Oh god I know this is like, too late to help you, but this works in all the original DOW games so maybe soulstorm or dark crusade will be saved this pain: Instead of clicking the reinforcement button every single time, you can right click it and it will automatically queue up reinforcements until the squad is full. Doing this on slugga boyz, cultists or guardsmen will save a lot of micro-management pain in battle, and give you cannon fodder a longer lifetime. Also when I say queue up I mean that once its done producing a model, it will automatically start again, but the actual queue will not fill up, so you can add stuff in without messing up the auto-queue. This works for weapons, and adding nobs/Sergeants as well, which is most useful if you have a slow economy.

[@tobbe2363]

Hooooooly shit that WOULD have been so usefull you are right! Good advice is never too late. If this works on the other expansions i Will name a child after you! Might not be mine but someones child will be renamed in your honour!.

[@davoid1792]

@@tobbe2363 an open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded, knowledge is power, use it wisely. Also Ork economy is kinda weird, their defense turrets also work to boost their WAAAAAGH! Resource, so just build a ton of them, and you’ll be fine. It’s different to the standard, similar to the Necrons where you only have power as a resource, instead strategic points simply speed everything up.

[@judahsmyth5398]

i have yet to play either of the sequels to Dawn of war, however i've loved the dark crusade and Soulstorm expansions of the first game ever since i was a young child, the fact you can choose your faction/race, and all the different maps you can play on i really enjoy

[@judahsmyth5398]

my favorite playstyle in them being spamming earthshaker rounds from basilisks with a Baneblade to protect them, as odd as that might sound given the Baneblade is supposed to be your mega-tank that moves ahead of your army to level your foes

[@tobbe2363]

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to trying them both out!.

[@judahsmyth5398]

@@tobbe2363 great, also, in case you didn't tell from the comment itself, the "campaign" is quite different to base game/winter assault, as in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, you choose a faction, and then fight over regions of a planet/planets, each region giving you a different bonus, for example elite units you can bring into battles or starting with more resources, the main difference to me is that in Dark Crusade anything you build remains when/if you fight there again, whereas in Soulstorm it basically all resets, but outside of battles you can buy buildings that will spawn in at the beginning, and will stay as long as they aren't destroyed

Ngl Winter Assault can be hard, especially when you control squishy faction like the Imperial Guard. But....with a bit of strategy they can survive the slaughter. *Mission 3 on hard mode is really sweaty, the defense mission had high chance of failure if you're not fully prepared and take down the Ork's giant beast.

I used to play the shit out of this game when the 2nd expansion came out. Remember the games when Ork players could win by crashing enemies game to desktop because they had so many units. Remember a match where we duked it out in 4 players free for all and in minute 25 someone asked on all chat "wait.... did anyone see Necron guy?" Which was followed by "Oh no..." and a curbstomp provided by a monolith. Wondering if DoW1 is still alive and playable in multi. Anyone?

[@tobbe2363]

and our parents told us to go outside and play, would we have these memories If we did mom?! I think not. Oh it 100% has to be

[@fluffybat5421]

People still play soulstorm yeah, modded soulstorm as well. I highly recommend it.

[@Ghostly_One1]

Ork "economy" is largely the same as others, only difference is how you unlock some of the tech. If memory serves, you can build basic squads as is, but to get more boyz added into any of them you need to make waagh banners, the red towers with a gretchin on a gun atop. Basically your turrets. That in turn adds you these red kinda points (I think infantry and vehicle cap too), which are used to add boyz to squads. And the more banners and thus boyz you have, the higher your WAAAGH! meter goes, and in turn tech level. There are a few things that require the HQ building upgrade, but that in turn still requires the meter at a certain level, so its pmuch all the same still. Not sure if WA had that extra armor research thing in vehicle building to make the big shit like Squiggoths yet if if that came in DC.
