mapa que é fiel ao mapa da Europa + Rússia em 1944. Cada país é dividido em regiões chamadas TERRITÓRIOS, e cada território corresponde a um mapa específico do jogo Company of Heroes. Os jogadores então discutirão táticas e estratégias entre as equipes e irão tomar decisões de atacar ou defender estes territórios. Quando isso acontecer, haverá uma partida no Company of Heroes entre o jogador defendendo o território e o jogador atacando o território.
Cada jogador só pode atacar um território que faça fronteira com o seu território. Ocorrerão partidas 1v1 e 2v2, porém a maioria serão 1v1. Por isso cabe ao comandante usar planejamento, coerência, conhecimento a respeito do mapa e seus setores, de seus comandados e também do que o inimigo possui para enfrentá-los, sabedoria e estratégia na hora de designar o território inicial de cada jogador, bem como definir onde serão feitos os ataques. Um bom comandante também deve saber ouvir opiniões dos outros jogadores.
O OBJETIVO FINAL de cada lado do conflito é o seguinte:
ALIADOS:
- Dominar completamente a cidade de Berlim
- Cercar Berlim e manter possuir 85% dos territórios (158 ou mais) em Junho de 1946
EIXO:
- Invadir Stalingrado e dominá-la por 3 rodadas
- Aniquilar ou expulsar Estados Unidos e Inglaterra completamente do Oeste da Europa e Mediterrâneo.
- Defender todos os níveis de Berlim e possuir mais de 15% dos territórios (28 ou mais) em Junho de 1946.
Para haver vitória de uma equipe, é necessário que se cumpra qualquer um dos objetivos finais.
Após o término de cada partida os jogadores deverão reportar quem venceu, anexando o replay. O lado que perdeu irá ceder o território para o lado vencedor, e haverá um mapa da Europa, que será atualizado constantemente, mostrando quais territórios estão sobre o domínio de cada facção e também um "jornal" com as últimas novidades do front!
Principais características do EW:
- Trabalho em equipe, que mistura decisões no fórum e decisões no CoH com empenho real para atingir um objetivo em conjunto.
- Mistura de estratégia por turnos com estratégia em tempo real.
- Medalhas e promoções que os jogadores ganharem ficarão em uma sala de honra durante o torneio e também após o torneio em uma sala de honra.
- Localidades, medalhas, diviões e exércitos baseados na realidade da Segunda Guerra Mundial.
- Premiação: um jogo do Steam no valor de U$ 15,00 (ou mais se houverem doações) que será sorteado entre os jogadores da equipe vencedora que não tiverem WO (ausências) em partidas.
- Semanas de diversão!!
Então não perca tempo e aliste-se na Academia de Oficiais, seja um poderoso general e conduza seu exército a votória! As inscrições vão até o dia 3 de Julho. Data para o início do torneio 17 de Julho:

You can remove portuguese to post on homepage.
Its purelly using EF mod. But all the tournament is organized to be as a real battle. That's because they call this thing "OB" (Organized Battle).
There is a BO in Battlefield 2 with the mod Forgotten Hope. Look at http://myinternetservices.com/tournaments/content.php?r=309-world-at-war. (http://myinternetservices.com/tournaments/content.php?r=309-world-at-war.)
We has only 5 slots left from 24. So if anyone want to play better be quick.

@Cranialwizard
It's like a tournament. This sounds amazing ;D...
About this being post on the news, i'll talk with the members of the Dev team :)... but i'm sure they will be reading this before i can say a word.
I can post it in our facebook profile as well, just give me the translation you want to post ;D. I'm sure a lot of users will read it.

Awesome!!! Brilliant idea!
-
I sounds like a campagin and also like the browsergame supremacy.
-
Wow! Good idea! :D
-
Is there seriously a city in Belarus called Slutsk?
This seems like a pretty cool idea.

You got to be Portugise to participate in WWII? :P
-
Every map square is one map the 2 enemies are fighting in? When true, where are those maps??
-

Did the Portuguese actually participate?
-
EF should definitely adopt something like this. Have an interactive WW2 map and have each participating player represent a unit on the map. Like CranialWizard commanding / representing German 9th Army for example... The player could then engage in 1v1s or also call a friend who also represents the same nation to help in a 2v2 to fight for territory on the map.

sure, they conquered.... oh, sorry, they did in my HoI3 game :-[
-
Portugal was technically Neutral during WWII. Lisbon was an espionage center for both sides. The USA had air presence in the Azores which iirc was Portugese but; I'm not sure how that would affect neutrality.
Brasil on the other hand fought with the Allies in Italy.

Wait, so... What exactly is the prize?
- Prize: U$ 15,00 game on steam (we are receiving donations)
I don't understand that... ???

I assume it's 15$ to spend on Steam.

