Royal marines not available

So after I updated to the newest version with the Ostheer, the royal marines are no longer available in the reward section. All the other reward units are in the list, except this one. Anyone else having this problem?

Re: Royal marines not available

it's not a bug it's a feature  ;)

no we decided to remove the whole faction because it was unbalanced, lame and dosnt realy fit as a reward for the old brits
thats why nobody can select RMC^^

Ah man.  :-[ I guess, I was the only one using it then.. Vanilla Brits are so slow.

Still, thanks for the quick reply!

I thought the same.

Shame we're stuck with the slow-paced British taco truck army.

Re: Royal marines not available

I have wrote this in many other places and I'll say it here as well:

The real reason of removing RMC is because we will discuss about what we are going to do with it. The removal might be final, but that depends on what our players want. I'll make an announcement later, to ask the community about their feedback about this matter. We have two choices, either we make them a proper faction so they can be balanced properly(and use a normal HQ building instead of the HQ truck) or we just remove them.

    [*]Removing will be the easiest part however, we know people liked them and since we have already released them several patches ago, it would feel odd... however you could say the same thing about supporting a new Brit faction for EF.
    [*]Keeping them as it won't really help to balance, because they have inherent flaws that we cannot fix until we split them. That's why we are making this choice. Balancing a "reward" faction is not more or less difficult than balancing a "real" faction. Besides this benefits most to coders because we will have a cleaner place to work XD.

So, it is not as if they are permanently gone from EF, at least not now.

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

not sure what to make of this, my friend although not a big gamer, loves playing the british and i can imagine him either going back to 1.8 or forgetting EF altogether

Re: Royal marines not available

Make a new faction sounds nice too! Looking forward for any additional factions for the Axis (like Japan or other than Germans) and Allied.
