Im pwning their main army... beating them back to their base, i break in, and they just warp everything away, and cloak it. Im trying to find the rest of their base now, but its all cloaked, so its kind of hard to find, then next thing i know, its like wtf FIREPRISMSPAM!

jesus eldar are gay. thats not fair, having the ability to hide shit all over the map.

lol i hate that too, when in starcraft u hav to destroy all the buildings, and terran players lift off their shit and send it away
bahaha those idiots

[IA-HonersStodnt]

yea, the thing is, terran buildings you can at least scout with normal units... eldar cloak their buildings, so you cant find them at all.

[Garamiah]

wow that has a huge suck factor

i wanna get some more rts, specially DoW

[Snowplow]

dont "hero" units detect cloaked buildings?

i know they detect mines

[masterjaja]

what the??Cloaked buildings??Its one of teh secret cheat in starcraft including teh '500 limit of psi' cheat.I guess,They used arbiter...nope,arbiters cant cloak buildings,but only units

[IA-HonersStodnt]

yea, hero's can detect buildings. but by the time your hero finds the building, they can just relocate it somewhere else. IG only has like 1 hero unit untill it gets the assassin, which is way late game.

incorrect.. if you mind control a drone and do the unburrow thingy while the arbiter moves away and get it cloaked then u can build cloaked buildings if i remember right..

You aren't playing quickstart are you? I've never seen anyone get fire prisms out outside of quickstart games or 4v4s.

Yea, commanders detect anything cloaked.

Also it takes a long ass time to warp buildings out and you can see where it's relocating before it's relocated. If you managed to push into their base, they shouldn't have been able to relocate or if they did you should have at least been able to stop their tech.

You playing Quickstart?, without Quickstart Eldar are the most useless team to play as in the game.

Erm, not in Winter Assault. Eldar got completely reworked in Winter Assault are very different than in the original game. In WA 1.41 most considered them overpowered due to how overpowered Dark Reapers were against all other tier 1 infantry except commisar guardsmen with grenade launchers (which were by far the most overpowered tier 1 unit and also got a whipping in 1.5) , call of war banshees having ridiculous building damage and brightlance wraithlords pwning all vehicles since you can't dance them. All of which seem to be fixed looking at the 1.5 patchnotes although I haven't tried the new patch yet personally.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the extremely overpowered guide ability of the farseer which was also fixed by 1.5

Yes I am a player of Winter Assault now, and I do relize those problems, though I say its fair trade for the shit us Eldar players had to go through in DOW.

No. you just cant adapt and counter. rts is about countering. you may be able to micro like a god, but your unit, if weak to your enemys, will lose.

You remember correctly..

[IA-HonersStodnt]

meh, in my impatience to win, I neglected several key factors. one, I forgot to get map control. I went for the throat, without taking out the outer bases. big mistake. in starcraft, it would have worked, but not here. I need to learn to stop thinking so much about what i'd do in SC, and start learning WA more.....

and no, it wasnt quick start. He just kept my army busy for 20 minutes chasing ghost buildings while he built up prisms.

hell, I took 3 of his prisms out, with INFANTRY.... but the spam eventually overwhelmed me... i'd uncapture a point, and just run to decap the next point... i never bothered to actually cap the points. Big mistake. WOnt happen next time.

[Kookamungaa]

yeah apparently that made the farseer's guide increase units accuracy by 3000% instead of 30%.. little bit of a screw up there eh?

[-Reaver-]

Lol, nothing like teleporting a bonesinger to a spot no one else can get, build a webway gate and cloak =P
