Well, I've just added the Orcs to my demo.

Needless to say:
Orc power!
WAAARGH!

i hate orcs, they are to vunrable to SM heavy machine gun(bolters?). besides what amazed me is that the computer playing as the orc have a good AI i mean wtf? why did the developers included the AI for skrmishes in the demo?... so strange god dam it.

beside Rome:TW in the 21th and Warhammer in the 22th. trully great week for the rts fans.

The orcs are meant to be used en masse. You have so many Shootas and other infantry that the enemy just cant keep up with them all. They get swarmed. Sure, you take losses, but thats how the orcs work. Besides, once you get some Nob squads it isnt as much of an issue. They're pretty tough, and they rape infantry.

yup,, they're not referred as "orkish hoardes" for nothing, they fight best when there's a lot of them..

this is why i hate them. i like micromanagment like in warc3 . SM remind me of it with thier hereos and small number of squads.... this game rocks

p.s call of duty:UO out today.

[Fear]

if anyone still care ... the game is out.. i wonder how long it will take to reach israel.
i read some reviews say there are major flaws in this game
1. voice acting(wich by the demo is great)
2. music(there is a music track in the game?!)
3. the singleplayer is 11 levels long with 1 race available(Space marine only ).

i buy rts for thier single player, because i always get sick from rts multiplayer... im seriously considering to pass this game and buy total rome insteed.... though they sayed that if the game will be a big hit it will have a sequel....

some 1 in u.s already bought it?(uk release in at the 24th to this month)

The voice acting is a little cheesy, but we're talking about a setting with green space Orcs The voice overs are definately cheesy and dramatic on purpose.

The music in the game seems fine for background music, most complaints I've heard here is that people want a heavy metal rock sound track for the game.

I'm probably half way through the campaign right now. It's fun and competently put together, it would have been great if there were campaigns for each species but so far they've done a good job with the one campaign they made. It's about the same length as Homeworld 2.

its a simple Rts combined with simlpe tactics that any retarded can learn. very arcradish. the multiplayer alone worth buying, and if the sells goes well they will do expansions so... yes.. its worth/desrve the money and your time.
i just decided im going to buy this and rome total war ... will cost me but i dont care.

and the reviewers didnt complain on the orcs voice they complained on the CSM voice wich i think is sweet....

soon i will have this game... i think after "yom kipor"...
i eagrly waiting.

I loved the demo. One of the first truly fun and semi-innovative RTSs in a long time.

acctually i still play the demo from time to time, the skrmish is great. multiplayer on this going to rock.
