Welcome to Gaia! ::

No just on resurection orb biggrin lol i guess that doesn't count but with level 2 disruption field power the ork guns barely effect necrons and chaos are easy compared to a necron lord with tomb pariahs

I suffered my first defeat in the campaign yesterday...it was tragic. It was on the territory that allows you to build forwards bases, where you have to destroy a certain number of buildings while you get a lame force to take out hordes of Orks. Well, as the necrons I get two monoliths, all of my honor gaurd, and then some assorted units included a pariah squad, two wraiths, 2 or 3 destroyers, and two flayed ones. So I work my way down on side of the map, and when I near one of the bases, 5 looted lemans pop up over a ridge and just started blowing the s**t out of my monoliths. I could get to the lemans because a damn stampede of greenskin assholes came charging up and started hacking away at everything. I put up with this for an hour of nonstop s**t, working immortals around to destroy the lemans, but appearently they had like 4 difference mek factories and pumped out more and more. With all the infantry slain on the ground I ressied them only to get blown to bits almost immediatly by a squiggoth and a continuous flow of looted lemans. I was in the process of retreating my monoliths to heal when another huge army comes from the other direction and catches me with my pants around my ankles.
What a shame

It was more than a two pronged lemun attack, there are 3 AI's on that map throwing nobz, armored nobz, flash gitz, and cannon fodder (the flash gitz where saying "dance humies! dance!" every ******** 2 seconds which drove me the send my lord into the bunch of the and ******** them up) So I devoted several units to each defence, I was purely overwhelmed, It was incredible. Although, I saw through a humongo battle with more of my forces left, so I advanced, but I only got about 5 feet when an even bigger attack party screwed me.

no no, you dont understand, I was in the middle, and that is where everyone was

what do you mean?
I do notice that they miss alot, but that is probably to make up for their intense fire power.

I notice in DC, there is actually gore on the ground now...

Oh man...I was playing this map, well actually, the campaign as the Tau. I actually just got DC last week, so I was trying it (the campaign) out.

I started off fairly well. I was goign against Eldar, so i figured it wouldn't be too hard, as I was on normal difficulty. So, after a while im pretty expanded, I have all 4 relics on the map and my little infantry army is all nice and fortified on top of a hill, when some squads of their infantry start appearing. My squads take on the first 2, but after it becomes apparent there are tons more in the fog of war, I take off back to my base and begin producing broadsides.

an hour later, I've been pushed back to a canyon that opens into my base. I have 5 broadside teams and 2 hammerheads. 1 team is on the hill and the other 4 are entrenched (well, all 5 were entrenched) behind my hammerheads. I had held back a constant wave of enemy eldar since my infantry were attacked, and even though I was holding up, I was slowly being pushed back. However, there were so many corpses of eldar my computer was starting to slow down. Eventually, I gave up. After trying to launch 2 assaults and having them fail horribly, and another half an hour of sitting and watching rail guns vs. Eldar weaponry, my eyes begaun to hurt. This, mind you, isn't a brag, just a recollection.

I think this says something about the Tau's defensive capabilities, despite the lack of being able to construct static turrets to my knowledge. What do you guys think?
