Edited version of EECH FAQ written by me Fallon
-fallonken@hotmail.com for SimHq.com (simHq had all sorts of HTML
added in it that gameFaqs and Neoseeker do not allow).

**note there are links to forum postings on www.simhq.com where
information was gathered and or shared by various folks .However
much of this information was gathered through on and off after work
playing of EECH.

**Intro**

Since nobody had written a FAQ for EECH at GameFAQs and I was
getting tired of people asking the same questions over and over
in forums I frequent I thought I would write a guide.Since GameFaqs
has been helpful in the past I thought I would contribute for once
enjoy.

Since V2.1 several other websites have asked to host this FAQ
sites with permission to post this FAQ are listed at the bottom
of this FAQ.I also changed a few things and refer to this function
and that function in the game rather than a specific button. I'm not
about to make the lives of any pirates easier buy EECH in UK its
only œ5(UK) and well worth it US has been seen at about $20(US)
still worth it.

**Note I am from England so I spell things the English way eg
Meter = metre
color = colour
honor = honour
etc

Section #2

System requirements

from the box - minimum system specifications

Desktop PC , windows95 or 98
Intel Pentium 266 MHz or K6-300 64mb memory
Direct X graphics card 4mb memory onboard
x6 CDROM windows compatible mouse
windows compatible keyboard
300mb HDD space

from the box Recommended spec

333mhz CPU 128mb ram D3D card with 8mb vram
300mb HDD space
x12 CDROM
Joystick

I'd recommend Geforce 2 with 256mb ram and a5 least 500mhz CPU as the
min and recommended specs do not allow you to see the full glory of the
game and require masses of HDD swap and stutter Windows ME works fine
too though slightly slower than a system with win98SE

If you are running a low spec machine EECH will benefit most from a
better video card.

OTT spec

P4 2ghz / AMD 1800XP
512mb ram
Geforce 2/3 graphics

You can get up to 1600x1200 resolutions with this kind of spec but the
text on the MFDs maybe a little too small to read unless you have a
massive monitor.Over 1600x1200 many users have reported problems
with CTD.

IF you have a beefy system and you are having poor frame rates turn
off FSAA and use the no TnL switch.

Section#3

Versions

(main ones and ones you can get as there are many versions
which would take me years to compile if I listed them here)

v1.02 UK and European version

V1.41C
for full details:
http://www.razorworks.com/enemyengaged/chpatch/index.html


Patches after this were exe based which meant you just changed
your executable in your EECH directory

V1.46X X for experimental final razorworks patch to date

for details:
http://www.razorworks.com/enemyengaged/chxpatch/index.html

3rd party mods

VFriday 13th the so you think your a tough guy eh? version
which incorporated real SAM ranges which meant you'd get incoming
missile warnings from 50km+ from carriers and other ships.An example
is Taiwan or Lebanon , you would be in the moutains somewhere and
get incomming missile warnings from ships miles away , whereas in
reality the terrain clutter would hide your presence comanche
was essential as its stealth allowed you to stay alive more than
a few seconds.

V1.50BC discontinued patched by Starshoy which had modified units
and unit behaviour most memorable being super aggressive units
harder ships and artillery improvements.

V1.51B/C

Current version available from:
