Oh my, Dawn of war

Postby Jinky » Thu Sep 30, 2004 6:48 pm

So i just had the ass beating of a lifetime. Thought i would try out the eldar forces and the choas marines decided to just pound on me. I had so many mine fields and turrets setup that my defenses held for awhile. Then they unleashed the daemon and....... lets just say he spanked the ass of my whole army.

I put it on easy mode and i walked through the enemy with 0 challenge, put it on normal and its a struggle to survive for 30 minutes :(

lol.. I got my ass handed to me in a 4v1v1 online the other day because they started the game without anyone changing teams. I was a little miffed to say the least.

The only thing i dont like about the game is the amount of space given to build on some of these maps. Main area you start with is a bit small and when i did a team vs team skirmish my alies came to build on my relics :( But they did save my arse by defending my base hehe.

That sounds like why I stopped playing the table-top version. Chaos is ridiculously overpowered, and that is very lame.

I think the game is very balanced, Murg. Some are a little quicker to build than others though.

Best vs Chaos is the space marines. Didnt know it at the time but you can upgrade weapons to daemon killers to help bring down the nasty lil buggers. Dunno how the other races would do against it though.

It's actually very balanced, I can compare W40K to Starcraft actually... Marines and Chaos Marines are similar to Terrans, Eldar to Protoss, and Orks to Zergs. It all matters on your build order and upgrades. The right time to unleash a certain unit, vehicles, etc.

Morale level believe it or not, is really important in this game, Eldar has some of the most longest ranged infantry in the game that can cripple morale faster than anyone, use that to your advantage. Once you unleash a good force with those Fire Prisms and the Avatar, kiss your butt good bye.

Whats the best squads to tie leaders to for the eldars? I wasnt to impressed with the slow fire rate of the rangers. The range and damage is nice but the slow rate of fire hurts.

I put together awesome squads with the space marines and with the morale level so high they troops fight like a well oiled machine. Takes alot to take a squad down.

if you don't know how to play a side and get wooped playing them, is reason to exlaim it is unbalanced.

practice and eventually you'll be kickin ass, or look the game up at google here.
and ask for help on making squads.

It's like in SC, I could ass as a zerg or terran but took me a while to get used to protoss, and eventually I figured out how to have 3x more troops as protoss :D

so just play the game on easy if there is that option until you get it.

HAHAH, so i tried the orcs out and here comes another bloodthirster crushing every orc i had. While sitting there in awe i decided to zoom in and check him out. The bloodthirster is just plain nasty. He was using his axe to cut my lil orcs in half and some he would pick up and squeeze to death. He then decided to pick one up and bite his head off :(
