Soon there will be a resurgence of Boreale posting...

Leman Russ takes too long to unlock

have they given any hint of a release date yet ?

zoom zoom faggot

THE COWARDZZZZ
THE FEWWWWWWWWLZ

IG won Winter Assault and I won't be persuaded otherwise.

$40 for upscaled textures

Pass

I'm going to be all over it in general but I will be interested if my main mod thief updates titanium wars for the definitive edition.

beside, the game is in promotion on GOG right now.

How come 2 (and 3 despite the "polish a turd" explanation there) haven't gotten the bonkers-ass modding scene the first game has? You're telling me we can do all 30+ modern factions in Unification but I'm still not able to play as the other hero units in Last Stand?

inb4 Unification already has a last stand mode

STEASY YOURSELF BRUHTHA

2 has mods, tons of em. Most focus on multiplayer.

$40

Very highly optimistic of you.

2 is a campaign-focused game. Skirmish was there as a checklist item.

IMAGINE

ultimate apocalypse

but stable

No, but let me know when Unification works with it. I prefer mods that have content.

Can't wait

WHat happened to that ult apocalypse anyway?
last i remember they were planning to do a full on rework of the entire mod to be more balanced.

To be fair, I expected something more ambitious. From what I've seen, it doesn't look that different.
Why can Age of Mythology can get a remaster that makes it look like a game from 2025 and DoW can't?

Honestly that’s fair, the OG visuals were like looking through a Vaseline-coated lens while your monitor screamed at you in binary. If the remaster can keep the chunky animations and voice lines but not sear my retinas every time a plasma gun fires, I’m in. Just praying they don’t "remaster" the UI into some washed-out mobile-tier garbage.

Loooooooooooord Bale~

64bit support is massive. Even with large address aware many of the best mods have real issues with expanding game size.

they won't remaster models and textures lol

it's unlocked on T4 like every other faction's big tank (except for Chaos, who get a shitty anti-infantry Predator at T2 which is strictly inferior to crab spam)

because relic are lazy retards

Do original owners get a free upgrade

no

hahahahahahah
pay up for your 64bit and modern resolution support

its the only good tank in the game

That isn't how you spell fire prism.

Necron Destroyers are good, if you consider them "tanks". Eldar Falcon is good, it's a "gravtank", though in DoW it's more of a troop transport.

I'm so fucking tired of these remasters, man.
Nothing can ever stay ded.
Everything needs to be dragged back up and needs its decades of modding history destroyed and we need to obsess over whether this one is merely *inoffensive* or whether they ruined everything again.

I'm so fucking sick of it.

that is not very cash money of you

2 had a decent amount of modding. Despite the faggotry in the name the pro mod turned it into an enjoyable and unique 1v1 RTS actually. Worth a try with a friend some time.

It's going to merge the main game and all it's expansions into one big game, switch to 64-bit instead of 32-bit (the benefit of this is the game will now be able to use more than 2 GBs of RAM, a lot of the really big mods for this game were pretty unstable because of this limitation), run the all the textures through a sharpening tool, AND be a horribly unoptimized mess at launch that takes months to patch.

defiler is absolute crap while 2x quick preds in t2 is game ending

lol
lmao

Cool it with the antisemitism.

Is this only the first DoW game or all 4 of them?

according to an IGN article?
yes.

it's not going to actually fix the game's utterly horrific dogshit balance and broken mechanics in every expansion outside of the base game

it's already over

The devs already announced it's not free on their own Steam page when they talked about (but refused to state) the price. The two price points everyone expects are either $40 or $60, the former because that's what the original game released at (before expansions), and the latter because it's 2025 and Relic hasn't released a game for less than $60 since 2009.

correction, it's the steam news, not an IGN article

ahem
FUCK 4SERV
that is all

what's the best mod pack? unification?

did they fix the shitty too low to the ground camera?

This is the Anniversary edition, illiterate anon. That is very old news.

the whaagh! banner is still pixilated

keyed

nigga wants to play a game of ants

It's gonna be the base game but modded and resold.

strategy games are best played with as little screen scrolling as possible

The devs stated that they aren't changing anything.

