Re: Relic says a new Dawn of War is a “strong possibility”
Shush.  DoW2's multiplayer had issues.  DoW2's campaign was ****ing awesome.  CR especially.  Retribution was less good because they tried to make it work for all factions, which made it short and hugely unsatisfying. 

As an SP-oriented person, I find the trade entirely worth it.
You also think Homeworld 2's story makes for a better Homeworld game than Cata's, when Homeworld 2's scavenger-hunt hardly makes for a good story for anything

[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Re: Relic says a new Dawn of War is a “strong possibility”
Agh. Most of the issues you mentioned are fixed in the elite mod. Mortars? Check. Whirlwinds? Check. IG can certainly hold the line in that. and tanks now murder infantry.

I admit/agree that annihilate is a broken game mode. I think that is more the result of the AI being awful though.
If I don't need to deploy multiple squads of Guardsmen to have a chance against a single squad of Space Marines, not interested. :P

That site also contains very little information about Elite other than unit stats, such as a changelog or an overview of the general changes, and it doesn't even have unit stats for the IG, Eldar, Orks, and Nids.

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Re: Relic says a new Dawn of War is a “strong possibility”
Depends. In the beginning Tacticals will out shoot Guardsmen every time. Late game, fully kitted out Guardsmen can just barely win. Maybe. They take pretty heavy loses in 1 on 1. You bleed a lot. also depend son if in cover or not or if either has any weapon upgrades. flamers are pretty nasty against Guardsmen. If you upgrade the Tacticals to Sternguard however, the Guardsmen are going to die. You will usually see 2 GM squads for every Tactical SM squad. Assualt SM will butcher GM as will most of SM t1 units. If you leave GM unsupported they will die every time. Where are you looking at? the full changelog is here http://www.dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3. The previous website got shut down because the previous host could no longer keep up with responsibilities. New one is expanding etc. It's slightly more difficult to find things. Banshees not longer kill everything on retreat which is nice.

Well, as long as a squad of Space Marines is appreciably tougher than a squad of Guardsmen that's fine.  IIRC in vanilla Ret a full squad of 12 Guardsmen after the Sgt. and Commissar upgrades had health and DPS roughly equivalent to Tacs. :ick:
