I guess I should get this Dawn of War II game everyone keeps going on about.

First game in a real long time that I've thought about when I wasn't playing. I really like replacing the "build an entirely new fortress every mission" style campaign with "fuck shit up with your elite strike force of badasses". The mechanics just work really well. Special abilities actually make a difference, units aren't made of paper (well Cyrus is, but he can DIAF), your units aren't complete retards that just wait to die if you leave them alone for a minute. It's quite good.

I LOVE this game but I suck. I have trouble keeping track of all my dudes and their abilities. I just end up going in there all four units selected and having the jump guys do their thing and my leader guy heal. I am sure there is more strategy then that. Sometimes actually, I'll send the scout dude in stealth to scope out their numbers.
Am I suppose to attack from multiple sides? Should I control units separately? How do I make the most of all the abilities? I am only one man with one mouse (although I do find keyboard shortcuts 1-4 helpful)!-

I've got this green jumppack for my commander, it's so hype, I even get some 50ish health from it. He jumps in, then Assault Terminators teleport in, plus the Heavy Weapons squad with a Plasma Cannon (just finally picked up a green one) put down whole sale death.
I keep swapping my third squad w/ the scouts, the dreadnaught or the tac terminators.

i came to just know the 1 2 3 4 shortcuts.... in my case, 4 is always the jumppack guys, 3 the mg squad, 2 is the variable between the army men, and the rogue, and 1 is the commander.
1- M for heal and E to teleport. kickass melee
2- f for grenades and click to get aggro
3 to position for MG nest, and q to focus fire
4- q to jump.
i dont really click on the squads onscreen, its simpler I think.
if you see it that way, it might help you. -

I picked this up and I can't even get to the menu. The CPU spikes into the 90s before the THQ video is done swooshing and eventually I have to kill it. Tried the usual suspects (updated drivers, disabled second monitor, disabled steam overlay, disabled antivirus) and nothing helps.
Anyone know what this is? :( -

So, do Thule, Cyrus or terminator devestator squads ever pick up swanky gear?
I found a swanky armour for Thule a while back, which I'm enjoying but he's still using that first white dreadnought cannon you find. By the same token, the sniper rifle selection is pretty awful.
I've picked up a few assault cannons for devestator terminators but the plasma cannon is such fun I'd rather use that.-

Neat! I'm glad you have experienced the joys of sploding everything unseen. My Cyrus has the trait which allows him to use equipment while stealthed and so is decked out with melta bombs, detpacks, remote detonators. It's fun.
His high-powered shot is also an incredible boss killer for most of the game but yes, without decent sniper rifles he's not much use in regular combat.

Dude I disagree...perhaps you don't have the right type of friends on your Steam list, but I have shitloads of shackers and other friends that I can see what they are playing, or join them, at any time - inside and outside of game.....more than Xbox Live even, and I'm at the 100 cap there. I'm not seeing how XBLA is any better at that system at all. If you are into achievements that's a bit different, although some steam titles have this implemented as well, sans the whole 'gamerscore' business....I'd prefer they NOT have that on steam actually.
