EDIT: Anyone who is interested in playing the Tourney, send me a private message containing the following:
- Your Windows Live Name
- Your Steam Name
- What times you are often available and in which time zone you reside.
Everyone is welcome to play and have a good time.
EDIT 2: I will compile a list and generally try to keep track of things as best as possible.
I can't stress this enough that everyone can participate. No matter how good or bad you are, it's likely that you will get a good time and learn something in the process. Even if you don't like 1 vs 1 matches.
Once there are at least 8 or 10 people assembled, I will make a separate thread for the tourney for ease of discussion. I don't want to do it yet because this is still an unknown item.
DAWN OF WAR II
What is this thing. Why am I here.
Sometimes we play this game. It's quite a fun RTS. Other times we yell about everything wrong with it. Your favorite race is terrible.
Races? What kinds of weird things can I play as Zen?
You get to play as humans on steroids, space elves, green soccer hooligans or something from Alien.
Let's run them down.
Stupid Super Steroid Space Soldiers.
Space Marines
High cost (now), high damage, high health. The Space Marines are the scalpel of the Imperium's vast might, sending strike forces of small size to wipe out armies of a hundred times their weight. They are the emperor's finest. Therefore, every loss will be more than ten thousand ordinary men. Use them well, and they will do great things.
A day in the life of an Space Marine.
+++++
0400 - Morning INSULTS - Led by the Company Chaplain the Space Marines BETTER GET THEIR PUSSY ASSES IN ORDER BEFORE I STICK A POWERFOOT SO FAR UP SAID ANUS THEY WISH THEY WERE A SQUAT.
0500 - Morning Firing Rites - The Space Marines engage in target practice with their personal and squad weaponry, awards and punishments are dispensed FOR BULLSHIT OR A LACK THEREOF AND IF ANY FUCKING SHIT FUCKER THINKS OTHERWISE TOMORROWS PRACTICE WILL BE A ROUSING GAME OF LICK THE CATACHAN BARKING TOAD.
0700 - Battle Practice - BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF SHIT WITH YOUR POWER BAT, OR, BARRING THAT, JUST BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF SHIT WITH WHATEVER'S AVAILABLE. AND IF YOU'RE TOO PANTS ON HEAD RETARDED TO FIND SOMETHING TO HIT THEN YOU BETTER FUCKING START BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF THE GROUND BECAUSE LAST TIME I CHECKED THIS PLANET HASN'T CONFESSED ITS SINS AGAINST THE EMPEROR.
1200 - Midday Prayer - ANY ONE NOT TOO STUPID TO HIT THEMSELVES PRACTICES SCREAMING AT SHIT. EVERYONE ELSE CAN GO SUCK THE APOTHECARIES DICK BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED ANY MEDICINE FOR THAT TINY LITTLE BOLTER WOUND YOU FUCKTARD.
1300 - Midday Meal - Normally local wildlife killed during the morning activities. AND BELIEVE YOU ME WE KILL A LOT OF FUCKING BUNNY RABBITS AND PEPPERS AND SHIT AND EAT ALL OF IT AND LEAVE NONE FOR YOU. BOO HOO, BITCH.
1315 - Tactical Indoctrination - THIS USUALLY DOESN'T TAKE THIS LONG. I'LL JUST PUT UP A BIG PICTURE OF THE NEXT THING WE'RE GONNA SHOOT AND SAY "SHOOT THIS YOU FUCKERS" SERIOUSLY, WHO THE FUCK NEEDS AN HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES TO DO THAT. PUSSIES, THAT'S WHO.
1500 - Battle Practice - SEE ABOVE IF YOUR NOT WEARING A NECK BRACE YOU INCOMPETENT LITTLE NIPPLE LICKER. WE HIT MORE SHIT WITH LARGER OBJECTS.
2000 - Evening Prayer - I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA. I'M NOT GOING OVER THIS AGAIN. FUCK YOU.
2100 - Evening Meal - A feast (by normal human standards) is provided by the Chapter serfs, and some Chapter Masters may allow alcohol to be consumed. FUCK YEAH IT IS. WE'LL ORDER LIKE A THOUSAND PIZZA'S TO THE PRETTY MARINES HOME WORLD AND THEN WE'LL STICK IN THE DVD'S OF BLOSSOM OR 7TH HEAVEN OR... REALLY HARDCORE PORN. FUCK YOU, LITTLE FAGGOT SHOW WATCHING SHOW WATCHERS. GO WRITE IN YOUR LIVE JOURNAL.
2130 - Night Firing Exercises - WE SPEND MORE TIME. HITTING MORE THINGS. WITH LARGER OBJECTS. FUKKEN DUH.
2315 - Maintenance Rituals - FIX YOUR SHIT OR I'LL GRAB A TECHPRIEST AND MAKE HIM FIX YOUR SHIT. ONE OF THOSE CLAUSES IS LITERAL.
2345 - Free Time - Space Marines are permitted this time to reflect upon their duty to The Emperor, however many Chapter Masters regard free time as a frivolous waste, and a dangerous distraction in the extreme. EXCEPT WATCHING BLOSSOM. FUCK YOU.
0000 - Rest Period - BUT YOU BETTER NOT SPEND FOUR WHOLE HOURS SLEEPING. IF YOU DO YOU ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH AND TOMORROW YOU GET THE FIRST CHANCE TO PLAY PIN THE TAU ON THE CARNIFEX.
+++++
Thought for the day: Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wise.
Whiny Space Elves Who Can't See Past Their Own Pointy Noses
Eldar
Remember your training men, the Eldar are deadly.
Space elves who caused a bunch of bad things to happen. The most micro intensive race, they require a keen eye for deployment. Your units are paper thin. Your tanks can be punched into with a toothpick.
But, with pain comes reward. If you can manage playing this race, take your time, and practice well, you can do a great many things. Be warned, though, they are not easy to play as.
Khaine guide you if you heed the call to war.

