Said weekend ended with me making a logistical mistake and losing the game because Tyranids cheat (They deployed WAY too close to my Marines in my last battle. It hurt. A lot.)

However, I now know that 'Raid' is a good thing....but one (gently used) company does not a good raiding force make, at least not when 200 Cultists and assorted Genestealers are able to get close to them.

So, what Chapter should I try next?

This game is a little like games like dwarf fortress where you are playing to inevitable death, it just depends on how long you last and how great you become before the imminent downfall.
Just a couple tips I've picked up:
1- You lose when your Chapter Master dies, so if you want to prolong the inevitable, don't take him into battle. He's really buff and can help a lot, but an unlucky space battle can end the game over a single lost ship.
2- Don't try to solve all of your sector's problems at once. You're much more powerful patrolling as a full (or nearly full) chapter than as a bunch of mismatched companies, and for big ork infestations and big tyranid infestations you'll want the full chapter.
3- Avoid space battles as much as possible. Orks crash their ships into planets which drops their fleets to zero, so when facing orks, its much better to just let them arrive, crash, and then either attack or bombard the planet.


I've got a question for everyone: has anyone ever encountered Eldar? I've faced Orks, Tau, Chaos, and Tyranid, but never Eldar even though they're in the diplomacy menu. Just wondering if that's an existing feature in the current game that was removed thanks to one of the patch things I (like how adding the "fix graphics" patch caused me to no longer start with any relics).


Lastly, the rewrite is coming along. Nothing really to show off yet since all the work is in the code end and not the UI end yet, but it's coming.

Eldar craftworld, dven if it spawns is hidden snd somewhat hard to find.

Eldar do spawn indeed. Also their fleets are somewhat weak due to lack of voidshields(
but u need more then just 8 cruisers, so your fleet can keep scum inder fire, while they fly in circles around you) or boarders

No.

Anybody have any clue how to avoid losing escorts to their own lack of self-preservation?

Order them to go behind?
( but due to how ship ai works, if ship is completing movement order, it cant do anything else, until order is completed)

Finally managed a 4BB kills/no friendly losses by sending the escorts on a long flanking loop. They showed up after my frigates and battle barge got two of the BBs disabled or destroyed.

Well it has been boggling my mind for some time so I have to ask. How can we remove the player ship limit in space battles? its getting on my nerves to have merely 15 ships in battle while rest of my 40 just suddenly vanish its not fun and it just removes any chance of victory.

Good luck getting it to run. It's been futzed with six ways from Sunday.

If someone does find out a process for at least getting the game started and playable (setting aside whether it starts crashing once you're playing) please post your steps.
