Dawn of War: Soulstorm

[Johny Cee]

Oh.  Orks early are tough for Imp. Guard.  Gotta use those bunkers!

Ahhhh!  I had huge problems with Orks,  and to a lesser extent the Space Marines, playing Dark Crusade with the Guard.  Didn't even realize that fortifying units in buildings was that effective.

Playing soulstorm, I made it really high priority to get the SoB's stronghold bonus first. It makes the campaign go soooo much easier with 4 power plant forward bases.  Took out Chaos, SoB, Neocron , DE and Orks already. The Tau should be the next to feel the wrath of my Baneblade.

FYI it looks like the Tau planetary cannon doesn't do anything.  It's supposed to "soften up" your enemies, but there isn't a noticeable effect.  The Space Marine bonus of deep strike doesn't seem to work either.  After I conquered them as the SoB I did not gain any benefit.

I totally agree though.  The SoB's bonus is much more useful than the other races.

No, the Deep Strike ability works, and is awesome.  The problem is that it is not very obvious how to use.  First you go to your stronghold, then to the reinforcement screen.  Click on the arrows until you get the Deep Strike options, then purchase.  Now, whenever you attack a territory, in that section of the screen that shows your honor guard units, hit the arrows again until you see your purchased deep strike units.  Then select the units you want to deep strike.

It seems expensive until you realize that as long as you don't lose, you keep the units you bought and you can use them EVERY time you attack.
