This game has so much potential.  Now it just needs unique non-stolen art assets.  I like Empire of the Fading Sun as much as the next guy, but they could do something other than use a map from that game.

Good luck with that. It's a 2-edged sword. Either you're stealing existing assets, or you're getting sued by GWS for recreating their art without their consent for a product. They're notorious for how aggressively they'll protect their IP. I'm a little surprised their agents haven't reported the existence of this game back to their dark masters in their floating space fortress constructed of money and the broken souls of neckbeards.

Also, I'm sure this guy has his hands full with the likes of /tg/ but someone should invite him to stop by here, so we can shower him with laurels of glory befitting a true son of the Emperor. (Assuming they aren't already a member of the forum, what with the DF reference and all.)

At the moment nids cant fuck up a whole area map unless they are given alot of time but yea fighting the hive ship is going to result in you losing. Sometimes you get lucky and can kill an excursion due to the hive ship went somewhere else but most of the time if a planet dissapears its a hive fleet. It is also a good way to get forge world artifacts since when nids finish they make dead worlds in there wake.Requisition is a bit slow and i would like to see eventual events where you can get more resources and gene seed(To expand the current company and stuff). I would also like to see a better use for the going on planet excursions rather than raid it unless it has an artifact.

I'm guessing that Tyranids, Necrons, and Chaos are supposed to be threats you can't take on conventionally, being that they're the existential threats of all the factions. Dark Eldar might be more grimdark, but you could feasibly kill literally all of them if Commorragh was ever exposed.

It seems anytime I get inquisitioned I get a drop in relations; I've been purgifying/cleansifying orks at every possible moment and my killcount is probably reaching the tens of thousands; what am I doing wrong?

Accruing xeno taint, apparently. Maybe spend some time purifying the self instead of consorting with xeno scum. Rather imagine surrendering a few artifacts to the holy inquisition would be an appropriate sign of penance >_>

Re: Nids: Maybe just avoid them? Or avoid space combat, anyway. Get to a planet before they do, drop troops, haul out and let the ground combat occur? No clue if the AI bombards or not.

Alternately, well, spend however long it takes to match them in combat. Maybe let them smash themselves on a few (dozen) other (imperial, tau, whatever) fleets, first.

Anyone here bought either a crusade or repair license? I have no idea what either of them do.

Having sent my full fleet to a crusade called by another (expect grimdark), I'd guess that the crusade license would force some other poor sap of a chapter to lend/sacrifice their forces to you for a while. If it's implemented at this point, at least.

[highzealot]

Buying a Crusade License lets you select a small area on the map. Imperial Fleets will be sent there and fight any enemy fleets there if there are any allowing you to not have to risk your own fleet.

Wow, you can trade Gene Seed for Requisition?



A necessary mechanic maybe, but counter to most Space Marine lore. (Excluding the rule that there are no rules in 40k.)

[nenjin]

As I'm playing this for the first time....man my face is just in this kind of half open idiot smile. The sheer amount of nerd love invested into this game, down to the naming of chapter ranks, is making me so happy.

There's a system in my game called Boatmurdered. Definitely a DF fan. I shall reclaim this world from the Ork, in His name, or die trying.

Speaking of heretics, don't agree to Eldar requests for requisition. The price of consorting with xenos is a fatal error crash.

Getting off lucky, I'd say. *BLAM* Heresy.

I've always found 40k to be too grimdark to take seriously, but this is a fun little game. Hope it gets more content. Perhaps eventually we can oin chaos or set up our own splinter empire. Muchos respect for the dude making this a reality. 

However, I foresee it being shut down by the Evil Empire. They are notoriously assholish regarding their IP. I bet the maker of this thingy gets abducted by neckbearded ninjas and disappears in to Guantanamo Bay. You thought they held people accused of terrorism there? Nah, it is just a cover for the Evil Empire.

I don't read WH40k lore, so I was kinda shocked when I found out how you get geneseed. Apparently when marines die, they leave behind 2 eggs ("geneseeds") which you can implant (or inject?) into recruits. If that sounds reasonable to you, consider this: the simplest way to get geneseed when you're out is to strip a dozen scouts naked, back them up with apothecaries (and a carefully managed amount of "real" troops- the last thing you want is to lose the battle) and raid an ork infestation.

[Mech#4]

I believe, with the geneseed, there is a limited number of them and every time a Space Marine dies it has to be collected or they lose one potential new recruit. Of course that doesn't lead to a very sustainable faction where every lost battle results in unrecoverable troop numbers, so that's why this game has two appear for every fallen. Grimdark over sense and all that, Warhammer 40,000 is really not meant to be taken serious.

300 planets lost to alien invasions? The empire is even more doomed than before, DOOMED, but doesn't affect them in anyway.

[Majestic7]

Lost geneseeds give a good reason for grudges, though. Motivation to take back a planet where you lost a battle to recover the geneseeds etc. Perhaps missions to explore old battlefields of the chapter to find ancient dead. Shadier options to raid the dead of other chapters for theirs. Possibly introducing mutations and other problems by using the said seeds etc.

All in all, it sounds a bit gay-sexy though. "I must have your seed!" "No, never, you must wrestle with me naked to get my seed!" "I will wrestle you naked for your seed, as otherwise I can not inject it into my new brothers!"
