DON'T LET THE TAUTIST WIN
>>335410049
This is one of the best strategy games I've ever played. Shits fun as fuck and the matches are short enough that you just want to play one more and one more and one more.
>>335410227
Tau are boring as fuck why are people voting for them?
Don't mind if I do
>>335410452
I feel you bruh
Can't remember the last time i played vidya for hours on end
It's definitely staving off the tired gamer meme im having
>>335410227
>including tau means every single space battle can only take place in one small, tiny little section of the Galaxy
Why is this allowed? Why were tau ever allowed without FTL travel?
>>335410838
im having a lot of fun with campaign and had a lot of fun in mp with orcs, but jeesus its just nofunallowed now that im getting only 700 point matches
i wonder if doing a imp fleet in mp and just getting torpedos on everything works
hoping the game wont die too quick
>WAAHHH NOVA CANNON2STRONK

>>335410838

i'm actually pondering on getting this now
i loved the dawn of war games, will i love this or does it play more like sid meier's pirates + total war or something
>>335411537

>>335410227
Can't vote.
>>335411653
suffer not the shitter to live
So the Nova Cannon how does it actually fucking work and what does the aoe indicator when you target actually represent? 50% of the time it doesn't hit within the circle, I'd understand if the attack can hit anywhere within the circle, but the circle seems to have no purpose.
Tau? We already have a long range fleet in chaos.
What are the tau going to be like gameplaywise?
>>335410452
>>335410838
>>335410049
SO I have been running into this as well just bored as shit because no fun MP games to play. Is this game any good MP. I saw some game-play and I love tactical ship games like this. Should I buy if I just want MP?
And last question. Are the Orks Shit in this or are they fun?
>>335414136
Sneaky I guess.
>>335414305
they are fun but they are slow as rocks and manouver as such
anyone who isnt completely awful at the game will kite you so hard that you cant even fire at them
they are rly strong at brawling tho so they are good if you manage to get a hold of them
Hell, fluff wise the Necrons are OP in space, doubly more so than they are on ground
And I don't even want to think of 'Nids, if Orks are close range shooty, where do Nids fit into it?
How do I git gud in this game and DoW? I suck at strategy games
>>335414305
Hell yes. MP is a blast and matches end surprisingly quick.
There are shitty game modes though, especially against specific races (anything non-cruiser clash as ork against eldar)
>>335414136
The Tau navy specializes on its missiles, basically maneuverable torpedoes.
But they also have ship sized ion cannons and railguns.
Also Mantas.

>>335416735
I really wish there was a play function to watch the battles close up
How do I git gud with low level battles with Imperials in multiplayer?
I heard the campaign was fucking hard
>>335416221
Those tiny plips of slightly wider ships, yes, those are mantas.
They are considered titan-class in firepower.
The big one in the back is a carrier class battleship
The two big ones in the front are also battleship class, but explorers/colonization ships refitted for combat
The medium sized ones are cruisers
And the smaller ones are escorts
Not sure about the big black/grey one in the back, but I guess its a battleship as well.
>>335416860
I think this picture sums up the game right here
>>335416974
and final pic
>>335412534
The circle tells you and your opponent when the nova will explode. The point of impact scatters depending on range.
>>335416927
if you play it as iron man mod then you'll probably lose
sometimes the RNG objectives or target placement will simply fuck you over and there's nothing you can do about it
>>335411595
Give it a pirate, yarrrr.
>>335414305
I played single player skirmish up until launch. Just busted my MP cherry. Holy fuck it's fun.
Some of the mind-games are great fun. Silent running (stealth mode) for example is fucking hilarious when it works. I hid in a cloud and so the Chaos player came to me, I put everything on SR and moved out of the cloud. When he encountered my cruiser much earlier than he expected he went to tactical cogitator (slow-mo mode) and high-energy turned and burned. Straight into my other ships that I stealthed round to flank. I still lost in the end, but felt like a tactical genius for that brief moment.
All these heretics.
It's like you don't understand the Emperor is all that keeps you from being raped by daemons
>>335416896
Go in for broadsides and boardings, but don't forget to force in a ram or two into their sides.
And if you have torpedoes, use them liberally, especially in the start to annoy the shit out of the opponent, forcing them to change their entry route entirely, force a burn which will show what they've got, or best, they eat the salvo and take a matchwinning critical hit, hopefully.
Also, there's no shame in fucking off with a warp if your ship is about to go down and you are at a disadvantage, or if 2v2 and your ally is a complete idiot and not worth dying for.
Losing all of your ships is the worst outcome because no exp gain for the captains, and no progression is fucking awful.

