Warhammer Club

[wereguy2]

Yeah...

 

[Warhunter]

But now he has slowed down.. Because he has made around 3-6 models in 2-3 weeks.

 

[Warhunter]

anyone playing tribalwars.se? or tribalwars.net?

 

[HailFireer]

Nope. Is itlike treavian or bitefight?

 

[Warhunter]

it's like travian.com. But much funnier if you ask me. But i only playing on the swedish site tribalwars.se
on V3 and V7.

 

[Warhunter]

aren't anyone active here?

 

[HailFireer]

Dont have what to talk about ^^

 

[Warhunter]

hehe, anyone making any w40k map then?

 

[Crusad3r91]

I've restarted making my campaign

 

[Warhunter]

Do you have any beta testing or any trial version?

 

[Velmarshal]

Ooh that is quite a setback.

 

[Crusad3r91]

I don't have any beta testing or trial version, sorry... but I have some help now. ^^
One of the reasons because I'm so slow is that working on a WH40k with Warcraft III while I have in my eyes the DoW2 images makes me cry! xD

 

[HailFireer]

My project is being lazy. Only thing I'm doing is helping Misha with his campaign and thats about 2 hours of work a week.

 

[Warhunter]

hehe...

 

[Mechanical Man]

Crusad3r91, what images? Anyway this game is gonna be different, more on the large scale, especially with armor, that highlander* styled dawn of war with small maps isn't so much fun and dawn of war 2 apparently has even smaller maps. Basically in dawn of war I can't deliver DEATH IN THE SHAPE OF MY PANZER BATTALION!

 

[Warhunter]

Bigger maps are funnier.. :S

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

how annoying. it says dl steam. does that mean its multiplayer only or that it needs steam running while playing?

ps. my steam is not displaying any letters at all. just some blank windows.
f' this. i will just wait for the real thing.

 

[Warhunter]

That's wierd. And yes, the DoW II Beta is only multiplayer. I have played it and I think I also wait for the full version.

And it's impossible to play it whitout steam, then you must register an Windows live account too. And that's wierd.

 

[Velmarshal]

It's free and it's BETA what do you think, it shouldn't be weird?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

cant even enjoy the simple pleasures of 21st century life like gaming because of things like registration and requirement issues!!!

 

[Warhunter]

heh. About DoW II. It shud have been easier if they haven't used Windows live. It's enought whit Steam, that's what i think.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

steam screws everything up for me. my brother had to reset his com because after installing steam, all his settings and whatnots got screwed up. he also had the same problem of the letters not showing up. i will try windows live when the full thing comes out

 

[Warhunter]

I don't have any problems whit steam.. :S
But I like XFire moore. But I am using both.. Don't know why, maybe because I play CS sometimes.

 

[Crusad3r91]

To Mechanical Man: I mean that playing DoW2 and then go back working on the Wh40k campaign in WIII makes me cry for the graphical difference... ^^'

To the others: I'm not having any problem with Steam too... =S

 

[Warhunter]

What are your favorite sodier/hero/squad/Veichle unit id DoW then?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

assault marine. i like the chainsword and melta.
but i rather prefer the miniature painting ones better. more detail and variety.
is DOW 2 as detailed as the miniatures?

oh and i added a pic of assault marine

 

[Mechanical Man]

To Crusad3r91: who cares about graphical difference if I can attack and bring DEATH IN THE SHAPE OF MY PANZER BATTALION!

To the others: I won't touch DoW2 until an expansion feature Imperial guard will come out. I have an impression that game style and strategy will be similar to company of heroes. =D

 

[Warhunter]

Yeah, DoW II Is verry detailed. I don't lagg much on any game that I have. But when I run DoW II in high quality I start to lagg some, and on Ultra high.. then my data lagg alot! :S

btw, You Panzer Battalion seems to own every player.
And the game style is really like Company of Heroes.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Well, in DoW2 I got a 3 Predators PANZER BATTALION!!! =D
Not many, but better than the usual 2 in DoW1...

My favourite unit are... ow, that's a difficult question! I like them all! Well, when it comes to choose, I choose tactical space marines: good in hand to hand and effective special weapons: they saved my other troops against vehicles with their RLs many times. ^^
Talking about heroes, besides the fact I, again, like them all three equally, I usually play as Techmarine or Force Commander: I like playing defensive but I also like FC in termie suit! =D

BTW, imho IG is just what a Company-of-Heroes-Based-game needs... also, what do you think its heroes would be? I'd say: General, Techpriest and Commissar (but I also think that they'd add a 4th hero in an expansion... c'mon, where's the Librarian, Relic? =P).

