Cross of Iron is a Company of Heroes (CoH) mod that’s main aim is to balance the four factions in the game and their respective doctrines.
Its secondary aim is that of historical accuracy, but without making severe compromises in gameplay.
One of the main features of this mod is that it intends to do the above without making major gameplay changes to the original CoH experience, so no one-hit-kill AT shots or huge-range Howitzers.
A very important feature of Cross of Iron is tailoring the units, abilities and upgrades to be more specific for each Army Doctrine, balancing cons with pros, while also adding some new build options.
As examples, the fearsome Knight’s Cross Holders are now available only to the Wehrmacht Terror Doctrine in order to give them a better late-game infantry unit and more incentive to play with, while the Panther needs an extra 'phase' in order to unlock it and the US receive an AT Bazooka Squad to better counter Axis armour.
Another important feature would be the usage of High-Quality community skins that better differentiate one 'army' from the other as well as make the game more immersive, with different camos and accessories. These HQ skins carry on to the SP Campaigns as well.

G'day guys.
LethalDosage, the lead developer of Cross of Iron here.
There's been a long silence from us Devs around these parts. In that silence many of you have wondered if the mod's dead, and i think it's about time i made it official.
Cross of Iron is dead.
Sadly work stopped about two years ago due to unresolvable crashes, frustratingly poor AI (and lacking the talent to rewrite script and improve it), CoH's transfer to Steam, and the lack of free time stemming from real life distractions.
Everyone here on the CoI dev team has moved onto other projects, and i've been forced to not only move away from CoH 1 modding, but cut back on gaming in general.
I myself in particular have poured years of constant work into this mod, from it's humble beginnings as a balance and bug-fix mod, to what it currently is. It has truly been a pleasure developing this mod and bringing it to all the CoH players who've tried it and loved it, and i thank you all for sticking with my mod and following it to this quiet end.
Thank you all, and good night.

Yes! I agree! Some years ago, when I even found out that COH can be modded anyhow, this was the first mod I have successfully started and played on and on! I realise the cross of iron mod almost like an official add-on of the game, how proffesional it seems to me those days. So please, bring us some bigger and deeper COI mod.... :-)
Someone plz bring this back to life
Can i use cheatmod on with this mod?
Hi, I 'm new to this but I wanted to know to which version is the mod that I have the company of heroes version 1.71.0 . No if more patches or something
you do not die this mod! continue to work on it.
Okay so...Everytime I try to download any of the files, they just become DLL files and cannot be opened with WinRar or anything. This problems also applies on other CoH mods.
Suggestions?
You have to put the files into a specific folder. I'd imagine the instructions are included you should probably take a look at.
I remember this mod was fun back in the day. Although playing against ai was kinda derpy cause all the would do is send for at guns and rarely produce tanks (although it is still the case with 90% of CoH mods it appears as though blitzkrieg has fixed it) I kinda wish this mod was still in development I seem to remember having a lot of fun.
Hi guys. I have a problem. When I chose a Carentan Counterstrike the game is loading to half and the error show. Sorry for bad english.
Campaign mode hasn't been supported for the last few versions. Same as saved games, they are both functions that broke somewhere about the time when Tales of Valor was released. As far as i know, no mods that were in development from that time ever fixed either issue.