The game looks much better at medium AA settings btw.
>>335410049
how do I get gud on the campaign?
everything is fucked
I'm only on turn 10 and i'ev already lost 20 planets
now any mission I play has some xbox huge enemy fleet wrecking my shit in
i'ev pretty much lost 2 of my sectors
halp
>>335417828
dumb germans
>>335418091
Following the lore, I see.
I don't get it.
I got this game on all high settings, but the cutscenes are jagged and broken on audio.
>>335418195
more like geetin fucked the arse
I lost bth artefact missions and keep getting cucked by elder in assassination missions
Then I have to take 2 turns out because all my ships are fucked and I cant afford to fix em
shits fucked son!
>>335418338
it's a shit game
git a refund
>>335416402
Well maybe I do want to get raped by daemons, beats working on a hiveworld.
>>335418432
The actual missions run smooth as fuck
It's just cutscenes
>>335418364
it's retarded that even in multiplayer destroyed ships carry over to the next, completely unrelated battle with a different opponent.
>>335418364
It's because you don't pray to the Emperor enough.
>>335418437
time for an exterminates
equally, what do exterminatus's so in the campaign? I'ev never failed an exterminates mission, but I can see why exterminates would be good in denying the enemy access to my planets
>>335418364
use SAVE SCUM
>>335410049
Is this game worth getting as a person who doesn't know much W40K lore?
>>335418649
look brah, I prayed to the emperor, I sang to the emperor, I even fucking gave head to the emperor, yet that didn't stop THE PLANET BOMBARDMENT OBJECTIVE APPEARING ON THE WRONG FUCKING SIDE OF THE MAP NOW DID IT?

