Imperial Guard Tutorial p1/2

[TheIronhammer32]

Imperial guardsmen are not meant to be used as "Primary" your supposed to use them to Capture some posts and defend your base while you build for tanks, Imperial guard are famous for tanks not their guardsmen units :P I hope I help anyone who's confused with anything that is not covered by this video.

[ludovert]

execute has a radius, you don't need to do it for every squad if they stick together

[supermaksas]

Imperial Guard,second best race in the game,(#1:space marines,#2:tau empire)

[theitalianscotdan]

@supermaksas Tau and SM are both extremely OP

[FeralReactor]

@theitalianscotdan Only in SS, which is a very unbalanced game anyway.

[theitalianscotdan]

@FeralReactor and dark crusade and in vanilla the only game they wernt OP was in winters assault and that was because the IG had no limits on their good units

[NightSkorpion94]

thx a lot pal...I really enjoyed watch orks goin down :)

[dasrever]

One thing im going to say Dawn of war ws the best game i ever played. Dawn of war 2 was just sad i all most cryed it was so stupid

[1Themuffinman1]

all u noobs complaining bout T1 grenades dont know shit. go t2 and get execute plasma fast

[KKmanmi]

Awesome.

Just remember that they are not engineers but engineSEERS.

I dont think anyone really noticed though, and engineers is a lot faster to say than engineseers...

[DarkOne57s]

grenade launcher is beast if theres mass infantry they destroy them

[elesararwos]

o.o I always get jetpack-rushed by Orks before I can get anything good done x.x

[pawninwordsandsoon]

@elesararwos use your buildings as bunkers and and there is np, I laugh my ass off when i get jetpacs rushed... it's like blood bath for the attacker

[elesararwos]

@pawninwordsandsoon ah that'd be it then... thanks for the tip :)

[w0lffang]

a woman...that plays warhammer? *faints*

[phocjame]

Wher ar teh SPEHSS MARINNS?

[101darksamus]

@phocjame I WENT TEH SPEHSS MARINS!!!!

[levierdragon]

Any more DoW tournaments coming up?

[LusTERko95]

IG in Lights of the warp is realy nice.

30 leman russ tanks 15-20 basilisk's

and shadowsword Titanicus = really big mess

______________

Nice vid!! keep going

[legendlink64]

HOW TO PLAY AS DARK ELDAR PLOX ONLINE PLEASE PLEASE PWEASE!

[cyberzaikoo]

nice vid dude ;)

[patataton]

IG is all about harassement

a tactic i love is harass with quimeras and hellhounds, and quick retreat, then you use a hotkey on a bunch of basilicks and bomb the enemy when they go after you, then, stop the chimeras deploy guardsmen

[skinchen]

Let me preach his name!!!!

[skinchen]

LET ME PREACH HIS NAME!!!!

[Stavangerkisen]

@caos1925 he means the . key nice vid

[caos1925]

what key for bulider i can't understand you there

[MindsAblaze]

It's weird, the A.I. in this game like... don't fight? It's hard to explain the feeling, but when you engage the A.I. they run around a lot, it's quite stupid. They don't fight and dish out damage. I go into a battle totally unprepared and an entire force will run from my one poorly equipped Guardsman squad just because they are firing their weapons. Insane computers are too easy when the starting resources are set at standard. On quickstart though, the A.I. macro can be too much sometimes.

[NielsorNiek]

Please read Imperial Gaurds users:

Put ur infantry bunker in the place where most fighted,

Put 2 gaurdsmen squad in in upgraded with heavy bolters and snipers.

Its a nice trick, more effective when you use it in FoK

[munguntulga]

u cant give guardsmen heavy bolters and snipers lol

[NielsorNiek]

@munguntulga sorry i forgot to say that it was for FoK mod.. Sorry!!

[munguntulga]

oh lol,

[Tshaikovsky]

@munguntulga He means a mod for this game named Firestorm over Kronus

[ejandrew]

Plus you should reinforce the Guardsmen soon as they are ready and make them use Grenade Launchers and have a Commissar attach to them

[ejandrew]

Command Squad Can counter almost any Commander units in the game

[mcalexev]

Chimera is pronounced Ki mare a.

