Dawn of War Codex

Ever have a day in DOW whare u just want to slam your face into a brick wall and curl up on the cold cold ground and die ?


So i get my first match of the night , and IG player of course . Random pic gives me the APO, I do very well beat up the IG player deni him power ect. then t2 comes. I face plant my army into his lossing a alot. the VP counter is about 500-200 for me. then the basdard gowes into the " IG deffensive shell" he just fucking camps his points with a chimmy out ( IDK how he got it out that fast with the preuser i had on him ) then gets 2x stormtropers and manticore. Dread / 2x preditors / terminators / 2x plasmadevs / ASM upgraded to vanguards / preditor ( i was running out of ideas ok, and yes i got out 3 pred's total) i can't break him. finaly manage to win with a few VP left but the game left a soure taste in my mouth.



Then i draw eldar vs a really high win ratio ork player. again i am doing really well early on then he gets storm boys, and uses globals on them evrey fight to whipe or nearly whipe a squade evrey fucking engagment. i slam my head agains hard boys/ use your chopas all game , i lose.


Next game i draw nids up against the troll face basdard sorc . he gets rod of warp fire zentch and uses it like a boss. i lose t2 .

then i play a bud of mine , I draw nids again , he is playing eldar. Is a really close game T3 we have both played very well so far a great game alot of unit retention and i have saved enoughf for a SL. I start building the SL then he pushes with a few units. i see a opening and attack start to get his units down good then , eldritch storm + warp throw. Epic timeing perfect placment first time warp throw was used that game. i get back with my hive tyrant and 1 horm unit left to see my SL pop out .... i try but lose.

I take a break smoke a fat smoke have a beer come back, things have to be better now right ?

Nope i draw nids again vs a good ork player who gets out a standard ork into the pain boy build. it's a pain in the ass to fight but i have very good vp cover at least and am sort of holding power then t2 comes he gets a truck and slugas nob with pain boy / implants. 2x geenstealers + tyrant guard whipe in first fight with the truck on field. i just give up at this point.

I love this game i love this mod. U guys have done a great job with this mod and i thank u for it. I also thank the guys who play this game cuz for the large part this is the best community iv been around in a long time.

But some times i just want to fucking kill the next living person i see after some bullshit match i feel like i should of won easy but some stupid shit happend to ruin it.


ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG RAGGGGGGGGEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!


P.S. Fuck IG

it's worse when you haven't played the game in months, have been playing coh2, and keep trying to use the coh2 key bindings.

but yes, i know that feeling.

All the time mate...

Usually happens when I play 3v3 and lose after carrying my teammates for half an hour or so, or when my teammates do something ridiculously stupid like jumping ASM alone into 2 armies, at that point I usually just QQ, I'm a bitch like that. That's why I don't play teams, not to mention certain heroes in teams are just a little bit silly like the BC/LG/TM.

I still rage at 1v1 though. If you hate IG try playing IG vs eldar where the eldar isn't an absolute nub and so gets WG. If you're against a good eldar the sheer impossibility of the match-up will swiftly make you sympathise for IG, the same thing happens with the chaos MU. SM are hard too for IG, but at least it's possible to win engagements in t2 assuming an equal economy, that being said you're screwed in t1.

You might wanna consult a doc for that...

I agree with you on the "fuck ig" thing. In fact sometimes I will actually play IG in teams simply because I like inspiring anger in my opponents.

Thank you for this good bit of laughter. I have definitely experienced days like this!

Nonsense, he must have the blood of a proud son of both Temperus Maximus and Asura.

Capitalize on your gifts, SirSid, Seek out the warriors of Angrymar and join them in glorious conquest in the Emperor's name.

I have badluck brian games every day, so I definitely know youre feel. Like an ally over committing to kill units in a 20-20 vp game instead of capping and empty vp Just can't win anything today.

I know the feeling bro. Happens to me when I haven't slept well or something. Your reflexes and reasoning just ain't up to the task of facing a human opponent and you just get more upset with every game. I don't rage at this anymore, but I used to rage hard in the Starcraft days.

I never rage, unless my my team is losing, which is ofc always the fault of my allies or when I'm fighting against OP races like IG, SM, Eldar, Nids, GK, Chaos, Orks. Other then that I never ever rage.

I. Never. Rage.

I. NEVER. RAGE

NNEEEVVVERRRRRRRRRR AAAARRRRGGHH THOSE GODDAMN NOOBS AND THEIR IMBA OP ROLFLOL SHIT!!!!!!!!1111oneoneeleven

I can confirm that Max never rages.

Ofc, everyone knows that I'm like the ghandi of gaming, while everyone else is like a cross between Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Ronald McDonald.

If they ever get the licence back.

