>is casually the shittiest builder in the gametypical grot
WEZ DA SHOOTIEST
>>719355138Until they got nerfed after gitz + boss was outshooting baneblades.
>>719355062I think the Tau builder is worse.
>>719354848WEGGHH
The DE is actually worth it now because now melee corpses are persistent which means I can play orks to my hearts desire.
>>719355062>numerous insta-respawns>worstEarth-Caste builder FTFY
>>719355760>>719355249Grots have a surprisingly long reinforce time and they build/repair more inefficiently than other builders. 3x earth caste repair at 90HP/s, 3x grots (as in, 3 members, not 3 squads as it doesn't work like that) only do 45hp/s.
When I played this at LAN as a wee lad we didnt have dlc except winter assault, how are the dlc factions for fun?Ive been trying out some Dark Eldar after work and theyre pretty fun but dont have defensive turrets. weird.
Ahh, a chaLLENGE WORTHY OF MY Skill...
>>719356275grots can upgrade to be invisible thoe
>>719356581DE are pretty challenging to play as due to limited roster, upgrades that only apply to a few of said roster and a number of bugs related to their abilities.>dont have defensive turrets. weird.Not really - it fits in well with their highly mobile, hit-and-run style that was even more prevalent in their background at the time. Defensive positions isn't something dark eldar really do, so they get no turrets. Like the tau though DE get one of the best LP's in the game and the dark lance upgrade is pretty potent.
>>719356849Detection is easy to source for most races (lmao get fucked DE, and tau to a lesser degree).
just found this goblin, please take care of it anons
Dark Crusade and Soulstorm seem to be harder in Definitive Edition; i.e level 6+ bases just spam a tide of units from the beginning even if your honour guard holds them at bay they eventually will get worn down by a constant stream of attacks.In contrast attacking a level 10+ main stronghold is pretty normal skirmish gameplay even if the enemy has 2-3 bases, is there a bug that I missed?
>>719357075No way, fag.
>>719357075Sure bro I've got some cute wings he can play with
>>719357105I've noticed the a.i stepping up their game too. I've played a few comp stomps with my friends in definitive and the a.i have been rushing considerably more aggressively than normal. Not a problem for me as i'm an old hand but my friends are not so experienced.
>>719357105What difficulty? I'm playing Soulstorm on Normal and the enemy in regular battles are retarded, they rush with all their units and commander right away, eat shit and then never have anything left when I attack them
>>719354848I saw a few of them dancing after 9/11.
>>719357157shieeeet>>719357176>winged goblin + catapultdamn that's a great concept
>>719356581DE are not defensive at all, it's all hard hit and run aka RAID playstyle. Shit for 1v1, 2v2 requires cover from teammate. 3c3 is free win for DE due to DE bugs and "fixes" so invisible mandrakes can stack all on 1 unit and rape everybody
>>719357616> "fixes" so invisible mandrakes can stack all on 1 unit and rape everybodyHold up, tell me more. Most of my knowledge for dark eldar is their shit not working.
>>719356581Deldar are built for the early rushYou either win immediately or get completely rolled over
>>719357369You play on Normal, your units have 200% health and the enemy has 100% health
>>719357696have you slept for the first 3-4 days after DE was released?pathfinding fix was basically making every unit with 1px frame so you can stack any units on near single pixel like pci relin 3v3 you spam mandrakes. Because of stacking, ALL melee untis can hit others at once, especially hero units and rape them to death. Now combine it with cheap, invisible mandrakes who originally had bigger hitbox to avoid such abusive stack. You can rape harder than eldar rushing with guardians t1. DE didnt fix any SS or other bugs, and introduced new. They promised 2 big patches while selling game that only selling point is wide screen and a little better performance with many units(depends, some players had giga framedrops anyway)so, DE spams you with mandrakes and he's free to tech up. Meanwhile 1 of enemy teammates is either disabled by mandrakes, or commited to countering them. When he finally builds up, you have entire fleet of ravagers who stack just like pci related and rape anything you want. You can basicaly jump into enemy base, nearly instakill HQ before enemy can reach your stack and then jump awayalso, deathballs with shooty units denying zone control unless you get a decent aoe like basilisk or whirlwind
>>719358030Is it really that bad? I never looked into it, why aren't they both 100% for the default mode, I just didn't want it to be a miserable experience like DoW2 on harder difficulties
>>719358209also, races without good melee(tau) or no melee at all until later(sisters) are completely fucked. Moving ranged squads is a pain and a risk, because they clump together and soak every aoe possible when moving. In that regard IG is strong due to basilisk special shells, bt not as OP as chaos, necron and DE now
>>719354848p-pleaseno more kicking
>>719358209>have you slept for the first 3-4 days after DE was released?Well i've only played about 6 games and I absolutely cannot, will not and shall not get back to multiplayer under any circumstances.
>>719358695well, multi will die anyway. It was the modding community that kept the game alive
>>719358873I used to have an addiction to the game during dark crusade. I've clocked in thousands of hours and can never fall back into that again. These days I just like playing titanium wars but i've found that a little broken in definitive (mouse won't pan the screen left or right) so I am sticking to my regular SS install for now. I bought definitive just to play with my friends occasionally.
>>719358291Easy is 250% player health, enemy at 25% healthNormal is 200% player health, enemy at 100% healthHard is 100% player health, enemy at 150% health
>>719359290>need to mod the game to get a flat even 100/100gay
>>719359229yeach, relic after many promsies at the end told moders to 'fix it yourself" in many cases, especially UI. Some told them to fuck off patch the game retards, others started to work. Many other mods that are no longer debeloped will just suck like thissince im going to sleep, gonna post some screenshots from modded map
>>719359290Great I didn't realise it was that unbalanced, I did wonder why my commander had more health than the others but I chalked it up to the wargear, are there even any differences between AI behaviour
Why is DoW still so beloved to this day?
>>719357558DOOM DIVER!!!

