Any Dawn of War fans?

[Zakath]

I just finished a 3 hour long game with my friend. Well, we didn't really finish it but we called it a draw and quit because we were getting nowhere. I had him trapped in a corner, but we were stalemated at the last bridge. Here's a screenshot of my map after he quit.. the sideways T shape on the right of the map is a massive line of turrets I built and everything else is army.

I was Eldar and he was Space Marines.. at the end I had lost 3200 units with a 3500 sized army and he had lost 1200 units. Anyway, the point of this thread is to see if anyone else likes DoW and wants to ever play. We use the total war mods so it increases the caps to 60 instead of the retarded 20.

I have DoW and the x-pack. Sounds like a cool game you fought. I use to play it a lot but not so much anymore. The space-marines, are in my opinion far to over powerd. They have the ability to stealth in to your base and then drop their entire army into your base, full squads and everything. They also have the ability to remake their troops fast enough to create a pretty much constant barrage of drops. No other army can do that, eldar come somewhat close but they have to actually build a building near the enemy. There also is no way to really counter the space marine from dropping their troops because if the person has good enough micro by the time you kill the scout he could of already sent in his troops.

Its probably one of the best RTS games out right now.

Space Marines are not overpowered. Their units are very powerful, but I can beat them with Eldar because I can make my units a lot faster then they can. Plus in Winter Assault Eldar got a new infantry unit that kicks ***.i heard from a friend who plays video games that game isn't worth buying and that it's gay
Your friend is gay because he thinks he has to buy it. Direct hosting works on downloaded versions.. let your friend know that next time you're sucking his ****.

Space Marines are over powerd. It might take them a longer to build up their army if they are going to drop but its not like they can't rush or anything. Space Marines excelt at every part of the game and don't really have a big weakness.

[Mister_Che]

I really need the expansion.

[Zakath]

Oh yea, you can also beat them with Chaos because you can upgrade your regular infantry to carry rocket launchers which pwns the marine tanks. Personally I think the game is pretty balanced.. except for maybe the Orks they're not too great.

Chaos are also really expensive, that strategy would cost a lot of req.

I've never had any problems with it. :cool:

Playing in standard or QS matches?

[Zakath]

Playing in standard or QS matches?
QS obviously.. why do you think we use the total war mod? I want action and lots of it, not retarded strategizing over which units you're going to build before your 20 cap is filled up.

...well thats a bit different.

[-Listy-]

I had it but I sold it, wish I didnt now..

Was a good game.

I might get it again and get the expansion sometime.

[AA-12]

Amazing game. If you like micromanaging then you can't really get any better than this.

[-Listy-]

If I got this again, would people be up for some games? Because if I remember correctly the single player sucked, and this would be fun.

[AA-12]

Well, I only play the SP skirmishes, but yeah i'd play.

[Zakath]

I'd play. You don't even have to buy the game... like I said you can just dl it and use direct connecting. I only play with QS/fast resources etc and occasionally I enable cheats for fun.

[Turkish]

I always play the Eldar because their Avatar is amazing.

[Kithkin]

If they put the Tau in the next expansion I might play it.

[Emperor]

Id be up for some game, and you can download a mod with the Tau in it.

[Mister_Che]

The Tau have been confirmed for the next expansion.

http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=96376&p=irol-newsArticle_print&ID=809933&highlight=

The add-on will include all-new explosive Dawn of War single-player action, new multiplayer content and two new playable races including the technologically devastating Tau, bringing the total number of playable races in Dawn of War to an unprecedented seven.

rather than make a new thread i thought i'd bump this one..i didnt even know DOW2 was released in February. does anyone have it?

and does anyone still play the first one? i just installed it again the other day if anyone wants a game sometime.

[Luc214]

DOW2's single player is weird, it's like an RPG sort of.

[Strum]

whats up with the gay photo

so gay

[pigletopeth]

DOW is okay.

[GreyHam]

i prefer DOW2 multiplayer tbh. No base building means you get to spend more time focusing on your units
