And when you do, we'll be waiting. Last night was a blast, I could use some more good carnage. Oh, and to all of you bums who pulled a no-show *CHEWS ON PEOPLE*

Hey, I showed. You didn't.

You told me to go create a game and I did. Nobody showed up.

Er...Rogue? If you want people to join, it's best to post an IP to join to. Unless you think we're telepathic. I was watching for a post/PM for, oh, an hour or so, before I gave up and went to do other things.

I want to play, but only if it's against the computer... I need to get the hang of it some more before fighting a human opponent.

Hmm. I just played the demo and the computer pwnd me. I suck at RTSes, yet I love them!

The demo has a skirmish mode too, IIRC. Sure you can only play SM and Orks, I think, but better some than no practice.

EDIT: Speaking of skirmishes; try to win a T&H game against a higher than Harder skill computer on a tiny map like Battle Marshes. It is DAMN hard. No, I haven't won yet; not even close.

EDIT2: Yeah, the comps in this game are TOUGH, unlike many other games.

I want to practice with other people.

SOL then, since Demo doesn't have multiplayer capabilities.

We look forward to your joining our ranks.

Shinova, I, and Jedineophyte ran a couple games against the comps. They're good enough to make that a damn good workout, can even be too good if you're not careful. I'm game, give me a heads-up when you get the full game. Like I said, we'll be waiting

only SM's in the skirmish mode and all relics are replaced with stratigic points so none of the real kick butt units

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2004-11-16 03:06am

Yeah, sucks to be DP right now. The kick-butt units are REALLY kick butt. Like Krogoth kick-butt. No other RTS has replicated that same awe-inspiring feeling with its uber-units.

(We shouldn't spoil anything for DP

Though if you've played the demo mission, you've already seen---and suffered from---the Squiggoth)

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-11-16 03:30am

Well... The Space Marines kick ass in the early game, but a Squiggoth will absolutely pwn a Land Raider, as I discovered to my chagrin last night when one of our idiot players dropped and I went to try and recover his position...

I'd be up for a game; I've not played it much, and I've yet to decide what (if anything) makes a difference to combat results aside from 'have shitloads of guys with uber guns', but there's one way to find out!
