>can't even whip up a few keys to give out to the parassocials and their audiences
Make you wonder what they did to it when that is the main business model today outside of rampant sirposting and bullshit farming.

>>718038512
If it did one thing and one thing only: That is to have mods not crash the game constantly, then it would've done a spectacular job already.

>>718039081

cool. reviewers are shit.

>>718039852
And they went for the "bland corporate publicity videos 1 week before release" strategy.

>potential to finally run UA at its absolute maximum of combined arms warfare without causing a house fire
It would finally become the game that it was destined to be all along.

IF YOU WILL NOT SERVE ON THE FRONT THEN YOU WILL SERVE ON THE FIRING LINE

God, DoW has the best voice lines of any RTS

if they just beef up the engine I’d be happy, Warhammer nerds are fucking insane and I can bank on one of them using that to the fullest advantage.
Ultimate Apocalypse and Unification are fine but the only thing stopping them from being prefect is the games engine itself physically dying from how much is added

I like the nasal voices of the engine seers.

>>718046371
I've seen an increased usage of the term "my beloved" ever since the schizo psyker started making the rounds.

>>718046371
I chose the irish pastor voice, and I regret nothing, his VA is amazing, same with the seer for the psyker. Pretty much all the Darktide reject voices are good.

Did Games Workshop back in 2003 fuck up by not letting Relic use the Ultramarines?

Instead they gave them an OC chapter that eventually hit Ultrasmurf status even today

>Instead they gave them an OC chapter that eventually hit Ultrasmurf status even today
Westwood did the same thing with Dune back in the day and people never heard the end of it. You mention the House Ordos in the wrong places and you might get pinged for it. 40k shines when you are allowed to have fun with it homebrews and all. Having to constantly stick to a mandated script is boring as shit in a fictional universe teeming with possibility. It's when you start diverting on calcified standards set in stone is where people start getting shitty with you. Nothing says that you can't do silly antics with your own OC without good reason and certain degrees of restraint.

>>718049072
Blood Ravens can backflip in Terminator armor. Can your OC chapter do that?

>>718046503
I don't like the gay knights but that game was fun until it got way too repetitive. Also probably the last high production value 40k game you'll ever see without woke shit infesting it.

>>718049317
Wouldn't have done much. Blood Ravens are Word Bearers.

>>718049392
>Obsessed with finding 'the truth'
>Lorgar was a psyker

And to top it all off Kyras gives a speech that no Thousand Son ever could, since oration was the Word Bearer's speciality. The Blood Ravens are Lorgar's boys, regardless of how much seething it causes.

>>718049605

Based, exactly what true fans of the game wanted!

>>718050064
That's a lot of words
Unfortunately for them Eliphas literally spells it out for you in the Chaos stronghold in DC. The Blood Ravens are his brothers, and he intended to show them the truth.

>>718049605
Why didn't the emps just tell Lorgar the truth?

>>718050293
I'm not falling for this bait, you're going to have to do better than that, wise guy.

>>718049317
the blood ravens are loyalist corvidae, they foresaw the burning of prospero and fucked off way before space yiffs got the order

>>718050319
>>718050319
The Emperor, in his infinite wisdom, thought that he could starve Chaos by removing its existence in the Materium, including telling people about demons, the Warp, and the Gods. He genuinely believed everyone would obey him unquestioningly because of his GIGA-AUTISM and could not understand nor empathize with Lorgar (or Magnus, or Angron).

Leaks on the 'cord

>>718049605
Debunked by Horus Heresy™

They're descendants of the splinter fleet who fucked off before the Burning of Prospero because their seers saw that shit is about to go down.

Outside of the Iron Warriors, they're the 2nd most numerous loyalists and James Workshop wrote them that way.

>>718050449
The "bait" is you pretending to not know that Space Marines refer to each other as "brothers" regardless of chapter, you dummy.

>>718050468
Horus Heresy isn't canon.

>>718050909
>religion gets rewritten by new people every 3 years

>>718038512
What changes does this game even need beyond adding support for higher resolutions

>>718050821
yep, they mentioned balance changes.
also while orkz were never quite as outright strong as eldar, i think they were just a bit too oppressive for their ease of use

>>718050909
Just like Catholics who still kept their faith after Vatican 2, 40k players who care about the lore after 4e aren't "real" 40k fans.

