Automatic morale balancing

What the heck, Heroes of Might and Magic took away 20 reputation points from me ^_^))) Why the balancing? Like, this idiot doesn't need that much reputation))))))))))))))
Or did it distribute it across all my 8 characters?

The Undead are overpowered. -.-
And is the campaign in Soulstorm the same as in Death Knights?
The campaign in Death Knights is simply terrible. It's just a dull land grab, with every battle being a skirmish of 1v1 or 1v2 on a map for 8 players...
I never understood people who "play through the campaign for every faction." Don't they have anything better to do?
Warhammer or the original game are much better... at least they had some meaning. Variety.
For me, Dawn of War is primarily about Multiplayer. And it's amazing, I have to admit.

Everyone has their own opinion... I personally enjoyed playing the campaign in both games. But if you didn't like the campaign in Death Knights, you definitely won't like it in Soulstorm either. It's the same thing, only on three planets... The most overpowered unit is the Space Marine.
In 2 weeks, I only encountered one other player (besides myself) who played as the Eldar. Eldar are probably the anti-overpowered faction (((((But I like them... Once a guy taught me how to play as Eldar, I got used to them.
But the Sisters of Battle are an interesting race - emo is fashionable now))) These are their representatives in the Warhammer universe. But they are powerful - may everyone be as lucky as them. By the way, I'm one of those people who played through the campaign for every race, first on medium, then on hard. Why? I was interested in watching the cutscenes. And I learned how to play each race against every other race.
P.S. Do me a favor - delete your last message in that topic, and I'll delete the top lines of my last post there, because people are already thinking that it's a flame war topic, and I want to make this project work.

Necrons are a serious threat, just like Tau, but I managed to defeat them with Space Marines. The simplest, yet most effective tactic is to use mass Boltgun units supported by Vortex units. The infantry with mass Boltguns prevents the Necrons from getting close, and the Vortex units help with that. The only problem is that the Necrons arrive at the base around the 4th minute, while it takes about 7 minutes to develop at least to the point of having Boltgun units. Scouts can help, but it's still difficult. You also need to pay close attention to the battle to prevent the Necrons from using artillery, otherwise, it's a disaster. Next, I tried using mass Glider units. They are relatively cheap, and their combat power is good, but you need to use them skillfully. Don't bash Eldar; they are not an anti-Imperial faction. I easily defeated Tau with them. You just need to know how to play them. However, I can't seem to play as the Imperials; it just doesn't work, although it's an interesting faction. But Space Marines tear them apart with ease.

P.S. Oblivion's pirate version is decent, but Morrowind... or rather, Bloodmoon... it's just awful.

Of course, it's decent, but it has a ton of bugs. Oh well... it's a shame I don't know how to take screenshots, because I had so many funny moments... I can still picture it now: I'm riding a horse on a road... and the road goes uphill, with Oblivion's gates ahead... and right at the edge of the road, a scamp is flying, completely stuck... and with such a funny expression on its face... I was laughing so hard...

P.S. It's "Blood" in your head! Blood! At least open a dictionary with transcriptions sometimes... :)

The most overpowered thing is the Space Marine...
In 2 weeks, only one guy (besides me) played as Eldar... So, Eldar is probably anti-overpowered(((((

