I see the Assault Marines cheese build already spreading to every noob game. Fun times.
the only cheese build i know of for sm is building 4 scout squads
How is that cheesing? You cant afford anything else
How do you cheese something that expensive?
Just skip marines.
The spam is effective because the unit is probably the strongest tier1 unit and gets true damage when you get the power swords. They literally kill anything with them.
lol every single match against marines. Skip SM and rush 2 ASM. Crush anything I can build as orks.
Is it really cheese if its the only viable way to not literally suicide your units?
Played a bunch over the beta and these past couple days, but I have a question about Elite points. I seem to do decently well, but it feels like I'm behind on Elite points. They seems to accrue naturally and at a faster rate with an Elite point generator, but is there other ways to get them?
These jump Squads from Space Marines are OP as hell, way too much structural damage very early in the game. Anyways, just beat a space marine in a very long game after I turtled a bit and spammed Eldar Vypers and destroyed his economy. If you fuck with my resource points early game by jumping everywhere, I do it to you in late game!
Cheese does not mean something is op.
Cheese is something unconventional, unusual strategy that catches your enemy by surprise and gives you the upper hand or win.
CDKey's is now down to $36.99 USD.
No, the RTS definition of cheese, is a powerful, effective strategy, that takes little skill to utilize correctly.

Well cheese means something is op. ASM seem like that as for now, but I'm no pro. In the previous games the power swords gave them different bonus, now they can slice through vehicles as well which means the only real counter to them is heavy CC and you might not always have access to it.
Nope that's it.
I must not understand Orks or something, but just struggling already on campaign mission 2. Boyz all get slaughtered instantly, they have no toughness it feels like and once the Eldar show up, I can't keep up with the waves of Eldar who just shred through my orks so they just then are pouncing on Gorgutz. And then having to replay the entire mission which is annoyingly long since you have to keep making more boyz and running them over to you each time. so it's creep up, make more boyz, creep up make more boyz.
I'm not gonna classify cheesing as ASM being OP when all the units are so expensive you have no other option. Either that or sending resources to the slaughter and even then you can kite them later on. They're not a super unit but when ork have numbers on you and eldar got shield that make them very favorable in trading what else are you gonna do?Well cheese means something is op.

The reason he did that is most likely because the dumb game promotes it due to elite exp.i had the most interesting match. my ork teammate was doing orky things albeit with not much finesse or skill but orky nonetheless. we dominated our early match ups and gained a significant portion of the map while amassing a large army before reaching 3 elite points.
things took a turn for the worst when he called in the da kommando. he completely abandoned his large army by tucking them away in his base and solely diverted his attention to controlling his elite to abuse the team with booby traps while remaining cloaked. dude had zero interest in winning the game and simply didn't give a shit.
to him, the game turned into a moba once he got his elite and nothing else mattered. we ended up losing miserably in a long drawn out match

Well, game looks great in UW.
I've been trying to get something going. If I make a google doc for us to share steam names on, maybe we can all start adding people and buddy up in multiplayer games.any gaf group for this?

Can't wait for the ASM nerf or TCM buff.
I think the most logical nerf to ASM is to increase the Power Sword upgrade cost significantly or make it a per-squad upgrade. With 75 power you now upgrade your whole ASM blob to fucking true damage which is silly.
What's UW? :/
