Since quite a few people have taken a liking to Dark Crusade on the forums, but only seen a couple of people actually playing, I've taken to creating a game night for some mass-gaming. This Friday and Saturday (5th/6th January) at 2100 GMT, a 8 man free-for-all match will be held. The rules are 'annihilate' only. You only need DC to play, although if you do not want to be one of the 2 (ghey) races that DC offers, then you'll need to original and WA too. The time can be changed if a majority of people want to do it earlier/later, I'm not really bothered tbh, I just want a fun match, rather than 1v1ing Shinzon and losing all the time. There are only 8 slots, so if you want to play then say so, if there are loads of people wanting to play (which I find highly unlikely =P), then I'll set up a second match on the same day, but at a different time. Around 10-30 minutes before 2100 GMT, it would be nice if everyone came onto Hamachi so we can get sorted and be bang on time. If you don't have it (unlikely looking at people in the channel list) then the channel is called: EmpSupCom - Password: Krenzo So, the slots as they stand are: Saturday: 1. Deiform 2. Dee 3. grayclay 4. MrBojangl3s 5. Shinzon 6. 7. 8. Was a good game on Saturday. Just need a couple more people, maybe a 3v3 or 4v4. List of detector units: Eldar: Warlocks (leader of guardian squads), seer council Space Marine: Libarian, Skull probes (they dont die over time now) Chaos Space Marines: cultists, chaos sorcerer Orks: Big Mek, Warboss, Mecha Aarmoured Nobz Tau: Vespids and Pathfinders IG: Psykers and the detection ability from the command center. necrons: builder scarabs and wraiths.
-_- I don't know if take and hold will be more insane than no take and hold. Dunno, remove take and hold everyone?
If we remove take and hold, people will cry because the likely thing of people double teaming will happen; I don't really want that. Take and Hold allows weaker players to build up their force and try and hold it off, then rebuild it without worrying too much about getting completely owned. Also, take and hold resolves the problem of one person getting destroyed, and then having to wait for the match to finish, instead of one person holding the points for 7 minutes and everyone else losing simultaneously. Personally I think take and hold is the way forward. But we'll get the people first, then nearer the time discuss rules and teams.
with 8 people... It will be an insane battle around the take points... No single party will be able to hold all of the points and hold 7 angry players off... It forces conflict and makes the desperation feeling... Sure you can blast his base; but you don't know if thats the only one, so you will be taking a risk in loosing time...
oh, and I'm assuming we'll be using 1.0 of dark crusade and hamachi, yea? (and totally not because certain individuals didn't actually buy the game)
ok I'll remove take and hold. Just don't come crying to me because 7 people rushed your base at once! =P And yeah Dee, Hamachi because some it's easier for us to play. Version of DC is 1.0, I haven't patched it since I got it, and I'm not going to either (unless they make it so I cn build more fire prisms =P).
its FFA :p No teams... >.< If so me and deiform will bumb rush you... IN TAU I AM STRONG!!! Out of all the races in Warhammer (In the games) Tau are my #1 favorite closely tailed by the Eldar... I really don't like the rest of em >.<
ill get in that, but plz dont crush me to fast, i need to get DC before then. ill also have to try out the new races a bit to see if im going to leave my beloved Space Marines. alls i knowz iz, contrary to a previous comment, im probably fucked.
ahh, loved that game. Not enough depth for me to bother learning tactics and bothering with hamachi O.O... Sorry ^_^