You see the License and all the legalities, they mean nothing. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY.

If for one second they can sit down and confirm that it can make money, they will soon make it. I suppose it will depend on how much money can be made and can the money be raised for the copyrights and so on but at the end of the day its all about money....

i really think its a certainty that it will be made, they developed the engine for CoH and made DoW2 and got the most out of it. They have this engine for the new CoH so again they will want to cash in, again PROVIDING the profit money is there.

Maybe a factor also is they have done a very good job with bringing as much of the warhammer universe to the gamers over the years BUT, because of this they will for sure have to set the bar higher than EVER before. Its possible this might be holding them back. IF they do it and its done right it will clean up.

PePPeR wrote:You see the License and all the legalities, they mean nothing. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY.

Licenses and Legalities mean everything.
If they cut a deal with a publisher not to give the license to anyone else for the next X years or games then there is nothing one can do.

Also " its all about money " isnt the greates argument for DoWIII in a time where RTS games aren't all that popular anymore and consoles dominate the market.

Right now we got SCII, CoH2 and Rome II, all fell short in expectations, for different reasons.

The development of Command and Conquer Generals 2 just got stopped a couple of days ago, during the game's beta stage.

The RTS (MMO) End of Nations was allready in open beta but is now getting re-developed into a MOBA / Dota clone.

I understand, but it purely, clearly is cash!.

To find investors, funding or whatever they will have no problem proving the success and history of the series. But like you said there is a few other games out there at the moment cornering the market.... so whats going to need to happen is they have to make a game that will stand out, plus they have to raise their game so high to beat everything they done before and widen the universe a lot more because we are tired of the old 3/4 races routine and then they introduce another........

EVERYTHING is just going to be an EPIC task. If you are a liscensee and a company wants to tag your copyright but you know it will be a sham, you are going to refuse right?. But if its going to be a success and above all gives great marketing prospects to you company then by god you will soon do it, even at a special price.

Again though, its all down to money firstly, THEN start the production. I dont think licenses and such is a big problem IF you have the right pitch!.

Hehhe nice responses guy.

The odd thing is that i ONLY rage at this game ? ?? ? IDK why this is, I play way more rage inducing games but for some reason once in a blue moon i just get bothered by lossing a DOW match .

Im a avid EvE online player, i have played for many many years. I have lost 8 mounths of work in 60 secounds. I have been ganked by my allies before. I have been robbed, griefed for mounths on end , lied to and cheated on.

But for some reason non of that pisses me off , just the way the game is. It sucks when shit happens but i don't get mad about it.


What is it about DOW that brings this dark sinister diser to alow myself to be filled with shear and utter hatred, over nothing.


Perhaps it has something to do with the Warp

You only get upset about the things you truly love.

In terms of licenses etc, you'll notice that of all the licenses GW have handed out recently none of them were for an RTS. Maybe nobody else wants to make one but it might be because some kind of early wheels are in motion for DoW3.

Wrong Thread Indrid^^

Wat. You and Pepper were discussing licenses/DoW3.

God damnit, I'm in the wrong thread!

Please ignore, then.

Hopefully in Dawn of War 3 they'll put a bit more effort into each faction, I found it really annoying that they left out combat knives for marines, the possibility of combi-weapons and the iron-clad dreadnought, plenty of other things to list that they left out though.

Hopefully...

If I'd had to guess I'd expect the commander systhem from CoH2 to make an appearance in DoWIII.

Both Franchises built alot on top of each other.

Like, you maybe pick a commander ( like a Force Commander ) and then Chapter Tactics ( like Iron Hands ) that add globals, units and upgrades ( global repair, Ironclad Dreadnoughts, etc )

This way they could cash in with alot of DLC.

I found it really annoying that they left out combat knives for marines

I would like to see it since tactical marines and chaos marines are strong in melee combat. And catachans is the most funny melee unit. They beat power armored space marines just by punching them with their shotguns... Looks pretty retarded

I rage whenever:

I play against a derpsider exarch
I play against a lictor alpha who can still snipe scouts in retreat
I play against Maestro Cretella
I see more than 1 sentinel on my screen (Lomors... grr)
I see catachans get away with 90% of their models with only 10% of their health remaining
I use inspire courage at the wrong moment
I fail so hard that my commander is only lv1 1 at the end of a 30minute 3v3

How did you know that?. To confirm I had to make a phone call, just off the phone with the head CEO and he said the ball is rolling just to let you guys know....

And to also to stop acting queer or they not making it.

Squad has 1 hp divided by 3 members?

DAMN CATACHANS.

Indrid caught this in one of his recent videos. HOW is that even possible?!

Are you complaining about Warhammer not being realistic?
