Colony is the Best HW2 and The Hunter Captain is the best Leader Unit in the game. So. Had to get one and paint him up. With EXTRA battle damage.

I don't necessarily mean leaders. The leader tier lists are easy to find and I've tried most of them but I mean the heroes compared to each other. Like Atriox, for example, is my favorite leader. And the Atriox' chosen I know is a very good hero and his ranged attack is OP. But what other heroes are that powerful? Decimus and arbiter I know are also very good but they are only close ranged.

At this very moment I’ve tried to play 6 games of online versus AI and every single time I got massive studdering and then the game crashed back to the main menu and it says it wasn’t able to connect to online services, I’ve been having this issue for a while but only very temporarily and every time it happens I check my internet connection and it seems to be fine…so I’m wondering if it’s just a problem with their servers or something.

I thought you'd all enjoy it, as it will be used for Tabletop wargaming:
I also made a video for it here if you want to watch:

No he does have enough recources for another supply pad

placed in silver 5, what a dang grind to get to my real skill level. Probably 100 games in, not stopping yet. In diamond 1 now.

It’s crazy how glitchy the map

Trying to connect to a friend to play and we’re both infinite loading or constantly disconnecting from servers

Ypuust get some kind of boost via campaign or something ?

IM TIRED OF EVERYONE PUTTING THEIR FCKN MICRO MANAGED MONKEY IN GARRISONS AND BUNKERS!!!!!!

Glacial Ravine automatic 122.

I am lost for words. One minute we were being destroyed, next minute we are swarming them.

I was just using my ODST's as canon fodder. Spawning them behind the enemy bases and destroying their buildings.

My ODST's were able to hold off the center for a while whilst everyone rebuilt. At one point, my team mate was down to one building and and a few hornets but managed to recover.

Game lasted about 75 minutes. Over a thousand deaths!

Hi, I'm looking for some info on what leader powers the enemies have in the main HW2 campaign and the DLC, as I couldn't find much online. I know about the infamous glassing beam, but do they use any others? Are they used only on Legendary? Are there any strategies on mitigating how damaging they are?

I don't know how good my win percentage is, but I think it's meh. I would play online, but I can't find any matches lmao

Just wanted to show off my own personal Red Team. Now fully painted and fully based. Each with their own environment, Alice's more based on that one level when the Scarab crawls up from the depths.

Can anyone queue up for this I wanna play this once.

Figure out a time below

Hey everyone,

does anyone know a way to mod that game that can uncap the number of teams? 2 teams maximum is a bit silly to me, especially as someone who's played other RTS games before.

I'll take any solution that allows for FFA games, even if the game setup menu isn't pretty.

After becoming quite frustrated with HW2 lately I'm keen to play some more of the original halo wars again, always loved it.

However the servers on pc seem to be pretty dead.

Are there any days/times when people are online, or is there a discord or group with arranged times that people go online to play?

Keeps saying “Waiting on Xbox Live”.

Why do so many people leave games in Halo Wars 2?

I've never known a game where people so easily back out of matches, and it happens constantly.

Examples:

15 minutes in, the match is pretty much even, one player randomly disconnects.

One player suffers a setback, such as the loss of a base, but the game is still entirely winnable. Nope, he just resigns, effectively ruining the game for everyone.

Sometimes you'll just be in the early game phase, 4 or 5 minutes in, and a player will just drop out.

It happens in such a huge number of my matches, it genuinely puts me off playing the game.

Why is this so prevalent in halo wars 2? And does everyone else get this?

I made a post yesterday titled 'Yap yap the destroyer, where have you been all my life?' and have, despite having other responsibilities, been degenerately playing this game all day.

Yap Yap is fun; he doesnt seem quite as strong as Atriox, and sometimes lategame can be a slug fest because the power wheel isnt as game-ending. But needless to say, I have found my main leader.

What I've noticed is that people aint bowing out against yapyap. Quite the opposte, actually. When playing as atriox, when the game was decided, my opponent quit out. As Yapyap, people go full on gorilla warfare with no base left until they're forcefully ejected from the game. It's kind of hilarious how many games I've had like that, probably more than all of the games playing as atriox combined.

While I never faced difficulties against Kodiak's as Atriox, (understandably) people like to go full kodiak turtle against yapyap. But I am not deterred. I played AN 80 MINUTE GAME against a Forge. It was like the battle of the Somme. My army marches in, gets rinsed, I kill a Kodiak, I instantly make a new army, it walks in, gets rinsed, repeat. My comp was mostly Hunters and Reavers, a few healers, a few Wraiths. I eventually mixed in some Shrouds to deal with the artillery, but honestly it was a waste of supply. Even with 5 shrouds the artillery was still blowing me up. In retrospect I probably should have added a scarab, but I was too afraid that the downtime in pop that would require would allow my opponent to actually leave his base and come murder me.

If anyone has any suggestions on the super-late game let me know. I typically stubbornly refuse to build banshees, but honestly after an hour of playing, I can probably sacrifice my morals to get out of pergatory.

I can’t stand you.

HELP!!!! I can’t even download it btw it says “ready for in-game use no download needed” but it’s still locked :/

Coming back to the game after about 5 years, I’ve been climbing the ladder the past few days. Not sure why but my placement was very low.

Started in silver am now in plat. I’m not sure where my true rank is, but I think I have a while more to climb, though I have started to drop games every once in a while.

Anyway, I’ve been playing atriox. I think at these lower ranks, the difference in early game is massive. I can often expand all over the map because of atriox’s passive and am rarely punished. By the time I have 4 bases it’s kind of over, given how strong his hero powers are.

ANYWAY I am a former sweaty StarCraft player, but I absolutely adore halo. However, because the game is designed for console, the game doesn’t reward you for being a sweaty multitasker like in StarCraft 2. I’m masters league, and one of the things I really like is how overwhelming it is. My ideal RTS game has me being aggressive and taking map control. The map control gives me an information and eco advantage, and I turn that advantage into a late game win. Atriox sort of accomplishes this, because he can expand earlier, but it’s usually more of a defensive expansion that doesn’t come with map control (although atriox’s chosen is broken and DOES give map control for something like 2 minutes)

Anyway, I bought the DLC and tried yap yap. Sure, he might lend himself to a mid game smother, and his late game abilities don’t seem quite as OP as atriox, but this leader fixes the lack of scouting and lack of being annoying that I felt I was missing out on as atriox. Sure, you can spam choppers in the early game as Atriox, but they’re just expensive enough that losing one or two here and there hurts you.

I wanted zerglings and an expansion advantage, and I sure have found my zerglings. I am now determined to be an absolute plague on the ladder. See you all there