look guise
srly
I'm trying to protect port maw first as that's where the main port is, and not only do I have to juggle the chaos fags but the fuggin elder as well, who haven't stopped attacking since their initial appearance about 8 turns ago
there's only so many battles I can fight guise
>>335418968
>it's better to force unfluffy things then to just add two sentences to tau lore saying
>Several colonizing ships were swallowed by Warp storms and they lived through the accidental journey because lol nearblanks
>These lost tau may be found elsewhere in the galaxy
Is it really that hard to get tau to the same level of the other races in possible presence? 40k was about taking the given fluff and making stories out of it. Catachan plants (Plants. From 1 specific world.) have more galactic presence than the tau. Think about that for a minute.
>>335419819
Those may have been spread by transport ships or something.
Anyway the TT add-on Armada had the Tau and I don't remember anyone sperging out about that.
do you like necrons?
>>335418736
Yes, it's done in a way that if you have no idea what's going on you can still follow what's happening fairly easily.
Also it's not actually space combat, it's giant boats on a space background.
>>335420458
their technology is the equivalent of a baseball bat wrapped in razor wire, combined with space majik of course.
nekrons are probably the coolest group aside from space wolvesand SQUATS
>>335419809
Have you tried attacking the other factions? You can only get so far by defending.
It's all cool thought, with a little luck they will mount our heads on a spike after they kill us and not before.
>>335419819
Death worlds are often places where the immaterium encroaches on regular space. Its not that hard to imagine the warp wanting to liberally spread the special brand of "fuck you" found on Catachan.
>>335420183
>Those may have been spread by transport ships or something.
They were. They were taken intentionally or accidentally by imperial ships and introduced onto other worlds, which gives you wiggle room to include them in any game anywhere.
Every race and every creature in 40k has the same condition. They can be or show up anywhere for one reason or another, except tau. The good news is, because everything else can be anywhere, that means you can always include tau, because everyone else has a way of reaching them. But it always must be on their turf, because like that lazy friend who always tells you to come over and is never willing to go to you, they don't leave their little empire.
If there was one other race, creature, or anything like the tau, then you could never have a fluff-friendly way of having the two meet. Which just doesn't make sense, because it would be so easy to give tau galactic presence. I mean, shit,
>That Imperial world the tau conquered? The tau took their last ship and used its warp drive and astropaths to expand somewhere beyond tau space.
>>335420771
Dude Ultramar is bigger than the whole Tau "empire"
I have no idea why people like these small flies so much.
>>335420458
that looks way better than actual necron ships
but it doesnt look very necron-y who make things way blockier
>>335419809
keep holding, you will soon have a chance to remove eldar and then orks
>strong
>loyal
>stylish
What are some other words that describe Ultramarines?
>faggots voting for Tau
>not Tyranids
>not Zerg
I hate this shitty game and the shitty fanbase.
>>335424867
Tau are better than stupid bugs
>>335424972
Kill yourself commie homosexual
>>335424867
it doesn't matter, they already decided to put space marines and necrons in the game pretty much. They've said they will try to put in all the factions in the game for more imbalance shenanigans.
>>335410227
Based nid voters
I need them in all the games
>>335410910
Didn't Tau used to have slower FTL travel by 'skimming' the warp, making shorter, shallower jumps using their naturally small warp presence to avoid daemons instead of diving straight in like Imperials and orks do.
>>335425379
Source on Necrons? Cause I fucking want Necrons or Tyranids.
How the fuck do Orks navigate Warp without getting swarmed by Daemons?
>>335426457
Orks have fast ships
>>335426242
There's a hint of the necrons somewhere towards the end of the campaign.
>>335426457
Weirdboyz. Or they fight the daemons to pass the time
What's the other fleet coming besides space marines?
The ones that early adopters get for free?
>>335426935
Isn't it Necrons?
>>335410227
I'd rather have Necrons over 'Nids but I suppose I'll have to vote 'Nids to stop the Tau.
>>335410634
because they're the "good guys"
their clean aethstetic in the 40k universe alone goes a long way creating that image.

Tau ships are ugly as fuck though.
FACT: Samus Aran is a lost primarch
>>335430450
No, they actually treat them fairly well. A lot of Imperial worlds that feel abandoned readily join up with the Tau. They exchange tech with them and everything.

Dunno what I can say against shit taste.

