Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War

[Omega_Destroyer]

I find that Flash Gitz make the game almost too easy.

I haven't been playing it very much since I got my 360, so you'll most likely beat me to it Titan.

Try on Hard. Or against a human. And the Orkz work way better if you don't re-enforce squads except the hard-capped ones.

Well now that the forum is back.... but it is only one race. We'll see.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Sadly, the game gets old after awhile. After 5 races, it's hard to get excited about finishing the rest.

After 5 races, it's hard to get excited about finishing the rest.

Try after the first one. If it wasn't for the forum being down and me having the shortest exam period compared to everyone i doubt i would have gotten passed 3 races (and even so only the SM weren't on Easy, and now the Orkz).

[Campaigner]

Yeah, campaign gets so boring after completing it with 4-5 races. Only got Eldar left myself but it's too boring now....

But have you guys played some multiplayer? Played against an internet friend 8 matches, won the first 2 and lost horribly the other 6....I think that Tau is overpowered (except for Necrons) though.

[Omega_Destroyer]

I haven't tried any multiplayer. My wireless connection is too inconsistent to complete a game with and dial-up is just as sketchy.

My last Ork save is corrupted... and it look like it's because i was out of room on the damn computer. And of course i had to delete the previous save before checking...

Well i'm definatly not finishing it again. I need an Ork save, PM me if you have one.

Tau are extra shooty, so your strat is to always get close to all his shooters. Any other approach and you're dead.

I got an Orc save. What do you offer for it?

Heh, hop on Msn and you'll get it :p

I won't put your head on me pointy stick! Now if only i could remember what my hotmail account was. Screw it, i'll just make a new one. BTW, if you zip them 6 races only take about 800kb.

[ThunderTitan]

Finaly found a trainer and cheated my way to the last victory screen. I still can't belive i lost my Hard settings Ork save...

In case you care:


ORKZ




SPACE MARINES




TAU




NECRONS




ELDAR




CHAOS




IMPERIAL GUARD

[Omega_Destroyer]

I don't need to read them to know what they say.

"Even though *opponent* put up a good fight, *your forces* were more powerful. Then *your forces* did something to the remanents of *opponent's* army."

[ThunderTitan]

Read the Ork ones, Gorgutz get new names with each, the Tau one being my fav.

Oh, and Taldeer is actualy captured alive in one of them.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Yeah, I remember Taldeer being captured, but not by who.

Of all of the battle summaries, I say the Necrons are the worse. "It was a fierce fight but Necrons vaporized everything and marched on."

[Campaigner]

Thanks TT, there were some battle histories I didn't have since I took too long so the A.I:s defeated eachother.

If you read everything (as I just did), you'll learn that NO race is goodaligned. Every single race kills alot more then they need and even the previously thought good aligned Eldar burned the dead Space Marines in North Vandea so as to destroy part of their geneseed which will weaken future Space Marines.

Now all we need is a little tournament to see whos best How's the broadband development going in eastern europe?

What do you want, only one of them can speak...

How's the broadband development going in eastern europe?

Way better then game sales, i'll tell you that.

f you read everything (as I just did), you'll learn that NO race is goodaligned.

Well those summaries were all made from the Imperiums POV... but the Eldar were never good aligned, for them their race comes before all, and they'll do anyhting to preserve it, at least until such time as they no longer go to a chaos deity when they die. The Tau are the most goodish guys, as they'll give you the most chances to join them before killing you. But that's the beauty of WH, there are no overall good factions...

LOL!

Here in Sweden in almost every city you can get 8/1 ADSL which is the best lowstandard connection for 29.45 Euro/month (I pay 24.17 since my ISP and stationary phone company are the same. What's the equivalent in the east?

The voice in the battlereports may be human, but considering the fanacity of the humans in Warhammer I never considered it to be an imperium guy since the battlereports would be warped and vinkled to portray the imperium in the best possible light. But they're good

Now we get to opinions when we say that you're not goodaligned if you prioritize your own race in front of others....well, most of us like our own people best and care more for them then others, and I'm no exception. Feels like the most natural thing in the world to me.

The Tau may look like the most goodaligned of all the races, but they are still fanatics like the others. Just like america of today, they impose their beliefs on everybody else since they are convinced that they are right.
A perfect example is the reeducation camp that's mentioned in the battlereport of Victory Bay.

[Omega_Destroyer]

What would the Sweedish be Campaigner?

[ThunderTitan]

What's the equivalent in the east?

10 euros for 128kps i guess.

Not necessarly, the Imperium does have more then one organization in it, and not all are such zealots with words. But i'm pretty sure that GW's policy is that almost all fluff material is from the imperiums PoV.

They do have an excuse in that no Tau can resist an Ethereals commands. But yeah, they're fanatics.

A perfect example is the reeducation camp that's mentioned in the battlereport of Victory Bay.

Well that depends on what goes on in that reeducation camp. Remember that most humans are religious fanatics...

wh4k:dow is some rts, right? is it like wc3?

[Omega_Destroyer]

It's an rts, but it's not like Warcraft 3 at all. Units come in squads, and some are customizable. You have officer units that can be attached to squads for benefits. You get commanders, who are similar to the heroes in Warcraft 3, but are much more powerful and useful in a fight. They can also be upgraded with a wide variety of equipment. One of the main differences between WH40k and other rts games is that you only have 2 types of resources: energy and requisition. Energy is pretty self-explanatory, being generated by power plants and what not. Requisition is different because you have to capture and hold strategic points to get more of it. More requisition, more units. Typically, only infantry can capture and hold points. Commanders by themselves can not. [/img]
