Thank you, loyalist scum!
The forces of Chaos look forward to getting massively debuffed and smacked about by Eldar.

Seriously, genuinely excited about this~

Their usefulness against other infantry wasn't the problem, hah~
Two squads of them can level generators in seconds, and barrack buildings too. It's difficult to recover from that early game, especially given that they can just deep strike behind all defenses.

Also, non-sm infantry equipped with flamers may be decent, but you can't have 9 flamers all firing at once in those squads, and they can't be deep struck(?) by default.

I usually run with two Lesser Daemon Portals, and bring out four squads of fully reinforced flamers as soon as possible - Unless the other person has decided to build nothing but turrets, or stretch their buildings out really far across the map, there isn't much they can do to stop you from destroying all of their plasma generators, all of their unit production buildings and - If you're quick - Prevent them from building anything else.

Tzeentch Flamer Cheese

I don't have much else to say on that, just Tzeentch Flamers in early game ruin the entire universe.

The Chaos Machine pit automatically switches to Alpha Legion colours for some reason.

No idea how to even produce the unit

Are those Shadow Fiends getting smacked around or are they flying?

.0exe?

Hard to believe that the DE don't just have a giant Titan covered in darklances.

Like, 30 of them.

Instead of the vulcan megabolter, have a vulcan megadarklance.

Hundreds of them

May have something to do with the fact that the Tyranid mod was developed as a stand-alone thing completely separate to the UA mod.

I know it's been reworked and whatnot, but just saying that it MIGHT be the issue.

Also, all flying units like getting stuck on nothing - Depends on the map, really.

Their overwhelming numbers tactic seems to be staying true to form, but is made doubly effective in DoW because of every other race's lack of a "Shoot the big ones" rule.

The AI will shoot whatever comes at it first, and will often prioritise the generally inoffensive gaunts and gants rather than the swarm of carnifexes that are actually dealing damage.

Tying everything up in close combat with unkillable hordes of little blighters seems to be the best tactic, as it leaves you free to bring out the Uberfex and level everything with that overpowered artillery cannon thing it has; doesn't help that the Uberfex is nigh invincible to any standard firepower.

The Tyrant Guard are used to the same effect, as they just run through everything and draw everyone's attention in the process, taking barely any damage.

Fortunately, though the Tyranids are basically overpowered (They tend to beat every other race when the AI plays.) they only really have that one tactic, and with enough artillery on the chokepoint and enough heavy weapons behind it, the Tyranids can't get through - Not that this matters because they eventually get to spam meteors on you and the game basically ends unless you've got something with global range that is incredibly powerful (Basilisk Magnus/Gauss Pylon with research)

On the subject of maps, I guess this is as good a place as any to ask this question...

I love making maps - Or at least I did, back in DC days, but as Soulstorm has no map editor I kind of had to stop.

Is there a way to make maps for Soulstorm? Or than just making them for DC and then awkwardly moving them into the Soulstorm folder? Because I'd really like to make some maps with some UA specific units and structures already placed.

Fortunately, the Tyranids are kind of stupid sometimes.
They allowed me to build a wall along the entire width of my side of "High Platform" while they were standing at my end of the choke-point, doing nothing.

I actually managed to beat them on insane yesterday with Necrons.

The Gauss Pylon (The big one) can take out Capillary Towers in one hit, so that combined with the Particle Accelerator research that makes its range infinite means it can kill a Capillary Tower the moment it shows up, as it gets revealed on the map, thus preventing them from using the meteors or that wretched Hive Fleet thing.

It is impossible to fight them otherwise, 'cause you can't build anything with those damn meteors ruining everything.

"since i got rid of the high_camera.lua"

I think the solution to your problem is: Don't remove high_camera.lua

I suppose I should get the mod kit out and find a way to stick "Mark of Malal" in there.

Meteor Spam!

Inquisition Daemonhunters are broken, in the really really bad way.

Maybe it's just their AI or something, but against Daemons they can't do a damn thing. Every difficulty, every map size, it doesn't matter where they are, the Daemonhunters get majorly pwned by the Daemons they are meant to be hunting.

Their squad sizes (For the decent squads, not stormtroopers and the like) are way too small for their cost, and though they can temporarily do a lot of damage to a single large Daemon, they fold like every other race does as time goes on.

They need some serious buffing if they are ever gonna' actually stand a chance against their chosen foe.

EDIT: You know, it's just struck me that it might not be IDH that are the problem, it's possible that the Daemons are just OP - If that's the case then I'm totally fine with it, hah~

Only 10am here, hah

Timezones make this real fun~

Hour? I'm checking every ten minutes or so.

Hnnnn~
It's like waiting for a Basilisk to fire off an Earthshaker.

Bahahaha! We're back!

Should have it so all Infantry units can be garrisoned inside and ALL of them can fire - So you can basically just dump your entire army into the thing and watch it wreck stuff.

This is in no way a serious request, but still; lol.

Hnnnnnn!
I just hope there is a heretical counterpart.

The hunt is soon to begin~

Good job me and my Daemons will be around to make sure it never ends! Bwahaha~

You were saying? Heh~

Finally! The Eldar Tree!
I don't use them all that much really.
Rather pointless celebrating about it then...
Still! Good to see.
Three down, about 10 or so to go, I think.

Also, look at the letters at the beginning of each line.

I find it rather quaint that Dark Crusade brought in two new factions, then Soulstorm brought another two, and now The Hunt Begins is bringing in the final two, making it almost seem like a legitimate sequel.

I found it in the text, but where is it in-game?

There is no new unit!
It's all a lie!