>>718050909
>nu lore
You have my condolences

>>718050938
Just like real life!

>>718038512
I predict it will actually be a good remaster but since it will still have some minor room for improvement, the reviews will make it appear average. people are very harsh these days

honestly, even if its just alright, im mostly just excited for renewed interest in the game plus any amount of pathfinding fixing

>>718050976
Vatican 1 was from when Constantinople was still a thing and wanted to keep all the roman and crusader shit - it needed to be adapted given the fact that Rome is dead

>>718050976
For me, it's 2nd.

>>718051054
I'm more interested in DoW showing zoomers what REAL 40k felt like before Space Marine 2. Yeah, DoW is supposed to be cringey and silly, but when played straight, it's amazing. Not like this gay 7e shit.

>pre creed
>pre marbo

nah that aint it chief

Dark Eldar are the worst faction right? I'm not JUST a retard right?

I miss when 40k lore was a setting for a game and not a marvel capeshit tier story for which you can buy action figures and post them on reddit.

>>718050849
So all named Ultramarines are Chinese and Indians?

>>718050849
Why do loretards always like this? They can put anything they want in these books, games and whatever. They want to put niggers in the games and that's concerning unless you're a nigger lover.

>>718051207
Dark Eldar are significantly more micro-managey than any other faction. So, yes, you're a retard, but on the other hand? Who the FUCK wants to play as these fags for hours to git gud with them? They aren't worth the time investment because even if you win, you still lost because you played deldar.

>>718051198

I don't think the world is ready for this level of autism again.

As far as I'm concerned Tau and Necron are still "weird new shit" added in by the video game and tare therefore not "real" 40k.

>now 64-bit
>camera can zoom out and rotate
>modern/grid/customizable hotkeys
>can edit hud/ui
>minor balance changes, mostly bugfixes
>movement pathing complete overhaul
>unit selection overhaul
>all textures AI upscaled
>models improved with new polygons/assets (the example they gave was the insignia on space marine armor is a 3D model instead of a texture)
>completely new lighting engine
>vision range on everything increased
>guaranteed 100% mod support (but no steam workshop)
But honestly the biggest selling point is the fact that there will actually be more than five players at least for a week before everyone drops it and moves on again

For me it's the mods no contest. Actually being able to play this game with more than 100 units onscreen would be legit.

>>718052046
I delivered a similar autism rant in public once and it was a genuinely cathartic feeling. I know I lost all social credibility, and I know by the stupefied looks on these SM2-playing retards that they didn't fully understand the lore I conveyed, but it still felt good getting it all out.

Dawn of war looked insanely good for it's time, compare it to other RTS of the time, Warcraft, AoE3, AoM ect. I remember when I saw the dark crusade intro and thought it was a fps game.

For who but a monster could so cruelly and callously slaughter a man, a mere mortal that had no chance of surviving the challenge that he, bearing the flame of the ever-burning human spirit, declared in defiance of Chaos, and for the love of his Master? The Emperor did not even know the Guardsman's name, but his fellow soldiers did. Even now, they whisper his hallowed designation not as a comfort, but a reminder to everyone who lives, fights, and dies for the Imperium what their responsibility to their race is: Ollanius Pius. For only in death does duty end."

I mean the murder of sanginius itself serves as a point of no return for Horus. It doesnt make sense if his own son's death doesn't open the Emperor's eyes and the death of a guardsmen on top of it to do it.

>>718053640
In the original fan-canon the Emperor was deeply hurt when Horus was lost, and presumed that Horus was also finally feeling regret for his actions after taking Sanguinius' life. It wasn't until Horus slew Pius that the Emperor realized Horus couldn't feel remorse anymore, because Pius posed absolutely no threat to Horus. There wasn't any humanity left in Horus, the Emperor had to finally accept that his grand vision would never come to fruition, and it was that loss of hope that gave Horus just enough of an edge to mortally wound the Emperor before being unmade.

Dark Crusade retained a distinct loyal playerbase for their grievances against SS involving the flying units. In fact, DC was sometimes easier to find multiplayer games for because SS's playerbase got split up between 3 different mods. It's generally accepted that SS only became retained players because of the new races and that it was just the latest thing. Your comment is not only disrespectful but lacking knowledge. DoW is one of very few games where the playerbase DIDN'T mindlessly consume.

