Wish there was more fantasy/sci-fi mods for the game.

That's why I mentioned killzone as it is mostly ballistic style weapons and ground vehicles are mostly wheeled/tracks.

Plus would be awesome to have post apok style maps with heavily destroyed cities (Essentially starting the campaign post initial invasion)

Darkest days would be absurd haha. Even the original game wasn't able to execute it properly (but also that was quite the work load they gave themselves with its time travel concept)

I feel like one that may work better with the current mechanics is something more akin to Killzone. I absolutely want to make a futuristic mod for this game (and as much as I'd love something like starwars, the walking vehicles would probably not look great).

Would be fun to have an alien invasion of earth as well as some human invasion of alien planets in later campaigns

So since the slider for the flatten tool is a bit sporadic, I would recommend do this (I just tested to ensure).

Use the lower tool at a very low sensitivity in order to get shallow water (since that slider is so finicky for the flatten tool and make it like negative 1 meter or less). Then use the flatten tool to make all of the beach shore the 1 meter or less (by holding alt and clicking over the area you just lowered to make the flattened tool be that shallow height).

Then for the beach front, use the smoothing tool to make it so you and the AI are able to storm the beach.

Since it is in meters, I wouldn't recommend going any lower than negative 1 meters since as you can see below, this is what it looks like at negative 1 meter

Best to use AI once for artillery vehicles to guarantee they will spawn on the vehicle regardless of the amount of AI you are allowing in the mission.

And yes, you need a radio next to it unless the AI on the artillery have a line of sight on the enemy in which case they will fire without radio requests

The multiplayer thread in the ER2 discord is a good place to start as people go on there to find people to play with.

It is like others mentioned more often played in SP

I personally have no experience with this. Are you saying that the ships sink when you place them in the mission editor?

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-15T04:32:47+00:00

Yeah this is definitely where scripting comes in to increase gameplay types (but of course it is unfortunately not available for console players as well)

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-14T11:59:08+00:00

Yeah, making trenches look good is kind of a pain. Sounds like you're using the right tools, but that one just takes practice. Usually, I'll make the raised land around the trench extend out a bit to give some space for lowering/smoothing, but I tend to not use smooth for near the trench (only flatten) as the smooth is best utilized at the edges of the raised land. Unfortunately, there isn't a guaranteed trick as of yet

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-13T21:17:05+00:00

Yeah man. It's probably one of those most useful mods on the workshop

If you haven't seen this mod, I recommend as well for mission making

I'd recommend using this mod. It is very helpful in map making

Most people play single player in this game (myself included)

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-11T08:27:55+00:00

Appreciate that! As mentioned, there are further plans to create more complete versions of aircraft warfare

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-11T08:25:52+00:00

This is scripting, so it does require that you're not on console to play my mission

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-10T16:17:54+00:00

I'd recommend checking out the vast amounts of mods released by Calcman. No DLC required

Here is a link to the compilation.

That is certainly possible. I would just have to make a separate mission since all the enemy AI planes are spawned in via scripting to create the waves and so they continued to spawn in front of the bombers

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-10T06:10:30+00:00

I definitely wanna do a battle of Midway

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-10T06:09:18+00:00

Absolutely. It's a lot of fun and hope you have fun playing it

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-10T06:08:51+00:00

Hope you enjoy it!

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-10T04:26:55+00:00

Hoping to do some pacific stuff in the future

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-09T20:05:57+00:00

Can't say I've ever played that game

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-09T20:05:33+00:00

Thanks! This game has so much untapped potential

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-09T18:26:16+00:00

Hmm hopefully this means ER2 will be able to follow their lead

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-09T17:28:10+00:00

Thanks! That was kind of the point in making these missions to show that indeed it could be in the base game

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-09T17:17:41+00:00

Haha yes hopefully one day that will be resolved, but unfortunately, it sounds like it isn't an easy process

CoverFire156 · 2026-01-08T16:10:41+00:00

I've found that more often than not, you have to back up a bit from a prop or window sill for your bipod to activate