"imba (English: imbalanced)" - imbalances in the game that give one of the players a very large advantage when using such tactics.
imba is not the popularity of a race; it's a combination of coolness/lack of skill, where the former is directly proportional to the latter...
Necrons - what's there... I churned out cheap Necron Warriors, upgraded them, and won.
or mass-Flayed Ones. In the Bukowski translation, "flesh-eaters." Or mass-Zerks for Chaos... or a newbie fast Tier 3 for Chaos, Possessed and Obliterators.
or Flies + Tau Commander...
and so on.
in general, many people shout about imbalance when they lose.
one of the advantages of playing as Imperial Guard is that the Guard is considered the weakest, so when I beat someone, I don't hear any complaints. Instead, I hear "well played").
Eldar are also imba, but they are difficult to micro - turning on and off the legs of each unit, so usually no one complains.
Kenny, mass Hellhounds - this is exactly the main tactic of Space Marines against Necrons. But 7 minutes?
7 minutes to build an armory and transition to Tier 2?
It's quite simple to play against Necrons, despite everything.
You run around, decapitate his outposts with scouts, and take over the map. I don't even know what else to say. It's all elementary.
and then you give 3 Stormtroopers to Hellhounds, one squad can have 2-3 rocket launchers. And that's it. GG Necrons. And you don't need a Whirlwind, everything dies even earlier.
it's harder against Tau.
and many people just get crushed when playing as Imperial Guard, if they don't know how)
I know) Kenny, Wolf, Exz, Ar, how many of you are there? Let's team up somehow:)
by the way, where is that thread about RTS? Did they delete it?

mmm... in principle, I can play as everyone, but... not as well as I would like. Well, I know the basic tactics. Mostly, I play as Imperial Guard, Elves, and Orcs)
in SS, they are waiting for me, my favorites) my darlings) the quintessence of speed, agility, and deadliness, although they don't even have legs :D

P.S. What do Sisters and Emo have to do with it?
don't go crazy...

Lock, I'll join with my super-fast internet connection, and besides, I don't have a data cap...

Emo is here with the pink emblem.... My only problem is that I just want to play, but I only have keys for Winter Assault and DoW, so I can only play those. Of course, if someone shares some keys....
P.S. Locken, thank you for understanding.

Ah, well. It's time to learn... A newbie's impressions of the races (Necromancers, as I'll try Space Marines later in the summer. And stop mentioning the Emperor and Sisters of Battle, you jerks! Otherwise, I'll make you read the history of those who make such comparisons:)): Necromancers are a pretty cool race, but against skillful use of Eldar, they can only win with great difficulty. Tau – give me time, and no one will catch up to me... but TIME... Imperial Guard – a peculiar race. It's hard to hold points; the primary task is to reach Tier 3, and then we'll figure things out... but they die faster than flies. Orks – mmm... but HOW do you play them? Tier 1 – they lose almost everywhere (unless they manage to engage in melee...). Tier 2, Tier 3 – now it's something! Space Marines – an ideal, balanced faction. Everything is needed. The main thing is to reach Tier 2 and save up for Grey Knights. In Tier 1, they are also formidable. Chaos – mmm... the opposite of Space Marines. Strong in Tier 1, Tier 2 – Tier 3 gives a couple of interesting focuses, but by that time, it's already too late. Eldar – oh... a terrifying race. "Hit hard!" is their motto. In theory, you can set up a base in the rear, but it requires insane micromanagement. This is from the perspective of a newbie.

by the way, where is that thread about RTS games? Did they delete it?

It's still there, but there aren't many RTS fans on the forum. Whirlwind is still needed; heavy Necromancers can't fly without it, and it reduces the number of Hellhounds. Also, I only upgrade to Tier 2, and before that, I have to defend myself, which is where mines are great. Of course, they won't reduce the morale (since there isn't such a mechanic), but a couple of Necromancers will be eliminated. Necromancers come quickly, so massing Hellhounds is the best tactic because it's the only way to transition to Tier 2. If you go for mass Hellhounds, you push in Tier 2, but if not, you hold out until Tier 3 because that's where you'll have the coolest units.

