Man, the difficulty in this game really ramps up between normal and hard. Like, normal is super easy... and then hard is the large burly men and the reaming and the sobbing in the corner.
Defending a territory once you take it is damn easy, whatever race you are. But attacking the stronger territories on hard? Donno how you can do it.

I once took siege to the Necron tombs with my Tau on hard mode. After 3+ hours I had cleaned most of the map and was standing just before the Nightbringer, ready to finish off the Crons. Because I got increasily worried that my Tau Commander could die because of all Necron units started focusing fire on him, I placed him into my base (which wasn't protected by turrets, as I was playing Tau) with some firewarriors to guard him.
The moment the great battle against the grim Necron God started, the Commander was attacked and killed (it was still early into the campagain, and he didn't get the jump pack upgrade just yet) by a number of Heavy Destroyers and Flayed Ones and I lost the battle.
Now I don't know if this can happen on the other difficulty levels aswell, but needless to say I was extremly pissed.
Yeah, what is this Tau shit doing here! THIS THREAD IS ORKY!
Speaking of ORKY...
I'm Gorgutz, Da Mad Doc's Nob. I'm stompier dan da rest o da boyz, so I lead da WAAAAAAGH!!! in battle.
Dis is our little settlement, wit un o dem Grots standin around bein useless.
GIT TA WORK, YA RUNT!
Glarin at em seems ta do da trick. See how fearsome I am?
Lookie dat! I scared 'is friends inta workin, too! Look at wat bein STOMPY does for ya!
Dey were buildin a Boyz Hut for ma Boyz. Boyz may be tough, but dey like eatin. So do I.
Lookit wat a li'l food does fer da Boyz! 'Ere we 'ave dem Shoota Boyz, specilizin in DAKKA! Look at dem Shootas!
'Ere's de 'udder type o Boyz: Slugga Boyz. Deys good wit dose Choppas, and dey come in large numbas. Good fer choppin up dem Spikey boyz. Or distractin em so our Shoota Boys can DAKKA em up.
Mah Slugga Boyz were gettin territory fer da WAAAGH!!, when my Shoota scouts met dese spikey boyz. Lookit wat happens wen you mess wit ma WAAAGH!!.
I like gettin stuck in wit da Boyz, so I joined da Shoota Boyz. Dey were being dumb, so I had to straighten em out. Da Sluggas were comin up behind, after dey took more territory. We went out to scout out dat Spikey Boy base.
We stomped one o dose Listenin Posts. Da more territory ya got, da more Boyz wanna join da fight.
Den we hit dere base a bit. 'Cause no one likes 'avin Spikey Boyz poppin out o da ground. Dat's our job, and dey're stealing it! After a bit, we got bored, so we went back to 'ave a grand victory feast.
And victory GUNZ!! Look at wat da Grotz built!
Doze look fun. Well, we won.
WAT DE...?
DOZE STINKIN SPIKEY BOYZ! DEY 'IT US WEN WE WERE 'AVIN FUN!
Den dey ran afta we tankbusta'd dem. Useful Boyz dey are. Camera-shy, too.
Look at da water ripples. Leadin away from da settlement. We followed...
And den met dere Warboss: Da Chaos Lord. 'Ee ran away like da rest o dem. Ordinarily dere annoyin as a Grot stikin a knife up yer arse, but dis one was a coward.
AND DEN TREE MORE O DEM DEFILERS SHOWED UP!!! Dey pushed us back to da settlement!
We took some pretty 'eavy losses...
AND DEN DEY STRUK AGAIN!! Dis time dey took out a few WAAAGH!! banners. Dat pissed me off RIGHT good.
WAAAAGH!!! Den we got reinforcments.
Da Big Mek tore 'imself away from 'is Bitz and somefings to 'elp us out.
'Ee also brought some o my PERSONAL guard:
DA MEGA ARMORED NOBS!! Dey's really good at choppin and stompin. Look at dose power claws!
Wit dem helpin out...
WAAAAAAAAGH!!! [tiny]two[/tiny]
Dese Horrors picked da wrong spot to appear.
SHOOT! SMASH! CHOP! STOMP!
OI! YER A BIG MEK, NOT A GROT! GIT BACK 'ERE!!!
Mor STOMPIN and DAKKA.
Wazzis? More 'orrors? I wonder wat 'appened to em...
Note to Self: 'Orrors are dumb. Dumber dan a hair Squig.
More SHOOTIN, SMASHIN, CHOMPIN, and STOMPIN.
See above. I'm gettin knackered o sayin da same fing. It may seem un-Orky, but den again... I'M A WARBOSS! (kinda)
I fink it's gonna die in a bit...
WAAAAAAGH!!!
So, we won dat battle. But dose Defilers are nasty. So, we're gonna be more careful.
We also 'ave anodder choice ahead. KILL DA TAU, or KILL DA SPIKEY BOYZ.
Don't forget about ma Wargear! I got TWO choices now! Mad Doc Teef has da list someplace...

