LardO'Blood Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 How "tactical" is online play in DoW I? Is it like some games where you just rush to get the biggest and baddest stuff as fast as possible? What are your favorite DoW tactics? I like rhino rushing ;) Do you make lots of 4 heavy/special weapon space marine teams or full squads with 4 heavy/special weapons? Do you make your space marine squads specialists or generalists? (Ex. All plasma guns vs 1 of everything) How much of a difficulty leap is it in DoW from playing against AI and other people?

Brother Smitty Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I usually like to form a gun line with 3 or 4 Tac Sqds with 2 missle, 1 HB and 1 plasma. Add to this 3 or 4 scout sqds with snipes as support and you're set. Drop pod dreads X2 for the finishing touch and either turrets (if defensive) or a hellfire dread/whirlwind and it'll be a tough nut to crack. With this setup attach the usal chappie, libby and commander and nothing will breach it.

Gv0zD Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 All-plasma tact (1 or 2) and 1 or 2 Assault squads to deal with infantry. As for the HQ I take Libby (his 'shield' ability rocks) and apothecaries. For fire support use regular dreads with lascannon upgrade.

majorpayne327 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I usually take the defensive role. I build a solid defense and max out everything then as the other team rushes I sit and slaughter them with my deense turrets and then storm the base. For squads I only use all flamers and all heavy bolters but if I'm going against an decently strong tank force (like eldar fire prisms) then I'll mix heavy bolters and missle launchers. Now when you say DOW I, which do you mean? all of them or the orriginal DOW title? the reason why I ask is that each game gets progressivley more challenging when you have to consider new races.
