Saying your internet service provider suxxor is not a complete viable solution. If you wish to prove your point try atleast conquer beginner and intermediate league on season 2 with Necron to prove a point. Or else please stop this pointless squabbling.

Fair enough, to us each will have his / her own set of problems. I dont know what sort of warp storm are your home world currently trap under, by the throne only he knew the truth of the nature to your ISP problem.

But this accusation of Necron = brain dead race has to be stopped. I can tell you here and now this is not true. A Cron player will have to be skilled in the way the metal dead wages war else his forces will be reduced to tin foil in no time. At this very moment I type there are 2 necrons at the top 10 of DC ladder (highest rank 3) so their survival rate at higher play is almost the same with SM and eldar.

IMO Necron does the most damage when the player is skilled at it and draw it on random thus his foes aren't running a specific anti cron BO. Yes we have a few artifacts here which are on the very edge of absolute imbaness but, other than that the rest is still debatable.

cheese go play necrons its easiest 2 play

Cheese, I hav an idea......FTZ does allow online play for DOW......maybe when youre free.....you could try going online from there......atleast its an option to play online for the moment......thats what im doing here.......

Lemee see.. I just said that only. I was only commenting about that dude. Its just the rest of you guys go around  flaming that move from dota to noobcron. So dont blame me.
I dont think there ever a soundtrack for the game at all...

If any of you were like to play online in cafe, I would suggest Globalnet which  is just opposite of Darul Salam. Dark Fyre has his own personal experience over there by playing a few auto there. You might want to try that too cheese.

Globalnet is just 5 minutes walking distance from FTZ.

you must really use nrcons to their fullest potential lor
remember 2 have solar pulse which i believe determines every victory of a battle right? xD
and the 1 which reduces damages against range dont really know what is it called cause i dont use necrons =p
they got like counter to everything =(
but not every race is imba =p depends on map imoooo!!
who wants to play league games with me???
kinda sian here man

Come come Cheese Waaaagh session are on tonight, come fight with the Chapter and experience the true horror of War at 40k universe. Intel told me Warboss Hunt will honour us with his presence.

Damn, the comic rocks......i really love the art.......Cheese, youre like one of our brother thats isolated from the chapter due to a warpstorm.....We really hope that youo could join us at the WAAAAGGHHHh session once in a while......it would be great to see someone who has been supporting DOW for so long from a distance......

Omigosh.. 24 hours no reply.. if this keep up we might be at the bottom.

If we cant sustain this thread all hope is lost i tell you, ALL HOPE IS LOST!!

I will be dead before i allow this thread to fall......Faith is eternal....

How often you guys play online? Might give it a shot this weekend - I'm currently practicing against computer on hard mode.

Your Faith is strong but it wont change the outcome.

Say... I was thinking up a challenge to spread the LYNK banner far and wide into the DOW:DC ladder. But I would guess most of us are tie down one way or another. Let me know if any of u are interested

U using a router? Model number?

Have u tried

www.portforward.com

yet?

Port forward doesnt help if he is using Maxis HSPDA broadband. Maxis blocked most of the ports and limited to 3GB data traffic with an unacceptable reason.
as long as u have the 6112 UDP openned, u can host game.

What races do Necrons have a hard time against? I don't really see how that's possible considering the strength of it's hero, plus it's basic units have both formidable ranged and melee. But do please enlighten me, I'm learning!

Damn, sounds like you have really been blocked......have you asked Maxis, whether they can unblock certain ports for you......

waaa everybody seems to be enjoying the league hehehehhe
oh well im quite busy at the moment hopefully i can finish up the league by this week end hmm

my frens ar....no hope d la haizz.....ask them join they juz join, then do nothing.

So any of you guys got MSN? Come kick my ass please!

And thanks Cheese for the heads up about the AI. Much more fun now. Working my way up from hard to harder. Hope to play insane this week.

bryan, you can add me, MSN addy at my profile.

Cheese, any mods you know offer their own campaign ??

Yeah cheese any mods that have a nice SP campaign??

You can now play the Daemonhunters, a branch of the Inquisition in charge of destroying daemons, chaos cults and all chaotic influence from the Imperium.

Sapce Hulk 1
========
Description:
Hi guys! Space Hulk Coop is a Modification of the RTS game Dawn of War. Coop is by no means a multi-player only style of game, but a more fast and furious style. The only things that differs from the "Coming Soon" Single Player edition is Weapon Jams and Blip markers. Space Hulk is all about Strategy and a players ability to work out the odds! In Single Player e.g. is the corridor long enough for me to clear a jam if I get one. Coop is similar e.g. is this corridor long enough for me to kill the next on coming horde. Which is harder, humm... I would say that they are about the same - the main difference is in Coop you tend to go down faster if you loose some Terminators. This is why it is called Coop, the game design was created to handle 2/3 squads of terminators versa 2 possible AI enemies Chaos Warp Spawns or of course Genestealers. You can put in some AI Terminator squads if you need the help, I built the squads on top of the normal Dawn of War AI. So they will move around and engage the enemy while you complete the mission. I would recommend playing online as well, the code has been setup so that allied squads can complete the mission objectives as well.

This new Version of Space Hulk Coop : version 0.8 has some new features in it. One is of course some new maps. More cooler than that is the new Retrieve Relic Mission Type. There is a relic on the map naturally and you have to get it, once a terminator grabs it he becomes the relic holder. Then you must protect the relic holder and get him to the designated exit. If the Relic holder is killed then the enemy gets the relic and you fail the mission. The real catch is that the exit point is random. It might not be in the same place next time you play, hehe! And Cooler than that, I have added a new kill team - Enter the Necrons! Now, they looked why to cool not to have them in their. Don't panic Necrons fans, I didn't do a dodge job! They have their own UI and their own unique abilities. Terminator's are more robust (as you would expect), but the Necrons have strong abilities that makes up for strength. I would be interested to hear from any Necron fans about them. I haven't done an AI for the Necrons so you would be on your own with that one. I have also done a Necron ship interior to complete the Necron Feel.

Space Hulk 2 : Descent to Purgatorum
=========================
Description:
This is a must have for Space Hulk Players. This is really polished stuff. I have significantly reduced the possibility of jamming if not firing. I say significantly, as it is still possible - but unlikely. They definitely won't jam if their not near the fight. I have all so added hot keys for all the abilities, this makes life so much easier. With the help of Hanger-8, we have setup up a new painter. So there is almost no limit to the customization of your termi squad.
