I do, on occasion, I was gonna have a go with Am's, but it turns out I deleted it to make room for... shtuff.
Ceres2005-08-03 11:43:28
Go un-delete it happy.gif

what is it?
Ceres2005-08-06 09:07:18
Google it!

Wasn't supposedly taken from the idea of Risk? heard that somewhere. Then again, I look at games the same way I look at red meat.

Me+Redmeat= I don't think so.

Dawn of War most closely resembles the old dos game "Z". You build your army, take control of more areas, build up there and keep on steamrolling your way to victory. Until you play someone who chose Chaos and sped their way to mass producing defilers or an Eldar player who did the same for Fire Prisms. Then you just cry and hope you die fast.

Um.

Asarnil, let's play.

I'll beat your defiler/prism rush with orks happy.gif

Tabletop is nothing like DoW sad.gif

Tabletop is better if you have the money. But DoW is still awesome. My poor graphics card must hate me though.

There's nothing like 10 dreadnoughts walking through a mass of 150 orks and their whole base in under 5 minutes. tongue.gif

I love the dreadnoughts, tabletop or not. I just wish they had chaos dreadnoughts... sigh.

There are mods out there, Folk.

Now I know. Well, I figured, but I'm saving for a RADEON XR9950 whenever they finish the drivers on it.

You think? By that stage I should also have a full complement of Warp Spiders to complement my Prism Tanks, and Warp Spiders tear through Orcs like crazy. And then once you finally finish that wave, in comes charging my Farseer with Council (the only Eldar unit that compares with Orcs in melee) with a fun complement of other troops for you to whet your teeth on.

Or if I am playing Chaos, I am sure the 1 Flamer/3 Heavy Bolter CSM squads still work wonders against Orks with a couple of Missile Launcher backups if your the Killa Kan orcish player. Basically as Chaos, as long as I can stop you getting a Squiggoth the game is evenly matched - its only once you get that beast that things start hurtin.

As soon as my computer finishes getting repaired, I will happily start pwning joo on Dawn of War. wub.gif

Killa Kans just dont die to missiles, nor do Warbosses. If you are planning on trying to outgun a killa kan rush, you either need like 4 squads of maxed missile launchers or a few predators/dreadnoughts with lascannons.

As for squigoths, close combat is suprisingly effective (if you are using terminators/nobz/wraithlords/dreanoughts). In short, the only ork unit I am afraid of is Nobz with an attached Boss.

Just finished a game as orks (which I lost)

Nob squad with attached warboss, killa kan, two fully reinforced units of shootas with doks and a big mek.

Raped by 3-4 un-reinforced squads of marines with plasma.

Orks are so gimp in 1.3

Maybe with uberfast game speed and resource gain...
Ceres2005-08-08 18:30:00
I've been playing as SM recently.

WAY easier.

Who's up for a match?