>>719360708Well it won't be dawn of eldar that is for sure.

>>719362108Have you tried getting good?
>>719362108>if I rush the enemy base they somehow repel me, gain a resource advantage, and swarm meStop throwing troops into the grinder - pull back when it starts to go wrong.>if i tier up fast the enemy rushes me but i somehow CAN'T repel themHard teching is tight as shit which is why it is mostly the domain of chaos players.
>>719354848Why is it so hard to find good gretchin smut?
>>719363548loli-grot doesn't look like that
CHARGE
>>719358209I tried DE thanks to this post. 3 mandrake squads took down a Big Mek in 5 seconds.
It is a shame dark eldar never got any major love from modders after their model range was redone for 5th edition 40k. I know some work was done on modelling raiders but nothing substantial ever came of it.
>>719363548They're walking fungi just like orks thus no genitals to have sex with
>>719364453For whatever reason modding the Dark Eldar in DoW's engine is an absolutely horrendous nightmare. It's unlikely they'll ever be seriously touched except by the most depraved autistic modeler.
>>719364524old orkz had dongs and there were girl ones too
>>719364985proofs??
>>719364974Any particular reason why that you can articulate? I know nothing myself so I assumed model swaps weren't done just because nobody gave a fuck about dark eldar for best part of 20 years, let alone anyone with the skill to actually make 3d models for the game.
>>719365091I can't Matt Ward will find me if I do
>>719365194I prefer ian watson.
Why didn't anyone tell me Sisters got a unit of girls with a titty hanging out, to think I've been sleeping on Soulstorm this whole time
>>719365162It's been actual years, but if I remember right it's because for whatever fucking reason the dark eldar models are actually merged with the game's base files. You'd have to unmerge the files without fucking up the rest of the game when retrieving them.
>>719365406BACK IN THE DAY those rags they wore offered the same armour as space marine scouts or guard kasrkin. Y'know, because bullet-resistant tits or something. PS look real close to the dais of destruction's slave girls.

>>719365909SPHESS MUHREEN
>>719356581DE have the highest unupgraded basic unit damage in the game with their warriors and they're also fast as fuck. DE are really good at rushing the enemy early with warrior squads and their late game isn't good, just watch out if you're up against Chaos because cultists with grenade launchers and defilers will slaughter you.
>Commander Boreale -- enemy forces in our perimeter.
>>719366205DE are great - a landspeeder ahead of scourges will completely cripple your ability to fight back.
>>719366252https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr_9fjhnKCk
>>719366252I only did this mission the other day, why does no one comment on the fact he decides to orbital bombard his own troops or is that normal, his troops seem to second guess him a lot too
IIRC dark eldar don't suffer movement penalties when moving through terrain either so they become sanic fast relatively speaking on a number of maps.
>>719366450It's not normal, Boreale is a well-known incompetent commander that was given his position by a very bad dude in the Blood Ravens' hierarchy. "Steel Rain" as a tactic works when dropping directly onto an enemy's fortified position, but not out in the open and certainly not without knowing what the Marines deploying will be fighting once landing.
>>719362270>>719365635>hey this freelance Eastern yuro CGI psycho made some incredibly popular free advertising as a hobby that is hyper than anything we've made ourselves>should we poach him and pay him a reasonable commission relative to his native currency to do exactly what he's already doing for free with loose official guidance and then sell the super HD or physical versions or whatever to the fans who will happily do it as a donation box to see more?>no lol he's competing with the farmed out Warhammer+ koreajeet slop animations that barely anyone even bothers to pirate, fake doing everything you just said then NDA his ass and sit on all of it forever. also rerelease worse version of what he already made to salt the wound.What the fuck is wrong with Games Workshop? And don't tell me it's all the nuhammer for everyone HR trannoids, because GW started doing this shit before they/them who simply accelerated and made it even worse.
>>719364985Old fantasy orcs did, orks were always fungi but they did have 'urty bitz
>>719366995I'd say competition scares them but even with all these alternatives people still buy GW; guess they're just insane.
get dem stabby bitz
>>719366995GW's legal department is psychotic and nobody so much as attempts to rein them in. You'd be hard pressed to find lawyers as bloodthirsty as GW's. They even recently used an AI to scrape the internet for Warhammer content and automatically file C&D orders.

>>719356581>Imperial GuardLove their massed numbers, love their guns, love their machines. Basic infantry usually spams grenade launchers to stun-lock other armies and force a tarpit. If they can't build units, then they'll get obliterated.>TauUses kroot as meatshields while firin' they laz0rz. Incredibly good at using long-range sighting to obliterate other armies that are busy fighting something else. Also stupidly fragile and not very fast. Stealth battlesuits are bullshit.>NecronsWILL LOSE TO A RUSH 80% OF THE TIME. If they can survive a rush using their turrets and spamming Warriors they will de facto win the game unless the Necron player majorly fucks up a push.>Deldar>>719366205>Nuns With GunsGreat at breaking down infantry and vehicles, but severely lacking in long-range firepower. Their faith abilities, specifically Emperor's Touch, can immediately push the game into a landslide sweep. Unfortunately, faith takes time to build.

>>719354848I'm playing Grimgore Ironhide campaing and how the fuck I'm supposed to get anything ready for the arrival of chaos? I have to chase the Dwarves all the way into the Vampiric territory because they keep comfederating, and also because of that the Skavens come after the southern parts of my territory all while a fuckton of rebelions across my whole domain keep happening every 6 turns due to corruption.
