Day of Defeat - By ScnPunk
New Additions
- Flags are now included in the player of the game score, each flag is worth 1 point
- Flag points are counted in food
- You can no longer just amass an army of all snipers, you have been limited to 1 sniper per team*
- The instructions are now more easily accessible, since many people had difficulty finding them
- Scoreboards have been added so now you can simply click on the scoreboard to find out how you are doing in comparison to your allies and your opponents
- Sergeants (M1 Thompson) and Unteroffiziers now move at a faster pace
*Snipers have been probably the biggest problem with this scenario. At first they were far to powerful and had to be toned down and then after that they had to be toned down again. Although Snipers are now balanced and building a full team of them is rather stupid as they are easy to counter, people continued to do it and it was really hurting gameplay so I have limited the amount of snipers per team to 1 per round. I think this will really help to open the game up as machine gunners will become a lot more deadly as well as useful and players will have to use their snipers wisely now instead of rushing with them.
There will probably be no further updates to this scenario.
Description
The year is 1944 allied soldiers have stormed the beaches of France and are now working their way towards the heart of Germany. On route lies the southern French town of Caen. Step into the combat boots of Allied soldiers trying to capture this strategic town as well as Axis soldiers defending Caen to protect the Fatherland. This Multiplayer Scenario is based on the popular WW II Half-Life modification, Day of Defeat. This scenario is a re-creation of the most popular DoD map, Caen 2.
How to play Day of Defeat
Day of Defeat is one of the most complicated Multiplayer Scenarios for Empire Earth out there. When the game begins all players are given 3 minutes to read the instructions. During this time all units are frozen, and thus unable to move. To listen to all of the instructions simply click on the Blue flag (for allies) or Yellow flag (for Axis) in front of the flags you use to spawn units.
When playing Day of Defeat you have a maximum pop of 8. Some units are worth 1 pop and others are worth 2. To spawn units you must click on the corresponding flag, the flags are Blue in colour for Allies and Yellow for Axis. Behind the flag is a computer unit, when you click on the flag you will spawn that particular unit. Once you hit your max of 8 pop you will be unable to spawn anymore units until all of your current ones are dead and reinforcements have arrived. You will know when reinforcements arrive because it will flash across the screen. "Allied reinforcements are on route"
The goal of Day of Defeat is to capture all of the strategic points in the French city of Caen. Flags symbolize points, so the object is to capture all 6 flags on the map. If a flag is captured for the Allies it will turn Blue, if it is captured for the Axis it will turn Yellow. Each team must capture the city 3 times to secure the city once and for all and win. Your secondary goal is to try to kill as many enemy units as possible while sustaining low casualty rates. The player that accomplishes this is awarded player of the game at the end of the game. Your kills are kept track of by the gold count at the bottom of your screen and your deaths are kept track of by Iron.
During the game you are able to plant TNT in certain strategic spots around the city. Spots are symbolized by white flashing balls. To pick up TNT go to your corresponding colour blotch in your base, you will see a white ball above it. Only one unit may pick up the TNT per round, however the TNT will return once reinforcements arrive. You will know that your unit has the TNT because he will now have 1 Stone by his unit stats. To plant the TNT simply go up to the building of your choice that is marked and stay there for 5 seconds. When the TNT is planted you will receive a message, it is time to get clear. If you stand beside the building you will surely die.
If you try to enter one of your opponents bases you will be sent to spawn camp prison for 2 minutes. During this time you can not spawn units. Once the two minutes is up you will see your units leave the prison and you will be able to participate in the game again.