Is there a campaign for all the factions or is it like one long campaign ?
>>335434008
Only Imperial Navy campaign.
>>335434196
Well that's lame, is there at least some kind of a galactic conguest
>>335434338
Reverse galactic conquest. You control the whole map at the beginning but you have to try to keep shit from hitting the fan with Chaos/Orkz incursions.
>>335434637
Yeah but it's still just the Imperial Navy? The other races are restricted to skrimish and multiplayer?
>>335434338
The campaign is everyone else is making a big mess in the Gothic sector and it's up to you to get your teeth kicked in in the hopes of holding the pieces together long enough to avoid a total loss.
Seeing that you canonically lost most of the missions and indeed the war, combined with the medium AI being better than most actual players, it's not exactly and easy experience.
If you want to play the other races go for multiplayer/skirmish.
>>335434785
Currently yes. The campaign has a story with cutscenes and all that so Tindalos probably couldn't crank out 1 per faction.
>>335434960
That's beautiful. It's in the spirit of the 40k universe. You're desperately trying to hold together a dying empire assailed on all sides and getting raped by the worst the universe has to offer. Hearing that warms my little heart.
This would have been perfect for the tf2 heavy laugh edit with the space marine gif.
post RAMMING SPEED
>>335436675
>Ramming Orkz
>As chaos
You absolute madman.
>>335426029
Yeah, but lore is convoluted, self-contradictory, and serially updated/retconned.
Remember, the Tau were originally introduced as an example of one of the countless xenos affiliations (empires/federations/juntas/warbands/whatever) that beset the imperium from all sides. Generic example, like the Ultramarines are for all space marines or the Cadians are for all guard.
Then because they were a faction with models and rules, they had to be plot-armored into surviving just as much as all the other factions that actually have loss conditions. (ie, Imperium, Eldar).
They're maaaybe morally superior to the Imperium, but probably not even if if they're overtly nicer. They certainly don't have humanity's bests interests as close to their hearts as Tau best interests.
Also strictly enforced caste systems.Used to play tau in tabletop before heading off to uni. Too rich for my blood now.
>>335420539
It's a naval combat game where you can pit trireme fleets against galleon fleets against WWI cruiser fleets against WWII carrier fleets.
Though Tau will take the Carrier Queen crown from Chaos if they get added. And Necrons are just made out of rape and needles-under-toenails.
>>335419216
>zoom out more
Agreed. It's not as easy as they think to visually tell these things apart, so I tend to distinguish them by WHERE they are.
Which is made hard when you can't see everything you want.
>>335438663
>not ramming everything
In my Imperial campaign playthrough I had an a large cruiser with the Massive "Fuck Off" Spear-Dildo on the front built entirely around thrusters and hull for maximum ramming carnage.
Nothing more fun than getting that head-on Eldar collision.
>>335439728
Power ram really seems underwhelming, but I guess it's a thing. Lunars make a great general-purpose workhorse; you won't be upgrading weapons (except maybe torps) but they're a brick wall you can rush to any gap in your line, and mine has taken hits like a battleship without going down.
Not sure about maxing techpriests to increase repair efficiency though; I can't tell whether it's that effective.
>>335439728
In fairness the Eldar have probably fucked up pretty badly if they somehow end up in melee-range.
GET FUCKED CHAOS
>>335414305
>Are the Orks Shit in this or are they fun?
Yes to both.
I've been maining Orks.
Against a competent Chaos or Eldar player you're not going to have much fun, they'll kite you without much issues and whittle you down.
But if you close that gap, oh boy is it fun.
Closing that gap gets easier the more levels you get, you can get MWDs, Traktors, and taunts that keep them close to you. The early levels are hell.
>>335439981
>>335440034
>Orkz
Correct choice right here.
Oh wow, just looked up the Necron fleets in the table top. It looks straight out of Stargate.
ALRIGHT FAGGOTS
IS THIS GAME WORTH GETTING
I FUCKING LOVED EVERY DAWN OF WAR (YES EVEN THE ONES THAT BUTCHERED THE OLD RTS - DoW2).
>>335440705
It's totally different to DoW1/2. It's pretty good, and if you like 40k shit then you'll love it. There are some rough edges but the devs clearly love the source material and it shows.
>>335440705
Yeah, if you like the concept of a naval battle game in space with a pretty good eye for lore-detail then you'll probably enjoy it.
>>335440705
probably my goty
How much variety is there in multiplayer? I'm afraid I'd get bored pretty fast.
>>335441896
Each of the 4 factions have very different playstyles from each other.
I haven't really noticed a "meta" develop outside of Chaos players lean heavily on carriers.
>>335441982
What are the playstyles?
>>335442142
Chaos are long ranged and decently quick.
Eldar are front mounted guns and super fast raids.
Orks are getting stuck in and ramming.
Imperial Navy is average close-mid range brawling with good armor.
>>335442307
Whats the faction with the least micro-management?
Imps?
>>335442142
Chaos are long range attacks with bombers and lances, but everyone is better than then close up
Eldar are really fast and really short ranged. Basic strategy is to get in, shoot all your pulsars for a almost guaranteed kill, then fuck off and with for them to recharge. Going slow or getting hit is pretty much game over because Creed somehow swapped all their ships armor with guardsmen flak jackets.
Orks are getting in close, rammin, boardin, torpedo spammin, and generally being incredibly slow, and incredibly heavy armored. Don't expect to win missions that aren't straight up fights.
Imperials are middle ground. You have decent armor, but not ork level, you have decent range, but not chaos level. You have decent burst but not eldar level. What you do have is being very hard to kill, having the best broadsides, and being able to spam torpedoes to force your opponent into bad positions.
I haven't played Eldar or Chaos enough to give opinions on them, but Orks tend to have less micromanagement than Imperials.
>>335442385
Probably. You can set everything, including your Nova cannons on autofire and be ok.
Definitely not Eldar.

