You see, if you count to ten with your fingers, you open both hands. So if you count beyond that, you close some of the fingers, so you're less than ten again. I'd say, the Orkz counting makes sense.
Orks are a race of psykers, if they believe in something hard enough and enough of them do so they make it reality. A box, a piece of lead, and a cardboard tube for them produces a machine gun with infinite ammo capable of breaching tank armor simply because they believe that is what happens. So for orks if they count to ten then what is that 10, ten orks? Ten thousand orks? Ten million orks? Ten billion orks? If they believe it then it happens.

There's some bug in the computer Orc AI on that second map where they will just keep building units whenever they can. I remember having a giant, hour-long fight killing close to a thousand orcs as I walked step by step closer to their base. It was the best thing I ever experienced in that game.
Dark Crusade is the most exploitable Dawn of War in the campaign, because the buildings stay between missions. Meaning you can fill every map with Waaagh Banners and they basically instantly kill attackers bases when they spawn in...
@@lynarisevershadeshadowfall1684 Actually, I think soulstorm just clears out an area around base spawn points, I think you could still fill up the rest of the map with stuff to at least keep your enemy pinned down while you quickly build up a super army.
Sadly they patched that out, BUT if you play as the Necrons, you're only one Upgrade away from having three Mobile Artillery Platforms that spam out units. At the same time, you'll own all but 2 Listening Posts and the small area around where their base spawns (which is where the OG base was when you invaded)