Which maps will be used for a territorial fight? f.e. for moscow its the 1vs1 moscow map, right?
-
Amazing community. Post replays please and keep the map updated :D.
-
I think we need to make a own map with own territories.
-
People thanks for the praising! :D
The map is based on real life 1944 map of Europe, including territorial changes (like Germany territory going over Poland and Checoslovak) and city names. I made a great research about this. City locations may be a little changed (milimeters), but is almost all ok.
Every map square is one map the 2 enemies are fighting in? When true, where are those maps??
Yes, but there are repeated maps because there is no suficiente quality maps for current 185 territories (future versions will have more territories!!) the map list can be seen here:
http://cohew.forumeiros.com/t6-mapa-situacional-do-confronto-atualizado-dia-11-02-2011 (http://cohew.forumeiros.com/t6-mapa-situacional-do-confronto-atualizado-dia-11-02-2011)

Absolutelly correct.
People, the main reason that in this first version of EW, we will only alow portuguese speaking players its because all rules/forum/texts/guides are in portuguese, as my english is very bad. But you can expect EW opened to all English speaking players on future versions, maybe on second!!! This first version will be a "debut", them it make easier if we only allow portuguese players, because comunity feedback. My idea always was to be opened to all players arround the world, them expect that in future versions.
Wait, so... What exactly is the prize?
Quote
- Prize: U$ 15,00 game on steam (we are receiving donations)
I don't understand that...
I personally donated U$ 15,00, but all other donations will be converted in prizes for participants. I will raffle the prize (or prizes, if we have more donations) between participants of winning team. Winners can choose a steam game of U$ 15,00.
Which maps will be used for a territorial fight? f.e. for moscow its the 1vs1 moscow map, right?
Yes. The first parameter to make the map list was: real map names -> CoH map name. Moscow territory will be figth on [EF]Moscow (2), Lorraine territory will be figth on Lorraine (4). But may be other territories with the same maps.
Amazing community. Post replays please and keep the map updated .
Thanks pal, the tournament subscription go until 3 July. Them teams will have 2 weeks to organize themselves and training. The first round will start in 17 July.
I think we need to make a own map with own territories.
Did you say dedicated CoH maps? Yeah would be very nice, I thinked about it, but its humanly impossible because time/real life :-\. Actoally we have 185 territories.
I took about 7 months for planning and make all the thing as it as.
-
English updated, and posted on main ;)
Keep up the great work.

MUSSST play, but I fear I can't.
Cursed NAT problem :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Thank you very much Dragon93. ;D
Hey, I writed some time ago a post on Relic Foruns about NAT problem. Its pretty easy to fix:
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?145905-quot-Could-not-connect-to-all-players-quot-error (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?145905-quot-Could-not-connect-to-all-players-quot-error)
Ironically, I posted to see if anyone had a fix about the problem. But no one managed to solve, then I talked by phone with D-Link technicians and after some research I managed to find the solution. The solution can be used to solve the same NAT problem with other modens models/brands.
Admins: feel free to copy topic content to this forum, as I visit EF forum more frequently than Relic and can give a suport some time or another.

This in English would be epic! the idea is great. How do you show the progresses? Do have a tool or flash animation which changes country colour when changing the owner or how does it work?
-
You all can look forward for next version being in english, opened to all language players. The progress will be show in the map in this link:
http://cohew.forumeiros.com/t6-mapa-situacional-do-confronto-atualizado-dia-11-02-2011 (http://cohew.forumeiros.com/t6-mapa-situacional-do-confronto-atualizado-dia-11-02-2011)
As check-in is currently underway, the map is in "zero" state. As the tournament begins, each Army Leader will place its players under predetermined territories (there will be a degree of freedom to do that, respecting historical limitations), them the map colors will change acordingly.
Ah!! I wanted so much to have a flash map exactly as you discribed dArCReAvEr, but can't find no flash progammer willing to do that :-\. But would be GREAT!!!

As Axis and Allies struggle each other for the victory on Europe and Soviet Union, the war is going on.
On the first round of the conflict, Axis took a hard punch. Axis team was a bit "lost" and lose too many matches, particulary on Italy/South France. Beside that, on the Eastern Front, the Soviet comander don't send the orders to divisions before the time gone off, then all divisions remained static, just defending themselves.
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3221/final2rodada01082011.jpg)
But now in the Round 2 that ended today, we got some amazing matches. One of the best was the "Delmar77 vs Vitor P." on St. Mere Dummont, in a figth for the Vyatka. Delmar77 is from Wehrmacht army and is a 8 lvl 1v1 automatch player trained so much for the tournament, that can hold and almost win over Vitor P., a lvl 12 (US) player that is playing in the Soviet army.
Another very nice and high level match was the one between Cebi and sgtyoda. Cebi is a LvL 16-17 1v1 automatch player and sgtyoda is a LvL 16 1v1 automatch player. I recomend that all players that like EF Mod watch this replays. Cebi was playing Panzer Lehr army (PE) and sgtyoda was playing Soviets. They are figthing for Tartu territory, on Soviet Union, that now is under Axis control.

i ve seen some of the replays and ive gotta say i was hoping for more most are flat out steamrolls newbies vs exp. players

Its a tournament, its perfectly normal that have some unbalanced matches, like all tournaments.
In the future, the chance of balanced high lvl players matchs occur will increase, as the best players go trougth lower lvl players frontlines and reach other high lvl players. Its from tournament structure.

ok
it wasnt meant as an insult
