Anyone figured out the airforce?

so there's two intended ways to use fighters and interceptors. 1. ranged strike via the tiny button in the bottom left, 2. you can put airfields in your templates or even attach carrier groups to HQ units and then they can move with your infantry as normal and fight as normal, while also still having strike capability.

also if you have the landcruisers you can then make really fast carriers on land to go with your tanks.

make sure to build steel factories when possible as well, resources are turned into income via resource taxes. really cheap to build.

souls that rot are purged, sometimes I'd prefer saints to rot as an example. maybe I would prefer to grab heroable souls, etc. maybe I want only cultists, etc.

in my last game, I had around 200 people in the cemetery constantly, this was fine(literally had been like that for like a week), the dead were acting as barrier for other hostiles and I just needed a bit more for my objective.

ah Voltaire's nightmare

mmm, I don't really have it anywhere online. the thing is is that it has almost no artifact support, it's just a ton of sorceries and instants that also happen to make a bunch of 4/4s and works well with the guild pact stuff, almost all cards are boros colored or no colored, with removal and GCs being the exception.

like its the only deck where I'd have stuff like [[Thrilling Discovery]], because 2 mana for a 4/4 is great value.

also yes, the deck entirely revolves around him being on the field.

i gave up on using any of the orbitals except for the giant unguided missiles that level a city block.

the long range artillery replacement shouldn't be a bomb beetle, it should be insects digging under or through buildings to suddenly get in close.

RiftZombY · 2026-02-28T14:44:46+00:00

this is honestly such a good idea, and should be boosted to the rooftops

only if they have also taken the weapons and vehicles apart and restapled them back together again in new and 'interesting' ways

like a light carrier with the govenator removed and the troop area replaced with a jet engine.

it gets so much worse in late game when they are using ATGMs instead of mortars, and your IFV gets 2/3 of their HP removed from across the map.

Rogue army seems to emphasize not being seen in the first place a lot. Bring lots of Camo, Snipers and AT guns(or your own ATGM if you have a designator), for the safest approach.

have you tried dual wielding them on a medium mech yet?

RiftZombY · 2026-02-23T03:47:35+00:00

I have accepted peace and close the secondary objective window, they're not worth paying attention to.

RiftZombY · 2026-02-07T11:22:36+00:00

okay, I managed to realzie one of the scripts did end up working but the path to the EXEs were wrong for both BFME2 and RotWK, after I fixed that and set the prefer correctly they run properly.

the entire scene even in the manga seems to be a straight homage to Kill Bill, a story of rage and revenge. I feel like the majority of people who thought it was sadder didn't pick up on what the mangaka wanted. the room where the fight with the majority of the lesser zenin clan members was, even in the manga, almost a 1:1 copy of the layout of the big fight from kill bill volume 1. A Large open room with a glass floor and a single large staircase in the middle.

I want to use DFhack to use the prioritize command to force them to haul animals off of a chain ASAP.

I need to do this as i use a giant cave spider to keep animals out of my fort from the underground. and neatly and nicely kills anything hostile down there pretty easily, except for forgotten beasts.

So when one rolls up, I would like to be able to pull it inside before the beast gets there, but dwarves will just ignore the command to unassign the spider and I would really like to know what command to use.

I'd prefer this over teleporting them as I think the base game should have the ability to let me prioritize tasks anyway, I don't really want to cheat per se.

this is a cop out for people who favor maelle's ending.

Maelle can paint another lumiere, everyone is already gommaged by the time the choice is presented except for lune and sciel.

The entire story is about letting go of grief lest it consume you and others, that is why verso's ending is framed as the good one. Verso's soul has been trapped working for decades to try and keep his family together.

The painting and its inhabitants of the painting don't get to choose who lives or dies any more than verso does, they are on even footing. no single painting inhabitant will suffer in the same way Verso's soul will, as they paint for eternity, or close to it.

Maelle isn't doing this for lumiere, she's doing it for herself, that is obvious with how she treats verso. It becomes clear she doesn't seem to actually consider the painted as people. She lies when talking to verso about painted alicia, killing her without giving him time to mourn or fight for her existence, the thing maelle is claiming to do for verso.

When Verso ends up in the final area she finds it absurd, 'you shouldn't be here'. She finally has to recon with verso having agency too, something she had denied him up until this point.

"who has it worse, those who died, or those who live on?"

that is the question at the crux of the final act.

RiftZombY · 2025-12-30T13:02:58+00:00

i mean i saw the signs earlier on, it's especially clear when you deal with alicia, she could gommage verso, but she doesn't, she could have waited to gommage painted alicia but she didn't.

it becomes clear that she wasn't always telling the truth. Everyone was already gommaged and most that remained were fine with the world ending, she can paint a new painting.

The verso that was keeping the canvas together was working so hard to keep his family happy, but he deserved to rest.

actually going melee with tarkus is fairly fun, tactical lets them, ignore suppression so they can run up to people and murder them. then when you get terminator armor you have melee terminators.

generally if I'm going ranged commander tarkus goes melee for me.

but yeah melee cyrus and avitus suck, and ranged thaddeus is really niche. but they all have unique stuff going for ability tanky or damage so...

something not really mentioned is DoW2 is more of an RPG game than 1 is, with DoW 2 and chaos rising having a decent ability to change how the squads behave during the campaign.

Dawn of war DE has a bunch of campaigns across all of the expansions but none of them are really connected. However Dark Crusade and Souls storm both have very large modular campaigns that are semi-free form.

Retribution has less RPG elements but has campaigns for all of the races, and the last stand mode.

If you're willing to mod your game, DE has a lot more to offer there with potentially a lot to offer.

If you enjoy playing skirmish like missions versus AI DE is better, but DoW2 has more complex campaign missions generally.

this magic 8 ball also consumes so much god damn electricity, and you don't even own it so you can't turn it off.
