Since there is nothing truly important or new to report, I am going to simply post about the PC game that I have been playing once again. It is called Dawn of War. It is a Real-Time Strategy game based off of the GamesWorkshop universe Warhammer: 40,000. The best RTS since StarCraft, DoW uses squads as the base unit instead of the individual soldier. Since the recent expansion, seven races battle across the universe for domination of resources and territory. The newest expansion, Dark Crusade, bring in the latest two races the Tau and the Necrons. Since the Tau were my army for the table-top version of the game, I have been playing them mostly.
Why did I choose the Tau?
1. 'Mechs with railguns and missles.
2. The closest you can come to "Good" in the 40k universe. And by good I mean neutral. And by neutral I mean they just want to conquer the universe, not cleanse or destroy it. Yeah, real good.
Fortunately, everything from the Tau that has been put into the table-top game has been put into the RTS counter-part. Walking mobile artillery battlesuits with rail-cannons on their backs. Stealthsuits that have the ability to cloak and fire burst cannons at the enemy. Meat eating Kroot Carnivores with primitive rifles who leap through the air at their prey to fight them in close-combat. The Tau have it all. What's more, if you tell them that you will join their empire and fight for the "Greater Good," they won't kill you and let you fight alongside them.
Anyhow, the gameplay is a lot of fun. Try it.
WS out.
woot, Tau pwn.
ReplyDeletealso, you best be able to play some eberron next sunday biatch!!
Awesome, I want to get this game and when I do we should play a big old multiplayer game. (if we can get it working)
ReplyDeletejosh needs to lrn2intarwebs for that to happen.
ReplyDeletefuk.foodandrentsuxxxxxs!
ReplyDeleteTau FTW. Broadsides are way too much fun. Also, the Kroot are useful! Who knew? Big multiplayer ftw also. We may have to LAN it up or something over winter break.
ReplyDeleteWTF are Tau anyway?
ReplyDeleteDolphins with hooves. That's what they are.
ReplyDeleteLip from josh, me likes.
ReplyDeleteIf ()
Dolphinswithhooves == Tau
Then ()
Tau == SuperRetarded
endif
wait, are you fucking serious?
ReplyDeletehooooves! loot at my hoooooves!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you can fit 3 full Broadside squads into a Devilfish.
ReplyDeleteThis opens limitless possibilities.
necrons ftw.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't really dolphins. They do have hooves, but in their faces they have a nice large indentation. Hence the dolphins. The Necrons are cheating. Talk about over-powered. Free Necron Warriors that start out awesome and need no upgrades? But, by the same right, they are fun as hell to play.
ReplyDeletepfft.. yeah, and 17 thousand health on the damn krootox and no limit to how many you can get (save for army size limit) isn't over-powered? kthx.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the Tau, they've got some power to them. They are real nice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the Knarloc just doesn't really go down. Then again, neither do any of the mega-units.
ReplyDeleteI need to get me some Krootox.
