The other complaint sounds interesting, but I don't understand. Won't the guys nuking your Strategic Point also just kill your Helper fag when he goes to build the listening post? Maybe you should explain this again real slow for me.
The instant you tell a worker to build a listening post it appears on the point at like 25% health and doesn't start increasing until the worker arrives (just like every other building you order bulit). You could tell a worker across the map to build a listening post being "decaptured" and it would appear there, at which point you just cancel it.
But OMFG SEER COUNCIL SO IMBALANCED BECAUSE I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF ATTACKING THEM HAND TO HAND ARRRRGGG WTF WTF FIX THIS AND NOTHING ELSE!
Honestly I have no clue what everyone's problem with the seer council was. Even when I was Eldar I hardly used them. They're a huge time and money sink, they're dedicated melee fighters that aren't that good at melee, their special abilities are nothing to write home about, and their morale gets broken far too easily (despite the fact that they're made up entirely of leaders). Their only good point is their special melee weapons (which require even more time and money to equip) ignore armor, which makes them good against...defenseless buildings and tanks that decide to sit there and not move. Wow. They still get slaughtered in hand to hand against mech vehicles, just like all other infantry.
Besides the retarded connection issues and bugs, what I would have liked to see was:
-Make orks not suck
Their whole strength in numbers motif never materializes. It doesn't matter if their squad sizes are double that of the other races' because ork population cap counts individual orks, not squads. Even then you end up with nearly the same max as other races; a full space marine army is 80 marines, a full ork army 90 orks.
Then there's the fact that their morale breaks like a fucking twig. What good is having a huge squad of 15 if they break after 3 casualties? The gay sort of workaround for this is to just build several minimal sized squads instead of a couple full sized. You get more total morale that way plus you get a higher heavy weapon to ork ratio. The tabletop game solves this problem by making ork squads harder to break the larger the squad is. I'm guessing Relic just...forgot about that point.
-Eldar turret exploit
There are a few "critical points" scattered around maps. If you capture over half of them a six minute countdown starts. If you still hold more than half of them when the timer reaches zero then you win. You also can't fortify critical points with listening posts and turrets as to avoid games from turning into simply who can get there first and build a million turrets and turtling their way to victory. The only problem is Eldar fuck this up by being able to build turrets pretty much anywhere (off of gateways). One map is just one critical point in the center. Every single game there is just getting an Eldar player to the middle and building nothing but turrets. You lose.
-Space marines late game
Are ungodly good. They can orbital drop almost half of their army anywhere on the map with hardly any restriction. Include your commander in that drop and you can instantly level half their base with an orbital bombardment. Or just save that orbital bombardment to singlehandedly turn the tide of the battle of your choice. There's not much you can do to save your base against a marine player who knows what he's doing.
They don't get the flashy giant demon unit that other sides get, but I'd take being able to level bases on a whim over a giant elephant any day.
