. The Necrons in Dark Crusade. They do not need requisition (the main resource of the game, Necrons will get a a boost to their build times instead when capturing strategic locations), the Necron Warriors are free (although they take a long time to build, and the more Warrior squads you have, the longer it takes to build them), as well as the resurrection ability (which means that destroyed units have a chance to come back to life, which can take the Necrons above the Arbitrary Headcount Limit). The Necron Lord himself may be considered overpowered since when fully upgraded, he can temporarily turn himself into an invulnerable C'tan. In Dark Crusade, once you destroy an enemy HQ, they lose,.

The Necron can instantly teleport up to five squads of Flayed Ones any place not covered by Fog of War. Get one unit into the enemy base, teleport in all your Flayed Ones, and wail on the HQ. This works as well in multiplayer as it does in the campaign. The Necron Lord is a strong melee unit that can teleport and can be equipped with, say, a regenerative ability that reduces ranged damage, the ability to turn himself and surrounding units invisible, can resurrect said units to go above the cap, and can turn into a giant invincible god of death.
Dawn of War II is the sequel to Dawn of War and was released on February 19, 2009. Unlike its predecessor, it has Tyranids. About fucking time. It stars Sergeant Avitus, who hates you EVERYTHING, Sergeant Tarkus, who is ba ld, Spike Spiegel (also known as Wolverine from the X Men), and a bunch of 'mos. And your Force Commander avatar clearly spends more than the sanctioned amount of time maintaining his hair.
Which unit do you think is going to be sent into the base as a spotter?. Soulstorm made it even more broken with the Essence Of The Deceiver ability, which turns him into a giant invincible god of deceit (who can summon a fake Monolith and mind control a squad). The icing on the cake? Once killed, the Necron Lord can be respawned where he died, all upgrades intact. Frequently this means inside the opponent's base, which an upgraded Lord can easily solo.
The mass resurrection alone is a bit of a. If you lose a lot of troops, you can just bring every one of them in a small range back to life. And you can do this even when your populations are maxed out, giving you a larger army than you're normally allowed to have!. The Tau in Dark Crusade, likely because they have very powerful ranged weaponry, making it difficult for the other units to close in. They also have early stealth units, which are effective since the enemy will not have many detector units so early in the game. While a skilled human player can usually adequately defend against them, the Tau Barracuda fighter-bombers from Soulstorm are extraordinarily broken in campaign mode. They have huge amounts of armor and firepower and the cap is 5, you can basically send them in to level an enemy base while the rest of your army sits at home.
The campaign commanders have a hilariously broken mechanic with their drone wargear: as it makes them act as a squad, the commander can be reinforced if he dies (like the IG's Command Squad). Meaning that you can send the commander in the middle of an enemy base or mob and continuously revive him, for free, instantly, and it resets all his cooldowns, as long as the drones are alive (and while the drones don't reinforce instantly, they're also free). Oh, and for a few seconds after the commander's death, the drones can still use the jumppack ability. The Space Marines in the Winter Assault expansion became gods of war.
Their forces gained significant health and damage buffs, especially for the Whirlwind tanks and Assault Marines. This meant that Space Marines can easily clean the map of enemy infantry by tying them down with cheap but mighty Assault Marines and then completely murdering them with constant missile bombardments from multiple Whirlwinds. Any enemy armoured forces and even super units can easily be dealt by Assault Terminators and Tactical Squads. For this reason, later expansions made the Whirlwind have a cap of 1 max. for the original Dawn of War, the Eldar are ridiculously powerful (in the first game they merely had an advantage because they were good at taking down heavy infantry, which both Marines and Chaos relied heavily on). Basically, everything you could do, the Eldar could do better. Their early units were quite good, but their late-game units were just insane; Fire Prisms had better armour than Land Raiders (which are Relic units), Fire Dragons had armour comparable to Terminators, were immune to knockdown and could destroy vehicles and buildings in seconds, all their vehicles except the Wraithlord were fast and could do a jump move, giving them extreme mobility, and with the Avatar increasing population cap they could have the largest force in the game.
