Regular Games Night??

Jazzy

How about setting up a regular games night for all of us DoW heads?
as u might have guessed from my sig im a member of the Unreal Tournament community. about a year ago we set up regular games nights (every Thursday & Sunday) and from there it just grew and grew. Now we dont even bother with it any more cos our servers are full almost every night and just the other day we got 2 new servers (bringing our count up to 4!! ) and a dedicated clan match server, which is cool. All this started by the boards Unreal thread, if u look at most of the threads they are extremely old posts on it from about a year ago. So y not start off the same way with DoW?

We seem to have alot of ppl interested in playing so if RopeDrink or another moderator wants to try and set up either a weekly or bi-weekly night to play DoW then i think that would be well cool.

What do other people think? Good/bad idea ???

I'm in favour of handicaps so long as Jazzy is the one being handicapped.

I still have nightmares of those hordes of tac marines...

Id be up for it, though Ive never played it online.

How bout this for a match (robbed from the DoW forums)n this Grot Fest, we will be putting 5 assasins on one team, to the test against 4 grot players on the other.
Thats 4 assasins, against 160 potential kills.
The assasins are in competition, the player with the most kills wins, simple as that, but only the vindicaire must be used (apart from nessesary capping and building).

As an IG player you must tech to vindicaires, and thats it. Nothing else must be able to inflict damage (no LP2s or turrets, no squads in bunkers etc. delete all other units including builders as they will fire from bunkers too). Should an assasin die, you may replace him, but loose 5 from your score (which will be shown from the "losses" score).

As one of the grot players, you must build! Make it impossible for the assasins to get close to you by covering the map in new settlements and banners. As timeprogreeses, the assasins will have a much harder time of it. However don't just sit in your HQ, thats boring. Also, you may infiltrate, but the assasin can see you anyway, so it won't do much good
Grots will also take out an assasin if they see him, if he getts bogged down into combat with them, he will die. Kill the assasins!
And also, no reinforcing the grots! Once they are dead, the game is over.

#dawnofmyth.ie on quakenet if ur interested in a game.
the main problem is that alot of us use routers and DoW is a b1tch to get to connect through routers