>>718038512
eh, the original still looks fine so there's no real reason to buy it

i think they were genuinely meant to be Word Bearers in the first few games but then a bunch of external stuff like BL meddling and the Horus Heresy made them Thousand Sons instead
I kinda prefer them as Word Bearers but it doesn't really make much of a difference, they're their own thing now so who they descended from 10,000 years previously isn't that big of a deal

>>718055980
The multiplayer balance was probably the worst in DC. As bad as flying units were the armies were probably the most balanced overall in Soul Storm. DC had the best campaign, though I have a soft spot for Winter Assault since I'm a Guard fanboy.

>>718056148
pathfinding fixes and stability with mods are worth it alone to me, slightly better visuals plus minor balance adjustments are a cherry on top

That's the tradeoff of having air units. They are very powerful and effective but they are fragile and require proper planning. Asymmetric gameplay in general is fun and you brainless gookclick afflicted retards are the reason why new RTS games aren't fun anymore.

Is barebones and retarded. Mortal enemies like Skaven and Dwarves become best trusted friends because they both also fight orcs. And diplomacy is limited to "lets not fight, feel free to come over, lets not fight (and declare defensive wars), lets not fight (and declare offensive wars". There's no military contracts, no resource or item barters, no coalitions, no spies and no diplomats. Region trading is busted too, you can empty AI's treasury, have it break all alliances, make peace with you and have it declare war on your enemies simply by giving it one backwater settlement with Military building (you conquered said settlement from him the previous turn)

>>718058330
well yeah i agree there is more nuance but i dont think rts as a genre needs more nuance. ironically I think this adherence to macro shit is what killed rts in the first place. we needed more tightly designed blitz micro style things like starcraft, not wargames broken arrow tism imo

like for example, i think star craft 2 has a great amount of nuance and disruption without needing the soldiers to have latrines and sewage systems you can disrupt to flood their base with caca to give them a dysentery debuff. yes that would add nuance, but in a game already filled with lots of decisions to make every second, the addition of a mechanic AND therefore another method of disruption as well, just feels like stacking too many variables on top of each other at a certain point

Humanity is the good guys because the galaxy is in survival mode. The bad guys are Chaos, Tyranids, Necrons, Dark Eldar, and Orks. Humans, Eldar, and Tau are just trying to survive, thus they inherently cannot be the bad guys in this scenario. Each species must be on the same page else they risk extinction due to fracturing over ideology and weakening their race. If the galaxy was just Humans, Eldar, and Tau and each race continues their current practices, then yes Humanity and Eldar would be the bad guys because at that point there's no reason to be an aggressive immoral supremacist since extinction is no longer a threat.

>>718062569
>Humanity and Eldar would be the bad guys because at that point there's no reason to be an aggressive immoral supremacist since extinction is no longer a threat.
Epdar have zero reason to be aggressive. They live in floating utopian ships and their main goal is protecting worlds their predecessors terraformed into paradise worlds.
Even at its height of horrific debauchery the Eldar Empire still kept almost entirely to itself. Other races coming about and achieving space travel were looked at fondly for the most part, including earlier Humans before the DAOT.
Eldar would 100% share the galaxy with Tau and Humans, but not with the Imperium.

Wrong.

He ordered Lorgar to stop worshiping him after a 100+ years of the Word Bearers conquering worlds in his name as a god.

Lorgar was also Patient 0 for the case of "you can combat Chaos using a different religion" though the Emperor would've already known that thanks to Catherics (Catholics) doing exactly that. Reminder that at least in two instances is it shown that Christian prayers work better on demons than praying to the Emperor.

>>718063651

No, he told him multiple times before that and Lorgar always chose to ignore it. He told Lorgar he isn't a god and there is no such thing as gods, which is objectively true. Lorgar was always coping with his "I only ever wanted the truth", because when he was presented with the truth, he fucking broke down. What he wanted was someone or something to venerate as god, because he is fundamentally psychologically broken. So instead of accepting a harsh truth, he chose a more comfortable lie to lose himself in, even if that meant destroying everyone and everything he may have ever cared about and dooming all of humanity and the galaxy.

>>718063808
They literally did. For 60 million years the Epdar owned the Galaxy and they freely let other races rise and flourish.
Even when DAOT Humans were being expansionist assholes the Eldar opted to not destroy them since they viewed it as Humanity going through adolescent growing pains.

My body is ready.

