This mod has been in development since 2007. Some major features are: Corpses of the fallen will now permanently stay, population caps have been increased, and new units. Each faction receives one hero unit, you can play with and against any faction, and there are Heroes, crazy stuff (like The Maus, Powell, zombies,...). It also contains an Infantry Only mode, Early war mode, No Pop-Cap mode, and Quick Start mode in the victory conditions. This mod is only for fun! If you are looking for complete realism, try another one. Some combiners with other mods like Star Wars Frontlines - The Galactic Civil War & Eastern Front are also available.
Merry Christmas! NHCmod v2.700f with the 2020 version of the Combiner for Easter Front (steam version) EDIT: 22-12-2020 patch for combiner shortcut and Annihilate - NoPopCap
As promised here is the latest version NHCmod v2.700f ! (The f is supposed to be for final... I am an optimist ^^). It also contains a combiner for playing with the latest steam version of "Company of Heroes: Eastern Front".
EDIT: 22-12-2020 I had to patch the combiner shortcut and the Annihilate - NoPopCap winning condition. Please delete the previous version and download the new version if you have downloaded a version before 22-12-2020 2pm GMT+1. The NHCmod v2.700f is the same only the combiner had to be updated. Sorry for the inconvenience.
----------------------------------- Installation ----------------------------------
1) Delete any previous version of the NHCmod
2) Execute and follow the instruction of the installer
3) Just Click on the shortcut created on your desktop to play the mod!
4) Do not forget to choose what units you want to activate/deactivate in the reward menu
Advice: It is recommended to defrag your Disk after installation for better performance.
From time to time, it would be useful to clear the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\My documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\LogFiles
uninstallation: just click on the uninstaller
Combiner instruction:
-Do everything above and install Company of Heroes: Eastern Front from steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/317600/Company_of_Heroes_Eastern_Front/)
The standard version or the beta version work.
- Make sure both NHCmod and Eastern Front works separately.
- Run the "Combiner beta" shortcut on your desktop or the "Combiner_beta.bat" in your company of heroes folder to start the combiner.
If you have the error message "Game is not being run as a known company of heroes product. try again by launching from steam" :
It may be because you have an antivirus that prevent the bat files to run the command "RelicCOH.exe -mod NHCToV -dev".
To go around that, make sure the mod was installed in the right folder, on the launching options from steam,
In library > on the left menu of your game list, right-click on company of heroes > property > general > define launching option you can add the command
-mod NHCToV -dev
or
-mod Combiner_Beta -dev for the combiner
This would run the mod. You would have to remove that command for running other mods.
If the game crashes with a report to Relic before getting to the main menu. It means that there is a conflict with another mod.
The easiest way to solve it is to delete the other mods. The other is to find the .ucs in the folders:
CoH\Locale\English
CoH\Engine\Locale\English
RelicOnline\Locale\English
that is not made by Relic (i.e. by the bad mod) and move it apart.