Thought thatd help <:)

[walkertexasranger77]

At the end of the video, he mentions a hotkey for selecting idle workers.

Sounds like "Full Stop" but im unsure what he meant.

Can anyone tell me what to press to select idle workers?

[Scar231]

Sentinels are actually really effective against vehicles, just so long as you get 2 or 3 of them out there.

[clonecody1]

great Tutorial 5/5

[an1627]

I prefer sentinel depo than hellhounds

cause guardsman with grenades are invincible against infantry

just need vehicle killers

[Kamfrenchie]

I always thought that sentinels were too innacurate with their shots, what do you think about chimeras as a polivalent vehicle? It doesn't cost much and seems ok to me.

[an1627]

its ok but there are some things i dont like about it..... its damage is only mildly effective even against infantry. and it isnt even as tough as a SM rhino and it uses VC i would prefer rhinos as my transport respectively...

[pawninwordsandsoon]

@Kamfrenchie Chimeras are fine, but kind of fragile. If you use them make sure there are guardsmen inside, because chimeras are THE ONLY transport vehicle, through which infantry can fire... but it is tricky - in order your transported infantry to be able to shoot from inside, the chimera should face the enemy with its SIDES, so you must micro play - you should control them so they stand with their sides facing the enemy

[callummcintyre]

not much dps for heavy infatry or vehicles tho. you need range research and plasma if your not making heelhounds imo

[an1627]

i would try to get TC as soon as possible.

an im invincible until the enemy chunks out armour

[Commandos12]

been trying to beat harder eldar computer with imperial guard and can't beat them in medium or bigger maps *cry* been trying non stop for 3 hours DX

[itzememario]

next time you play imperial guard you and you are under attack just station an guardsmen squad in that building

those buildings also function as bunkers and guardsmen will fire out of it

[ihatecountry777]

I'm at the point where standard is too easy, but hard is a little too hard.

[igncom1]

same

[callummcintyre]

lol. insane is too easy. seriusly you must be doing something seriusly wrong

[christivie12]

Why did you didnt attached a comissar with each of your guardsmen squads

[Sonicfan1207]

Why didn't you including infantry units to squads at the beginning of this vid? Is it wasting requisition?

[Commandos12]

u need grenades as soon as possible, thats why u build tatica early this is great cuz grenade knock bak and halt enemy firing ... and u want that cuz ur guards are weak

[pawninwordsandsoon]

@Commandos12 better strategy is to build up barracks near the hot spots, where they attack you and use them as bunkers instead of letting your guardsmen go into direct combat. This way, not a single unit will die and after the first base expand build 2/3 sentinels and 2/3 hellhounds, get a commisar, upgreat PLASMA GUNS, NOT grenades and you ready to win

[Commandos12]

@pawninwordsandsoon but if u do very very little dmg if u garason ur troops, it will lead to delaying you from getting out of ur base and capping points :o

[pawninwordsandsoon]

@Commandos12 That's why as IG you don't build all your buildings in one place - you build them near your strategic points (if you have enough resourses to add some defensive towers is perfect). Also it is not true, that guardsmen in buildings deal lower damage, it is the opposite. A guardsmen deals averagly 10 DPS (damage per second), while firing from a building it deals averagly 17 DPS + The first squad in building fires las guns, the second plasma and the third heavy bolter

[nmaxton]

jeez take a breath buddy.

[minigun20]

orks are the most fun to play in dawn of war, but guard are funny when u see the guy scrambling to stop the endless flood of guardsmen and the hellhounds

[christivie12]

This is my question: Where can i find a link that will allow me to display all health bars of all squad units

[mhmh56600]

Imperial Guard Rock!!!!!!

[marineninga]

absaloute best thing to do vs computer is to cap as many req points as you can and after that wait for 3-5 minutes and you have like 20 billion req and power!

[Polored1066]

most of the time, new players play ig because they are like earth army...

but it is one of the hardest race in this game

[lubi125]

true

[Roky386]

nope IG are not for new players, for new players are space marins or chaos. IG die easly & are not strong in close combat

[Team4omena]

imperial guard are uselef for newbs i mean new players because they got lots of troops in small time and you dont have to spend lots of recouses and they got lots of modile armor

[sarmikgar]

IG are the primary forces of the Imperium, whose main tactic is to charge under the cover of artillery, unleashing massive lasgun volleys until the enemy is crushed to a pulp.

