Hello, I have decided to record the point of view of all my 1vs1 games and save all the replays.
They are all available at my channel (RTS Cult Mechanicus on youtube), the replays are in the description and are hosted on Dropbox.
I want to play at least 50 games until 2 May, because after that I will have to be away for 7 days and I won't have access to my PC.

I will mostly do eco builds and use ASM to harass the enemy. I consider that my channel is a good resource for people that want to learn builds and see when to engage and when to kite / hit and run the opponent.
Currently I'm play a build that is heavily focused on drop pods combined with Gabriel Angelos default healing drop pods.

Hey @n0ave_
I saw your games and it was pretty good.
Just wondering what you do vs orks early game
and Eldar
Find myself getting rushed early on and being unable to deal with melee
I use double scout asm for eldar
and triple tac vs orks
any help you can give would be great dude

I like to use ASM and scouts and try to crowd control my opponents. Also I used the 2 listening posts doctrines and I try to establish one in the middle of the map.
In Dow3 it`s really important to know when to take a fight and when to try to disengage, I still need to learn that. Also never try to fight your opponent if he has his 2nd elite faster. I tried that vs an Eldar, he has Strike team, I had Deathwatch but we hit the 3 elite point mark and he got Macha. I was trying to push his listening power and got obliterated.
So, just be aware of your opponent elites and try to take fights that you know you can win.

Hi there!
Quick question if you don´t mind
Where the ++heresy redacted++ do you recommend building the barracks in Port Saunderus??? Turns out Eldar can place their own near the triple gen point at the bottom but SM can´t cos our barracks is bigger. We can place it 1m from the point or very far, but not at a ideal distant (or not ideal for me at least). Freaking big WTF if you ask me.
Cheers!

That's a very good question. I usually position it in the bottom or the top point since it`s a safer area.
I have also been using the doctrine that enables listening towers to reinforce so that I don't have the need to have my barracks out far in the field.
Maybe we could position it on the middle (either top or bottom, but I`m still not sure what's the best place for this map)

Very nice, thank you for vids, they are very helpful, keep them coming. As a request, would be great to see some new Elites and their uses.
n0ave_
I`m glad you like the videos, I'll keep uploading all my 1v1 wins or defats. I want to use the new elite units, but most of the 1v1 are decided by the 2 to 4 elite points units. I have a game were I fielded ranged terminators and I always keep the ven dread for late game but I rarely have long matches.
I saw that the librarian scout stun grenade scales with the level of the librarian, I plan to level my librarian to level 10 and see exactly how long the scouts stun will last. If anyone knows the exact duration please let us all know.

Dat is indeed very nice.
But How can you save all replays? After playing 7 games and saving their replays I only found 3 or 4 in total when I wanted to check some of them.
n0ave_
I move them from that folder and store them on a file cloud sharing system.
Currently got 16 1v1 games in the released version of the game, looking forward for 50 until 3rd of May when I'll be away for 7 days.
Ramon
Oh man I couldnt think of that. Thanks for the tip
I subscribed to see if I can improve my gameplay ^^
n0ave_
Great
I also struggle to improve at the moment, but I see I make progress everyday.

You probably still have the old habit of dawn of war 2 tacts are no longer what they used to be if you want a tip vs orks and eldar 2 tacts are more then enough and upgrade one of them to a flamer and run with the Slow death Doctrine at least for 1v1 it works really good for me.
You can always see where they want to atack and ambush them with your flamer and 1 shot them.

Hi
Came across your content last night while looking for DOW3 videos on youtube. I have to say I have learned a fair bit after watching a few videos already. I've been more fasinated with how you work your rescourses more than anything. Your always able to hammer out a quick landspeeder.
at any point would you ever consider taking Assault terminators with the frag for tact space marine and switch from scouts? as tbh the dreadnaught elite I really dont like at all I just take him for the assault marine doctrine. Don't really have much time to farm him to level 8 st the mo.
Thank you RTS please keep posting videos.