I sez we kill 'dem spikey boyz and show 'em wat it's like ta mess wit' da ORKZ
Get your boy some fasta legz and a big claw.
He big and tuff as it is, but what kinda leader aint the first in battle?
The non-ork kind, that's what.
As for which direction to take next, it's clear that none of the available option are going to provide a proppa fight to get the blood up, so it don't much matter if ya want to crush the spiky boys or the shooty boys.
Course, since ya gonna crush them all eventually...
I empathise with The Imperium. I fucking hate The Orkz. They are one of the most annoying character sets I have ever known, and Dawn of War's horrendously bad East London accents are the stuff that would get you stabbed even in the West End.
Purge the weak indeed.

YEH! We'll purge dem right snotty Imperium boyz. And dey are pretty weak... just look at one o ma Boyz!
I'm considering starting up a new game of Dark Crusade at some point. I really want to play, but I still have tons of games from Christmas that I haven't wrapped up yet. Not to mention the fact that I've developed an almost compulsive disorder when it comes to playing CoD4 online.
Personally, I'm going to be doing an Imperial Guard campaign. Orks are fun and all, but the sheer desperation that is the Imperium of Man is simply too compelling to look away from.
EDIT: Hm. As soon as I start playing, I get a major glitch. IE: The screen becomes vertical bars of varying shades of grey. I'm gonna do some fiddling with the graphical settings, see if I can get it to work properly.
EDIT2: What...? It works fine on both lowest AND highest settings.

You guys are going to have to post a bit more, so I can safely post my update without tons of images for those of us using non-crazy posts per page.
I successfully beat them back once I pulled out Tankbustas.
Orks are by no means weak or short-changed.
THIS THREAD IS ORKYMATIC!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!
Seriously, ork-speak is the best

And the Restored Monoliths everywhere, after you complete the initial objective... jeeeeeesus.
Oi! Where's my pictures, you mangy grot?
Are there any pictures? I didn't see any with the update. To sum up, please more with the pictures?
Steam profile.
Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
I just got home from school. REAL update is coming.
EDIT: Because it's page 3. I'm gonna try to keep it to one update a page, mmkay?
EDIT2: It's gonna be awhile. Even after trimming it back, it's over 40 pictures.
EDIT3: Okay, I lied. Only 32. It looked like more.
I need a break before I go writing in Ork-speak. Because it's actually kinda hard...

I vote get Bigga Claws and Mega 'Eavy Armor. Who needs guns when we've got claws?
Never hurts to rip and tear and armor makes the Warboss look even bigger and tuffer. If he ain't dying, he's killing.
Also, let's show Chaos who's got spikier bits.
(How awesome is it that there's an actual "WAAAAGH!" button in the Orks interface?)

Dem spiky boyz put up a gud fight. I tink dey needs a reminder of what a real WAAAGH can do. Lets show 'em anudder stompin'!
I don't know what the orc wargear looks like, only played chaos so far in DC.
I'd go for the Horns and Gob myself. They give more attack bonus than the Power Klaw.
Purge the weak indeed.
I don't even know what that means!

YEH! We'll purge dem right snotty Imperium boyz. And dey are pretty weak... just look at one o ma Boyz!
As in, friend came over, stayed for two nights, and then there was a birthday party (attendance mandatory) tonight until late.
So, basically, you guys are going to have to wait patiently. Ha ha.
Oo\ Ironsizide
Oo\ Ironsizide
That my birthday is next week. And Goddamnit on a TEST DAY too. So my (long) weekend will be taken up by parties once more.
By cake and possibly presents for me.
And again, you guys are going to have to wait. Ha ha.
(At least I'm honest about not getting updates done. >.>)
I suck.
I thought I lost the DoW save after a few HD moves. Turns out I didn't. So I can continue.
I'll restart to vote for the next target: Tau or Chaos, to see if we can move the next update to the next page.
In fact just attack Chaos.
I therefore recommend you go after Chaos first.
Personally, I'm going to be doing an Imperial Guard campaign. Orks are fun and all, but the sheer desperation that is the Imperium of Man is simply too compelling to look away from.
Voting is closed. I be playing now.
EDIT: Hm. As soon as I start playing, I get a major glitch. IE: The screen becomes vertical bars of varying shades of grey. I'm gonna do some fiddling with the graphical settings, see if I can get it to work properly.
EDIT2: What...? It works fine on both lowest AND highest settings.
It is a mystery. I'll try the actual mission now.
