Game replays is not completely dead - there are some recent replays up there: m Pega (is that noisy? I feel like I heard that from somewhere) has at least uploaded a large number of replays from the Monthly Rumble Tournament 19. You'll want to download the script from this thread so that your game w...

Thanks! I'd heard of Soom before, but not Acra. I'll look for them.

I know the poll is closed, but I'm going to throw my support for the Ragener Alpha. Cuz this match was awesome to watch: m And even by the time I'd joined retail, I found it was difficult to find good replays with skilled RA players. It seemed like everyone either went LA or HT. So please take RA so...

I found some good RA games (though most not 2v2): Here's one with Tex vs Big Mathis (FC). Tex ends up losing in the game, nonetheless he demonstrates some really good gameplay. I unfortunately couldn't find a corresponding replay on gamereplays.org. m Here's an awesome one from forest radio: m Lucki...

Thanks guys, these are awesome answers. I like the range of answers given - I like having flexibility in playstyle (one of the reasons I stopped playing chess and started playing go), and it makes me feel better knowing that there are multiple approaches that work. It also seems clear that the reaso...

I found these: m m m They aren't a solution for nids or IG, but he uses a consistent build order versus eldar and executes them rather effectively. The last game shows Tex making a huge comeback after being down by 300 VPs. In general, I would suggest looking for replays by Tex/Texaneous. If I recal...

Hey Everyone, I've been going watching some replays and reading through the forums trying to get myself back up to snuff with the game. One thing that stuck out to me, partly because I remember how painful it was back in retail, is that I don't know how to adequately handle a double sentinel build a...

I feel like this should be a meme. I don't know how exactly it would work, but it should be done.

This worked for me. Thanks so much!

I tried to take a look at the script...it was a not-so-subtle reminder that I don't know much about batch commands in windows/DOS.

I don't see a shortcut installed. Do I need to start with the earliest version and work my way up to the newest? FALSE ALARM: My anti-virus software was blocking it from creating an icon. I needed to click "run this application with unlimited access" when I ran the installer to get it to c...

It's unclear what you are asking. Are you requesting fast tech builds? The video you linked had more to do with the skill of the ork player than specifically the fact that he teched straight to the deff dread. Forcing the heretics off the power node early and capping the rest of the map, combined wi...

Awesome, good to know. Back in retail, I remember I seemed to do worse and worse with RA as I ended up playing better opponents, and I just kind of gave up when I didn't have many role models to look to on how to fix up my play. Now that I'm coming back with a fresh perspective, and reading some of ...

I'm new to Elite - only just recently discovered it. In earlier versions of Vanilla, I used to enjoy playing the Ravener Alpha, but I found it harder and harder to find replays from better players as time went on, as it seemed all the good nid players went HT or LA. Likewise, I find very few videos ...
