@@Stephen_Hawking Only Soulstorm NEEDS mod to be more enjoyable (Bugfix mod). Other expansions could be played vanilla ;-) About mods - try those ones: * Unification mod - adds tier 4 (mostly Titans) for every race and adds 27 additional races! * Ultimate Apocalypse - adds a few new races but also adds Tier 4 and 5 (weapons of mass destruction) for every race! * Tartarus and Lorn V Campaign mod - let's you play Original and Winter Assault Campaigns in Soulstorm! With new balance and new units from Soulstorm! All those mods are for Soulstorm. There are almost no reason to use DC mods to be honest. And use DoW Mod Manager to download mods and tweak game settings ;-)
@@igorthelight Thanks, will definetly try some of these. Especially the bugfix, last time i played i was having issues with crashing on Strongholds. And I hadn't saved during.
@@Stephen_Hawking My little advice: always have two saves ;-) Save to a first one, after 5 minutes - save to a second one! Then after 5 minutes to the first one! And so on.
Small tip: game doesn't care WHAT type of units are in the IG buildings ;-) HQ with 3 IG squads = HQ with 3 builders xD Same thrick works with Raiders + slaves in Soulstorm when you play as Dark Eldar.
Regimental Guard units are bugged and get a huge health bonus from the morale technologies in Tactica Command. A single squad can get like 50 000 HP (although that might've been with a Priest attached). A single squad can reinforce faster than most enemies can kill them.
He's back! Thank you Seventepe, good content as always. Now complete DK campaign with only Tau in MELEE (no kroots is an optional surprise to be sure but a welcome one)
my god dude, I m playing DC on normal for the IG and cant take sectors level 10 or higher and you did it only with guardsmen on hard. You truly are a hero of the imperium.
I can imagine just being a necron, sleeping until suddenly 2000 guardsmen wash over the horizon and just bee swarm my brothers before lighting the house into oblivion
Gonna be honest, when you banned the comissar and plasma weapons I thought the necron and the chaos strongholds would be impossible. Congrats on proving me wrong!
Kinda wild that you were clicking reinforce rather than just press the R key. Less reliable is right clicking the reinforce button, as it will automatically add new models to the unit until it hits the cap.
Yes, you can click right mouse button, to add reinforce automatically. But they stop spawn automatically when the squad reach their limit and you need once more use right button. Thats why Im prefer to add squad members manually. I also used the R key sometimes.
Yeah, there is that odd "Unit stops responding to orders glitch". From last tine i played the DoW trylogy i saw it happen once in every campaign. If a squad meets, say a mauntain, in middle of their path and at least 1 idiot goes left while 12 go right... Squad gets frozen untill either part of the squad dies or somehow reconnects to eachother. F-ing anoying if you play Orc or IGs as it might happen more often.
Enemy: *sneaks into base and gets detected* Guardsmen: *point hundreds of lasguns at enemy* Enemy: "Well now thats not fair at all." Guardsmen: "I'm sorry, but we don't give a fu--. *unloads magazines into enemy*
@@SevenTePe will you also do a space marine campaign with only scouts but the only upgrade they can have is the sniper?... sure it's super effective against troops but buildings? nah.
Impressive. Very nice. Next challenge: Same rules + must build one token Commissar each mission, set him in cease fire stance and send him to the frontline only to T-pose everyone, but you can't loose him, so more micro while you micro 😂😂😂
Heh, i did that one. But I allowed myself sergents and grenade launchers (not plasma) and it was already torture, wp to you. (Honestly the agressive bunker building in ennemy territory is really funny.) Now eldar with only guardians xD (I find THEM to be the weakest unit tbh.)
Small bit of advice. If units get stuck and there is no way to remove them, use the delete key. This instant kills the entire squad, and frees up space for you to build more. Same goes for buildings no longer needed.
To make a guardsmen a S tier squad you need 3 things: Commissar, Sergeant and special weapons. And it's funny that you banned them all just to suffer :)
Chaos reduced to ashes Tau reduced to sushi Necrons reduced to galvanized square steel Orks reduced to mushroom stew Blood Raven reduced to "Dawn of War 3"
Comparing their statistics, they are very similar. But in combat situations, guards kill cultists before they even get close. Cultists are good only when they can fight undetected.
I got a suggestion since you mentioned them in the Ork Stronghold Beating Dark Crusade with nothing but Commissars (there should be a mod out there that removes their limit)
I got an idea for a video, let me cook:Play men of war assault squad 2 but you only can get infantry. Rules: 1 you can only get infantry. 2 you can't capture enemy tanks or artillery.
interesting about the melee damage. It could be that i played on easy, but here, i noticed the scout marines have lower melee damage than guardsmen, so they can win agiainst scouts in melee
@@SevenTePe i found it rather amusing. I take guard is your favorite faction om dow? It sure is mine, given they are normal humans, yet fight bravely. And frankly, i find their endings are best for Kronus and in soulstorm

Guess it's true, chances are you'll run out of bullets before they run out of guardsmen xD
POV: you're playing the best 40K army
This man playing this through and spamming the reinforce button has as much determination as the imperial guard
one thing I miss from older RTS is the stats screens to see losses and buildings created. I want a count on the dead and wounded in battle lul.

I've been playing imperial guard wrong and after seeing the correct way to play them, I'm so glad this is the peak
He Speaks, I've been with the lord since ~7000 subs, and I've finally heard the voice of the god emperor
Pro tip: Right-click the reinforce (or special weapons) button(s). It will reinforce (or add special weapons) to the maximum.
Gonna be honest, when you banned the comissar and plasma weapons I thought the necron and the chaos strongholds would be impossible. Congrats on proving me wrong!
As an IG main
I approve of this quest

you can right-click he "add squad member" button to auto reinforce iirc.
Small bit of advice. If units get stuck and there is no way to remove them, use the delete key. This instant kills the entire squad, and frees up space for you to build more. Same goes for buildings no longer needed.
Thanks, I did not know about it when Im recording the gameplay. This will be very helpfull in the future.
Really impressive. Dziękuję.
To make a guardsmen a S tier squad you need 3 things: Commissar, Sergeant and special weapons. And it's funny that you banned them all just to suffer :)
You can also press the delete key with your commander selected to kill him so that he can’t soak damage. :)
Ah yes, the Kriegsman tactics.
Can't wait for the same but with cultitsts.
It's probably will be easier because they can be upgraded to be invisible
So much dead meat xD

"guardsmen weakest in the game" my full squad of guardsmen beating a full squad of space marines.
Well if you can play as the other races.. Try the same challenge with their basic units.. Like this you can make 5 more videos?
DA BOYZ ARE 'ARD BOSS!
The Orks challange could be funny, after upgrades they basic units have no recruit cost.
"Thought they broke our backs...? Ha!"
Cadia broke before Guard did!
btw SaintJim mad impressive (mostly) deathless run of Winter Crusade campaign.
You can right click on the "plus" to autorecover the units
Chaos reduced to ashes
Tau reduced to sushi
Necrons reduced to galvanized square steel
Orks reduced to mushroom stew
Blood Raven reduced to "Dawn of War 3"
To each of us falls a task. It is what we guardsmen do best. We die standing!
Also if I’m correct cultists are weaker than guardsmen.

Maybe this is just in soulstorm, but you can right click the reinforce button to automate it.
Works in DoW (Original/Winter Assault/Dark Crusade/Soulstorm) and in DoW 2
Can you do only with imperium armor forces only?
Now I have to ask... Can you beat Soulstorm with Only UA Conscripts (And transport Valks are allowed, they're just a flying Barracks)?
Do you have the number of how many guards died completing the campaign ?
