As they reached my base and I was almost defeated I destroyed their main base and barely escaped by the skin on my teeth. I rushed their base with two mechs and two teams of scouts. Luckily I had been building Mechs in my orbital relay and I sent them to my scouts forward position. As my scouts were reaching their base they overwhelmed me with at least 600 troops at once. So I sent some scouts to where I believed their main base was. In fact, when I was playing as the Space Marines in campaign the Orks had sent little scouting parties to test my strength. If you leave them unchecked they upgrade build a massive strike force then try to overwhelm you. (Space marines and Chaos Space Marines are similiar though).Īlso I forgot about the massive sizes of battles. It includes 7 different races that each have completely different styles of play.
I may buy company of heroes but I am really tired of WWII and how over played it is in the industry.Įdit: It is also 20$ less than Company heroes and includes the races from the original game and previous expansion. The campaign lacks a story where one person comes out the winner but I like the take on being able to conquer a map and making tacticle decisions.
They also move in effectively with a more defensive attitude than offensive (because if they beat everything it would be fun now would it?). Hav eyou played a 4 on 4 game? It doesn't matter what difficulty, if your base if getting overwhelmed you AI teamates will flood your base with their troops. Dark Crusade is quite beautiful on my computer with everything turned up and AA enabled through its profile.Īlso the AI is outstanding and not matched in any RTS I have played yet.
