My goal is not so much to beat the top spot for stuff. I love the idea of 100%ing more than the other stuff so I am mostly focusing on that. My goals are to do the best that I can for every race in this category. I even want to try and do 100% for Soulstorm eventually and that doesn't even have a page on the site. Just goals to games and expansions I enjoy :)
I would love for a soulstorm and winter assult pages, ive said in the past i plan to run all the DoW games but theres intrest beyond just me we should push to make it happen.
I like 100% cause thats what i always did casual but its just a matter of shaving off time.
And Max they spirit of competition is strong ive come to expect that when a new score is up you would come for it so i look forward to the run, what factions next on the chopping block tho, normally crons are the speedrun favorite for AS but since beacon is a important strat i wonder what will be the 2nd faction to get a run.
It isn't very difficult to get a page for a game. You can apply for any game to be added but you need to link at least one run to show that there is someone interested in the game.
As for me: I have my handsful moderating and running this game at the moment. Sometime in the future I can see me running the other dow expansions but don't expect that soon ^^.
I tried to start learning both Dark Crusade and Soulstorm but the games are just different enough in mechanics that it ends up a little confusing and more frustration than what I wish to deal with. So for now I am sticking with just Dark Crusade. It's a full plate with just that, which I am very much enjoying :)
Oh, yes. I did submit my, ugh, 5h run for Necrons for review. Considering the length, take a few weeks to review it. It's all good :) So Necrons will have a run and I will continue to work on it to cut the time down. I don't want to submit another one until I can get below 4 hours consistently.
Hey man dont feel bad, just remember you could be running some of the persona games (15hrs or so) lol, and hey do what i do, submit a meh run and wait for max to beat it and i just copy off or try to improve his strats.
I am half joking but only half there is truth in there.
On a side note you picked crons which being the longest to 100% until a replacement beacon strat can be found. I have a few ideas but they'd still make for long runs.
Yeah. I did it by doing most of the strongholds as intended. Hitting most of the areas with high numbers. By the time I only had Eldar left I was at 4,500 kills roughly. Obviously running around all those maps for that does add quite a bit of time to the clock. So far for sheer numbers I am liking the Tau and Eldar map. Might see if there could be something in those 2 for farming and drop the other strongholds in standard strategies. That could cut down a ton of time there.
Eldar is more consistent but harder to pull of, during test runs a ran a army into the large eldar base destroying the vehicle construction places but leaving the infantry so i could grind them since it spawns them at a rate much faster than normal, still slower than beacon but what can you do.
Ps : i would only leave a few squads to grind the eldar base at that point , afterwards taking the army to the chaos and ork bases on the map.
My current thought is to farm both Eldar and Orks at the same time on the map. Chaos doesn't really contribute a lot. Can ignore them and whatever they decide to toss my way, bonus.
Well as of now i only play factions i play on the tabletop so its space marines, Guard , little chaos and sisters if its soulstorm.
Speaking of SS ill be doing my first run of that when i get my pc working since i have ideas, probably just copy the rules from DC to SS with very little if any changes, thats another reason i wanted the DC rules to be in there best form , its acting as a testing ground.
Oh and congrats on the run Sara, youve taken your first step in a larger world.
Should we make a discord or facebook group chat, the forums are kinda slow to converse.
updated the first post with space marine strats and some stats to kills and time needed. as you see the values for "kills / minute" you could think you just clear all stornghold quickly with not much kills and get them all from the thur'abis in the end BUT you only get 83 kills/minute as long you kill other stuff than the untis from the beacon at the same time. after about 25-30 minutes the map is pretty much cleared. if the beacon units alone give more kills/minute than the other strongholds must still be tested. One thing is for sure: taking extra time in standard missions to kill more units is almost certainly not worth it.
ps: new record for sm with the strats described is currently uploading :-)
Congrats max, my pc is still out of commision, getting stir crazy need to do a speedrun.
