But when you get attacked by an enemy you're already got your base covering the entire map and it's even easier to defend and demolish everything.
>>323416317
Doesn't work vs Orks, buildings can eventually kill even the Necron Lord, assuming you're playing on Hard which, hilariously enough, only removes any HP boosts/penalties from you and your enemies.

"If you will not serve in combat, then you will serve on the firing line!"
I can still hear it perfectly in my head to this day
then you obviously haven't felt how good it is to be ready to unleash 7 barrels of hell. truly, the BEHNBLEDE superheavy tank is the supreme king of the battlefield.
in all seriousness though. the best feeling on DOW 1 was when you were guardsmen, and you were so outgunned and outmanoeuvred, but then you manage to make a baneblade, but its stuck near your infantry producing place, so you blow it to smithereens, then roll that baby into chaos base and 5 shot their HQ

>enemy gets a long ass speech and some flashy war assembly
>battle starts with enemy covering 3/4 of the map
>your stronghold gets attacked
>you just start with you HQ and some builders
>enemy units just attack move straight to your base
also there was that retarded ass quest where you start with loads of units but no buildings because "supplies are hard to deliver to the map because the road is bullshitty" when most buildings are either warped into existence or just dropped from the sky anyway.
Then in the Necron stronghold apparently your building droppers can penetrate through the caves no problem.
>>323423293
>>your stronghold gets attacked
The question is, how you even get yourself in that position?
>>323423363
You have to actively try given how stupid the a.i is.

>>323423647
Keep firing, keep firing!
If DoW3 comes out and hasn't gone back to the system in DoW1 and have a map conquest like DC then its going to flop
....Right?
>>323423363
I was playing Tau and I ignored the Eldar because I was busy attacking Orks, Chaos and Necrons and I figured since the others have those OP strongholds I would also have an OP stronghold especially since my base also has a 10 defense.
> all the heresy of that fucking thread
>>323423293
That mission where you can't make any buildings is absolutely bullshit when playing as Chaos on hard. You're given such a pathetic set of troops and it's especially bad compared to some of the other factions. I don't think it's actually possible to beat Hyperion Peaks on hard with Chaos.
>>323424007
That mission is a bitch, you really need to rush and squash at least one Ork base, or they'll start churning the troops faster than you can deal with them. Doesn't help that Chaos Preds are shit vs. tech without the upgrade - which you can't research since you have no base.
>>323424007
I once looked up a walkthrough for this mission when playing Chaos and it said:Not possible
>>323424183
And you get 3 or 4 cultist squads. They fold almost as fast as the defilers when going up against a killa kan.
>>323424007
That was the first and only mission I lost as Chaos. It was complete bullshit getting all of those cultists and being expected to win.
>>323424286
This mission is fun as IG though, because you get TWO BANEBLADES
THAT'S TWENTY TWO BARRELS OF HELL
TWENTY
TWO
I also enjoyed it as Tau, Hammerheads shoot any tech before it even comes into firing range (except for looted Lemans, those have huge range) and Skyrays tear up infantry.

"One, or a thousand, I will kill them all!"
Edgy as the Vindicare Assassin was, it fits the universe well.
>>323415883
I played the exact same way, the moment a province of mine got attacked they got shitfucked by 3-4 bases instantly dumping the strongest units at them.
It was especially great with orkz, when you could get the free boyz and just rally point queue them forever. Finally felt orky enough.
Was a shame that past 3 or 4 bases they would stop saving your buildings.
>>323421102
Daemon princes are pretty shit in campaign, especially in Soulstorm, where you can still easily fend off one that rushes your base within the first minute or so.

>>323424007
>>323424263
It's possible, you can and should cheese this by jumping your BThirster into one base and dumping everything else into the second. BT focuses the big buildings first and absolutely nothing else, even if he dies afterwards, it's not a problem as your combined force should clear out the second settlement, leaving the Orks with only one production area. If you can't keep your Defilers alive, just set them to ranged, they have decent artillery damage.
It's not a bad idea to capture the critical location in the middle of the valley for extra vision and leaving anyone unfit for building/vehicle bashing there to keep the enemy busy. All that matters is destroying the means of production.
Still, if you fuck up and don't do this quickly, you will get swarmed by Trukks/Killa Kanz and Sluggas all day. Having a pimped out Honour Guard and Eliphas helps (just skip the Daemon Prince "upgrade" as it's a downgrade in almost any aspect, in some cases even including health as some races are better at fighting Daemon type armour). I honestly think this is the most fun extra mission and having Orks keep it by default was a stroke of brilliance as it's extremely fluffy.

