Hi i made an account just because i liked the look of this game so much. Keep doing what your doing and really just +100 percent support. This is the type of warhammer 40k game i dreamed of. i just always wanted to go around the planets and live as a chapter master.

alsoooo you may have posted this but are the patches save game compatible?

You are welcome.  I get a pretty big kick out of making games- when other people enjoy them it's that much more rewarding.

The patch notes mention when old saves become obsolete.

I was wondering if there is a known bug where you load a company onto a strike cruiser and then some individual techmarines and apothocaries to fill out the 250 space, then unload all of them yet it still shows there is 20/250 or in another instance 12/250 space used?  I have made sure nobody is on the ships yet it is telling me some space is being used.

I've gotten several reports of this in the past, and some saves with the problem, but I haven't figured out what specifically is causing it.  I believe it to be some combination of a certain armor type + a mobility item, or something, and those units unloading/reloading into a ship.

Yep, I suspected that's a problem. So, there's no way to fix this or some workaround?

Have you tried acquiring a new computer?

In all seriousness, though, it's impossible for me to fix problems that are hardware specific.  Sorry for not responding by email- I've been swamped in messages and must have flagged it as read without responding.

I had a similar, but opposite problem - somehow my Battle Barge ended up with a negative amount of space taken up. Almost -600, as far as I recall. And since I was playing as Lamenters at the time, I couldn't get it above 0 even loading the entire chapter, which was a fairly big problem since I couldn't use the marines onboard for anything without unloading them and I didn't have enough space on other ships.

If it ever becomes a severe enough issue to hamper gameplay, it can be fixed easily enough with Cheat Engine.


Are the Ork surprise armadas fixed in the latest version? Things like 5 battleships spawning out of a one-planet system with nearly obliterated greenskin presence on top of my fleet are a bit of an annoyance.

That's yer culprit.
The card is just super bad at running anything made nowadays. I don't know what exactly about it makes it so bad, but it loves to crash even the most graphically innocuous-looking games.

Drivers, the drivers are the problem.

I get it a lot when finding artifacts and the like; as far as I can tell, it's meant to take up space for being artifacty and shit, but doesn't recognize when there isn't room and never gets offloaded, even when it actually has been.

If they are, then they will remain so for the reminder of the eternity, as there are no more up-to-date drivers in existence than those currently in operation in my system (and I should think Deus_Vult's as well, owing to the kindergarten-level of troubleshooting skills required to come up with such a solution) and I find it hard to believe the manufacturer even remembers he once made a card like this, let alone has somebody on payroll delegated to its support.

If I sound mildly offended it's because I'm mildly offended by the offhandedly patronising assumption in making that suggestion. It's just a touch above advising to check if my computer is connected and/or asking to turn it on and off.

However, if I sound mildly amused is because I'm mildly amused by the idea of writing an over-the-top word salad response to a minor slight that I couldn't ever take seriously (I've seen IT Crowd).

And if I sound somewhat like an exasperated pompous Canadian elephant stoned out of the wazoo, it's because there's something wrong with you, dear reader. Honestly, an elephant? Get your head checked, eh.

That extra EXP everyone gets.

My death world, Utopia.  It can have no other name.

I don't understand - why would anyone get extra experience from that?

Seriously, try creating a custom chapter with that checked on.  You will see why.  Unless it is some sort of fancy bug that requires more conditions I know not of to unlock.

The base line in a normal game...  10th starts at 5xp, 9th starts at 20xp...

Enjoy it while it lasts.   

I don't suppose anyone wants to take a crack at writing Ork dialogue?  I need a new entry for the extra-sector invasions that I'm currently working on.  If anyone can write right and proppa Orky, and is willing to help, it would be much appreciated.

Can we get a little more context? Is it a message from an Ork Commander to the player? Do these guys end up with names in game or are they just random ork raiders taunting the player?

[Rolepgeek]

I kuld giv it a troi, Baws. I'z not 'zactly shur watcha need, tho'. Iz me an' da boyz head'd fer da WAAAGH or iz we juzt tellin sum stoopid humies how good we kan krump 'em?

If you just want a lot of one liners and such, I'm sure we could crank out a bit of that.

Scenario: New Ork warboss is arriving by fleet into the sector with a bunch of other Orks.

It's an audience from this new warboss going "I'm da biggest and da strongest and da warboss you got wus just a grot" at the player or something along those lines.  A couple variations would be great.  This would be displayed within the diplomacy screen with the faction leader's splash showing.
