Re: Noob needs help

Hi guys, I'd consider myself a veteran CoH 1 and 2 player and played a lot of DoW 2 when it was first released on GFWL. I just recently started playing Elite because I didn't actually know about it earlier, else i'd have been playing it a long time ago! I'm having problems with actually learning th...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

This chart is amazing. Thank you very much. Here are my correction suggestions: Tyrant Guard deals heavy melee damage with splash. Noise Marines deal flame damage as well as piercing damage. Inq. Operatives need the decorator from shotgun scouts/catachan devils as it is the same damage type. Guardi...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

My only problem with this is that I think you need to substitute the word "HP" for "Cost" as Tacticals certainly don't cost 1050 of anything, but I'm pretty sure they start with 1050 HP. Good point - tnx. Changed. I started by referring to each individual soldier as a unit at fi...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

I showed the chart to a (new player) buddy and he thought it seemed a little overwhelming. I thought this might help:

Tnx Riku. Fixed!

I quickly checked the About page and saw the reference to the 2.3.0 change log and was a little too quick off the mark. Should've checked the Download page instead.

Re: Army overviews for new players.

Thanks again, Windu! Ok, I've updated the chart to hopefully correctly reflect the current (2.3.0) version of Elite. As you can see, there are just a few decorators I'm still missing: ⋅  Avatar & Great Unclean One (Unique I suspect but if anyone has the decorator PNGs for them like the...

Nice work! I haven't had time to read it yet as I'm late! But good effort! Look forward to checking it out later. Cheers.

Re: Army overviews for new players.

The thing I could use the most help with is the decorators as that information is not in the codex. The way I've got them so far is to play as each faction and build each unit in game which is tedious and time consuming. So if anyone can help with that, by either describing it here or posting a lin...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

Grey Knight inteceptors and Purgation squad tiers are different. Appreciate the heads up and just checked the codex for reference. Grey Knights (and perhaps others) have had significant changes since I played last. I see that model names/tiers have been adjusted and perhaps also balance changes to ...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

Here you go welchy. As requested in your PM, here is the latest version of the chart that I made. As you can see, it's still incomplete and missing the blue 'type' icons for many of the models and a few other stats (e.g. Plague Marine costs) that weren't available when I made it. I haven't made a le...

BUG [v2.3.1 H2] Webway usage cancels auto-reinforce.

I've noticed that units that pass through Webway gates get their auto-reinforce setting turned off! This is rather frustrating as when I look to bring these units back out on the field, I notice that none of them are reinforced and I have to manually go and check each one again which, apart from tak...

Re: Army overviews for new players.

I'm still too green to contribute to the text but I cobbled together this quick summary chart to help me learn the units. As I'm picking up Eldar first (and my buddies are learning the other factions) I've only included these 4 so far. The in game unit decorators are helpful to see what sort of atta...

Does ELITE replace or add to the standard DLC?

I'm just getting into DOW2 and doing it exclusively with the ELITE mod. Relic's DLC seems to come in 3 flavours: Rack Packs, Hero Wargear and Skin Packs. Do any of these work with ELITE? I'm planning on playing ELITE exclusively and if the mod overrides the DLC, there is obviously no point getting a...

If you want some tips and guidance find me on steam I don't mind playing a few times with you to teach you. Then we can record my games on twitch and it will benefit others. Thanks!

Re: Army overviews for new players.

I don't know the community and have no idea who could write the information but there's got to be some active die-hard vets out there, no? What about the mod author(s)? I'm starting with the Eldar and this is the best information I've found so far but does not take the Elite mod into consideration. ...

Army overviews for new players.

I'd love to see brief army overviews added to the codex for players (such as myself) who are not only new to DoW2 and the Elite mod, but also to the Warhammer 40K universe in general. What I'm looking for are defining characteristics (pros/cons) and, in general terms, how each faction compares to th...