Based. I say the same thing to any faggot plays Imperial Guard. What's the fucking point? It's Space Marines, Orks, or Chaos, or go home.

dow is not a serious strategy game

The esports scene disagrees with you, which will thankfully be revived with this release. I look forward to seeing tournament gameplay show up in my youtube feed again.

Did they fix the pathing?

Daily reminder: they didn't add sync kills DoW3 not because its expensive or whatever retarded reason, but because they don't know how to made good and stable animations anymore. Pure degradation of the industry.

In every competitive 1v1 I've ever watched >competitive Soulstorm if Chaos player went tech they just spammed crabs (like really did) or Heck Talons. Obviously they set crabs to ranged attack, their cannons are great arty.

This anon gets it.

if Chaos player went tech they just spammed crabs (like really did) or Heck Talons. Obviously they set crabs to ranged attack, their cannons are great arty

It only works against newbies, not taking into account that Chaos is the weakest race in DoW1. But anyway, it's still boring to see mostly Tau, IG and SM in the lobbies.

CAN'T SEE SHIT WHERE ARE MY UNITS

DO YOU HEAR THE V-VOICES TOO?!??!?!

They are clear as day.

WTF I genuinely didn't see them except the ones at base

get a bigger screen or a vr headset

You can tell nobody good still plays. The game is known as dawn of eldar for a reason. Why yes, each fire dragon SHOULD weigh more than a squiggoth.

esport fags already rushing to ruin another game

its fine because all esports niggers will be playing on the 80 dollar graphics update so I can keep playing the game I've owned for 20 years

It worked in the 1v1 tournaments I watched. But yeah, I don't think Chaos was considered to be a strong race. But if it was played, it was usually cultist grenade spam, crabs and/or Hell Talons. I think there was also a raptor strat?

That article is very opinionated, but yeah, Eldar are a top tier faction.

each fire dragon SHOULD weigh more than a squiggoth

I mean, they're among the shortest range anti-tech infantry, and they don't have EMP grenades, stealth, teleporting, jump packs.

STROIK TROO
STROIK WIV PRECIZHUN

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

No. They said they don't know how.

the useless fucking squiggoth isn't the baseline for balance

and they don't have EMP grenades, stealth, teleporting, jump packs.

See, what you are suspiciously glossing over is how said weight came to be. What eldar players were doing was loading up falcons with fragons, jumping into enemy bases and melting buildings at warp speed because until celestians came along fragons had the high anti-building damage in the game (by a huge margin). The only counter to this - especially late game when fragons get the last armour upgrade giving them the same armour class as terminators - was minefields and for beakies, the whirlwind. Eldar players bitched that their strategy had a weakness so in one patch fragons had their weighed increased to more than a squiggoth each so they couldn't be disrupted like other infantry can.

Are they going to fix the abhorrent pathing? That's the only thing wrong with DoW 2 and the only reason to pay for the remake.

the only people left at relic are incompetent fucks, I'm looking forward to the utter failure of this """remaster""" and how poorly it will run a 20 years old game.

Dawn of War was always esports and competitive. We posted Eldar vs Eldar pro matches decades ago. Dawn of War 2 had a more compact and high speed multiplayer for esports. During Dawn of War 3, Relic, the developers behind this remaster, stated that esports was a high priority because it was always important to the series.
What fantasy world do you live in?

Based

maybe in another 20 years people might start to understand that just because the developer has the same company name its not the same company after getting rid of everyone that created its foundation

Personally, I want to play Necr more, but when I remember how slow their early-mid game is and that Lord is pretty much the only playable unit until the monolith awakens — just no. I don't want to endure so much shit while some Taufag or IGfag is drinking monster and jerking off on their bases, let alone destroying my gens from the "other country"-radius.

Don't really care about the textures but the port to x64 will do wonders for mods.

During Dawn of War 3, Relic, the developers behind this remaster, stated that esports was a high priority because it was always important to the series.

And that worked incredibly well, remind me, how long after launch they announced they would stop maintaining the game? Was it 30 or 90 days, I forgot.

