Weekend Dawn of War session

Instead of bringing back the old thread, I thought it'd be better to start a nice, clean slate of a thread instead. Anyhow, the weekends are in! I thought it'd be nice to try another session with fellow DoW players.


And I think I finally fixed that crashing problem. It seemed like my cpu was overheating so I cleaned the fan a little and left the case open. Haven't had a crash yet.


Now, I must first eat dinner. But afterwards, I'm free to host a game if anyone's interested.

Right, I'll be there when my virus scan finishes. It makes the computer lag like hell.

Well there's not much you're missing out on, other than me and Rogue getting spanked around by the computer. Multiplt times. :P

How? A properly outfitted space marines unit can take on almost anything (I prefer a fully upgraded unit w/ 2x plasma pistols, 2x rocket launchers and a sgt), backed up by Land Raiders or Dreadnaughts, as well as devastators late in the game.

And unlike most RTS games, their weapons emplacements aren't completely useless. Against AI, a properly layered series of defensive emplacements can kill almost anything.

It's early game where we're getting killed. :wink: We don't have Land Raiders, Dreads, or Avatars early game. :P

Still having problems, that and I have no TGA compatable graphics devices, although my brother says one comes with the camera he's getting me for my birthday/christmas....

Oh yeah, Rogue and I FINALLY won a game against 2 comps. FINALLY. After heaven knows how many embarrassing defeats!

But we won a nice one against 2 hard comps on quatra. Woot for that!



I have to sleep now, but we played a 1vs1 as a final game. My comp lagged like hell for some reason until I closed Firefox in the background. weird.


Oh, and I won. :wink:

Bah. I made a gigantic tactical blunder there at the end. I should have withdrawn rather than attempt to make you stop shelling. That gap was too narrow; my Dreadnoughts got jammed behind the Land Raider where they couldn't shred you to tiny pieces. >_< So you know, I was maxed out on both infantry and vehicles and was thirty seconds from going on the offensive myself.

Ah, you just missed all the fun (consisting mostly of Rogue and me getting our selves spanked by the comps :P We won once though)


In a little bit we might be able to play again.

Bleh, I was trying to get through the campaign on Insane. Didn't work too well; I keep getting overrun in Under Seige. Right, screw that. I'm up for multiplayer.