 

[Warhunter]

I don't think that they add an extra hero to each race on the expansion, I think that they starts to finnish the rest of the races first. Maybe then they add another hero.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Well, with 4 heroes there could be the Librarian and, for Chaos, all the four Gods armies... but I don't care about it as long as they give me my IG. =P

 

[HailFireer]

So in Dow II you can chose betvean 4 commanders?

 

[Em!]

I quickly got tired of dow2, played it for a few days when i had time, but the game is way to easy and there are too strong counters. Playing eldar is usually always game win, the falcon beats razorback and the wartrukk without much effort, the guardians get grenades that usually takes care of tactical or devestators, banshees are good counter against heavy weaponry and vehicles, wraithlord gets brightlance so it pwn´s dreadnaught. Then theres the fire prism, beat a predator 1v1, hell of a survival rate. Warlock combined with rangers early game usually spells the end for most players. Not mentioning all the destructive abilities they get and finaly nids can´t do squat without the carnifex...elder used to be least picked race besides tau and orks...

 

[Crusad3r91]

Easy? Easy???? D=
Did you play against human players? Otherwise, which AI level do you use? DoW 2 isn't easy... it may be simplier than DoW1, but not easier.
And, about the Eldars... I've fought against them many times and, with a good weapons placing, good tactics and well cohordinated attacks you can own them like they'd do with the same things.

-Falcon VS Razorback? Who the hell sent a Razorback against it? Razorback is meant for infantry support even more than Falcons: that's because it has Smoke Launchers.
-Guardians with grenades? Good, SMs have grenades with Scouts. And they can be invisible.
-Try teaming up 2 heavy weapons teams... Banshees cost too much (and cost energy) while Devastators (for example) are less expensive.
-I'm not really sure about this but Fire Prisms are more expensive than Predators.
-Warlock and rangers... what about Apothecary and Scouts?
-Every race has destructive powers.
-'Nids must use commanders along with their troops. Using troops without commander support is useless.

My ideas and tastes, of course. There's surely some ironing to do with balance (for example some counters are wayyyyy too strong) but I don't think the factions are SUCH unbalanced... ^^

P.S.: in DoW2 you can choose between 3 commanders/heroes.

 

[HailFireer]

Lets blou something up.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

wow. i am jealous. I WANNA PLAY!!! \(T0T)/
damn you stupid steam for not work on my laptop.
but DOW2 sounds very vehicle based. i was hoping more infantry than vehicle.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Nah, it's more infantry based.

 

[Warhunter]

Yep, Veichles costs alot. It's, moore infantry than veichles.

 

[HailFireer]

Can we stop talking about DoW II. I cant play

 

[Warhunter]

Why can't you?

 

[Velmarshal]

Ah the crusad3r91 is right those terminators own, big time.

 

[HailFireer]

I told you milion times. My comp sux. He cant run DoW II. He can barly run Suprime Commander on everything low.

 

[Crusad3r91]

I recently tried a full Terminators assault (Termies with autocannon + FC with Termie armor equipped with autocannon + assault Termies):
PURE OWNAGE!!

 

[Warhunter]

I will try that. It sounds funny.

 

[Em!]

have played both against computer hard and online matches, and yes it is easy!, its a matter of opinion however, so don´t cry about it to me if you find the game to difficult.

 

[Em!]

Come to think of it, the original dow1 unpatched was also sort of like this, so i hope in future patches and expansion everything will change, cause its boring everyone can be countered and the counter is way to powerful, i´ve really gotten tired of the game already which is sad, me being such a fan of the warhammer universe.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Lol, I didn't say it was too difficult. xD
All I said was that, in my honest opinion, DoW2 is a good game and it's not boring. ^^
Like you say, it's a matter of opinion. =)

 

[Velmarshal]

Supreme commander is a screwup, big time.
The entire game consists of spaming units all over your enemy.

 

[HailFireer]

Yeah its cuz you played it 5 minutes. A tipical charge with a lot of units will kill a computer yes, but thry playing against a hunam player.

 

[Velmarshal]

I have played it on the net.
The game is dead there is almost no servers and all of them are 1v1 maybe one 1v1v1.