Necrons are still a top tier force, even after the nerfing flayed ones took, they just have a brutal start. There was much community wailing when Tekkpriest (or something like that, the exact spelling of his name escapes me) ended up being the highest ranked player in DC for quite a while. He might've been the first person to crack 2000 rating but don't quote me.

and for beakies, the whirlwind

I don't think I can take that seriously, like you're listing a rare T4 unit as a counter to T2 anti-building infantry rushes? Fire dragons are an infantry, you can put your T1 TSM in melee mode and they'll "counter" them better than Whirlwind. It's the Falcon which is a problem.

The only dawn of war game i liked was dark crusade.

eldar is sex because all their units are good, every other faction has like 1 or 2 viable strategies while eldar has a bunch

The whirlwind wasn't always T4.

Elf-lovers cry until everyone gets nerfed

many such cases

The devs stated that they aren't changing anything.

wut?

Like yeah, FDs are good at that one thing they're good at, but I don't think they're the reason for Eldar strength. Falcon with its many jumps is probably more important, oh and it can shoot as well, and it's sturdy, it's like the best transport in the game. Reapers are absurdly OP and have no cap so you can just spam Reapers and get upgrades and when somebody tries to tie you in melee you just "lmao FoF". It's a strong strategy, and it's a foolproof strategy, literally just spam Reapers and maybe add those stealth snipers who deal shitty damage but utterly destroy morale, so now enemy can't even fire back at your Reapers. Whirlwinds? What are those? You kill enemy at T1.

It is a shame the exhaustive player's guide on the game is only surviving thanks to some ruskie as the main copy went poof when relic's forums went down. Said guide really highlights some of the wonkiness and/or bullshit that goes on behind the scenes.

ze wat

I love how every unit has "damage numbers" and they're all completely useless because there's like 11 armor types and they all modify damage in arcane and unpredictable ways.

Like how in DC one of Baneblade's lascannons did up to 4 times more damage against certain enemies because... it just did, okay?

warhammer-guide.ru/wiki/Dawn_of_War_Players_Guide.html

James Workshop should have elevated the Blood Ravens and gave them an actual army book and minis.

Since they're remnants of loyalist Thousand Snus they can be the official psyker heavy, gear stealing Chapter.

These niggers at Relic are fucking allergic to the idea of a single player focused 40K RTS even though DoW 1 and 2 proved it can both work and be successful. Instead of developing DoW4 they'd rather remasted a 21 year old game to rake in some cash and you just know it's gonna be at least 50$ on release.
We're left with CA trying to salvage 40K with Total War and if we have to rely on CA, we're well and truly fucked. Fuck you Relic.

pretty cool, thanks

Nah, the Eldar were flat broken from the outset in DoW and they never really fixed it despite the fact Eldar players were dominating multiplayer completely and totally. They got tapped slightly in Soulstorm but then their new units were broken shit as well so they stayed top dogs anyway. Meta wise, DoW was 100% Eldar dominance from start to finish. If they're not changing anything it'll be the same thing all over again if multiplayer takes off at all.

relic is about to die dow3 and coh3 were failures, aoe4 did just ok and now they have been sold off from sega (because they didn't make enough profit) but somehow ended up being an independent dev again, they need a solid hit to stay afloat or the company is gonna bankrupt.

I don't know why people want DoW4 from Relic. They haven't been doing well as of late. They'll just fuck it up.

Soulstorm didn't feel like an official expansion, and flying units were gay

its the same reason why there are people who want a 40k total war from ca
they just want company that works with gw to make more games they don't care about whether or not the company would be able to deliver something that wouldn't be hot dogshit
its about there being more thing to consume and talk about on social media for the fotm period

Man I'm so pissed at what could be but isn't because Relic is retarded. They're so stuck in the idea that everything must be multiplayer esports garbage, online all the time and they've failed time and again with that design philosophy yet they learn nothing.
The SoB were great.
youtube.com/watch?v=odBPdNBHHvQ

The SoB were great.

I think the Immolator has one of my favorite VAs in the game, the tank itself is shit but BEEEEHOOOOOLD!!!!! THE IMMOLATOR!!!!!! is living rent free in my head.

immolators and hellhounds are good

New to 40k, is it true everything bad is the Aeldari's fault?

Hellhounds yea, Immos not really.

builds almost a minute vs. Hellhound's 20 seconds (yeah, you need a depot for HH)

twice the energy cost
