Stoic Raptor Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm only level 10, so typically my force consists of 2 squads of 2 Terminators, and a 6-man Tactical Squad. Every time I try Support instead, they get wiped out - but the Tactical live longer. If Support is better, what am I doing wrong?

Adra'Melek Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Don't let them get attacked. I usually send in terminators first and support (get it?) with the support guys. although I've only played one Skirmish game back when I first started and haven't bothered since.

spu00sed Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My usual battle groups are 2 dreadnaughts, 5 terminators, 4 terminators 6 support, 6 support 4 bikers The first two battle groups go one way to destroy supply crates and cause the top control point The bikers go for the bottom control point. If my opponent ignores them then I beacon them to the remaining bottom supply, net gain, then emp the enemy into the ground and bloodlust My relics give me +38% Dreadnaught health +27% troop health* +20% bloodlust damage bonus +17% troop damage* +23% starting energy +41% tech shard chance +19% troop speed (plus EC bonus) +19% whirlwind damage +20% las cannon damage (not used as I am running 3 beakers and two whirlwinds) *i have no idea if troop means tactical squads, infantry or any squads.

Stoic Raptor Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can anyone speculate as to why I'm not accruing Machine Spirit today? I've fought a number of battles and taken several locations, some AI and others player bases (no PvP though). Still, my Machine Spirit counter says 0. I had some before and used it for an upgrade. Why wouldn't I be getting the Machine Spirit awards I'm being shown at the end of each battle?

Stoic Raptor Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cute Angron (and the adorable cartoon art style in general) in the promotional material and preview videos was 1/2 of the reason I had been waiting to see this game in action It kind of reminds me of the Chibi primarchs that are sold by Legendarion: http://legendarion.com/gron-chibi-angron.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/10/#findComment-3961036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Spirits seem to spawn more the longer you are offline, I have found.

spu00sed Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have found that the maximum that spawn is three of the golden beacon things. They either give out machine spirit or tech relics. I think that after a certain number of hours one spawns, unless you have already the maximum.

Conn Eremon Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think time also determines how much is in that spot, as I tend to get something like 3 to 30 pieces of machine spirit from a spot, and I seem to find the bigger loads in the morning, when I've been offline for at least a third of the day, compared to being off for, say, an hour.

Stoic Raptor Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ah, that clarifies it for me. I guess I was getting most of my early Spirit gains from Achievements.

Conn Eremon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did you close and restart the program? And I mean fully close out first? Happened to me once, and only went back up when I did a full boot of the app. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/10/#findComment-3961486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Problem solved, had to restart the app. On a side note, lv 16, three techpriests, the territories 80% in my hands, rank 15 in skirmish and I already have a three bonus relic. SoH are to my liking, the extra energy is a great bonus, means four orbital strikes or one more haywire in skirmish, both life savers.

Stercus Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I shouldn't worry too much. Mine gets beasted about twice a day. You can make the lost resources and glory back by dumping on someone else.

Jolemai Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 True. It's just that you think you've cracked it and then someone attacks from somewhere else... Meanwhile, I'm utterly useless in PvP (always have been). My 3 TDA, 6 Tactical and 4 Support get owned regularly. Did someone shout, "Free glory?".

Cactus Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I find this game quite dull, but something keeps pulling me back to fiddle with space marines for ten minutes. How are people seeing replays of their base being attacked? I get the notifications on the left of the screen but they don't do anything when I press them. This is why I loathe touchscreens. I expect, nay demand, a context sensitive tooltip to appear when I move the cursor over something. And right-clicking to bring up a menu of things I can do. Also, how do you know if a base on the map is one designed by another player rather than by the game? I don't mean PvP skirmish, those are clearly labelled.

Jolemai Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 They are labelled differently, usually with an icon (or two if guilded) below their name.

Stercus Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 EMP (haywire) will freeze them for a few seconds, otherwise you need dominate to make them shoot at each other. Whichever you use, it doesn't buy you much time, but it's often enough to give you some stomping room.
