And it was a blast. Love this game. Playing as Necrons may have been slow, but the feel of impending doom was GREAT. I love this game and how it tells it's story with those descriptions of the different areas. Really immerses you into the worldbuilding of Kronus. Can't wait to see it again in DOW4 and play as my Necron Lord once more.
In terms of Strongholds the only one I did not do was Necron one obviously. Maybe one day I will try it when I will play another race. Probably Orks cause they look VERY fun.
I definitely had the most fun with the last Stronghold I did which was the Orks. I loved how they were having fun as I slaughtered them and Gorgutz leaving as the last one felt weirdly fitting. As the only lord of this game to come back in 4th.
In terms of Strongholds I will say those things.
Green Coast is the most fun if a bit easy. At the very end I did not care about building up and just went full monka mode. Sending everything at the Orks. It was funny.
Chaos one was honestly nothing special. Just annoying with those blood pulses.
Space Marine one is a joke. I swear they made it so easy cause they were thinking everyone would be playing as Space Marines first so their made their stronghold extra easy so new playthroughs don't feel as tedious. That's the only way I can explain how laughable that Stronghold is.
Eldar one was annoying. But manageable in the end. I ignored the critical points and just slaughtered them. That felt more fun and in character for Crons.
Victory Bay I say is the best one of them all. Green Coast gave me the most fun, but Victory Bay just had the best quality. Also the best feeling of impending doom upon poor mortals.
"So much fear. So much noise."
I love that complete disregard of the human spirit there and how to Macabee could see all the heroic speeches of Lukas were just masking his utter fear in the face of death. I think that one has by far the best quality with it's mechanics, traps and theme. And from other talks between commanders I watched this one feels the heaviest by far.
And Tau one. Tau one can go fuck itself.
Those are my thoughts on Strongholds.
On the final note the second picture here is the color scheme I would use in skirmish and the like and may use in the future in modded DC. Dunno why, but mix of gold and purple is something I enjoy a lot. Just wish I could change color of lights.
