How goes the cleansing of the xeno filth, admiral?Also, how long is this campaign? I'm on turn 10 and I'm starting to get a little tight on planets.

Traktor cannon is a buggy pile of bullshit.
Half the time I try using it the damn thing misfires and pushes the ship away.

There is literally nothing wrong with worshiping Chaos.

My biggest loss was the one where you had to escort the Inquisitor through the asteroid field while he was carrying the Eye of Night. Fuck that one was tough.
>>335764903
Chaos range game is strong. Love spamming lock on for the 300% Lance critical chance at 12k unit range whilst launching fighters constantly and forward bombarding with prow Lance escorts.
>>335765068
AH yeah makes sense. Those are main objectives. You might end up having to restart.
Who else /Ironman/ here?
We iz gonna stomp da ‘ooniverse flat an’ kill anyfing that fights back. We iz gonna do this coz’ we’re Orks an’ we was made ta fight an’ win!
>>335765880
Fuck off Orkfags. You're literally filler-tier race. The only ones worse than you xeno cunts are theEldar.
Fuck Eldar even more.
>>335765880
I've played a handful of good Ork players and fuck are they good. I'm starting to think Orks may be the most skillcapped race in the game.
>>335765808
The only correct way to play.
>>335766048
Eldar are easy to bitch slap with Chaos.
anyone else have trouble in 2v2 when you get a chaos teammate. they either do nothing during the fights or they go in and die in 2 seconds.
>>335767767
Chaos are suicidal. It's their nature.
>>335767767
Chaos isn't for beginners, despite the game saying otherwise. You gotta know how to build and position specifically for chaos to not be a useless fuck.
If I like Dawn of War as well as all the expansions, is there a high chance I'll enjoy Armada?
>>335769124
Probably. Torrent it and try it out, then buy if you like.
Recommend either steam or the official website, they're doing a "buy from us get all future updates and content for free" thing, I think.
>>335769124
If you like blowing Elves the fuck up and ramming your ship down Chaos' gaping warp hole then yes.
Regular BFGA general on
>>>/vg/

Do enough people even play this?
>>335769124
It's quite different.
It's like a ship combat game except in space.
>>335769690
Honestly i'd go with either warhammer games general or Games workshop General.
>>335769690
Unfortunately there's no real point to get organised until they fix multiplayer so you can actually play with/against the people you want to play with.
>>335769690
I wish, have to search for this thread to get discussion.
Vermintide had general and this game doesn't.
As much as I want to like this game I just can't.
I've never seen such piss poor balance and so many bugs before in my life.
If this thing has anything resembling an active community by the time Total Warhammer is out I'll be amazed.
>>335771991
Balance is meh.
Haven't had any bugs myself, but am hearing about it.
Bro you act like they're not updating and releasing stuff constantly like any game release. Most bugs will get fixed, balance will get better.
>>335771991
im just curious what balance issues you are talking about.
>>335772959
Play literally any objective game mode with or against Eldar and you'll roll your eyes so hard you'll pull a muscle.
>>335773079
i thought you were talking about factions. yea the game modes other than kill each other are shit. especially as an ork player
>>335762982
Starting to get a feel for Chaos finally. When I started with the low point limits it was fine, but once I started going up 600 point cruiser clash and convoy attack I was getting my ass handed to me. But I've gotten the hang of it, it's literally all about distance and spamming bombers. I've got a prow lance cruiser for sniping behind the lines while my carriers circle and dodge around the main ships, although it's tricky not getting chewed up by imperial guns and ork ramming and it's very micro heavy.
My main issues are fucking convoy attack against Eldar, you have to kill them immediately and if you are unlucky and let some slip past you are fucked. Pretty much anything where maneuverability is the key is a bitch against Eldar as you rarely have a chance unless your opponent is an idiot.
Thinking of going Ork next, are they as bad as they seem? I seem to wreck them pretty hard so long as I can avoid their rams.
>>335773079
>3 minutes to kill an Eldar battle cruiser on the other side of the map who just boosts away from everything and kites you until you lose
>3 minutes to drop an Eldar cruiser's shields and steal data, but don't let his 6 ships vs your 3 drop your shields and steal it right back then boost away with 5 seconds left
Idk if that has to do with balance or just bad game play ideas
>>335769743
Correct me if I'm wrong but based on what people are saying is there a single player campaign or SP at all?
>>335766048
>mfw mad as fuck mon'keigh shitters can't deal with muh pulsars.
I thrive on your tears.
>>335773438
Both, because an Eldar Voidstalker can 1-2 shot anything in the game where anyone else would have to have fun and brawl it out for a couple minutes
>>335773609
There's a singleplayer campaign for the Imperial Navy, but not the other factions. There's also a skirmish mode which is just multiplayer except vs AI.
>>335773363
orks are probably the hardest to play since you have no speed or range. you are really going to have to use clouds to your advantage. boarding and heavy kannons are your friend. dont forget to shoot your torpedos before you ram. lastly remember. ORKZ EZ BEST
>>335769838
>warhammer games general
I tried and got like 10 answers before the thread died.
Can the campaign be played open-endedly or is it impossible to avoid being overwhelmed eventually or do credits roll after a final forced mission
Any words on more factions being released fot this game?
>>335774583
There was a poll on the official site, with Tau leading by a bit
>>335769690
Regular /bfg/ general exists at /tg/
>>335774583
If the game does well enough I don't think it'd be unreasonable to expect the Tau, Necrons, and Tyranids to be added in eventually. I think the better question is whether or not the game is doing well enough for that to become a reality.
>>335774972
Game is quite good for WH40k, but pricing is too high and some people got crashes and bugs.
>>335774191
You could always savescum.
The more defeats you have, the harder it is to keep the planets down.
Once you get a good feel for the factions, then you can play it on hard with iron man on.
>>335775254
That'll be fixed within the next month and purchases will pick up via the very positive reviews and word of mouth.
It's not a bad game and people know it has massive potential, it just needs to be ironed out and worked on.
At least the devs seem to be doing that.
nothing better than beating chaos/eldar as orks. especially when hitting one ship with 5+ boarding actions at once and then the ship is worthless.

