Hi guys,

I have never ever encountered the Necron Nightbringer (or Deceiver) when I fight Necrons. Even when my game last well over half an hour and the Monolith is out.

Is this intentional?

Regrettably it is because IronLore screwed the AI in Soulstorm re: Possession of either the NightBringer or Deceiver. There was no code exported for the AI to choose from two different possessable entities. :( I asked Relic devs to fix this after Soulstorm was released but likely it will never. Oh well.. can't get everything in life.

Its not a showstopper -- by the time you let the Necron AI get to Tier4 yer long since dead man walking. Muhahah!

No way! Not in Soulstorm 1.2.

The Necron economy is so bad now the AI is half as powerful as it was in Dark Crusade. Once you win 1 battle vs Necrons you have won the game. They simply cant come back to the game as quickly as before.

Obviously not entirely DoS's fault. The new patch just ruined them... ;)
