This community is for anybody who owns and plays the real-time strategy game Men of War. Men of War is a World War II strategy game that is extremely detailed. For example, every soldier has his own inventory, and can run out of ammo. Tanks also have fuel that must be managed. There is also a function called direct control, where you can control your vehicle or soldier's aiming and movement, similar to a 3rd-person shooter. This game is not for the faint of heart, but once you get past the learning curve you find possibly one of the most unique real-time strategy games out there.

[MoW2] The state of the game

I saw that MoW2 released an update bringing offline solo play along with some QoL features AND at 25% off. I got excited and started searching through the recent reviews. Unfortunately it seems the general consensus has yet to change.

Apparently infantry animations and pathfinding still need work and players seem upset they can't control individual units. Many have mentioned also being disappointed at there only being 3 factions to choose from as well as multiplayer being "dead".

Even with these mixed reviews I was still hopeful, so I went to Twitch to watch some live gameplay and decide whether to buy it or not... But there were 0 people streaming it and not a single broadcast in the last 24 hours.

I'm baffled that this is the state of the game after being 25% off and the devs answering the biggest complaint of the game ('always-online').

My question to the community is what needs to happen for you to pick up MoW2 again?

Noob question about mods

I just bought this game to play the W40k and Star Wars mods, but since I like WW2 games, I'm actually enjoying the base game a lot too, but my question is; Why I can't see "big" units in skirmish vs AI, for instance, no AT AT's despite Iv seen some pictures of them, you can even drive them in FPS as far as I know, or Baneblades in 40k?, I'm pretty sure I am missing something simple, idk if they only appear in some specific missions or there are some mechanics I'm not getting to improve the units you can deploy... as I said, I tried only in skirmish vs AI and they are not there and considering the game itself it's more complex than any other RTS I tried before. I rather ask. Thanks in advance!.

How Can I Add A Vision Cone to Vehicle with Multiple Turrets?

Hello, I have a mod that contains a tank that has two turrets. When testing it in the editor I noticed that the main turret has a "vision cone" that can be seen when fog of war is enabled, but the secondary turret does not. Is there a way to add vision cones to the secondary turret or its weapon in the vehicle's code? Thanks.

I know we have 2024 and im sad about it but is there any chance for custom campaigns, zombie defence, or something like tower defence? Any good mods are available in this shitty 2024?

So, within my PC's documents, I found that 12 GB are being taken up by Men of war assault squad 2's 'videos' folder. It contains an hour long video. Is this just a me thing, can I delete it?

I would love if anyone knows.

Soldiers Heroes of WW2 modding grenades

So if anyone here ever modded the original Soldiers game, please help.
I have a weird issue where if i add new types of grenades, they don't go into grenade slot, but instead into weapon slot and don't show in the list of grenades.
I seemingly do everything required, add tags in stuff.set, add them in throwing.inc, add description
but they just won't show in the grenade slot.
I'll attach some screenshots.

Weird Physics Glitch for Tank

I'm playing modded Men of War Assault Squad 2 and noticed a weird issue where a specific modded tank will have its physics glitch out and fly up into the air when its shot by another tank. Does anyone have any idea as to what could cause that to happen? Its only happening for one specific tank and not others.

Modded MOWAS2 descriptions/names bug

Hello, does anyone know how to fix these bugs? I have 2 major mods enabled which are UMW40k and Modern Warfare 3. Even with one of them enabled I still get bugs like this one. It doesn't affect gameplay much but it just doesn't feel right. Also when I hover my mouse over the units or vehicles like tanks it doesn't show the UI thing.

Please help

pic 1: How do you edit this text^? Change its colour, the text within the brackets, eg. I want to remove the \"(vs. UK)\" from the Siegfried Defense text

pic 2: How to edit these texts?

[SOLVED]

1) How does one edit the colour and text of the texts in this picture? (pic 1)

2) How does one edit the texts whilst the game is loading? (pic 2)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

I can't play in skirmish.

Recently I been getting this when ever I try to play in skirmish on single player. I had a few mods installed like Robs Realism mod and the call of duty mods. I have deleted those and uninstall and reinstalled the game. I have tried it in normal play and safe play. I can play single play campaign with no issue, it's only in skirmish games it won't even get past the first main menu screen before it quits. I have 16gb of ram so I'm not sure why it's freaking out. Any help would be appreciated, I love this game and want to keep playing it but this is very troubling

GEM Editor Crash - Cannot save in F3 nor Start on any mode

Some basic editor questions:

  1. How to combine units into a squad? I'm trying to do it by selecting them, then adding a new squad but they still seem kinda disjointed and independent of each other.

  2. how to make ai controlled units use cover more? it seems like they can be right next to tons of cover, but still decide to stay in open ground when in combat.

Thanks a lot for any answers.

MOWAS2: Autosave in Editor

Hey, I have a question: does anyone know where the map/mission is saved in the editor after starting it? I’m wondering because almost anyone who has used the editor more than once to create large battles has probably spent several hours creating a battle, only for the game to crash shortly after starting it, and all those hours of carefully placing units are lost if you forgot to save. This happens to me quite often, so I’m asking: where does the game save after clicking Start? Where can I find and recover it after a crash?

[GEM EDITOR HELP] Eastern style buidlings/Dockyards

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me towards where any Chinese/Japanese style buildings in the editor may be or any mods that add buildings with pagoda style roofs and oriental architecture. I am also trying to make a dockyard but I do not know what assets to use to put a wall into the sea where the dockyard ends (the picture shows the type of design I mean, they are circled in red)

[GEM EDITOR HELP] How to increase a truck's capacity/slots?

This is the standard 6x10 square slot in my supply truck.

This is the intended result from another modmaker. 12x15 slots.

How do I edit or where can I go to edit the size of the slots availiable (so that I can store more things).
Ive seen other modmakers create large vehicle slots, like twice this 6x10 size but cant seem to find where to edit it even in GEM editor.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Men of War Assault Squad 2 - USA Mission Dison (HELP)

What exactly am I doing wrong? I get to the last part of the mission where I have to go into enemy territory as the 'M26E4 Pershing' and kill the ace, but my tank simply does no damage. I’ve literally spent hours on this part and almost never manage to destroy any tanks (not for lack of hitting them—in fact, I hit the enemy tanks several times, but they seem immortal). It’s so frustrating; I’m not using any mods or anything.

If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it, because I've seen several videos on YouTube of this mission and they do it easily.
