Did you see it? The first purchasable DLC for Dawn of War 2. I think they made step in the right direction.

Kind of expensive for a re-skin..

Wait, it's just a space marine reskin, not a new race? And it costs $7.50? Why?

So the big fans can pay that day 1 while the rest of us pick it up further on down the road for $2.50 on sale. Seems pretty reasonable to me for a detailed reskin of an entire race that looks to be really well done.Metal Gear?! said:
Harlequin recently cast probably the most epic 2v2 that's ever happened for someone with 40 minutes to kill.
$7.50 for a reskin is maybe a bit steep, but I bet a lot of people will pay it. I think that's a decent avenue to go for DLC. Relic adds a decent amount of content for free so I don't really have a problem throwing them a few bones.

That was pure awesome and fun. Wish I could play like that.Anno said:
Is there any way to adjust the camera if you are playing Very Hard? Finished a campaign on Normal and Hard now starting a 3rd campaign on Very Hard. I don't like the way the camera is moved in so close on Very Hard. It is at an over the shoulder viewpoint. Adds an artificial layer of difficulty to make it tougher to do things. I went back to Hard on the Ork campaign I started because of it. I need my overhead view.
I finished once with the Eldar and Space Marines the the light heartedness of the Ork campaign is a refreshing change. The Ork Commander demanding The Inquisitor's hat to help out had me rolling! Writing is hilarious with the Orks!

Started playing a bit more of this game, and after being a huge fan of DoW2 and Chaos Rising, im really not feeling the fact that they added in all the multiplayer stuff. I already had a hard enough time controlling 4 dudes really effectively, and tactically and now I have to control 8 at a time? fuck me.
They need to add a BioWare pause system so I can set all this shit up!
I like how they added other races to play as during campaign, but I would rather go back to just space marines, if it ment I would get more loot like the last 2 games, and feel like I need to be more tactical with my movements.
Maybe I should play more of the Space Marines, but so far this is my experience with the Eldar, and im not enjoying it half as much as DoW2 and CR.

I will have to start doing that I guess. Its just when these missions are telling me to build some dudes or little tanks, or they just start me with a tank, I feel like I should listen to them. Im still really early in the game, so maybe that changes, or I can just stop listening to what the tell me to do in some cases

Indeed, my first two campaigns as Marines and then Eldar I stuck to only using the heroes and picked all the wargear rewards after missions, but as Guard I've gone the opposite direction and am maxing my other units as much as possible. Both ways are really fun, and play out quite differently.

Well, when non-hero units die, you get back the money you spent on them, so you can also just spam the non-heroes towards the enemy and not micromanage them all that much.
Patch 3.14 is out on steam!
12 new Last Stand achievements, each one tied to a piece of new wargear.
Also, a bunch of bugs fixes and multiplayer balance changes.
I've done Space Marines and Imperial Guard and am currently doing Chaos.
The missons are 99% identical each campaign, but because the dialogue, wargear and abilities are different it's still fun to play multiple times with different races.
Also, try the tutorial, I skipped it the first time, but it actually has some story in it.

Last Stand update live sweet.
I didn't think so either but I've started the Ork campaign 5 times now on Very Hard and every time it gives me an up close viewpoint. I start it on Hard and I can get the over the head view. I must be hitting some sort of odd glitch.
It also isn't only me. I've been co oping with a friend and the same thing happened with him starting a game.

Oh, it might be a bug then, but that's definately not supposed to happen.

I'm about ready to give up on multiplayer at this point. I just don't have the time it takes to keep up with the community.
The Farseer's new staff in Last Stand pretty much makes all her other weapons obsolete. It has the highest ranged attack power of any of her weapons by an order of magnitude, it deals melee damage on par with the Witchblade of the Crone, it knocks back whatever it hits, it cuts all energy costs by 25%, and even though it doesn't mention it in the description it also makes her Unshakable.
It's kind of a huge paradigm shift for the elf to actually be able to kill things without Storming them.

As opposed to giving the content and cosmetic stuff for box price?

Any idea why I might be getting this weird dithering/color banding? It's like I have it in 16bit color mode. Drivers are up to date, this happens at all graphical settings.

That's not a complaint about DLC in general, it's a specific complaint about this DLC. $7.50 is a lot of money for 2 RTS unit skins. Capcom sells cosmetic DLC that contains twice the content (4 characters) and costs half as much. That doesn't even factor in the difference between a fighting game character skin, which is huge and detailed and looked at intently for the entire game, and RTS unit skins, which are almost indistinguishable from the default choices at the game's playable viewpoint.
Relic knows that very few will buy it. It's just meant for the hardcore Dark Angels fan, who will gladly pay to play as their favorite faction. It isn't for us.
I hope they do more, especially with the awesome potential of Chaos. I'd easily pay $7.50, to play as a fully Nurgled Death Guard army.
