Lets point out the obious here. Why they are so expensive to reinforce? They cost less than any Terminator variant, they are much fragile than any Terminator variant, they even do less damage from their Storm Bolters compared to SM variant (30.71 vs 33.87 dps) so in short, pretty much Chaos version...

No I don't think this thread has much value so far to be honest. I don't see how that would make unprovoked personal attacks ok though... Apart from the shitposting I think this thread, and other Antandron threads, have the value of being topic/thesis+reason+data. That is 100% more value than other...

Hello. Im relatively new to Elite mod , recently ive picked up playing OM , but however after some time playing (bout 5 matches?) , ive run into a problem. im fine when im fighting armies such an IG , But when it comes to more swarmy armies (Tyranids and Orks). I Seem to be in a situation which i j...

In other news I went through all the 2.7.2 games of IG vs Eldar where both players had a rating of 1300 or more, with an exception made for Lomors. ROFl with 28 of those 54 games being me you may as well say you analysed my games rather than IG vs ELdar :P And I am a part time nub And that's a MVP ...

I'm looking forward to play again! Thanks for putting this up, Hesus!

[...] No because the game is asymmetrically balanced and bad MUs do exist. Though I very rarely see people adapting. Vs IG you obviously need to go triple terms -> BSWB -> venom + zoan in T2. Yet I still see horms with upgrades, 2 terms, ravs even and sometimes Tgs in t2! Bizarre. Or charge on the ...

If you can be patient for a little while longer: Adila is working on a How-To document for each race which is compromised of high-level players‘ input on how their respective main race has to be approached mechanic-wise and matchup-wise. Iirc it will also have a paragraph on each races hero. It wil...

On a different note though I do think encouraging small re-balancing of all the none-die-last heroes so that they are still balanced in spite of being cheaper to buy back would be a good call. It's just a little more 'fun' as random leader wiping is unnecessarily punishing but it still gives some r...

Ok. I am persuaded. Seriously didn't see that coming. One post before this one I thought: "It seems like this Yabbaman creates a thread with a question and then continous to argue his point without taking into account all the good arguments presented." Thanks Yabbaman, you get one cookie ...

I just want to point out that due to the principle you just described a balance of 1v1 and 3v3 becomes rather hard if not impossible. Because which 3v3 game doesn't last until Tier 3?

So it is a balance issue. Thanks for the answer, I can see that sniping the leader in T1 or T1.5 would be a serious blow in this situation.

Personally I would prefer it to be same with all the leader upgrades. Slicker design.

Hej Elite-crowd,
How comes that some leader updates (NOBs, Aspiring champion) always die last and some (Exarchs, Tac sarge) don't have this feat?
Is there a balance reason for it? Mixed Armor getting the engine confused? I'd appreciate an answer.

[...] So yeah, if there is a "Balance Principle" we should use, it should be based on how we can make the best compromise between expected winrate, engaging gameplay, unique dynamics between different factions and nerfing Eldar out of the game. Didn't see that coming. Nice one. Greets Sch...

I don't see the problem in implementing Necrons without them being tournament balanced. People play gimmicky stuff all the time. Be it "the sheldt" in Company of heroes (infamous 3v3 grindfest map) or "the last stand". So I say let them throw necron warrior after necron warrior t...

My god...those Dark Eldar models...

Relic is actually one of my favourite gaming studios. They always make great games for how they designed them to be. The problem for DoW 3 was that what they made wasn't what anyone wanted :p https://community.dawnofwar.com/discussion/16159/relic-update#latest They abandoned DoW 3 due to low sales,...

The toxic community is something you can never get rid of, just have to let it go over your head. Find out who they are and ignore. But there is plenty of decent people. I concur with the first part: If you moderate a Forum or Discord Channel, the toxicity is ok. If not, it's just not bearable and ...

Damn you getting my hopes up! In all seriousness, it would be awesome. I always loved the style of the Necrons in DOW. Especially with the crazy Monolith build-up. Hey, maybe there will be an HQ-Update like they did for Titan Quest (after 10 years or so?!) or like with the brand new DLC for Total Wa...

What about DOW3?

Why do Sluggas even have a gun? Oi! Guns are for dakkadakkadakka! They are for having some fun while you run towards the enemy and choppa their head in.

[...] 3-) I think Venom Brood drop insted of spore mine drop is a bad idea. I mean I will always ask for genestelaers but that's not gonna happen. :( Anyway, I would say it can be changed for a Warrior Brood drop.

I like the firing modes for the Zoanthrope.

Hej there and welcome! I would recommend 1v1 because you can only blame yourself if things go wrong (or pat your back if they go right). That way poeple can comment on your games (just after the game or with the help of a replay). Combine these two factors and you'll have a pretty good learning oppo...

Stop playing 3v3.

I'm serious by the way.

See you ingame, mate.

Also Different Heros are a big factor in this.

Sure, but let's be serious: balance-wise every game should be geared towards 1v1 so I'm talking 1v1 here.

Thanks for your input so far!

I stumpled upon this post about Eldar Tier 3 and I got me thinking: How would you rate the different end games of the different races? Which race has a powerful Tier 3 worth fast teching to and which one is rather in the "nice to have" league?

Greets
Schepp himself

Good idea about the Sucommanders, Rostam. And I also like the Elyssian Drop-troops. But I think they should come on the field more like the Autarch. Not having jump-troops is a bit of the GI-Joe-IG-Flavour.

I only want infiltrating T2 or T3 Striking Scorpions. That's all.

Done and done my friend. Don't know if it's clear to you that your quality survey can only be interpreted by quality methods. I think a follow up survey that rates the different aspects of the games ("how important is the following aspect to you, ranging from 1 (not important at all) to 4 (very...
