Men of War
Men of War franchise is a series of world war two RTS (Real Time Strategy) games currently in Steam platform. It is a game set in the second world war where the player deploys troops strategicly to defeat
the opponent. There is a variety of troops within each unit(infantary units,armored units, naval units and air units) as well as game modes, e.g a set of different battles approach(Assault Zones,Day of Victory,Combat,Frontlines
). In this game the player seats the position of the commander in the field ,launching his troops towards his goals to achieve victory.
The game modes available are much similar to Conquest ,Dominition and Breakthrough from
Battlefield series. In the first game mode, the more flags you control the faster you score points until you reach your goal. The second game mode you score as much as you kill until you reach your goal. At last,in the third game mode , the ofensive faction goal is to capture stage by stage all the necessary flags in order to force the enemy faction to withdraw until he is defeated. In the other hand the defensive faction has to hold ground until the ofensive runs out of manpower.
The stage is set for the real time strategy game. Factions such as the USA, United Kingdom, Germany,Japan and Soviet Union fill the game with all types of content and diversity putting the player the hard decision to pick
in any context, e.g battle modes.
All this factions diversity is upon their strength in the field. It is mostly define by aggressivenes, pressure and counter-attack. In some factions that lack in mobility
you may find fire power or other perks according to it's units.
Modding Community
Men of war franchise had always a great community through all the series,Men of war Assault Squad 2 will not be an exception. As I mention in most of my work , It would not be possible for me to understand all the mechanics and the necessary tools of the game without the experience I absorved from other mods.
Imperium Portucale mod
As a fictional modification, this mod brings an alternative story for world war two. A different reaction from Portugal towards Japan advance through East Timor.
The part I got most of my mind focus was on uniforms and weapons.
I tried to get the most realistic ever. I had to put my photoshop skills on use to get the best of it. The only thing left then was to setup factions on code. That took a while. I also coded a new game mode but as time passed
by , and updates got released, my new game mode become unplayble due to major Digitalmindsoft team updates.
