help understanding orks

[Lodrin1]

i am finding orks the hardest of the 3 races to play, the entire pop req to reseach is really throwing me off.

how am i supposed to play orks if i want to tech up high to use nob squad and other ork stuff?

whenever i have the resources to tech, i don't have the ork pop, and when i have the ork pop, i don't have the resources. besides when i got high ork pop im playing against a newb =(

most of my ork games end up with me getting as many wartraks as possible supporting my orks, and try to win the game there. kill their infantry, get in range of their base, upgrade to rokkits on the wartraks, and go to town.

Well, the ork tech tree is very condusive to ork strategy... build orks, orks, and more orks!

You just have to achieve a steady progression of reinforcing mobz and moving up the tree.

ork taktiks:

All rite boyz, da plan iz: win. An' if we looz, it's cuz ya didn't follow da plan.

basically the pop req thingy is base on the amount of waaagh banner you have...
the more u have, the higher u tech...
--(correct me if i am wrong, cos i've only play the demo mod)--
but at 150 each, its kinda hard to have more than 5 banner bulit up during early stage of the game...

so when playing 1v1 send in ur Big Mek asap to kill off enemy isolated troops and buliders...
train limit amount of troops 2-4 to ward off attack...
tech up asap...
once Mek Workshop is done..
swarm in wartark and more troop...
continue to bulit waaagh banner and upgrade...
if u manage things well(both battle and base),
your tech tree should be quite high by then... nobz, warboss, etc should be there...
just a suggestion...

Orks seem a lot different than they were in beta. I was doing pretty well as an Ork player in beta, yet now I'm losing consistantly. Of course, everyone seems to play Marines so that's all I've fought since I got the retail version. I had no such problems against Marine players in the beta, this leads me to believe that something - be it Marine or Ork - got b0rked along the way.

I tried playing Eldar (again against Marines, fancy that) and the battle played out a bit differently but the two seem balanced enough.


Dem humiez must not like da boyz.

I heard that they adjusted something with Shoota boyz and the morale damage of big shootas.