Kenny, Chaos Heavy Bolters require both an armory and Tier 2.
Chaos is playing around with them on Tier 1 (I think they stopped doing that in Space Crusade).
ValgallaWolf, if you have Space Crusade, maybe we can play in a couple of weeks. We can play over Hamachi - no key is needed.
Teng, here are my comments as (dare I say it) a pretty good player online.
Chaos Marines - yes, they are good in many ways: thick dreadnoughts, Hell Vortex with speeders, Marines themselves, Thermos...
and the Fast Tier 2 and Grey Knights + Chaplains combo is one of the most overpowered, very difficult for some races to counter.
Chaos - you're wrong here, Tier 3 is what poses the main threat. Among the units: terrible Possessed and Obliterators, Demon Prince (well, they rarely build him), Predators (and they always build them), and Invisible Havocs (funny, they can stun the enemy and the enemy won't deploy detectors).
Tier 2 is so-so, everyone has probably learned how to counter the Mass Zerks + Sorcerer combo.
da orks are made for fightin' n' winnin', 'ummie.
Tier 1 - Uber Mek with Uber Teleport and Jokers. What else do you need for happiness? After the Cannon Rush - Big Shootas with insane damage and no setup time, like Heavy Bolters. Stormboyz with Sergeant and upgrade to Claws - Big Boss, Lootas, and Generators.
Wartrakks - good, Nobz - even better. Claws are only given to them in Tier 3, but even without them, they are still very strong.
Tier 3 - generally one of the strongest. Free Sluggas are just devastating. And Gitz with Doc and Bombs.
Eldar - no comment, Dragons, early units, Reapers, Falcons, Rangers, Spiders...
...but teleportation and invisible buildings are just a gimmick. The Eldar army is already very strong. I'd rather move to Tier 2 earlier than research something in the gate.
Imperial Guard - they are definitely unique. I can say one thing - their Tier 3 and Tier 2 are just great. Tier 2 is probably the best. Guard, Executioners, Priests, Sentinels, Hellhounds. These are very weighty "arguments".
Chaos - I've already said... overpowered, overpowered...
Tau - pure overpowered. Drones, Fire Warriors, Crisis Suits with Flamers, Barrage...
That's how it is.
P.S. ValgallaWolf, come on, I just expressed my opinion, nothing personal. Apparently, everyone will stick to their own.

P.S. Why like flies?
"Remember! The Guardsman is tough and hard to kill with a Priest and Commissar behind him!" (c)
...in general, I play Imperial Guard most often for several reasons.
1) They spread the Word of the Emperor;
2) It's very difficult to play as them, and I like that - that's why I constantly play as Infamous in Fifth Edition. There's not much interesting in defeating the enemy with overpowered units.
3) This follows from point 2 - a lot of fun. And I'm drawn to that. I was just born that way - I prefer fun to grinding:)
4) Also from point 2 - a very interesting aspect.
5) Style. Probably the most important thing. As someone wrote somewhere sometime? (not about Dawn of War, but in general)
"Why the Guard? They have no high technology, no genetically enhanced muscles, their claws and teeth cannot tear through tank armor, their bodies are not filled with the energy of dark gods. They have only a rifle and a prayer to the Emperor. They fight the most terrible and disgusting creatures in the galaxy, at the cost of their noble lives, defending their people and their home. They can only call upon the Emperor for help, but they must rely only on their own valor and courage."
That's it. That's my main reason...

and they also say that I'm a bore... with your posts, I don't even understand half of them...
Lock, let's play sometime)

P.S. Lelya, "blud" sounds better... at least for me))... it sounds better... "blud moon") heh

Racism? Nationalism?
Gentlemen, even if all Americans are jerks... then you should still be riding horses (Ford is American, didn't you know? And the Wright brothers were Americans! HORROR!) and working with outdated technology (at one time, the USA gave such a kick in the pants to progress...).
Blind hatred is the lot of fools who kill in the name of their leader. The lot of F-A-N-A-T-I-C-S.

My friend, you forgot about Sikorsky, and what about the other great Russian minds who, for various reasons, raised capital with Uncle Joe. So think about these words first.:cool:

Well, damn... You talked me into it, and I bought your Warhammer... Though, for now, it's just Dawn of War. I can't say anything yet, I'm still getting used to it...

lol)) I bought it a week ago, but I'm only writing about it now xD

P.S. Oh... why is my internet disconnecting? =(... I suspect the network is overloaded, but it wasn't like that before!... I can't even play CS normally =(.. let alone other games... T_T

Arandor – it sounds like “blood,” I even checked it in the dictionary, and “blud” is… well, I think you know.