The best ork exploit is that you can fill a map with WAAAGH turrets and then no matter who invades that map it will be super easy to defend, just leave a corner for the enemy base and that's it, no one will ever retake that map ever again.
For some reason I'm getting Helsreach vibes from the prospect of Da Orks being the final boss of 2020. EDIT: *Turns toward servant* "Fetch me my Hat and Baneblade!"
Same, especially being able to use the resurrection orb before the last balance patches to get 5 more warriors squads up to a cap limit of 35/20. And then teleport like 11 squads to the monolith teleporting right into a base!
Necrons are so broken. Their lord who doesn't actually die, just falls down and takes a nap until you respawn him. Then he gets right back up where he was and starts killing. Then the base, which can literally fly at the enemy, and start nuking them, and if it dies? Well no big deal, it just teleports back to its starting spot and rebuilds itself before returning to the fight. I remember the only way I could find to combat Necrons was to play as imp guard, and just get so many grenade launchers out in the field that the enemy necros couldn't move they get knocked back constantly by explosions.
Yeah they really were. Tbh the vehicles really felt weak though, that said, some immortals amongst the warriors, and rhe warriors themselves were too good. Also the nightbringer being damn invulnerable was crazy
i remember a exploit i found where as the imperial guard, i could infinitely make tech priests. watching a sea of tech priests kill everything was fun.
And I recently... Found a glitch that makes your techpriest disappear into nothingness, and now you're stuck with one less worker. Yeah, maybe that's not as exciting :D (well, I guess technically that would work on any limited infantry unit)
canonically, orks have this power that allows any sort inherent belief in a technology to work, that it applies to the real world. for instance, if a car is painted red, it will go faster if they think it will which is how they get their starships to work and their weapons to fire. so this exploit could in theory be functional to the orks in 40k
Salty, yeah the 4/5th ed codex for orks explains humans once tried to fire a gun but couldn't. When they took it apart it was just a mess of internals. However, they gave it to a captured ork and he was able to fire it. It's also why they don't have to reload in dow or canonically. They don't know they need to.
"You'd probably need an entire dumper truck of dice to roll all of those shots" Cut to an actual ork player, after rolling all those shots. "And that comes to five hits. Good old orkish accuracy."
@@korstmahler Orks are holistic warriors. Most soldiers are more concerned with where the bullets end up, and don't concern themselves with things like "Keeping them company", "giving them a grand send-off", and of course, "taking them to new and interesting places".
You can still do something like this in multiplayer. Get the tech "More Sluggaz" that makes Shoota Boyz free, then build 4-5 Boyz Huts, and set those Huts to auto-produce Slugga Boyz. For each of those huts, set the rally point to be inside the enemy base. You soon have a stream of free Orks constantly heading into the enemy base, and whenever a unit is killed a Hut will just create another unit that will head back to the same location. You might just use the Huts to keep the enemy distracted with the constant infantry, and build vehicles to perform your own tactics
If you right click add new squad members or one of the other upgrades in a unit squad, it will flash and then reinforce automatically without you having to do anything until it reaches the maximum.
This would also fit for the Imperial Guard considering the fact that their usual strategy is throwing endless waves of cheaply equipped and rapidly trained soldiers to prove that one can in fact die from a million papercuts
except orks reproduce by spores and pop out of the ground. on top of this, when they die they release a huge spore cloud that could easily spawn thousands of orks within a week. lol 9 month incubation periods
@@gremlinbd Not only that, but Orks are born fully grown with essentially all the knowledge they will ever need. They can be born and cobble together a basic pistol out of scrap and harsh language within a day.
@@alexander1112000 ah, another man of culture... but I do have to correct you a bit. They are not "full grown" as they always grow as long as they have enough violent stimulus. It's more accurate to say they are "born" human sized.
@@gremlinbd Fair enough. I said they are "fully grown" as a way to denote that they have no infant/child stage of life and are born as, effectively, adult Orks, but yes they do continue growing the more combat they engage in. Which has some interesting implications for what's gonna happen with both Kryptman's gambit with Leviathan and the new, improved Eye of Terror spanning the galaxy. However the Imperium manages to survive that, they're gonna have some really big, killy Orks on their hands.
Necrons used to have a exploit that was *patched,* that would allow insane army sizes as well, without the need to save files. Using the Necron Lord's _Resurrection ability_ the army cap could be built up from start again when troops were killed, and the the Resurrected army could exceed the cap. It goes like this: Build up units to the cap of 20. Get those units killed in combat. Build up more units to replace those - you don't have to wait for the original units to *all* be killed, just send a steady stream of fresh troops towards the _big battles location_ where the enemy has a concentration of forces, and make sure that everyone dies in the same vicinity. This can be easily accomplished by planting a assembly point flag from the Monolith (the Necron barracks) at the battle site so troops march there as soon as they are spawned. You can keep your squad cap at the max 20 units during all this. And when the Necron Lord (the commander) is rebuilt, he reappears where he died, not back at base, so he's ready to cast right in the middle of the action. Once there is a nice big pile of corpses in the one area, have the Necron Lord cast _Resurrection_ and *ALL* the dead Necrons are … … … _Resurrected._ This can be ridiculously high, so high that the game becomes several frames per second… several seconds per frame. At this point the Necron army vapourises anything within range, Necrons are good all round shooters and half decent melee with their base troopers. And here's the really fun part, this trick worked with any Necron soldier (unique units excepted). Teleporting melee specialist, building and vehicle killers, whoever. This massive army would just obliterate all, and being shooters for the base unit it was easier to manoeuvre to kill the enemy. And all Necrons can teleport to a Necron building, so just move a Monolith towards the enemy - you could also have more than one active mobile Monolith super unit. They then patched to stop this and now your Resurrection only works to bring the total number of Necrons to a little bit above the standard cap of 20, one squads worth - so about 22 tops. But it was fun while it lasted.
@@dadtaro9202 The original exploit was in Dark Crusade. Made the campaign a cakewalk as necrons. They patched that game and by the time Soulstorm came round it automatically applied the patch if you hadn't updated Dark Crusade.

I'm surprised Spiff hasn't come across the Necron exploit for the same: - Get a Necron Lord - Research the resurrect ability - Produce a bunch of necrons and delete the units all in the same area - Produce another bunch of necrons - Use the resurrect in the fallen necrons - Profit I don't know if there is a limit of this, apart from the resurrect area limit

The mushroom thing is actually ingenious. It basically guarantees that Orks can easily reproduce via spores that they are passively seeping from their bodies, and when they fight and get killed even more spores spread. Also, it serves as a food source.

Base game Soulstorm Sisters of Battle can have infinite resources because the icon of faith construction goes up in cost every time you build one, but in the base game when you disband it you get back the resources you would have spent on the next one not the one you ordered. So you just inifinitely start and cancel construction for infinity resources.
From what I recall, Orks being fungal beings was something that they learned from the early days of Warhammer fantasy. Yeah, originally Orks in Fantasy were just regular people but the problem with that logic is the simple fact that Orks churn through bodies like nobodies business so they'd have to be making a lot of babies to keep up with demand. It was changed to a fungus so that people didn't have to think of the horrors of Orks constantly shagging.
Spiff, I'm going through your old videos and I used to play Dawn of War a ton! Funny story, I actually was pushing my power supply too hard with my PC back when I played Dawn of War a lot (Video card was causing the power supply to constantly run in 'overdrive mode') and one night while playing with a friend the power supply overloaded and nearly caught fire. So when you're talking about 'burst into flames' at 18:14 during Dawn of War play, it felt very personal. Thanks for the shout-out!