>>718063974
>He told Lorgar he isn't a god and there is no such thing as gods, which is objectively true

They don't. They call themselves gods, yet they quaked in their boots in fear at what the Emperor, himself very much not a god, could do to them. Ultimately, they are pathetic bottom feeders that got too big for their breeches. And that's the shit Lorgar worships. Food for thought.

They honestly should. Imagine how scary it would be if they shot spores inside girls and then mini-Orks burst out of their abdomens like in Aliens.

>>718063974
>He told Lorgar he isn't a god and there is no such thing as gods, which is objectively true.

It's not, though. At the very least the Christian God is real, since it's shown several times that praying to Him works on demons much stronger than praying to the Emperor.

>No, he told him multiple times before that and Lorgar always chose to ignore it.

This is stated in ONE place. Literally every single other source claims otherwise. And it would fit the Emperor's usual routine of ignoring problems until they exploded in his face (Angron's rage issues; Curze's psychopathy etc.)

>>718063992
Anon, it's shown in "Priests of Mars" that DAOT technology blows everything the Craftworld Eldar have out of the water, including completely ignoring all their cloaking technology as if it wasn't there.

i'll be playing it for the first time, but im not very good with rts and remembering keybinds

>>718064545
Just play the campaign and enjoy watching little men kill each other BROTHER

>DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?

>>718048873
Blood Ravens are waaaay fucking better than Ultramarines, honestly the best colour scheme of any Space Marine chapter since the more muted colours make them much more "grimdark" than Blood Angels.

>>718064073
>>718064447
Craftworld Eldar aren't the Eldar Empire.
In Valedor it took en entire Seer Council to activate an Eldar Empire weapon because a lone CWE trying it would have immediately attracted Slaanesh's direct attention.
Eldar are much in the same tecunological situation as the Imperium is compared to the DAOT; neither CWE nor Dark Eldar are capable of utilizing the old weapons of the Empire since the former have to show psychic restraint while the latter intentionally gimped their psychic powers over several thousand years, and EVERYTHING the Eldar Empire did was psychic in nature.
At their height the Eldar could think entire stars in and out of existence on a whim. They were already on Earth as early as the 1600s, and likely early, purely because they considered it fun to be tourists. There's even a Webway Gate on the Moon itself.
If the Eldar Empire wanted Humanity dead, Humanity would be dead.

>>718063584
Needless redesign and changes are even more retarded.

Seriously, fuck eldar

>>718074868
If you ever want to see some of the behind the scenes shit go give the dawn of war player's guide a look. Some of the values for eldar units are obscene.

>>718075363
what does unit mass influence

>>718076458
How easy it is to be knocked down/moved by weaponry. At 90 the fire dragon is too heavy to be moved by anything so they can run across minefields, through whirlwind strikes etc without being kmocked down. This was a change made in DC iirc because eldar players were loading falcons with dragons, jumping into bases and melting them (only celestians do higher building damage) so the counter play was to lay minefields around your HQ to stop the dragons from shooting with any real effect. Eldar players bitched so relic patched them to be PHAT so this stopped working.

>>718074868
But I just bought my first miniatures and they're Eldar. I just really, really like Howling Banshees.

They should add DLCs that complete the army roster up until the 8th edition and add the Tyranids at the bare minimum although I won't oppose adding the other Imperium/xenos faction and splitting Chaosniggers off into 4.

Spess Mehreens get the Thunderfire Cannon, Vindicator, Stormfaggot gunships.

Eldar get more aspects, Harlequins and grav vehicles.

Orks get squig units and other stuff from DoW2 and DoW3.

Chaos Space Marines have an Undivided branch, Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch subfactions. Also give them the Heldrake.

Special reskins for all known loyalist and traitor Spess Mehreens in Army Painter.

>>718081235
It's almost painful to see what could have been a significant turning point for AoS become another wreck for the dumpster due to GW mandating MUH MODEL SALES above making a proper game.

>>718059870
I wonder how Spess Muhreen fans cope with the fact that a Space Marine needs all that magic-science and like 200 years of training to match a single Ork Boi that was shat out of the ground last week.

If it's not out in 10 min I'm going to sleep

Holy shit its out, baneblades looking good

>>718082679
did they finally add melee combat to this Men of War mod?

>>718082797
It works in pvp no problem, the AI likes to pause for a second or two while closing in though. Devs say they are improving it for the next patch

It's out!
