Necron monolith, home

Mechanicus was hilariously easy.

Beyond that, army customisation opened a lot of possibilities for more flavorful factions.
The Imperial Knight could have if nothing else been fodder for a better version of Ultimate Apocalypse. Or a fun campaign. Or a multiplayer mode.
The much reviled hero abilities still could have made unit choice a bit more interesting.
Even the fortifications and turrets might have lead to relatively interesting game modes.

I don't care about that, just about using an antagonist that is not Chaos. Again. And again.

Playing as Necrons in that Apocalypse mod for Soulstorm is so much fucking fun.

The thumbnail makes the mark look like a treadmill seahorse.

Who was in the wrong here?

Yes.
Some hero progression is FUBAR, specially the guard commander.

So I take it that if I want to try it out the Space Marine is a decent choice?

>can only build units from a 1 building

This had always bothered me back then.

can someone post the Pariah fancy kill animations? I have weirdly vivid memories of it

Why don't more games have sync kills?

>Last stand
Only few builds are viable and it gets boring very fast

Because its a shit mechanic that causes various gameplay problems

Iframes kill the balance and laziness.
I hate that total war basically scrapped them, watching soldiers doing fancy moves was so entretaining.

Randomly wrestles away control over a unit and as a result has to make it invincible or very, very damage resistant.
It's only good for style. Having said that with untold thousand hours in DOW1 and 2, the games aren't the same without it. DOW3 can go fuck itself.

My Necron kill team is basically the repo men for Trazyn

Blood Ravens are almost a charity compared to our shameless theft

>kill necron gentleman
>minute later he gets back up and continues attacking

rude.

Necron overlord gets fun and powerful shit way earlier desu
But every non Necron hero is sorta meh until level 10+

kill team is any good?

>Inquisitor, with all respect is exterminatus the only solution?
>Admiral Spire, it is said that heresy is like a tree. Its roots lie in darkness while its leaves wave in the sun. You can prune away its branches, even cut the tree to the ground. Yet it will grow again, ever stronger. Such is the nature of heresy and why it is so difficult to destroy. Some may question my right to destroy a world of ten billion souls. But for those who truly understand, realize I have no right to let them live. No sacrifice is too great. No treachery too small.

What is it with 40k and its voice acting?

What exactly is the point of finding a target point for a shot, which destruction covers the whole planet?

Ask DoW3
But seriously its because bombastic voices are a perfect fit. VAs can have fun because it will actually be in line with what is expected of them

I think it's one of those special torpedoes where they aim at the core of the planet to blow it up

>Tau Fire Warrior with pulse cannon kills a Lord of Change
lore-accurate!

Imperium fire control systems have no computers, instead manual pieces of shit called Cogitators like in WWI Dreadnought-era range-finding techniques.

Because they still need to be effective.

Cogitators are pretty good at their jobs in 40k. which is still space age. They just go about it in the most inefficient way possible.

I've gotten back into dawn of war thanks to the ultimate apocalypse mod. Anyone else use it? IG main here btw.

>tfw making a ton of artillery as IG
Ultimate Apocalypse made them really fun to comp stomp with.

>cover my lane with plasma turrets
>spam earthshakers in the very back
good luck getting my base fuckos.

It looks good but is terrible for gameplay, and strategy game fans typically value gameplay above all.

What about deamon prince

I'd say not every game has to be a sport. Really though, just having it as an option would be great to me. where fitting.

>and strategy game fans typically value gameplay above all
People actually believing this is what killed RTS,

Fuck you esports killed good strategy games

>"WE WANT A COMPETITIVE STRATEGY GAME!"
>Devs make a game that's basically a clone of Brood War with minor changes
>"WTF THIS IS JUST BROOD WAR AGAIN!"
>Players go back to Brood War
Same thing happened with multiplayer Arena FPS games. They all just end up clones of the most popular game in their genre which defeats the purpose of even making a new game when these people will just keep playing the 20 year old original.

necrons > other races

Khorn helped him

But I don't want competitive games. I just want fun RTS with a good campaign.

I couldn't get past this fucker.
Every single attack hit me no matter what I did.
