Dawn of War 2

Yeah, they started to exit then they just froze, they just got stuck in the world or something.

Wasn't a big deal, happened right at the beginning of the mission so I was able to just restart it. But it's made me a little wary of going into buildings now.

I'm really liking this game, much more than I was expecting from the beta. The single player is great.

the only units i've ever put in buildings is cyrus. i'd much rather tear them down than use them for anything constructive lol...

Haha, I haven't used Cyrus since I got the Assault Marine squad.

same with me..he's just too weak..and i don't like weak unit..kinda useless in battle..

In fact, Cyrus is generally considered to be over-powered in the fan forums. He can solo many maps and bosses, apparently, without taking a hit.l

Figures, the guy I don't like using is the most powerful.

Just got my Dreadnaught! About damn time.

I think you have to be really fiddly with him though, and use things like remote det packs to exploit AI weaknesses.

And who wants to arse around doing that when there is ASSAULT JUMP OF DOOM to use?

he can do that??wow..i'm shock..i'm not a tactical kind of player..i usually just charge into battle..so..i just assume Cyrus can't do something like that..

Indeed not. The thing is that once you have powered him up a bit he can:

a. Stay infiltrated for most of a level

and

b. Use his special abilities (like the det packs, remote charges, mines etc.) without revealing himself.

Which can be exploited to good effect, like one-shot killing Carnifexes.

I am glad you like the single player though, BF. It's very different to both a. traditional RTS games and b. what we might have expected based on Dark Crusade/Soulstorm, yeah?

Yeah, im going to echo what everyone else said.

Thaddeus > Cyrus.

I only use Cyrus for Ork missions, as the abilities that Ush mentioned come in very handy.

Otherwise, fury from the skies, etc.

For the Carnifex i use that rather sweet plasma cannon.

Having Thule meant that I pretty much ran out of uses for Tarkus' squad. So i decided, after what Ush said, to give him the terminator armour and see what he could do. I'm not wrong often, but when i am... Damn. A few minor Ai tweaks, and they'll be damn near perfect.

i've always wanted to ask: why on earth did you pick that as your username?

Yeah, big time. I really like it. I was worried about the small number of maps and having to replay them, but for some reason it hasn't bothered me. The maps are designed well enough so that you don't go the same route twice.

Need to get more into PC

😂

The whole of the Kronus references in the vanilla campaign point to a Chaos plotline next, hence most likely a Chaos faction next.
