-----------------------------------Installation----------------------------------
1)First of all, if you have previous NHCmod version, delete the folder \Company of Heroes\NHC
and all its contains

!Never delete the \Company of Heroes\Engine\Locale or you'll be in big troubles!!!!

You will have to delete the files:
- NHC.English.ucs from \Company of Heroes\Engine\Locale\Engligh
- NHC.French.ucs from \Company of Heroes\Engine\Locale\French

I will try to simplify this procedure for the next releases.

2)Extract all files in your \THQ\Company of Heroes directory.

3)I made a .bat file, so you dont have to create a shortcut with the command line
"[D:\Program Files]\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -modname NHC -dev
(but if you want, you can do it)
Just click on the NHCmod.BAT file to play the mod.

-------------------------------------ChangeLog----------------------------------
v1.6
This is a 'lite' version without skin. The main purpose of this version was to balance the mod. But I did not have
the time to do everything. (Adding a new feature cost me from 5 minutes to 4 hours!)

Special note on 'How to stop Powell?':
Many axis players complaint me on the fact they could not stop Powell. So here are some ways to stop him:
- 1 HitlerJugend squad can deal with Powell if they are close enough and use their special ability.
- one suicidal squad(Volksgrenadier) + 1 sniper can deal with Powell. (The sniper fire on Powell, when he fight against the squad)
- 1 puma can easily kill Powell (or any infantry squad)
- 2 flammenwerfer Team can burn Powell.
- any heavy tank can beat Powell.
- one Panzerschreck shot can kill Powell (if it hit Powell of course).

If you still can't kill Powell, you really are a sucker....(shame on you)

Note on 'why the Tiger Ace is in the Sturm armory while the standard Tiger is in the Panzer Command?'
I agree it was quite stupid, but I didn't want to have them in the same building because they have the same icon...
(It is the same explanation for the Stug and the StuH, except the fact that the AI don't want to build to Stug anymore
if he can build the StuH in the same building) Anyway,
The Tiger ace costs now more than the standard one and requires the Panzer Command

New unit: Flammenwerfer Team
It is a team of 3 flamethrowers extremely effective against infantry at short range. I had to create them
because too many people wanted something to counter Powell. They may be built in the Wehrmacht Quarters
but require the Escalate to Skirmish Phase. Only 3 squads available.

- locale folder moved to avoid conflict with other mods.
- other languages supported. (Chinese, Czech, English, german, Italian, Korean, Polish,....)
- dead bodies stay on the battlefield. (Only full bodies stay on the battlefield, an exploded soldier
will disappear, soldiers killed by sniper also disappear)
- Triage center can now be built out of command territory.
- german bunkers have a supplementary upgrade that allow to heal nearby troops.
(Aid Station upgrade required first)
- panzerschreck, panzerfaust, bazzoka,sticky bomb and recoilless rifle damage increased.
- Change the wire cutter ability so that it is already researched for both side.
- so, the upgrade for wire cutter in allied HQ does not exist anymore.
(seriously, an engineer or a pioneer who come on the battlefield without his wirecutter is not serious)
- Sherman Calliope Barrage ability recharge timer changed to 40 seconds.
- all population requirement changed to be more realistic.
in facts: sniper cost 1, tank cost 4 or 5, and howitzer, AT88',nebelwerfer cost 0 (just the guys who use them cost in pop).
- regular Tiger cost reduced to 780 manpower and 150 fuel.
- Tiger ace cost increased to 920 manpower, 140 fuel and 70 ammo. (Panzer Command required)
- Tiger ace have a normal line of sight.
- Hitler-Jugend healthpoint reduced.
- Powell now needs 60 seconds to be created and the Weapons Support Center and the Barrack are required.
- Powell is less effective against snipers.
- Powell can be upgraded with a thomson which is better at close range but useless at long range.
- fixed the axis supply truck driver.
- deleted the panzerfaust from the axis supply truck. (It was too weird)
- reduced the scouts line of sight. (not too much, they still see far enough)
- max scouts= 3 (because, the AI build too much of them)
- flakvierling has an icon.
- The Airbone company can call snipers on the battlefield. (Paratrooper upgrade required)

v1.5

New Units
- the Supply truck: Gives some manpower, fuel and ammunition.
It is very useful because it can also produce weapons like thomson, BAR, M9Bazooka for the allies
and mp44,mg42,panzerfaust,panzerschreck for the axis side. The german supply truck can also reinforce
troops but it's slower and gives less suplly than the allies one.
it can be produced for the allies: in the Logistic Support
and for the axis: in the Sturm Armory

- the Hilter-Jugend squad: the Hitler Jugend was an organisation which indoctrinated young children whith
the nazi's ideology. Thereby, when they were old enough, lots of these young boys (and girls) fought against the allies.
They can be produced with the 'Zeal' upgrade from the propaganda tactics. They are less stronger than regular troops, can't be reinforced, and have random weapons.
But they don't cost too much. They have the same special ability as the paratroopers. You can't have more than 6 squads.

Allies
- You can build up to 2 M26 Pershing, but with the armored company you can call
as many Pershing as you want with the Pershing upgrade.
- max scouts= 10
- Howitzers can move.
- Powell has less Hitpoint, but becomes better with veterancy.
- The M4 'Crocodile' Sherman can have a machine gun upgrade like the standard one.
- Rangers can use stickbomb.

- Infantry company has an upgrade which reduce all infantry cost and reduce the mines cost.
- Airbone company already had planes, but it now costs less to call them.
- Armored company has upgrades which reduces tank fuel cost.
- changed veterancy effect to all infantry.

The blitzkrieg ability lasts longer.
- The propaganda tactic have upgrades which allow to have Hilter-Jugend and reduced heavy tank fuel cost.

- base population set to 80 (instead 30)
- a new skin for the german grenadiers.

I can't remember the other minor changes. Except the fact that I extracted the old barbed wire, sandbags, so you
should be able to delete them if you have the 1.7 patch.

---------------------------------LEGAL---------------------------------------------
I dont own any CoH or THQ stuff it's the game developpers property
I am not responsable if with this mod you corrupt the game, or have some troubles.
for suggestions or bugs, you can contact me. NOT for rants, or your troubles.
You can distribute, modify, include, my mod. I dont mind.

-----------------------------NOTES ON TESTING--------------------------------------
I never tested this mod on any other version of CoH than mine. I have the 1.4 french version of the game
but i think it should work on English version.
Peoples who played my 1.0 and 1.5 versions said that it worked fine on English version.
This mod was not intended to be used with other mod, skin or modifications, you can always do it, of course,
but I don't guarantee that it will work. (I didn't have time to test compatibility)
