Ty for a good 1v1, love them. On the subject of Stubborness I would say it requires a lot of Guardsmen to blob near the LC and that is just AoE bait, so it is a high risk high reward play. And LC is a rather squishy hero so he can be bursted in the 2 seconds period between ticks. P.S. The boobytrap was hillarious.
I was really rooting for the Guardsmen this game. Really cool build, and very micro-intensive. Aveend had incredible control to keep all those trash units alive for that long.
I LOVE your video's. I played dawn of war 2 when I was very young... like WAY too young haha. (I have an amazing but not so responsible gamer dad) I never finished the game bcs it was too hard for me. I am watching your video's (since a year I guess) and I am always enjoying it. I'm enjoying it so much that I decided to play dawn of war for a second time... now that I have an appropiate age to play it haha. I hope you can do a video someday of me absolutely NAILING the multiplayer version. I keep practising while you make these awesome videos. Deal? Xd PS: When do we get a face reveal???
Advice for new players 1/ Play on Friday, weekends and during European night time. 2/ Make sure to get the newest patch from forum's releases section. The (l) (ink) is in the video description. 3/ Find players to play with at the (D) (iscord) channel. The (l) (ink) is at the video description. 4/ After joining (D) (iscord), give yourself an initiate tag or completely new tag depending on your preference by going to roles channel. 5/ And most importantly, add every non-toxic player you met on Elite Mod as a (S) (team) friend. If a new person rely solely on finding a room in public room list, there is a high chance that one will suffer from taking long to find a room and skill mismatches. An optimal way to find rooms for Elite while avoiding two forementioned problems would be like below. 1/ Host a new player room and go (Dis) to (cord) looking-for-games channel to gather new players for it. 2/ Play some games 3/ Send (Ste) friend (am) invite to any and all player who were in your room and were not toxic/blaming. - Doesn't matter if they receive it or not. Keep sending. There is a nice ignore invite button to stop all invites from a player and also invite notification only happens once. These two means invite spam is not a nuisance to anyone. 4/ Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 until you gather about 15 to 20 players in your friend list. 5/ Now, you have power to host a room and fill it up in a minute or two by using both (Ste) invite (am) and informing (Dis) on (cord) any time of the day you want and with players of skills similar to you.
You are only required to buy DoW2 Retribution for multiplayer. Other games/DLCs are not needed. In addition, Elite Mod is required but it is a free mod. All replays casted in this channel are from DoW2 Retribution + Elite Mod. Retribution is the second and the last expansion of DOW2. Retribution is a standalone expansion that does not require other games for it to work. Players created Elite Mod as patch support for Retribution stopped in 2012. For this reason, Elite Mod is also needed for playing multiplayer as unmodded Retribution is largely abandoned aside from single play purposes. Same can be said about Original DOW2 and Chaos Rising the first expansion. They are bought to enjoy single player content only. Elite Mod’s main function is the balance patch support for high level 1v1 scene. However, in addition, it adds some new content too. Bug fixes New faction - Ordo Malleus(Grey Knights) New units, wargears, skills and globals for each faction New unit portraits New army skins New maps A ladder system with ratings And most importantly, community support such as replays casted on UA-cam, Regular tournaments and other events with streamers on Twitch, a regulated Discord server and a forum website
Unusual IG gameplay, but fun nevertheless. 4 x guardsmen + sentinel? Against 3 x heretics + CSM? What the hell is going on here? Stuborness is good but quite balanced for 1v1: you'll need 4 fully upgraded guardsmen squads to get 10% heal every 2 seconds and spamming one unit turns in a disaster more often than not (case and point - this game). But for 3v3 - yeah it's OP, however Elite is not balanced for 3v3 but for 1v1.
Sadly Malignant blindness doesnt affect weapon range, if a unit is in melee range of your tank the blinded lascannon can snipe it no problem Great cast as always, really high level performances by both players :)
? That wasn't particularly high skill play from either player. Pretty sloppy all around, for the IG player in particular. Any time you see someone get tabled in a 1v1, it's more an indication some f'd up than anything else
All they needed to do was just get anti armor stormtroopers vs spaming Lascannons. Double melta bombs + Power klaw commissar would srsly dent that tank
One thing I'm surprised the Elite mod has never done, despite so many people complaining about it in vanilla gameplay, is allow fortifications to be added to requisition and power points. Sure, you can "fortify" a power node, but the visual design is so minimal it's pathetic. Furthermore, I hate how difficult it is to tell which team captured a requisition point. The aura shining above it should be team-coloured.
Commie main here with 3k hours. Like someone said - you need a whole lot of models to get his Stubbornness to work, and the only way to do this is to go mass GM which are amongst the least effective when taken into account how mobile they are and how much damage they do vs how much they bleed and feed the opponent red. What you just saw is a meme build. I find myself having to opt for the other, unit healing item instead of Stubborness just to survive the GM bleed. Additionally most of IG is ranged (the only Melee unit only has 4 models) so as soon as Commie runs into the fight you lose the benefits of Stubbornness. In other words - it's not -that- powerful.
Another noob thinking that memes actually work. Variety build much more fun and effective. Did love that Nurgle tank as an obvious choice. I prefer the aoe heal of the commissar which would have been much more effective Vs all that AoE but then I never build even 3 guardsmen let alone an all T1 build half an hour in...

its rare that we see a wall of guns like this, the most guard guard player there i say
28:20 Night Lords: Puny loyalists! Where’s your bunker now?….
*beep beep beep*
WTFuuuuu… *KABOOOM*
Ive never seen a nuke used that effectively. Holy shit.
yeah, especially an Abyss, those are lucky to get one or two kills usually, more area denial than killing Nuke...
That menacing theme when the blood crusher showed up really adds to the atmosphere

2 blastmaster squads would've been fun :D or 2 more tanks instead of bloodletters

Always enjoying your upload.Thanks
Nice game. one bobby trapped bunker took out csm and another nuked bunker took out imperial guard.
What a good match, especially I am learning how to play chaos atm
Wow a such high levels for a 1v1
Which makes these games more enjoyable and relatable, not everyone can be 1000 apm players
hmm they already have the blue border around their feet when you hover over a unit, maybe that could change color by model to indicate the hp?

Thats the best one ive seen in a while
What a great game to watch.
thank you
Absolutely beautiful!
That booby trap was dirty!!! 😮
Very fun one indeed!
mass guards are awesome. glancing the chaos space marines to death until daemons are needed to pick up the job.
Epic nuke!

That Guard's play was so blinded, can't believe he last that long
That nuke was sweet justice!
Hey indrid, what controls you use for make the info/HUD disappear from the screen?
It is a .lua script that somebody (former lead modder) made for me.
Great🎉🎉🎉
nice game
All they needed to do was just get anti armor stormtroopers vs spaming Lascannons. Double melta bombs + Power klaw commissar would srsly dent that tank

oh my, Indrid. After nearly 10 years and you still have no idea about the game haha
Over ten years!
@@IndridCasts seriously, it's been that long? Jeezus. Other than Torpid, I don't think anyone else is still uploading DoW2 matches.
finally the stubbornness conversation has started. can that op hero finally get some nerfos
No.
Yes.

@@milosmilosmilos fair. honestly, as the other guy mentioned, it's more about op in 3v3. I know it's a 1v1 mod but what can you do
cool faction warZ is da b3st! oh :(
Bad map
