Europe In Ruins is an award-winning multiplayer-only persistency mod for Company of Heroes. Choose a doctrine, build your company, and take command in a persistent warmap campaign. Lead your company into battle against other players, and take your troops from fresh recruits to hardened veterans.
## About This Game
Europe In Ruins features:
* ## An Independent Launcher Application
Europe In Ruins uses an stand-alone launcher application to handle company
creation, doctrine selection, unit management, and for launching battles. Read
the latest updates, track the progress and results of other battles, link your
Twitch account, and participate in the ongoing online warmap campaign, all
through the launcher.
* ## Persistent Companies, Persistent Campaign
Every battle counts! If a unit survives, it will earn XP for participating in
battle, and for every kill. This veterency is recorded and persists beyond the
end of the battle. Your battle results will also have an impact on the ongoing
campaign, where the Allies have landed in Normandy and must fight to retake
Europe, and the Axis must stand firm in their defence of France. But if a unit
gets wiped out in battle it will be lost forever, taking their precious
veterancy with them. You must choose between giving your units the order to
retreat, or holding out to the very last man.
* ## A Unique Gameplay Experience
Europe In Ruins also features totally new gameplay features from Company of
Heroes. You no longer have a base to build or a tech tree to research, you
instead build your company in the launcher before each battle and call your
units into battle by requesting the unit “call-ins” you’ve arranged. Units
ordered to retreat will retreat off the map entirely, and are out of action
until the next battle. Infantry still captures territory, but there are no
more flags to capture; territory is instead captured by controlling the sector
and driving the enemy out, with more territory granting you a higher
Population cap to call units on. All this across 30 custom maps (and
counting!)
* ## Reward Units & Alternative Skins
Reward units are rare historical units that can be purchased using the Gold
you earn from battle, and are completely new from Company of Heroes. They can
be found in booster packs, traded with other players, or bought and sold on
the open market. Many doctrines also have multiple different historically
accurate unit skins that can be applied to them, which can be viewed and
activated through the in-game Rewards menu.
* ## Unlimited Potential
Each player may make a total of 9 doctrine selections for their company, out
of a total of 21 selections available to them, with an additional 6 different
combinations of resource bonuses available, giving each doctrine a total of
7,679,614,924,800 different possible combinations. And that’s before taking
any unit selection or playstyle into account!
* ## Quality Of Life Improvements
Huge quality of life changes include improved squad AI, improved vehicle
pathing, a built-in extended-zoom camera mod, and improved unit ability
hotkeys.
* ## An Active Community & Ongoing Development
Europe In Ruins has an active and dedicated playerbase, with players located
all across the globe and games available daily. The development team is also
hard at work on the mod, with updates patched and posted regularly. News and
updates can be found posted in our Discord channel, on our forum, and in the
launcher’s built-in News tab.
