Dawn Of War Titanium Wars
17 rows Mar 07, 2013 Titanium Wars is a mod for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm. Black Templars: Kaurava Crusade is a mod for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, created by Thudmeizer mod team. Info: This mod brings Black Templar fighting company to vanilla DoW:Soulstorm game.Black Templars are zealous marines that prefer close combat over ranged warfare.Added BT as a separate race, this mod do not change original gameplay style of Soulstorm. The orks have a higher population limit than other races in titanium wars, I always play as Space Marines(my favourite race) but I can't even get off of my planet in campaign mode because the orks population limit is dramatically increased on the titanium wars mod, but I've completed the game loads of times on the normal edition of the game so I want to stick with titanium wars.

My general strategy is to build a Basilisk battery, and slowly advance with 5 Leman Russ and 2 Chimeras, 1 with 2 Kasrkin squads escorting psykers to detect infiltrators if needed, and 1 with 2 Techpriests. I push the tanks forward slowly, repairing as needed. The problems begin right after I take the Relic, and get out a baneblade.
At this time the AI is sending non-stop Annihlation Barges at my defenses, which consist of fixed emplacements, 8 full squads of Imperial Guard with plasma gunners, and my Honor Guard troops. They hold out pretty well, but eventually get worn down.
My advance forces can only push in really slowly, or they get torn up by Gauss Pylons. Which I have to take out first by scanning + using Earthshaker rounds from the basilisks.So, how do you beat the Necrons as Guard, playing on Normal Difficulty?