This seems an extremely common mentality in the BGA Steam community. "Everything that beats me is OP pls nerf!"

What are you doing, Captain?
>>335769124
Armada doesn't let you have very large-scale battles. Usually just 2-4 warships. Mods should fix that though as it did in DoW
>Tfw I will eventually field 20 battleships
>>335776316
Best 40k gaming experience is still Soulstorm with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod.
>>335780454
Not him, and I'm clearly casual as fuck, but once I get 5 or 6 ships at hand, microing all of them becomes a real chore.
Sure some of the escorts you can just put on auto pilot and they'll do fine, but if you got 4 or 5 large ones that take an hour to turn you better be ready on the boost-turns when Imperial torpedoes are inbound.
>>335780582
Tactical cogitator, son.
Also, speaking of
>large ones that take an hour to turn
I think the turn speed upgrade is really underrated, especially on Orks.
>>335781067
For Orkz it's downright mandatory IMO. I mean how are you going to get your ship INTO theirs if you can't turn towards them?
>tfw you get the Eldar to show you where all the warpgates are by 'helping' them.

The alpha strike of an imperial fleet loaded with torpedoes and the torpedo upgrade is a beautiful thing.

>you can ally with the Eldar
Fuck yes, does that means I can actually fully reenact the canon?
>>335782037
Yes.
>>335781987
Yeah, I hit it full broadside with all torpedoes from a Retrebution and a Lunar at the same time as dropping two plasma bombs on it then about 5 seconds later hit it with two boarding action assaults from Imperial Fists space marines. Thing lost 3/4 of its health in about 15 seconds.
>>335782037
Yes.
>>335782179
SERVER DOWN
does this mean they're patching all of those horrible bugs?
How do human ship are operated if they doesn't have computers on their ships?
>>335783167
faith
>>335783167
They do have cogitators (computers), they also have a ton of servitors, which are basically cybernetic zombies that use the still living brains as bio-computers. The whole shit is coordinated by computer networks. What they don't have a ton of is automation, though the level of grim-dark involved with that is dependent on the author.
They just don't have any AI- because that is Heresy.
>>335783167
They have computers, just not AI.
The Machine Spirit pretty much replaces AI though, it's just a more biologic/soul/mystic version of AI.
>>335783167
Grim Darkness. And slaves rowing paddles out in space.
>>335783264
>They just don't have any AI- because that is Heresy.
Does that mean Chaos ships can have AI?
>>335783483
They probably have fucking deamons inside their machines and shit.
>>335783483
They have Daemons instead.
>>335783483
Their ships were made post Dark Age of Technology, so no, they don't have AI. They do have demons inhabiting them though, which allows for much faster reaction time. It is not unheard of for Chaos ships to have no crew whatsoever and just act as the body of a greater demon.

