Finally, the first time I can truly play DC since its release! DoS did nothing short of deliver exactly what I wanted to see in this game.
SummaryThis is a 2v2v2v2. I am IG with an IG ally, vs teams of Tau, Chaos, and Necrons, on Harder difficulty, on Penal Colony.
I knew I was in for a loss when Tau spawned beside me. IG infantry just get destroyed by Tau as is displayed in this replay. I tried to go for vehicles but constant harassment and a failed attempt to save my ally inevitably spelled doom. I did get a basilisk which held off the Tau for quite some time, but the Chaos team paid a visit with an outstanding dual predator push that had already slaughtered my hapless ally. From then on it's a 2v2 Tau vs Chaos vehiclefest. I am amazed how fast the Tau got Hammerheads and I look forward to improving that even more with a Hammerhead rush script in the late future.
There's only two things I can point out. First off, the Tau kept tried to cap my points while getting shot at or while being next to my dudes.
Second, after I die, there's a fight in the middle near a critical point. There's a vespid squad that just kinda flails around in a tight area for some time while reinforcing, even though they're losing ground to the Chaos forces.
To add onto that, I am not sure how the Necrons died so fast, as I only saw a pack of scarabs in the entire game, but it might be worth checking out to see how to better improve their rush defenses.
The IG rightfully went to vehicles, but the turret he built was at his expansion. If that turret had been in his main base, he would have probably lasted considerably longer.
This replay is titled Malkor200pwn. It stands for Malkor's replay of 2.00 beta 1, pwn.
