Greets all!
Ok, so I've been tidying up the last of my undergrad assignments and I thought (having distracted myself a hell of a lot with the CM:RT demo) that I'd take the plunge and use the last of my week's budget to purchase the game... I'm looking forward to having some fun with it and I wanted to poke my head in, say hi to the community and ask a few questions...
Firstly; I've always been a huge fan of modding communities. I used to play a lot of silent hunter (III, before it got ruined ) and although the game was always decent, the mods that came out later (grey wolves expansion, all the effects, ecterything) just expanded it beyond imagination. I still remember waking up to the sound of an unstable washing machine after a 12 hour binge and thinking 'ugh... is it my watch already?' The 2.5 hours sleep there probably didn't help...
Anyway I digress horribly. I've had a browse through the mods section and google and I found GreenAsJade's site (which I get is just one user hosting!) but found it tricky to navigate or sort which was good, popular ect... so is there any good 'go to' list or suggestions people might have for must-have mods?
I also noticed most of the mods are graphical/texture/map related... does the game not support engine modification (e.g. tweaking ballistics, armour ect ) or the addition of new units?
Some guidance there appreciated...
Secondly: Shout out from the arse end of the universe (and why you won't see many z's in my spelling!) I'm Australian and I was wondering if there were many/any fellow Aussies on here? I love multiplayer games, but I've never had much luck finding people to play with when it comes to strategy and tactics sims. The closest I've got is warthunder and that's.... eh. Fun but not the same?
Thirdly: I've heard discussion of historical tactical reference manuals being used in playing this game... anyone have any handy links or has established a wiki/repository yet?
Looking forward to chatting here and of course, playing more of the game!