[mattmoran69er]

IG are spose to be British?

[carey1146]

There British and Russian in WW1

[LucanJacups]

@carey1146 There's a bunch of different ones. The Death Korps of Krieg represent the Germans of World War I, the Vostroyans are sort of supposed to culturally and aesthetically mimic the 19th century Russian Empire and (aesthetically) their Cossack regiments (pre-emancipation), the Valhallans are sorta supposed to be the WWII Soviet army, I think. The Cadians are just sorta... I don't know. Normal Imperial Guard.

[ALancerA]

IG are Weak and they Die easy >:D

[Airbender222]

1. IG

2. Spacemarines

3.Orks

[Polored1066]

1.Orks

2.Tau

3.Eldars

[Nonio96]

u talk to fast...

[freakymoejoe2]

how do you hot key?

[DbCSteelLegion]

select the unit, press "ctrl" and the number you want to hot key them too, very useful :D

[KisameItachi]

Dude, what are you saying lol. I was looking for a tutorial video and i got this..... Help video. It's like for people who know a crap load about the game.

[Cronocke]

If what you want is a tutorial for the bare basics of how to play IG... load the game up, click Skirmish, then click Tutorial at the bottom of the screen.

This is for people who already know that stuff and need/want more.

[Agent1W]

Best builder units, best base defense, great ability vs. infantry, great specialized vehicles and a powerful generalist one, great ultimate unit, great commander units...IG is truly rewarding.

Just watch out for enemy melee assault...

[Pocoyo7]

And they have the best propaganda

[Agent1W]

That's meant for "morale purposes", hah.

[ArminMeiwes23]

hey, you forget the priests. In case of close combat you only must use the hability that makes them invulnerable for a a few seconds (this is a universe of paine for this close combat attackers)

[Agent1W]

Yes, thank you! I believe priest-guardsmen do a lot better in melee as well...but I'm not the melee-chargin' type playing IG.

[mercscout]

people hotkey buildings although personally i dont hotkey anything, just memorize the basic BO's like "gm"gm"tp"gm with g,g,e,g

[mysticalpotato86]

tactica control is the first thing i build - nades and sergeants ftw

[colorconnection]

wow, vaul... at first i thought you were pronouncing "chimera" wrong, and i was about to snootily correct your pronunciation. however, i realized that if i was wrong i'd look like an idiot, so i decided to check a dictionary to make sure i was right... turns out you're pronouncing it properly. damn, all this time i've been pronouncing chimera like an idiot. i would pronounce it like "chimney," but with the last syllable as "era."

[LitttleD94]

Do most people hot key there troop squads? Or do most people just manually select them?

[WytchTits]

Nice work man, my buddy will find this helpful.

[CraiG10021]

Hello.

I am Craig Marshall, I play dawn of War: Dark cCrusade aswell. I usually play every-day, maybe like yourself?

I play Eldar/Space-Marines and wondering if you would like too team-up. Im 4 STARS, 75-80% Win Ratio (110-140 rufly).

If you want too play reply back, and we can see if we can arrange too play with each other.

[lolookphor]

[squidge789]

day DEC 14

[UnrealSolaris]

I went from "Yay DoW :)" to "Aww comp stomp :("

You should at least get Dawn of Skirmish AI.

[VaulSC]

I have it. A challenging fight was not the point of this video, it's just a tutorial

[LitttleD94]

In the video did you say you hot keyed your building that produces Guardsmen, or something else? I couldn't quite tell what you said, sorry.

[Kilithaza]

Against a real player you NEED grenade launchers against ork. because an Ork player would of pushed. but yeah in that game you didnt need it.

[PodMan26]

Hey Vaul nice job there i was really gonna try and maybe play the IG. This will prolly help me a lot. btw i'm a complete noob at DoW and im not too good at rts' in general. lol

[toastertomattoe]

looks like a fantastic game. are you getting the new one?

[PodMan26]

Why hello there how are you? I see that the videos that i send you influence you a little or did you randomly find this?

[toastertomattoe]

a little of both. hey i got ace combat. OJ box and burnout pardise
