New player wondering about which mods to use - 4/14/2008 7:11:08 PM

Hi,

Actually, I'm not a new player. I own CC2, 3, 4 & 5 and have played CC3 through multiple times over the years but I've never used any mods, just the standard game.

I recently found out about CoI and bought it a few days ago. I've been playing the Grand Campaign, but I guess that's the old campaign. I'll have to try the new one? MMCC3?

Anyway, I've done a little looking around here and mods seem to be the big thing with CC3. I wouldn't mind a mod that encouraged my infantry to spread out a little more. I found a long thread about how the AI tends to buy too many tanks, so I wouldn't mind a mod that limited that. Other than that, I suppose I'd like to play on some different maps as I have played over the originals many times.

Any suggestions for which mods are most useful/popular/effective re: the above would be great.

Thanks very much!

Hi

1. The new campaign is "Cross of Iron Grand Camaign" "Fuger's Ostliche Wut '43 ~ '44" at the bottom of the campaigns list.

This campaign uses all new maps included in the release.

2. You can check out this site for mods http://closecombat.matrixgames.com/CoI/coimods.html

The infantry mod does what it says, limits the amount of tanks available.

All the mods are worth downloading and playing , each adds something new to the game.

I highly reccomend the infantry mod, I guess it used to be called "real infantry"; once I found it I never went back, and that was years before CIO came out.

anyone know if the infantry mod is compatible with any other mods? i'm playing through commonwealth summer and there's just too many damn tanks. I love the infantry only action in the vietnam infantry mod!
