Back to Basics is a full conversion mod for Company of Heroes and its expansions. The aim of the mod is to create an environment that respects the nature of the original Company of Heroes gameplay, while enhancing its core features that put focus on tactics, proper decision making, and player skill. Along with new units, abilities, upgrades, and command trees, the mod features an entirely new weapon damage model and hitpoint dynamics, as well as brand new gameplay mechanics. Back to Basics AI is proudly unique and advanced. All AI systems have been worked on and improved, to the point of creating a completely new AI battle experience. The result is an AI opponent that can be challenging and unpredictable, while also being both fair and enjoyable to play against.