I'm awful at games with any semblance of strategy so while I want to play eldar because I like their sailboats, it would only go badly for me
>>335443307
Eldar is less strategy and more clicking. Honestly they take practise but nothing extreme.

>>335430673
While I love Tau, they have no business being in this game.
>>335443180
>>AI is actually harder than 99% of people playing this online
anon confirmed for talking out of his ass
the AI is fucking trash
>>335445176
You mean the game based on the tabletop they were in?
>>335445406
i think his point is that the game is based solely on the Gothic War, which the Tau had no part in
still, there's no reason why they can't make expansions featuring other factions
>>335410910
Dont worry tau will not come.
In the end cinematic you see necron.
Thats the last race.

i have yet to encounter people who can micro at all in this game. or anyone who can play eldar or orks properly. cpu has been lot harder and human players total trash who have no idea what they are doing, even if they have higher level than me

>>335426457
>without getting swarmed by Daemons?
Why would they not want to get swarmed by demons? That would be a waste of a good fight.
>>335445917
you are doing okay. just try to taunt/traktor beam/stasis bomb players too in online
and at least human players don't cheat like cpu does. no point trying to hide anywhere since cpu always knows where you are
>>335445865
I did wonder about that post, cause pretty much every German I've met so far has been a 40k fan. Though to be fair most people I know are into 40k to some extent.
>>335426457
Mostly they just fight the Daemons to pass the time. You know I wonder why no Warboss has tried to bring a WAAAAAAAAGH to the eye of terror yet.
>>335446246
But they have, often. They never win and they never leave but they have a great time while they last.
>>335445239
How nice that you met people who can actually play this game.
>>335440705
Its got more of that overly bombastic voice acting we all loved from the Dawn of War games.

They have.
They are now locked in an never ending horror of battle where they are assaulted by demons and die horrible painful deaths only to be reborn and do it again and again and again.
They basically reached ork heaven.

Why doesn't the Imperium fund a propaganda campaign to every Ork world to convince them that the Eye of Terror has the best fighting so that every single Ork ever goes in there, thus reducing their population massively?

There is literally nothing more satisfying than cutting a ship in half from a broadside ram.

Because that would mean progressing the story line. Something not in GW's dictionary of money-making schemes.
Tips for MP ork battles? I just keep loosing in 2v2 matches and I feel like dead weight, I have a level 4 light cruiser and a level 3 cruiser for reference. I've been trying to bascially get really close and just fucking traktor and then full speed ahead, BUT what do I do after I've crashed into them? I feel like they just run away and just fuck me up.
Finally got to the point in the SP campaign where you unlock Favors.
It feels nice to make friends.And now I have yellow space ships.

IS THE GAME ACTUALLY GOOD? WHY/WHY NOT? ITS ALWAYS SOME PEOPLE ROLEPLAYING IN THE THREADS
Can you color your ships in this game? If so when do you unlock it?
>>335451946
Should be coming later. There's still a spot on the UI reserved for it.

That's literally how you tell if a WH40k game is good dumbshit.