To make them even more annoying to face, they could build Webway Gates that allowed units to be moved between different gates, and those gates could be made invisible. They also counted as base structures so as long as one remained, the Eldar player's base didn't count as being destroyed. This lead to many games becoming several hour long sessions of 'hunt the last Webway Gate'. Eldar are especially effective against Necrons (, since they were created to fight Necrons), due to their builder unit having an ability that can lock down an enemy building.
All Necron units are produced from their Monolith, so the Eldar can just rush the Necron base early in the game, lock down the Monolith and prevent the Necrons from building anymore units. In Dawn of War II, the Eldar have invisible bases that they can establish anywhere on the map, a very strong economy, a Relic Unit that boosts unit production, and the ability to put Wraithlords (giant walkers that are highly effective against buildings) on overwatch, with a rally point in the enemy base. The Eldar are an absolute nightmare to face in high resource games as Fire Prisms, Avatars, grav platform teams, Wraithlords and Wraithguards run amok. The latter are easily the most aggravating of the Eldar units thanks to the absolutely obscene damage they deal to everything while lacking the extremely short range that balances them out on the tabletop. The only thing they conceivably have problems killing are fast cannon fodder melee units like Sluggas, Hormagaunts, and Heretics; and those will be chopped to pieces by shuriken cannons. The Sisters of Battle.
All around decent units, with few glaring weaknesses (the biggest one being melee attackers, and that only in Tiers 1 and 2), they're kind of like Space Marines only better. One of their key advantages is that both Secondary Commanders (Priest and Confessor) can spot infiltrated units, and the Cannoness can do so with a single Wargear upgrade. While you can only have one Cannoness and Confessor (which cost zero population), you can build as many Priests as you want (though they each cost one population), letting you potentially have every single infantry squad saying 'fuck you' to stealth. Their turrets also detect infiltrated units, as do listening posts with the religious icon upgrade (though you can only build five of those). The Priest also has access to arguably the best Acts of Faith, including healing the squad he's attached to, dramatically increasing its damage against all unit types, or literally raining fire and brimstone on any and every unit or structure attacking his squad.
Combined with their solid armor, health, and damage-dealing abilities, you won't often lose Sisters in battle, and if you do, the Cannoness can use an Act of Faith to raise them as uncontrollable battle angels for a brief time, giving you breathing space to reinforce squads or finish off some pesky enemies. About the only thing that gives them trouble is some massed attacks by Imperial Guardsman with armor support. The Immolator tank and Lightning Fighter aren't the best vehicles, but the Exorcist artillery tank and Penitent Engine more than make up for them. And their Relic unit, the Living Saint, is not only a solid all-around combatant, but can even resurrect when killed, albeit with a cooldown timer on the ability, so if you can kill it twice quickly enough, they'll have to build another.
Give basic Battle Sisters flamers to wreck enemy morale, and Celestian squads melta and mulit-melta guns to deal with vehicles, and the Sororitas will march straight into the enemy's teeth, and march back out over a smoldering ruin. Add Sisters Repentia and/or Penitent Engines to keep pesky melee units locked down, and there isn't much that can stop or even slow the Sisters of Battle when they get underway with a full head of steam. The beta of Dawn of War II expectedly had. Problems, which required balance changes. The combat shotguns upgrade of Space Marine Scouts had a chance to somewhere around a 15% to knockback infantry units hit that was likely just annoying in most cases against other infantry squads - the worst that can happen is being knockbacked while a weapon team is setting up or down, quite rarely.
Against single-unit commanders, the duration and probability of the knockback occurring combined with the fire-rate of a Scout squad's four members regularly stunlocked commanders to death - because knockback could occur while retreating, it was like the commander couldn't even get away while retreating!. A similar issue happened with an upgrade for Hormagaunts, giving their ranged attacks a similar 'chance to knockback' mechanic. Considering, a good amount of Hormagaunt squads would stunlock anything that wasn't a vehicle. The Kommando Nob had an explosive that was accidentally had an extra 0, doing 5000 damage instead of 500 damage. Origens para cydia 5.1.1.