On the plus side, Ork players tend to be fucking bros all around, even when you're fielding a full carrier chaos fleet.
>>335784860
>On the plus side, Ork players tend to be fucking bros all around
Because the Orks are the only faction that canonically allows its members to have some fucking fun in their lives.
>>335784860
Orkz have probably the highest skill ceiling in this game and by far the highest skill floor so anyone who plays them decently is a good player.
Also ork banter is best banter.
>>335784860
From what I've seen:
>Orks are usually cool, good with bantz in chat even when they're not the greatest players, good Ork players are both the best allies and the best enemies
>Chaos players seem to know what they're doing more often than other players, but also tend to be bigger bitches who can't handle the banter
>Imperials are one half less banty versions of Orks (but still cool) and the other half noobs who constantly whine about everything being OP and unfair
>Eldar are either competent players who are total assholes or even worse players than Imp noobs, but a bit less whiney
There are of course exceptions to all of these, but this is the general impression I get.
>>335785327
Eldar players who aren't total smug asshats, aren't acting properly.
>>335785103
>>335785232
Not arguing on the banter part, god is it awesome.
>NEXT TIME I BRING MORE BOYS
>MOAR
>MOARS
>MOARERS
God I'll regret that player.
But as far as skill floor goes, Eldars seem to have it the worst, they either curbstomp games like you wouldn't believe (that one guy that brought a single battleship to a 2v2 300-something game) or get destroyed without really doing much.
Though 2v2 may be the best mode for Eldars now that I think about it.
>>335784860
Does AI take over in the event of a DC?
>>335785492
>that one guy that brought a single battleship to a 2v2 300-something game
He'll still get his shit wrecked by an Ork who brings a cruiser with taunt and tractor beam and fills the rest of his points with the little ramming escorts. Assuming the Cruiser manages to evade most of the initial Pulsar strike, the Eldar is dead in the water if he only brings one ship.
>>335785578
Nope. It goes down as a capitulation.
Will this game still have an active multiplayer in 2-3 days? I'm waiting to 100% Dark Souls 3 before I move onto other games and this one's next on the list, but I want to go online and be orky.
>>335785327
Not enough fun games to really be relevant, but the only bitching bitches I got where Imperials.
And as a Chaos player, god have I no idea of what I'm doing. As in, I just discovered that you could launch fighter fleets without them being cancelled by your next squadron launch.
Orks be bros and Eldars be hit or miss as always.
Best favour for an Ork battleship?
>>335785435
Hey man, that's mean... I'm not smug :(
>>335785740
Goffs or Bad Moonz IMO.
>>335780454
you can already reduce fleet point cost of ship to 1 in deployment with cheat engine, if you reduce it before a match against AI begins they will also cheat out 60 ships
go nuts
>>335785619
Well, that's what I'm here for, with my cruisers. He also did a great job at managing the radar and the scout advance. I don't think he was in taunt range even once during the whole thing.
Yet again, soon enough the enemy fleets warped off, either silently bitch-surrendering or crashing like I did last game.
>>335785745
Then you should work on that.
Being Smug is essential part of Eldar existence.
>>335785745
You are doing everything wrong.
I own but I haven't touched online, is the cheating rampant? I've seen discussions about it on the steam forum. Not too keen on going up against cheaters online.
>>335785896
How the fuck does one cheat at this game?
>>335785896
>>335785926
theres only cheat engine stuff around now, not sure if it works in multiplayer
>>335785896
It's not nearly as rampant as the Steam whiners would lead you to believe, but yeah it does happen.
Most of the problems you read about on the Steam board are true, but usually vastly exaggerated.
>>335785926
Usually they're just breaking the point limit by bringing more ships than is allowed.
>>335785926
From what i've read the profiles are stored locally and aren't checked for any sort of tampering, so people will fill their ships with all upgrades and bring in loads of them. Might have been partially fixed with their last update.
>>335785807
>>335785869
I've let you down, sorry anons
>>335785327
>the other half noobs who constantly whine about everything being OP and unfair
I had one IN player bitch and moan that orkz were OP when what he did was pretty much try to outmelee me. he didnt even use torpedos despite having them. There was even a good 20ish seconds when he just did not move.
I honestly don't get why some people blame everyone else but themselves.
>>335783483
Abominable Intelligences are too grimderp even for Chaos.
>>335786421
>I honestly don't get why some people blame everyone else but themselves.
It's easier.
Also, sometimes you're just so fucking lost you don't even know where you screwed up. Or where to start correcting yourself.
>ITT: Buttmad Chaosfag
Reminder that there is only one solution to heresy.
>tfw beating an Eldar player in less than two minutes
>>335787301
Absolutely correct.
>>335785896
I have over one hundred hours in the game, almost all of them in MP and I don't think I have personally encountered a cheater. Certainly no one obviously going over the point limit.