Like, I'm 3 hours into this game and just don't feel like I'm making progress. It took 3-5 hours each game for me to beat the other commanders (only necrons and SM left) so I'm not opposed to a long game, but this feels excessively punishing. Is there a way to slow the tide of enemies coming in to give me some breathing room?. So I'm starting to think this is unwinnable.I've cleared everything except the final room, where there's a nightbringer, gauss pylon, and an active monolith. The Nightbringer has 400,000 HP, and cut through my tanks like butter. I suspect that each time I load a save, everyone's unit rank resets back to 1 but their HP stays the same, so when you reload a save it bugs out and continues to increase the HP of units.
Because there's no way it's intentional that I have baneblades with like 50,000 HP, and there are enemies with 8x that.I can't even get close to it, because the Gauss Pylon can fire from half the map away if it has a unit to spot for it, doing 1,000-2,000 damage to a tank per hit. So it whittles them down pretty fast while I'm trying to press up towards it. In a despiration move I tried to deep strike all my infantry on top of the Gauss Pylon to bring it down so I can advance slowly without being beaten up by it, but no joy. They all died literally within seconds.Bah. I'll try some more tomorrow.
I'm only using them to ferry around more vulnerable troops, so I can disembark them if my tanks are being swarmed by infantry or by infiltrators. Why would that not be worth it? Its not like they're eating up vehicle cap I can use for other things, aside from maybe a few lascannon sentinels I guess. After going for 4 basilisks, 4 leman russ, a leman russ command tank, and a baneblade, I'm at 40/42 vehicle supply. Though now that I think about it. Maybe a Shadowsword instead of a Baneblade to snipe things from long range? Could be helpful to take out the Gauss Pylons from long range.
I have been playing Warhammer 40k, Dawn of War for sometime now and I like the game. I have finally come up with a strategy that seems to work out fairly well.My Strategy: I am used to setting up my base in the beginning by creating a few units mainly for capturing flags. They cannot put up much of a fight.
In the meanwhile I start also create a few fighting units for support but not much because resource is limited and I'm also doing research. Meanwhile the AI is also doing a similar thing - capturing flags, upgrading, creating fighters.The problem: After a few missions that idiotic AI has changed. So now, instead of capturing flags it first creates a few fighter units and directly sends them to my base. So when the game starts I have barely captured 2 flags when I start having enemy after enemy continuously on my base. And this ruins the fun completely. I can create more fighting units initially but it will just make a slow start not only for me but also for the stupid AI where we both capture flags very slowly to keep fighting.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I don't want to extend the level with a slow start.
After a few tries I have started using a trainer. So at the start of the level I use the trainer to quickly create some fighting units and then I continue my normal strategy and switch off the trainer.
But I don't want to play this way. Any idea what can be done? The AI in Dawn of War is pretty shocking at the best of times and frequently gets stuck at the first tech level spamming small weak units in an attempt to complete a 'tech 1 rush'. Typically you will find if you can hold off the initial wave the rest of the game will be a piece of cake seeing as you will have vehicles and they will still only have infantry.My main point of advice would be to use lots of little squads instead of upgrading one squad (i.e. I would rather have 3 different marine squads of 4 men as apposed to 1 big squad of 10).
This means you can engage multiple targets at once and if someone gets drawn into melee when you didn't really want them to you have another couple of squads to help clear the trouble).As for how to hold off this initial wave it depends on which army you are playing as and which you are fighting. For any army I would definitely say make sure you build a command unit as your first or second attacking unit seeing as the extra HP will definaiely give you a bit more thinking time (this is especially true of necrons seeing as the necron lord is the best unit you have at your disposal). From here its a matter of who you are fighting and knowing how they will rush you.Marines / Choas - Will usually play a solid game with decent AI - harass you a little at the start with marine squads but continue to push through tech levels so you will need to keep up with them technologywise. With choas be careful of cultist squads because they have a tendency to engage multiple squads in close combat at once and leave them prone to fire from another unit.Elder - they will typically throw guardian squad after guardian squad at you and then throw the occasional farseer whenever they have enough spare rec (strategy = get heavy bolters out asap - or whatever your armies equivalent is).Orks - Similar to elder, will begin by throwing squad after squad at you but with the added danger of a big mek.
This guy can be a pain in the ass because of his teleport ability which will get him to you sooner. (Strategy = you will definitely need a command unit to deal with an ork rush). If orks manage to get to get to tech 2 they are likely to start throwing wartraks at you, counter these with vehicles because their rockets will constantly knock your regular troops over.Imperial Guard - Again similar to elder, will throw lots of little units at you as well as the command squad which can be a pain because its quickly regenerates powerful units. Heavy bolters (or similar) are the way forward again.Necrons - On big maps these guys will hardly have the chance to rush you because they are so slow, but you will need to be careful of the necron lord seeing as his teleport power recharges very quick and he can get to your base super fast because of it.
Engage this guy with a command unit and have everything else you have shot at him. Probably best to keep his body surrounded as well because when they rebuild him it will revive in the same place it was last killed.Tau - Watch out for the krut rush, these can be nasty especially if they have feral leap. Lots of separate units will help with this one so that all squads are not simultaneously having to engage one squad.I didn't ever really play that much Soulstorm so I can't really say more about sisters / dark elder. I wish I could upvote this answer multiple times. FWIW I was stuck at the first appearance of the Orks.
I tried to battle them but failed miserably. Finally I used a trainer to clear off the level and even then it took me about 45 minutes with infinite resources and level caps removed, thanks to their constant rushing. But I had been doing the exact opposite of what you suggested. I had been upgrading each team to full before sending them. I'll try it the way you're suggesting.–Mar 1 '11 at 5:12. I don't know anything about that specific game, but the behavior you are describing is generally termed 'harassment' and it is a standard part of RTS gameplay. The purpose of harassment is to disrupt your opponent's strategy and slow them down so that you can get ahead of them in macro.
To deal with it, you need to find the minimal amount of defense that you can build that will stop the harassment without unnecessarily slowing down the rest of your growth. You call this a slow start, likely because it slows down when you get to build the big, cool units. But it is also a faster start in terms of when you have to start conflicting with your opponent. It certainly makes things more difficult, but there is no way to remove it from the game. You just have to learn to adjust your strategy to handle it.
Dark Crusade's AI is infamous for being hard to the point of being broken. There are mods out there to try to fix it, like Dawn of Skirmish, but mods like Titanium Wars REALLY breaks the AI.
For example, I started a game on a level 6 territory, and literally, I kid you not, in 10 seconds, I had an entire Necron army storming into my base. By 5 minutes, that was triple the size. That's not a 'difficulty', that's broken.

And all this was on 'Normal' mind you.Most people play DC either on Normal or Easy, or modded AI, because of how bad it is. But most also usually just drop DC and move on to Soulstorm with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod, which really gives you a much more balanced and extremely fun and pleasurable AI. You can approach every scenario with different tactics, as will your opponent. Easy is not too easy, Normal is a blast, and Hard is if normal is too easy. And inside the data folder is a AI modifier to further edit the AI for you.DC doesnt have much support for it, if any, at all anymore. And it's more of a broken Dark Souls type experience, if that's what you want.