DON'T TALK 'BOUT US, YA 'UMIE GIT!
DA BEST! DA STRONGEST! DA ORKZ!
The Green Tide. This army will rely upon a combination of a strong early game swarm units, combined with great late game units. They rely on numbers. The most 'balanced' of the races, most of the units have a place in the Ork army. Not recommended for people who don't like cockney accents.

Tyranids
Easy to visualize how they play. You build a lot of units and try to overwhelm your opponents. They get stronger with units that grant a synaptic ability to their lesser units, making a sea of tyranids loathed to face. Generally hated in this thread.
Some stupid list of stupid people who play the game. They're generally nice. Unless you're playing as Tyranids. Then about 1/10th of them won't tell you to eat a penis.

Edit: God dammit, I will get you next thread Rydiak, MARK MY WORDS!
Fortune Banshees with farseer, send them after the tac squad. Jump in warpspiders, slap guide on them.
Dead Tac marines very quickly. Repeat until all the tac swarm is dead, which is now like 2 or 3 units of them. Warp spiders do an insane amount of damage.
With the sergeant damage nerf, banshees aren't immediately shredded.
TSKNF is still annoying, but now they just act like damage soaks and don't do nearly as much damage.
All Hail the coming of the warp spider.
Oh Also, against a larget tac blob guardians throw nades at the marines in the back, if they duck them, then to cover the banhsees, the guardians get a little melee expeirence (not recomended, but prevents a shit ton of damage from hitting your banhsees).
I think I am gonna change my build order though and go Double platform to start now because I am so power hungry in the beginning with fortune armor and banshees, I can't afford the second wargear for the guardians.
And crashed 2 minutes in.
Best way to kill tanks as Eldar is to get Warp Spiders + at least one other AT unit (Wraithlords work best, but a brightlance is probably what you'll have to use against an early walker/razorback) staition the AT unit close by, warp in the spiders, use their haywire grenades, pray that they accually do use their haywire grenades, then bombard it with your AT while it is stunned and cannot move.
Ideal? Hell no, but the best you can do on your own at T2/no farseer.
STABLITY GO!
When I say throw a grenade, one guardian will sometimes break away from the pack to run up and throw the grenade himself. He dies pretty quickly. Then it's the next guy who drew the short straw's turn, he runs up to throw it all by himself. Dead. Just like ninjas in movies, when there's a pack of them, they still only attack one at a time.
It's even worse when the spiders do this with haywire, because he'll get killed, the tank will start backing away, and now it's just putting more distance between your spiders and their target.
is it as we dreamed? Are the Tac spams gone?

Unless it's a falcon or a fire prism, because even if you click to back up, it apparently takes a few seconds for the driver to put it in reverse and even then, those drivers are not lead-footed in the least.
EDIT: For guardians, though, yep. You're right.
Just bite the bullet, warp in and chuck it at the tank. Then mash X depending on what is nearby.
Or you can be like cake? last night and hide your rocks alert under you looted tank and bait by bashees and warp spiders to attack it. Well played.
Prediction, eldar gates will be invaluable in tiber outpost. But not nearly as valuable as some nid's tunnels which will allow retreats and then quick reinsertion into the battle with no biomass cost.......
Delete tac spam and insert warp spider spam... which is way more entertaining.

And More Choppy.

...there is no light vehicle... just vehicle...
Even when I warp next to a tank, it's not really moving, and wait for everyone to get comfortable haywires will fail. I think I shall try just ordering them to melee the tank after a warp. After they attack, I shall throw it.
It works for ASM, right?
Not according to the Wartrukks inability to run over cover those fuckers
Also, Haywires may be broken but I lost more vehicles to them yesterday than I have since the game came out. When people are spamming warp spiders they get an extra try or two...and that is usually all it takes. And like Sep said, he managed to hit my looted tank with three of them......how bad can they really be?
http://dowcodex.com/Info:Damage_Types begs to differ. I have no idea if any vehicle actually has the light veh armor class though.

DoW2 is running on a modified version of the CoH engine so despite the lack of information about it on DoWCodex, I'm just going to assume it works the same way.
In CoH, armor type had nothing to do with what a unit could smash through, really. Each vehicle was assigned a crush type. Light, medium, and heavy crush. Heavy crush vehicles like the larger tanks smashed through everything just like the vast majority of DoW2's vehicles do. Medium crush could smash through most heavy cover, but not some prohibilitively large obstacles. Light crush vehicles worked like the wartrukk.
According to DoWCodex, the wartrukk has the same vehicle armor that everyone else has, so relying on crush types to make it unable to destroy heavy cover would make sense.
