I learned most of my technical this and that from the official Relic forums.

There's also a bunch of other places that you can find info on.

You may also want to know that warlocks can do a bunch of other things too, like entangle. If you want some squad to stop running around or wanna stop a possessed squad dead in its tracks, research entangle, then have your warlock cast entangle on it and it freezes in its place for about ten seconds.

Then you can have a reaper squad shoot them up.

You can also freeze ranged units like marine squads. If they happen to be facing away from your troops, they can't turn around to shoot back.

Too bad seer council can't use that ability too

Anyone going to be around in about 2 hours for a game?

Present.

I'll be there, this time for sure!

Aye aye, Cap'n!

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-08 07:27pm

Well by some luck I got on the "early" train home, so I'm ready for a game! I'm told thirdfain needs half an hour - anyone want to play a quick game until then?

Edit: Or rather no thirdfain again tonight

I'm here.

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-08 08:26pm

More, More people must join! Com'on you lazy Space Marine people - YOUR EMPEROR DEMANDS YOU FIGHT!

Edit: com'on, come to Ultima Segmentum - you know you want to!

Update: We are both AFK for a few minutes, eating

Be right there.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2005-02-08 08:49pm

Bah. I'll be a few minutes; Dawn of War is insisting on running minimized and won't come up. I need to restart.

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-08 08:57pm

I'm back - JEdi?

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-08 09:07pm

Rogue, I thought you said you were rebooting your machine, not reconstructing it!

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-09 05:00pm

Again, I'll be home between 7:30 and 8 est, hope some people will be around to play

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-23 10:33am

Arise, my beauty, I have need for you once again!

Sorry for resurrecting the threat, it's only been two weeks, so I figure it isn't that bad of a thing.

Anyway, does the SM commander (hero) have some sort of stun ability that goes off on its own (like the farseer's psy attacks)? Whenever space marines "trap" my farseer I seem to lose control, she'll be selected, but can't move, won't attack - just plain dies outright. Anyone know what's actually happening here?

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2005-02-23 10:58am

The Captain has a Thunder Hammer (well, Daemonhammer technically) so yes, he stuns whenever he hits.

Same thing applies with Assault Terminators; which is why it's wise to keep for example, Bloodthirsters away from them.

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-23 11:53am

Ahh, and I thought the SM hero just did a lot of damage. Ah well, just gota kite better

Interesting note: Force Commander + Librarian = Dead Avatar or Bloodthirster.

People have told me that yes, that does happen.

Anyway, tonight might be a little late for most people, so I might try playing tomorrow.

On a sidenote, I've started playing DoW online again after a bit of absence. 5 wins out of 5 games. Sweet.

Well last sunday I played the single player and found that the heros always come back, so I just sent the two of them into the avatar over and over again, and they didn't even come close.

You forget one thing:

The Force Commander at that point has a power sword, not a Daemonhammer.

Dammit, for some reason the battle records in my new account (12/6 wins/losses) just reset themselves to zeros. What the hell?

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-02-28 12:56pm

There's a message at the top of the screen when you log into gamespy, says something about losing stuff if you don't play at least 1 game per week or some such nonsense. Could be the reason.