>>335766048
I STILL can't be fucked going back to campaign yet. I'm still mad at retard elfderp suiciding his voidstalker into a whole group of ork ships and then just sitting there dying. So I 'lost' because he ran away like a Fucking chickenshit puke.
>>335773650
No. Just can't believe how much of a Fucking retard your 'prince' is. I bet he's a Fucking fire dragon autarch.
>>335792280
Thats nice, unless game RNG or bugs fuck up your game. Pic related. Still mad that this ruined my nice campaign. Only lost 2 missions during those turns and most of the time had 3 deployments.
Still would like to know what caused this until I start again.
>>335786556
Why would they need ai?
Grimderp chaos asshats leash greater daemons inside their enginariums and cogitator banks via hereteks for 'improvement'
>how dafug would that even work?
Whoever wrote half of the chaos fluff is a dumbass.
>>335794052
You should always prioritize any missions that cause the raiding bar to increase. So early on that's Orks, then Eldar, then Chaos. As long as you keep that bar low, the amount of planets you'll lose will stay manageable. If you let in increase too much, you'll start losing planets at a faster rate and you won't be able to get enough deployment to keep reclaiming them.
>>335786120
How? I don't online. My PC is offline 99% of the time. I just want enough renown to fill the skill and upgrade slots on my ships sitting empty...
I haven't even favoured any of my ships yet. Way too expensive.
>>335781880
This fucker. Fucking elfderp. That prince cannot into captaining. He drives like an ork.
>>335794257
Thats what I tried. Also tried to focus mopping up single sectors out of threats, but lost worlds count still kept raising too fast. I'd honestly have all those bonuses taken from me that those planets give, if I just could continue my game. I'd be handicapped, but I don't care. Had fun as hell with my campaign.
FUCKING ELDAR
Are these cunts getting balanced. Jesus fucking christ you know you're a fucking NIGGER when you go that elf cock sucking faction. jesus

>>335795205
Bullseye, huh?
I wonder what it is about Imp scrubs that makes them resort to crying every time they lose instead of gitting gud.
>>335795363
lol you're playing as the most OP faction in the game. How about you get good
>>335795954
I didn't realise Orks were that OP.
Then again, I do win 80% of my games, so maybe you're right.
>>335795043
You say that after playing assassination against Eldar, it is the gayest shit.
>>335797324
Assassination is a shit game mode anyway, just like Data Recovery.
>>335797396
You have to sacrifice the souls of all your children on the altar of rng satan to get enough good rolls to succeed at them
>>335798045
Nah, all you need is to be the defender and have a ship ready that's specifically designed for them.
Unless you fuck up, it's pretty much impossible to lose as the defender, especially if you're Eldar or Chaos.
>>335798406
I meant as attacker. Fug defender. Faceroll the match and still win those modes as defender.
Attacker has to murder a convent full of nuns b4 he can have a slight chance of winning.
