My personal favorite method is building turrets at choke points and maxing out my HQ buildings/tech so I start with relic units against their starting scouts. With Necrons this means building a lv3 Monolith fairly far into the interior of the map so I can upgrade it to an active one and just TP it into their base. Though if you want the map to go as fast as it can, build your lord and then stock up on flayed ones. Just run your lord into their base then drop a max pop of flayed ones on top of their HQ and go to town. HQ goes boom = quick win.

Dark Crusade I do like some things and hate some things Soulstorm the same.
I do like that Dark Crusade has the manual defencive set up, but I hate how short the campain is (to little number of terratories to capture). I like Soulstorms huge ariea in the campain but hate the crappy defencive machanic.

I have also noticed that the Sisters of Battle are 100% useless because there wepons do almost no damg with out a Confessers help.

Also the Dark Eldar have a verry nice way to take out the anoying Eldar base being build as meny Raider craft as you can and max pop on Warrior and Scorge squads, load up the Raiders with the Warrior squads and move them all under the Eldar base and jump in.

The Space Marines I just build 2 land speader tempests and once all my troops are built send the 2 tempests in and drop pod my whole army of Marines and Dredknots on top of the base.

The Imprieal guard all you need is 2 Leaman Russ tanks and 3 Basilisks. Move those under the base with the Leaman Russes guarding the Basilisks, Spot the Eldar HQ with your Field Command and 3 Earthshaker rounds will take it out (it would be technaly 2 would do it but if 1 Basilisk died on the way then you are still good to go).

I'm currently playing Mount&Blade: Warband, the cRPG mod to be more precise. Although, it provides quite frustrating experience for most of the time (damn precise archers and two-handed club-wielders), there's some fun in trying to kill as many enemies as I can with my Highland Claymore or Katana and barely any sort of decent armor. It's even better if team employs tactics during game round.

May also be playing Napoleonic Wars as well, in case if I stop being lazy and get my new credit card and put some cash on it. I heard it's like improved version of mod "Mount&Musket" where I had a lot of fun while playing with the regiment (clan) I was in. Some interesting tactics and tricks inspired by 18th-century warfare were there. Hoping to see some really interesting and immersive gameplay in Planetside 2 later on.

Damn you ice pick... I downloaded starfarer like 6 hours ago and I haven't stopped playing it yet. It is 7 AM.

Tarrin, I also love M&B what a great game. I don't know why more games do adopt its model for combat... I hope a big AAA game works off of what M&B has started soon.

Icepick, starfarer looks like the sort of game I would like... I constantly have a hankering to play Armada for dreamcast but I cant find a top down RPG space shooter that compares.

Some World of Warcraft here and there...Soon to start playing Guild Wars 2.

Other than that...eh Project Reality mod on BF2, some Space Marine with alittle Blacklight and Red Orchestra 2 mixed in.

I would love to try European Escalation, looks like World in Conflict and R.U.S.E had a baby...that was perfect.

Oh my, Project Reality, so many good memories, it has been awhile though. I tried Blacklight, initial reaction was "this is awesome!", but after about 3 hours it went downhill fast so I haven't touched it since.

Now I've been playing Ghost Recon Online since it's now in beta, that's a fun game. But uhhh... it's mainly been Hearts of Iron 3, which is on almost the opposite side of the spectrum.

Been playing quite a bit of League of Legends. Have a group of friends I regularily play with a few times a week, wide range of skills but all great people. Finally starting to land some decent Orianna ults, and I think I am finally starting to perfect my Jungle Yi.

Just beat the Witcher, enjoyed it, but oh my god, Witcher 2 is quite the superior game. Deep and immersive, the story and character building are much improved. Combat is much more complex, it isn't simply spamming Igni and swinging your sword around, that gets you killed real quick. Just.. awesome.

Also just pre-ordered Guild Wars 2. No beta access to it, but I enjoyed the first game, and I like a lot what I hear about what is being developed for the second.

KimJongLulz · 2012-08-16, 04:37 PM

Yea...BL:R...is...slowly becoming rather un fun.

BTW, GW2 will be nothing like the first one. And you can get into some stress tests with the pre order, they announce them here and there. After BWE3 I have to admit I enjoyed it...I hope I see a noticeable increase in performance now that i've upgraded to a quad core and windows 7. (as opposed to a dual core windows vista, which I used in BWE3)

I'd have to disagree! Guild Wars 2 is a bit different than it's predecessor, but I wouldn't say 'nothing like it'. There are a lot of similarities! A lot of the changes were for the good of the game, too.

There have been so many WoW-clones since it became so popular, and they've changed the Guild Wars franchise up a bit so newcomers wouldn't think that they're just copying WoW.
World of Warcraft went to the extreme with 'kill 10 rats' quests, and Guild Wars had a little bit of that, so they revamped the questing system, so now there aren't any 'kill 10 rats' or 'collect 10 rat tails' quests.

Also, GW2 is a bit more fast paced, with the run-while-you-cast, combo fields, and roll-evading.

They also added various races to choose from, which I love.

Oooh, one more. In GW1, as you know they had the dual-class system, but everyone would just pick "[Class They Want] + [Monk]", so they took out the dual-class and just gave each class their own healing spells.

Anyways, those are just the differences, there are many many similarities. I think if you liked GW1, you'll definitely like GW2.

I've been playing Dwarf fortress.
Because everything else is too easy.
And because it is a lot of Fun.
...
Also because losing is Fun. The same Fun.
