I mean, if you use Eldar you still have a ton of BW style micro (since fleet of foot makes them able to outrun melee so easily). Eldar used to be micro race in DoW1 too. Unfortunately catapult squad costs the same as guardian squad so most people on the beta are just using eldar to play capture+camp instead of hit&run 
Capture and camp players are the easiest to beat :D. Flanking and Grenades aswel as jumpers punish campers hard.
The mobility that going for Cannons takes away is actually a huge disadvantage vs a quick player. Guardians + Plasma grenades ftw.

I know, but the game would be so much more interesting without so much camping

Been playing a good bit of this the past few days. It's a fresh change of pace, though I don't think I will buy it when it comes out. If the slow ass matchmaking sped up a shitload, I prolly would though...
Anyone want to play some 3v3s or 1v1s? I'm "Motiva" on Live

Yeah, I know what you mean. I went looking for a guide that listed what everything did, and I couldn't find one. Seems like every match against a good player, they're abusing something that I wasn't even aware existed. And sitting back in their base until they get it. I can't believe they thought that having 80% of the requisition being given by the HQs could possibly be a good idea.

Playing this game is like Teabagging a Belt Sander.

No, not really. Squads are very blatantly made up of more than one distinct unit, you're just forced to give the same commands to all of them. Saying that they're effectively the same as single units in other games is ridiculous, you have a much greater degree of control when you can give commands to every unit individually. It's far more than just a visual change.

This game has such horrible pathfinding... I even once had the Tyranid artillery unit just move a bit to the side and then to the opposite one and not attack at all for more than 30 seconds against a stationary target. Also, live randomly disconnects me in the middle of the game, when there is no lag or anything.

ok .... i played this game for about 20 mins ... and i think it sucks ;/ really , i have no idea what im doing , and its even hard to find games ;/ you have to wait like 10 minutes ... i had big hope in this game , and it failed to entertain me ... ;/
|
I played it for several hours.
It's fun, because it's another game, not the same like BW.
You'll fail if you try to play it like star, need to invade map positions (you can conquer houses or smth). and push slowly forwards. But it's kinda noobgame...

Well I do use Eldar and it's nothing like that. I wish it was though.
If you run away then press halt, they don't fire instantly. They move to the nearest cover first.
And of course if one man is stuck behind an obstacle when you run the WHOLE squad gets put into melee. So then the other 4 men move BACK towards the enemy they have just run away from!
The squad system doesn't let you sacrifice individual units for the sake of the squad. 1 in melee = all in melee and it's not exactly uncommon for units to become trapped behind stuff or squads to randomly split up.

Don't know how some of you guys are having trouble getting a game, takes me 30 secs max.
I'm playing random at the moment which is probably not the best idea as i didn't know what the fuck i was doing as well as reading all the different unit abilities, but i'm doing pretty well.
If someone is camping in their base, you should know about it and tech accordingly.
If you guys need any kind of help or what shit to get, then i might be able to help you
Also - www.dowsanctuary.com is the best site for it ; [ ]

So you played for 20 minutes, thats 1-2 games? How can you make a decision on a game you cannot possibly have grasped even the basic mechanics of yet?

It might just be a temporary crisis. I loved the game when I first played it, then after some games I started hating it and now after playing even more I start to think it just gets better and better.
There's still so much to discover, and we can't forget it's just a buggy beta, not the final product (and I guess not super close to it either).
|
The game is pretty boreing
|
So yeah, not a very good game. Shame, I was hoping for a decent RTS to kill the time until SC2. Guess I'll stick with RA3 a bit longer.
|
After playing with my friends tonight in 3vs3 I must say it is a funny game. But that's also how far it will ever go, it will be something to spend your time on until Starcraft 2(if it comes out soon).

ok this game is not very good o_O
fun for a few games tho -_^ play it now before u have to pay!