And then teleport like 11 squads to the monolith teleporting right into a base!
Necrons are so broken. Their lord who doesn't actually die, just falls down and takes a nap until you respawn him. Then he gets right back up where he was and starts killing. Then the base, which can literally fly at the enemy, and start nuking them, and if it dies? Well no big deal, it just teleports back to its starting spot and rebuilds itself before returning to the fight. I remember the only way I could find to combat Necrons was to play as imp guard, and just get so many grenade launchers out in the field that the enemy necros couldn't move they get knocked back constantly by explosions.
Yeah they really were.

@@lebrusk6044 Soulstorm... not for Dark Crusade.... most (if not all) of the extra "races" are Soulstorm mods.
@@JEilonwyn well wé still have steel guard, deamonhunters, ministorum and nyds. If only they could finish the ministorum mod
@@lebrusk6044 there is also Mechanicus, Witch Hunters, and Imperial Fists to name a few others.
i remember a exploit i found where as the imperial guard, i could infinitely make tech priests. watching a sea of tech priests kill everything was fun.
And I recently... Found a glitch that makes your techpriest disappear into nothingness, and now you're stuck with one less worker. Yeah, maybe that's not as exciting :D
(well, I guess technically that would work on any limited infantry unit)
canonically, orks have this power that allows any sort inherent belief in a technology to work, that it applies to the real world. for instance, if a car is painted red, it will go faster if they think it will which is how they get their starships to work and their weapons to fire. so this exploit could in theory be functional to the orks in 40k
And best of all, they can breathe in space because they don't know they shouldn't be able to.
So basically if they believe their tanks are da best then they’ll actually work even if they’re a bunch of scrap
That's how they work salty. In the codex they explain humans can't get them to work and have no idea how they do
@@backlogbuddies that is some of the greatest 40K lore O have ever heard
Salty, yeah the 4/5th ed codex for orks explains humans once tried to fire a gun but couldn't. When they took it apart it was just a mess of internals. However, they gave it to a captured ork and he was able to fire it.
It's also why they don't have to reload in dow or canonically. They don't know they need to.
"You'd probably need an entire dumper truck of dice to roll all of those shots"
Cut to an actual ork player, after rolling all those shots.
"And that comes to five hits. Good old orkish accuracy."
To be fair, those five hits killed two war titans and a couple hundred chaos marines.
only 5 hit but those 5 hit 500 times "I shoota da dakka an Is'd it un sa I shoota gan un gan un gan ma gork bluss ma wit oh mus dakka
More dakka!
Sprinting while firing is an Ork tradition. They are one of the only factions that don't stop to steady a rocket launcher after all.
@@korstmahler Orks are holistic warriors. Most soldiers are more concerned with where the bullets end up, and don't concern themselves with things like "Keeping them company", "giving them a grand send-off", and of course, "taking them to new and interesting places".
"Traffic Jam of Orks" is now the new definition for a gigantic group
You can still do something like this in multiplayer. Get the tech "More Sluggaz" that makes Shoota Boyz free, then build 4-5 Boyz Huts, and set those Huts to auto-produce Slugga Boyz. For each of those huts, set the rally point to be inside the enemy base. You soon have a stream of free Orks constantly heading into the enemy base, and whenever a unit is killed a Hut will just create another unit that will head back to the same location. You might just use the Huts to keep the enemy distracted with the constant infantry, and build vehicles to perform your own tactics
If you right click add new squad members or one of the other upgrades in a unit squad, it will flash and then reinforce automatically without you having to do anything until it reaches the maximum.
This would also fit for the Imperial Guard considering the fact that their usual strategy is throwing endless waves of cheaply equipped and rapidly trained soldiers to prove that one can in fact die from a million papercuts
except orks reproduce by spores and pop out of the ground. on top of this, when they die they release a huge spore cloud that could easily spawn thousands of orks within a week. lol 9 month incubation periods

@@alexander1112000 ah, another man of culture... but I do have to correct you a bit. They are not "full grown" as they always grow as long as they have enough violent stimulus. It's more accurate to say they are "born" human sized.
@@gremlinbd Fair enough. I said they are "fully grown" as a way to denote that they have no infant/child stage of life and are born as, effectively, adult Orks, but yes they do continue growing the more combat they engage in.