I remember seeing some pro guy post his replays in relic forums, he went 22-0 as Necrons in DC1.2.
Good times, pity DoW2 turned out the way it did. Here's hoping DoW3 will take the best out of both games and resemble Total War in the least. I'd kill for it to be like DC/SS but I know that's not possible.

There's the Inquisition series, Ravenor and Eisenhorn. There's the Word Bearer, Night Lord, and Iron Warrior books, unless you meant you don't want anything to do with any of the space marines. I think there was a series involving a mechanicus explorator fleet, but I haven't read it yet so I can't say whether it's any good or not. Titanicus if you want a glimpse into the titan legions. Aside from a couple of HH books that don't focus on the legions, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Absolutely. DoW 2 might not have been the best, but at least it brought Noise Marines back into relevance as DJs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsGRsDe3iRwI still prefer the old rock and roll look though
BEHOLD, THE FIERY DESTROYER OF WORLDS!
I bought DoW2 in the Steam sale recently, as at the time of release my PC was too weak to play it and I never got around to improving it until I got a new laptop. It's alright, I see why some people hate it and some people love it. I think it's a lot less 'casual' in the sense that you're always doing something and it's a lot more stressful. You'd get moments like that in DoW1 but it wasn't constant all the way through the match.
Here's hoping that DoW3 does happen.Even if it was just the DoW2 engine with fuckhuge armies and actual open maps again I'd be happy. Larger scale engagements would be fucking mint.
DoW3 might happen though, they recently released DLC for 1 and 2 that included the extra gore and gore animation DLC didn't they? Plus Relic are owned by Sega now and Sega have the rights to Warhammer Fantasy RTS games with Creative Assembly making those, so Games Workshop renewing Relic's license with Sega isn't at all far fetched.
The host is assembled, and we fully commit ourselves to the battle.

Eternal Crusade looks pretty ok actually, combat wise at least.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkxtnIxqdKc
>>323430014
Really? To me, it just looks like Space Marine's multiplayer, but more janky and with less pretty graphics.
>>323429905
It's pretty fun for what it is. Like some anons told me once, it's more of an ARPG combined with a tactical squad game
I think DoW3 should be a combination of both Dow1 and 2. The way the SMs worked in DoW2 was perfect, small squads that drop in tactical positions to take out entire armies by themselves. Gunning down large mobs of orks never felt so good. But at the same time keep the other factions that need huge armies and actual production the same as in the first game
>>323429975
Being Aspect Warriors is one of the ways the Eldar spend their free time, as free time is all they have.
The Eldar live in pretty much post scarcity society, where individuals are free to live their lives how they see fit, within the confines of the path system of course.
For an Eldar, being an Aspect Warrior is like a "professional" hobby that they are super serious about. It also allows them to channel the destructive, and violent urges all eldar have, in a controlled, and useful way.
The Guardians on the other hand, are Eldar who take up arms when needed, despite their main thing being something else, like baking for example, at the moment.
>>323429924
>khorne flakes

>>323430014
At least we get TW: Warhammer.
Maybe we'll get a 40k version if it sells well.
>>323430007
Compared to everything else they are very generic sci fi. Even Space Marines get a pass because theyre a bunch of mad zealots, its a quirk. Their mythology is neat, all the mythologies are neat, but the Eldar themselves are very vanilla, the Tau are easily the most lame of all the races though, their saving grace is their neat armour designs.
>>323430192
Space Marine multiplayer was fantastic though.
Also, it actually has more stuff in it than Spesh Muhreen multiplayer had already.
Jankiness and graphix will probably get fixed in time, as the game is still in early development.
I am pretty happy if we get a Spesh Muhreen multiplayer with bigger maps, more people, vehicles, along with Eldar and the Orks desu.
>>323429924
At least we're still getting Battlefleet Gothic, which looks fucking awesome
>>323430374
i dont get it. tame in what way? imperium is just directly Earth cultures so im confused to how they are not generic sci fi and the super psychics are.
>>323430192

Still won't be able to replace my urge for DoW 3
>>323430374
>Compared to everything else they are very generic sci fi
How in the fuck are the Eldar generic? Their aesthetic style is pretty damn unique, as is their fluff.
>>323430348
40k wouldn't work well with total war gameplay. Total war battles are centered around blocks of soldiers and so on. So it's probably not going to happen. Wargame or world in conflict 40k would be neat as fuck though.

