HasimirFenring Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Well this is great. I have the client and all, but when I open it up all the options in the menus are blank! I can't select anything! Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryorama Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Where can I sign up for the Beta? I'll definitely consider it - if my mom let's me get another game on the computer. I already download 10+ games a week. LOL.*Sarcasm* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 It's coming. Just a couple more weeks I think. C&C Generals/Zero Hour is about to lose a bunch of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 yeah and you'll also have the hundreds of thousands of warhammer fans that never play video games but will this one because it's 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taqwa11 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Here's the best article I have found on Warhammer 40K:http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/wh40kdawnofwar/preview_6105142.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 their reviews suck, all of em do because they have so many errors about the story and everything, yet they act like they are friggin warhammer historians. >:(and it's a chainsword, not a "powersaw". Why do they bitch about CC units getting cut down by ranged units? that's how it is in the game, to avoid this you stick em in a rhino (or any other APC) and rush em in to the enemies doorstep.it's a good preview though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWS Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Some English magazines have reviews Dawn of War. The only bad word they have is that you can only play as Blood Angels in the single player game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 yeah, I wanna play as Dark angels ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWS Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I would rather that they had a different campaign for each of teh 4 races... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Well, I can see that I need to read up on the Warhammer universe because I never even heard of Warhammer until I saw this game previewed. It looks awesome, though, and I really like how FINALLY an RTS creator sees how ridiculous it is that ten soldiers with regular machine guns can actually kill a tank (C&C Generals and Red Alert 2 come to mind).

firefly Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Well, here're my contributions to the 'pic-heavy' part of the thread. These are actual shots from the demo, showing my 'Delta Force' troops in action:*relic00000: scout/snipers secure a critical point under covering fire from marines.*relic00001: two marine squads, sporting four heavy bolters and as many missile launchers between them, lay waste to the OPFOR stronghold*delta-notest: 64x64 24-bit uncompressed .tga file to be placed in the 'Badges' subdirectory[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja_of_DooM Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Gamespot or Fileplanet. I love this demo.:D Even though you can only play marines in skirmish. But the SPS mission has Orks.:)btw it's Blood Ravens, not angels. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja_of_DooM Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 One thing I love watching is my dreadnoughts wading into a mass of assault marines and watching as they hit it with their swords to no avail. It's great how only certain weapons can do damage to certain units.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 There's a way I can import badges and banners to my armies colours, like HW2? Have you painted an army? Her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 There's a way I can import badges and banners to my armies colours, like HW2?Yes, there is - in fact, DoW and HW2 share the same specifications for custom badges - they have to be 64x64 24-bit uncompressed .tga files, placed in the 'Badges' subdirectory - so all your HW2 badges can be imported into DoW, no sweat. And as you probably know, there are several threads in the Relic forums about HW2 badges...And here're some more screenshots:*Delta attack - squad of marines using the 'Delta Force' color scheme showing intelligence by using fire as an aid to the attack (Sun Tzu 12:13)*UBCS at work - yep, that infamous corporation's clean-up crew... wouldn't be so out of place if Tyranids were in the game, but still cool*Dreadnought toss - you know that's gonna leave a mark...*Swing for the fences - Mantis Clan (a faction from Legend of the Five Rings) force commander doing exactly that.[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 I think DoW is the first RTS to be rated 'M' ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 The Nine Tiger Dynasty soldier in this shot has decided to be somewhere other than in the force commander's immediate vicinity, quick. A wise decision, considering what happened to his comrade...[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 what's your favorite unit animation?mine is when the dreadnought takes an enemy infantry unit and crushes their spine then torches em ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Well, I finally got to see the Khaine 'soldier-kabob' move...Yes, the game has dawned on stores everywhere; here's my first screen from it: a Sardaukar force commander and his squad watching ortillery lay waste to a Chaos stronghold."Death from above", indeed.[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 On a 1v1 map, a brave but ultimately doomed Toxo-Viper commander tries to hold the line against overwhelming numbers of Bene Tleilax - including their lord (harder AI). Especially unfortuitous, given that 'assassinate' is one of the victory criteria in this skirmish.Bene Tleilax badge, as well as one for the Sardaukar, included gratis.[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
