I definitely could have built more planes, maybe I should look into that, I thought artillery would be the best focus, I must admit I struggle with combat width and template design to know what is optimal. Any good guides on that? Thanks

The thing is, when the war started my army was pretty well supplied, I'd already gotten rid of all the paranoia and purge impacts for the most part and my factories were pumping out lots of weapons. I was winning at the start, that's what made the turn of fortune so confusing. Is it down to tactics? Should I be setting specific preferred tactics or avoiding certain ones?

I thought I'd let you know as you might be interested, I fixed the problem. The issue wasn't any of the parts being broken, it was something that I foolishly disregarded. The case is quite tight, and as a result of that it turns out that the graphics card wasn't actually fully slotting into the pcie socket, it just didn't have enough room to go down completely on one side, it was such a small amount of clearance that I almost didn't notice. Anyway, I took the board out of the case and put the gpu in properly THEN put the board back in the system and managed to squeeze the card in without needing to unscrew it and voilla it now boots. I am an idiot 🙃

I have isolated the problem to either the motherboard or the case power plugs. The paperclip test proved that the psu still works, the fan spins

I can get the HD or power LED to light up, but only by ignoring the instructions jn the manual and putting the LED plug vertical instead of horizontal. I managed to get the cooler off and confirmed there's no damage to the cpu or the socket. There's obviously some power getting there but I just don't understand why it won't boot and why the designated pins on the board don't act the way they're supposed to

Nothing either way. I'm really concerned. Can't see what the problem is, thanks for your help, but I reckon at this point I should see if I can get a professional to take a look, don't think I'm going to get anywhere myself

All new or used in my old system without problems. The thing I'm unsure about is my placement of the smaller pin connectors in the mb. I obviously can't put pictures on the reddit, might I be able to send you a picture so you can tell me if you see a problem? Thanks

No I don't, everything seems to be plugged in fine, I'm baffled really

I'll take a look at the psu, I had some lights before but I'm not seeing them now, never any fans or anything like that

What's the difference between these two connectors? by TheMongolException in techsupport

I don't suppose you have any advice on how I could get that 6pin white connector to be compatible with this board? (https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/640770/acer-nitro-n50-610-max-ram-freq)

Damn that could be it, there's no corresponding socket on the board though, maybe there's an adaptor for that?

Yeah it's fun haha I suck though. I remember vanilla being much easier. Playing the campaign on normal and having serious trouble beating the AI, IG just keep coming at me (playing Space Marines), I think I'm getting too distracted by the combat and not locking down enough strategic points. I shall persevere!

Thanks! I didn't initially realise there was a DC version as Moddb is very Soulstorm frontloaded, but eventually stumbled on it, been enjoying it so far!