Agreed on all counts there. Only issue I see would be balancing fuckhuge armies and smaller elite armies. It'd be neat to see some of the stuff GW has done with the tabletop game in DoW, like the Imperial Knights. They're halfway between a Dreadnought and a Titan and a full army is only like 6 units on average.

For some reason Dawn of War 2 seemed to have worse German voice acting all around so I switched to English pretty early on.
>>323431915
The Dark Eldar are actually pretty friggin numerous. They outnumber their Craftworld kin with ease, as their population isn't limited by the amount of soulstones available, nor do they shy away from shit like speed growing embryos into adulthood, like the CWE do.
So when the Dark Eldar invade a world, they can indeed, blot out the sun. Though, they usually invade during the dark of the night.
>>323427873
Thats because SS is objectively a better game.
>>323432293

Why did you do this? Why did someone have to remind me?
Im going to lay in bed and turn on the OST until I cry to sleep
The first DoW games had the best animations in RTS ever. They were light and optimized as hell I have no idea why they weren't more popular.
DoW 2 was shit with its no base building tactics crap. I don't care if it was closer to the tabletop. I want to play RTS not tabletop.

Not when he pops it in the middle of an engagement when your armies clash, especially if he drops FO's on your back. Not to mention the passive slow of Chronosphere or whatever that artifact was called.

I don't remember, but isn't that a late-game one? You should probably have armour by that point, and lategame guards are actually pretty tanky for a 15 req unit.

As expected from a Gue'la.
>>323434760
It's a first tier upgrade, passively slows enemies around NL and can freeze them on an active use. Besides, if a Cron lets you back off from a Solar Pulse, he fucked up.

It lets you back off from an engagement or capitalize on an enemy mistake, like overextending and chasing too far. The amount of hurt depends on your current army state and placement.

Yes DoW2 is an RTS
Maybe you should try actually playing the game

>Maybe you should try actually playing the game
Yes, my mistake, I really should try giving it a go sometime.
DoWII is RTT, not RTS
>>323434843
No, I'm serious. Brainwashing entire populations in the name of an ideology which may or may not be the Ethereal's actual endgame is a pretty evil act.
Honestly, Orks are probably the closest faction to "good," funnily enough. No ideologues, just fight. Cuz fight is fun, ya grot.
>>323434979
bait.
>>323435375
>shit crusade gets a Sororitas mod
>its shit, buggy and poorly implemented, with models that look like blow up sexdolls

>>323435358
works for me lol
>>323435358
You can complete Chaos Rising in like 6 hours, just start over m8
>>323435652
Closest to good? Bullfuckingshit. Farsight's Enclave seems to be closest to good.

One of them maxed on Wraithlords for some reason. I will never know what he was thinking.
That 30 support cap on Eldar was fucking ridiculous though.

Yes, killing and burning everything because it's "fun" is much better than peaceful expansion.

>>323435484
Indrid is such a dull caster to listen to.
>>323435652
Humans have a twisted sense of "good"
Reminds of that video where the chimp rips an animals organs out of its back while it beats the living shit out of it

>>323420704
The Sanctioned Psyker is definitely the best one. That laughter, man.
>>323435940
Indrid's the only DoWII caster worth watching, I think. He's clear, concise and to the point. Never really cared for the others.
>>323436039
Are we sure that's where the brain is located in the Tau? I'm not up on my xeno-anatomy.

How exactly, does DoW 2 lack strategy, in comparison to DoW 1?
Does anyone have any good DOW1 multiplayer guides?
I tried getting gud, but I just can't.
>>323436253
Ignore him, he's some guy who finds every DoW thread and tries to turn it into a shitflinging contest by calling DC worse than Dragon Age 2.
DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO!?
>>323435785
Actually, I forgot about Farsight, So you're right there. Sorry, senpai. Though I still stand my ground on the Orks when discussing races as a whole.
>>323435868
Nah, nigga. You don't understand. You're thinking about things in 21st century mindset. In 40k, the real evils are the ideologies leading the races to go to war. Orks do it for fun and are just living life for themselves.

Read up on your dictionary and genre definitions, mate. DoWII is focused on smaller squad management along with heavily micromanaging units and their abilities with no focus on basebuilding, i.e. tactics. DoW1 is focused on a larger scale, managing basebuilding together with producing troops and managing every aspect of the war effort, from telling the builders where to go to entrenching key positions or listening posts.
Please don't link Indrid's casts at me, either. I know who he is. I've been featured in his casts already and play with him regularly.