is this mod on steam?
Unfortunately no. I could not manage to put it on steam.
Hello! Great job as always, finally nerfed the opel blitz flak truck hahaha.
I do have some questions..
Will the zombie survival map be available for coop in the future?
Will the combiner be available for multiplayer later on?
For some reason, combiner skirmish matches start with a Fatal Scar error, then it will work like normal, but I can't win any matches, despite destroying the HQ and other buildings. Is this normal?
Thanks. And do keep up the great work!!
That's weird. On which victory mode/conditions are you playing?
What is your EF version?
I always have EF updated in Steam. I played 2 games as both Soviet and Ostheer. Mode was Annihilate (No Pop Cap)
Hum...There is indeed a problem with the Annihilate NoPopCap. Try other mode while I patch that.
okay thanks!
I found the error. One line missing in zannihilateNoPop:
I should have put the line
assert(loadfile("EF_Bin\\achievements.dll"))();
Anyway, thanks for reporting. I have patched the bug.
I have the same issue with him playing skirmishes whatever the win condition is but mine always start with the game frozen, black spot on the map where the player's bases are located. My simple solution for it is to pause then resume the game but if I'm playing quick start mode the resources were at default not high resources.
I have uploaded a corrected version of the combiner. So please download again the file if you have downloaded it before 22-12-20 2pm GMT+1
I'm a non stream user. I have installed both of your NHC mods and then downloaded & installed the EF mod which is (1.93 GB). I did it all the way you gave instructions to run the Combiner Mod.
But after running the Combiner Mod, its showing $19010000 No Range in the Army Sections of Soviet and the game crashes before the skirmish starts. Please I need your help to fix this problem, I am really excited to play your combine mod
Sorry, This combiner will only work with the steam version of EF.
Ok :(
Just wondering which version of coh to use on steam? The original or the legacy edition?
I use what you call "The original", which is the new steam version. I have never tested on the legacy version but it should work.
how is it i play against zombies?
Choose the 2 player map called [NHC] Zombie Survival
bro in zombies there is a E-50 and E-100 how do I get one of those in skirmish????
Big fan since 2014. Can't believe you updated it after all these years. Glad to say I'm gonna rack up some more hours playing with this.
Its telling me "game is not being run as a known COH product try again launching from Steam"
Read the instructions in the description or README file -_-
If you have the error message "Game is not being run as a known company of heroes product. try again by launching from steam" :
It may be because you have an antivirus that prevent the bat files to run the command "RelicCOH.exe -mod NHCToV -dev".
To go around that, make sure the mod was installed in the right folder, on the launching options from steam,
In library > on the left menu of your game list, right-click on company of heroes > property > general > define launching option you can add the command
-mod NHCToV -dev
or
-mod Combiner_Beta -dev for the combiner
This would run the mod. You would have to remove that command for running other mods.
Hi i have EF 2.5.0.0 verision is it compactabile with this NHC ?
Note although i am a non- steam user i got acess to 2.5.0.0 version can i use with it ?
Maybe
how can you get EF 2.5?
Can you tell me how to get without steam?
That worked Thanks!
Is there a chance that you will make a combiner for the far east mod as well?
No
Love the Mod, but the AI seems a bit to easy. Also please add it to steam would be awesome :D. Great job with the mod!
Love to see this mod is still alive. I ran into two small, separate problems, on the combiner version.
1- Whenever I start a match with a british AI on any side I get a fatal AI error at the very start and no AI player will do anything if I unpause.
2- I can't activate the panther battlegroup with the Panzer Elite, and so I can't produce the Tiger Ace for their faction, either the button is covered by the medic on the HQ, or the button has been removed altogether.
Install the latest patch that fix that and read the instructions

Love your Mod give a lot of playability to the game. But when I play offline, I enabled or disabled the reward units it won't work or show. Do the reward units only work in online mode?
Its gonna work.. when the like button is green it means its on.. or try to reinstall the mod.. This mod works with my CoH TOV 2.602..
Hey.. are you planning to add the E-100 tank?
It is already in the Easter eggs
Awesome.. thank you man! Love this mod! Ive seen that the maus is a little bit smaller.. it is the same size with the king tiger.. when I play WOT, maus is way more bigger than the king tiger.. can you adjust the size of the maus to even more bigger?

Hey, stop sending that, I want to give you a hand, when you open the Eastern Front mod through the launcher can you play both factions or do they appear in pink? Do they even open?
pink color means that the files for the soviet are missing. I guess you did not install everything correctly (NHCmod+Combiner+EF from steam). Check the filepath.
Please, if possible you can help me, I did it all over again as you say, installed eastern Front Mod, NHCmod, Combiner etc... deleted everything and put them all in the same path. The game starts and after the pause, the Soviets and Osther Germans turn pink, just the two of them... as I said before, I did everything you said... I'm using eastern Front mod 2300 there is a problem... yes there is how you help me using AnyDesk, then you would see this for me, would you?... my contact is: face or insta...

hug, always be strong and stay in peace!!! I really like your Mod NHCmod... and I would like to be able to play with the combiner... for now I'm only playing the NHCmod v2.700f normally...
You should install EF through steam

After playing the mod all of my programs sound is super low and I can't find a fix it was fine when I played vanilla COH I never had this problem but now after restarting my pc and everything youtube and everything sounds weird and by weird I mean music and everything sounds normal but voices like in cod MW3 sound low to the point I can barely hear them
That sounds like an hardware issue where high frequencies died. It doesn't come from my mod.