The greatest WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! the world has ever seen.
I think you mean WAG
OY, DAS DA BEST WAAAGH IN DA GALAXY YA GIT! YOU GOT SQUIGS FER BRAINS!?
Necrons used to have a exploit that was *patched,* that would allow insane army sizes as well, without the need to save files.
Using the Necron Lord's _Resurrection ability_ the army cap could be built up from start again when troops were killed, and the the Resurrected army could exceed the cap.
It goes like this:
Build up units to the cap of 20.
Get those units killed in combat.
Build up more units to replace those - you don't have to wait for the original units to *all* be killed, just send a steady stream of fresh troops towards the _big battles location_ where the enemy has a concentration of forces, and make sure that everyone dies in the same vicinity. This can be easily accomplished by planting a assembly point flag from the Monolith (the Necron barracks) at the battle site so troops march there as soon as they are spawned.
You can keep your squad cap at the max 20 units during all this.
And when the Necron Lord (the commander) is rebuilt, he reappears where he died, not back at base, so he's ready to cast right in the middle of the action.
Once there is a nice big pile of corpses in the one area, have the Necron Lord cast _Resurrection_ and *ALL* the dead Necrons are …
…
…
_Resurrected._
This can be ridiculously high, so high that the game becomes several frames per second… several seconds per frame.
At this point the Necron army vapourises anything within range, Necrons are good all round shooters and half decent melee with their base troopers.
And here's the really fun part, this trick worked with any Necron soldier (unique units excepted).
Teleporting melee specialist, building and vehicle killers, whoever.
This massive army would just obliterate all, and being shooters for the base unit it was easier to manoeuvre to kill the enemy.
And all Necrons can teleport to a Necron building, so just move a Monolith towards the enemy - you could also have more than one active mobile Monolith super unit.
They then patched to stop this and now your Resurrection only works to bring the total number of Necrons to a little bit above the standard cap of 20, one squads worth - so about 22 tops.
But it was fun while it lasted.
is this patched for dark crusade or soulstorm

i imagine that whenever Spiff types a game name into google it auto adds 'exploit' onto the end of the search
I'm surprised Spiff hasn't come across the Necron exploit for the same:
- Get a Necron Lord
- Research the resurrect ability
- Produce a bunch of necrons and delete the units all in the same area
- Produce another bunch of necrons
- Use the resurrect in the fallen necrons
- Profit
I don't know if there is a limit of this, apart from the resurrect area limit
There is however a limit to the number of units you can resurect
I only ever got to around 40 units with this, any higher and you can't get enough units to die in the same place.
I basically used the same strategy on Company of Heroes multiplayer with my mate; build Tiger Tank, blow up with Goliath, rinse and repeat until you have lots of dead hulls. Friend deploys Bergetiger repair tank and resurrects all the Tigers, taking you well over your pop cap.

Awesome loophole.
From what I recall, Orks being fungal beings was something that they learned from the early days of Warhammer fantasy. Yeah, originally Orks in Fantasy were just regular people but the problem with that logic is the simple fact that Orks churn through bodies like nobodies business so they'd have to be making a lot of babies to keep up with demand. It was changed to a fungus so that people didn't have to think of the horrors of Orks constantly shagging.

Spiff and Josh from Let's Game It Out should do a collab on how to destroy a video game
This was hands down my favorite warhammer rts game by a mile! I played this campaign so many times. but i always played as Necrons because they were so overpowered!! I need to replay it again and finally play a full campaign as another race, its just the elite units you get from capturing areas are just so overpowered! Once you get like 3 special units you can beat a map in minutes!!

A regular human of the Imperial Army (the guard didn’t exist yet), stood between Horus and the Emperor, delaying the demonized primarch long enough for the Emperor to escape. Granted, it was all of like 4 seconds, but it was still enough.
*cadia broke before the guard did*
If you right-click on the Reinforce Squad or Build Unit button, it will set it to auto-use as long as you have the resources and no other units are being produced.
2:15 because if you’ve ever seen what female Orks look like in Blood Bowl, then you’d understand why they were changed to spore-producing mushroom men.