The large gray/black ship is a Demiurg Stronghold Class Commerce Vessel

Depends on a few things. Some people experience some technical issues, but these are apparently with the pirated versions mostly. I have a legit version and yet to experience any sort of crash. Even when it was still in beta.
As for the gameplay you will need to like the idea of naval combat, and micro-management. The AI can be somewhat unfair at times, but overall it is fun if you like that previous point. Balance will likely be addressed later since it is all still fairly new.
Lore-wise this is one of the better 40K games. Whoever designed the storyboarding and whatnot knew their shit and clearly has a genuine love for the IP.
Whether it is worth the asking price will vary. For me it was, but those who don't care much for the setting probably won't agree.
>>335452474
Fantasy=40k
>>335451863
It's alright, best Warhammer game since Space Marine and the last DoW 2 expansion by far though. But there's a lot of little bullshit things that bring it down in relation to balance, difficulty, mission objectives, etc.
>>335447981

DIS THREAD BELONGS TO DA ORKS
>>335453247
To be completely honest I'd be okay with AoS if they didn't kill off fantasy for it. I'm sort of digging some of the lore and the game itself while not great doesn't seem that bad from what I've played/read. Especially with how dumb WHFB was becoming towards the end of it's life.
>>335453385
Same. I have nothing against it existing, my issue is that they shanked WHFB for it. Mostly because they want it to be 40K levels of popular, and couldn't trademark the existing WHFB stuff.
Have they fixed the gamebreaking bugs, no teamchat/mic function, and laughable gamemode ''''''''''''balance'''''''''''''' yet?
>>335453726
Haven't encountered any big bugs yet, but maybe just lucky.
Other 2 points not fixed.
>>335431175
Yes comrade. Thank the Etherials for freeing us from our false idol. Now, let us get back to our earth-cast labor assignments and make sure you take your compliance pills, for the greater good!
>>335453839
I was really digging this game, but after two "you can't use any abilities" bug in a row followed by a "you can't move your ships" bug I decided I'm done until it's fixed.
>>335453726
>Have they fixed the gamebreaking bugs
Are you playing a legit or pirated version?
>>335453879
The DoW shit is retarded and not in line with how they've acted in every other instance.
>>335453953
Legit. Which makes it even more annoying when you have to forfeit a match because of retarded bugs and then lose your ships in the warp.

It just sold 100k! Woo!
>>335453960
Your telling me there is a 'good guys' in 40k?
as a 2nd ed table top player I am well aware that there are countless zenos and even human world with happy egalitarian societies that are either unknown-to or pay paltry homage to the empire...
but the idea of a fleshed out table top race being good guys?
can't be. Ultramarines are as close as your going to get to 'good guys'
>>335410227

Seriously all those ship classes with missile pods. Hvy. Macros and Lance batteries. Chaos is fucking op as.
>Broadsiding at 12k
>FAST enuff to dodge orkz rammin' attempts
>Ordnance out the asshole.
>>335454263
It would be nice if the Tau win simply because they were interesting in the tabletop. I want my redirect-able torpedoes.
Necrons would be broken. Nids would be boring. And all those others are minor factions/fleets.
>>335454418
Sorry to ruin your edgy box, but they are. There's nothing in the fluff that points any other way, they're basically the goodest guys in the setting. They're by no means saints but relative to everyone else, they're great.
>>335454470
As terrible as that game was for many reasons, the CGI was fun and the whole thing shipping with a German language option was hilarious.

Half the fun of EaW was the cinematic camera.
>>335454418
No. When the Tau first came out they were Naive Newcomer / white knights etc.
They got retconned into being slave castes society controlled by the ethereal etc.

Imperial fist termies and sm's are cool.
IN favour seems to be the only hard counter available vs. The chaos's slaaneshi/tzeentch one.
>>335455093
Yep Marine favor. Went with that on a Dauntless that was geared for boarding actions.
Can't wait for the actual Marine fleet though. Glorious glorious Bombardment Cannons and Thunderhawks.
>>335433516
this. tail them at max LS range wait til timer almost expire. Board their shit and goad them into chasing you right into an ambush.

