Could anyone pass on some advice on how to successfully play the orks in Dark Crusade? I'm asking because no matter what I try I seem to get shot dead pretty quickly... its as though boyz just weren't meant for fighting... *tears*
Mean while.. I can play marines.. eldar... tau.. and necrons no problem (campaign mode this is) so i'm guessing the big diff in battle style is what has me messed up.
Tips and tricks are appreciated!
My best work with orks was done as a horde kind of thing. Don't really focus on vehicles and don't expand squads a lot unless you really want to. Just focus on a shiteload of squads and keep them pouring.
Also, defend the hell out of your property with Waaagh! Banners. But that's just my best, and I've never been able to successfully play a game above normal against the comps with Orks (as opposed to the hardest difficulty with IG).
I was able to beat the enemy on hard once as orks. I was playing with another guy online. We decided we would go up against the guard.
We were building up our Waagh's!!! Screaming waaagh every 5 seconds. the map was a 2vs2 map. It was the one giant wall map with only one opening in it. Forgot its name >.>
Anyways, I knew orks had to throw numbers into the battle. So I made sure to have all my strategic points upgraded and I built 4 Da boy hutt and 4 Mek shops. With 4 of each I could constantly send new Orks into battle.
Once we built up a a major Ork force, we rushed into the Imperial Guard .......and got our a**'s kicked big time. We did kill off a few of them though.
So the map has the center point the breach that I mentioned. I knew I would have to defened this point along with my friend. They imperial guard for a long a** time kept on sending in soldier......I ended up counting around 6 or 7 Baneblades. It was a stalemate at the breach. Now my ally was having problems building enough units up because he had 1 of every building(except Waaagh Banners of course) and did not upgrade his strategic points.
I ended up have a second fortress built near the breach and Waaagh banners surrounding it to give my Orks covering fire incase the enemy came to close. With the constant Orks coming out of my buildings we eventually pushed them back into there own base detsroying them.
So remember what I call the endless Waaagh technique......build a s**t load of everything.
