Whenever I play a RTS with varied races/factions, there is always a side that befuddles me. One whose strategies and tactics elude my grasp. In Starcraft, it was the Zerg. In Warcraft III, it was the Humans.
Now for DoW, it is the Eldar...
It sometimes feels like I am punching my guts whenever I play the Eldar. Their required playstyle is well... alien to me. I spent more time trying to keep them from dying like flies, then actually inflicting damage on the enemy, and Eldar Gods save me if the enemy send in Dreadnaughts or Tanks.
Not to mention that it is BLOODY EXPENSIVE to just build the INITIAL troops due to the need to research their stones first. I have to cough out blood too when I want to set up a sub-base elsewhere on the map, because you have to INDIVIDUALLY research the stones per building.
Basically speaking, it is MICROMANAGEMENT HELL for me to play the Eldar. It is fine and dandy to have extensive micromanagement when you are playing a turn-based game, and I throughly enjoy such games, but it is utterly insane when you try to apply it to a RTS!
At the moment, I prefer the factions in the following order,
Chaos Marines
Space Marines
Space Orks
Eldar
Can anybody point me to an online guide for the Eldar?