No. If you are autist, Then I even moreso.
A used a Latin translation thingy to faux latinate my ship names
'The light of truth ' became 'In Veritate'

THAT sort of thing.
Although... "Arma Contemptum" sounds fucking badass.

>>335455626
I would like to think that they played the tabletop and can't cope without their bullshit free column shift and lance negating holofields from it.
What the fuck do I do with the or battleship? It's so fucking slow
What weapons should i be putting on my Ork Line Ships? In games where I get kited like a bitch, I'd like to think I can put on something to make my life just slightly better.
>>335456102
LOTSA 'EAVY KANNONS YA GIT
YA USE YER TAKTIKS AND GIT CLOSE TO DA UMIES BOARD EM AND GIVE EM DAKKA
>>335456219
Alright, what about skills? I figure chained squig for my flagship, but I'm lost when it comes to synergy/theory crafting in this game.
>>335456902
MAKE YER KANNONS DAKKA FAR
THEN MAKE YER KANNONS DAKKA HARD UP CLOSE
DEN YA UPGRADE YER ENGEENS SOS YA CAN GET DA UMIES
>>335456902
Flagship is actually immune to insubordination so it's the one ship that DOESN'T need the squigs.
What >>335456970 said in general.
1.gun range
2.gun armor piercing
3. +100 shields / +25% boost
4. the one you didn't get in 3
>>335457202
>upgrading guns for orks
why, all you do is ram shit anyways
>>335457297
Dude Orkz have the best broadside in the game by an insane margin.
If you aren't getting kannons and upgrading the shit out of them you have no idea what you're doing.
>>335457297
Choppy versus shooty is the eternal ork philosophical debate.
However a true ork knows that it isn't about how you get stuck in with the boyz that matters, but that you just do get stuck in with the boyz.
>>335457363
>implying
Imp broadside is ten times better with upgrades
>>335457654
But that's objectively wrong.
Heavy Kannonz do 48 damage a hit with 18 critical chances.
They also have +4 in assault actions with Goff favour, meaning you're fucked if Orkz get close.
I don't think you know what you're talking about, Anon.
>>335454702
>we want more 40 k games that aren't just dow's
While that is true, I also want Dawn of War 3 really, REALLY badly. I've looked at the work Relic did with Company of Heroes 2, and I'd say they are still capable of delivering a fantastic DoW 3 that could meet all our expectations except maybe balance wise. We'd just need to hope that SEGA wouldn't force them to adopt the same microtransactions P2W shit that THQ did on their dying hours to try and save some money.
>>335457654
Domainator has 3 dps broadside
Ork Terror has 8 dps broadside with 4x more crit chance
>>335410227
voting for Tau
>>335418364
Losing both artifacts guarantees you a def loss. You won't get reinforcements until Turn 30. Try to win the Eldar ally missions so they get thrown out of the campaign and destroy the Ork Space hulk and the greenskins are gone for good.
Also git gud.
>>335418651
Exterminatus only shows up if you haven't liberated a world early enough. If you fail to liberate the system it gets destroyed and counts as lost.
That means if its just a kinor system, you get a higher sedition chance. If it is something important like portal worlds, admech shit or worse, something that belongs to the Inquisition, you're fucked.
>>335419809
You can't safe every world. Focus on world worth something. Like Shirne worlds, admech stuff and portal worlds. The latter are the most importan. If all are free you have a 100% chance for a bonus deployment each turn which is huge.
>win Assassination mode
>your flagship is now lost in the warp
This is a cool mechanic, but it really needs to not apply to assassination and data recovery. It's retarded.
Is it acceptable to love the aesthetics of the Tau, fire warriors and Shas'o X8 Crisis suits in particular?
>>335458403
That is just how the warp works.
Your other option is sticking around and finishing off the enemy during those missions.
Those are just the risks for fleeing like a coward.
