I tried Kmod, but after downloading the autoinstaller it wouldnt run, same thing happened with NHC  :? It looked pretty cool, but I'll just make due with Blitzzkreig

BOTB was the only other mod besides EF that I ever bothered with. I typically dont try mini mods that just reskin a few things or tweak a few values. I mainly am into stuff like total conversions, that completely revamp or significantly add to gameplay.

I'd love to see a REAL mod about north africa instead of some half-assed mod that reskins a few units, adds 3 or 4 new maps, and calls itself a mod.

Eastern Front is a mod that has the right idea. New sounds for units (even if the voices are placeholder russian COH stock sounds), new types of units with entirely new models instead of mere reskins of existing models, and a myriad of new maps that fit the setting.

Outside of Battle of the Bulge, I haven't seen enough of that going on with the other COH mods.

It's just a damn pity what's happened to Battle of the Bulge. When the Tales of Valor patch hit, almost all the mods were rendered inoperable for a while. Most of them patched up immediately to get working again, but BotB wasn't among them. It languished for roughly a year before someone finally decided to get it working again. Unfortunately by that time everyone had pretty much forgotten about it.

I always hate seeing good mods die for no good reason.

I can't speak for the rest of the mods, but Battle of the Bulge is just like Eastern Front, has it's own startup completely seperate from the main game.

Make no mistake, we've had more publicity than any coh mod could have hoped for and that is why we've had so many downloads. The content of EF is unprecedented and unmatched compared to any other coh mod.

However, the resulting gaming experience did not satisfy the very large majority of people and I for one accept this and understand the reasons behind it.

I agree with the posts that the initial experiance may have overwhelmed most. This is why I want to start a petition to have "EASY AI's" Manpower and Fuel delayed in some way.

 I think it will give Ppl who don't have every weekend to play (or just generally new) a fighting chance or to have fun with the MOD. Leave HARD and EXPERT AI alone as it is, but EASY AI should be more of a fish in the barrel.

whadda say???

yeah, Easy AI should be easy, just a practice dummy.
