AM starting forces are abysmal, which snowballs into a mediocre early game, and a difficult mid game. Of course, in FFA, it doesn't change that much, as the AI won't prioritize AM forces given that it has a low chance of bumping into them. However, it doesn't change the fact that AM struggles early ...

five brand new units for $4,99, this is just the beginning! Priced right? I bought, but it tastes no good. Maybe my last Gladius purshase before some years and then a big sale on the remaining. I more or less agree: No hard feeling about it, but it doesn't feel like a great bargain, when it comes t...

I like the changes to the AI, but it still seems bad at priorizing targets: I had 2 squads of Tac Marines recaping its resource nodes, while the bulk of my army was leveling its base, and it sent 90% of its force following my 2 Tac Marines trekking around the map. The Tac Marines didn't make it, but...

Actually, I would rather have them protect infantry units (like Starcrafts's Bunkers) than have their own automated defense system.
They would remedy one of the AM problems (the brittleness of its infantry).

Turns 30-40 are not early game. AM are worthless for the first 10 turns, because their starting units are badly underpowered. They cannot handle anything until they have a commissar out, while SM or necrons can clear some neutral with their starting barrack units (+ 1 or two reinforcement). This res...

That is awesome! 3 of these units are ones I would have picked if given the choice (and the fourth is because I have no idea how necrons work at all in the TT and the lore). I really look forward to it, but it is surprising not to have a price so close to the release date. It might be a bit too late...

As the last of the DLC has sailed (or not?), I was thinking about what I would really love to see in SR2: No more settings limitation, so that we can have factions that are more relevant/varied. A clear campaign army roster. The random list really detracts from the attachment to your company, and th...

In fact, the problem does not come from the dreadnought, but in my opinion, from how TT infantry's armour saves and vehicle's armouring are retranscribed in the game under one unique value (the armour) This means that infantry with good armour save (like SM 3+) can't have a low armour value in the ...

The armour comes from the codex apparently unless someone got it wrong.

How come vehicle armors are so low compared to Space Marines armor then?
Which codex is it from?
Their durability is much higher in Sanctus Reach.

I don't think Centurion is fitting for an unit type, and they should certainly not be upgraded to officer. Even through it is not Field of Glory, having a more historical unit name, or at least green/regular/elite units (or early, middle, late, if it is based on technology) instead would be more fit...

Actually, I think it works be a great suggestion, and could add much needed variety to infantry if we were able to select load out (Heavy bolters or heavy melta, power swords or power fists for veteran assault marines)...

But it would only be reasonable if these work with the current animations.

A cool benefit would be to be able to play AM+ space marines

Actually, I think this has undesirable side effects:
Armor and penetration are much more important than every other stats, especially given the fact that infantry armor and vehicle armor work the same way and have roughly the same values

Also, the existing factions need more tools: Space marines really need ground transports, veterans (both versions, but especially the assault ones, as they would give them more punch than the assault marines) would be nice too. AM could really use some elite ranged infantry and transports too (where...

I wrote a script to simulate damage rolls. You can download it here on my website . Launch launcher.bat to get the results of a large number of attacks from the attacker and a target specified in data.lua. It is not very user friendly, as you need to manually edit data.lua to change the values. I wi...

Actually, a campaign DLC adding a more fleshed out campaign(and some extra units) for the 3 existing races would be great.

Sadly you think he is far more powerfull then the Knight? Guess you dont like the Orks. I think its perfect just as is. He is not. I played with one in MP, and was able to kill one Predator or Dreadnought every single turn with it. This is not in line with its price, and it should be able to do so ...

But orks have no deffguns or tankbustas either! It's as if both side chose the least efficients weapons against their opponent(orks are loaded with heavy bolter equivalents, and almost no AT weapons)

Here is how to change the scripts to make vehicles not stuck in melee anymore, that should help those unfamiliar with the engine to make other changes to the scripts: First, create a new campaign by cloning an existing one (aka select the option to copy an existing campaign when you create a new one...
