DoW: Dark Crusade... stuck :/

That's actually quite a small amount of the army they have when playing. Just playing the single player stuff, and went to attach a Chaos controlled land. Entered, built a base, tech'd up enough to launch Dreadnaughts and sent 5x Dreadnaughts and both Terminator squads in there, and they get destroyed in under a minute.

Any tips on how I can possible do this map? The computer seems to ignore the player cap / vehicle cap limit and sometimes they have no less than 10 of those spider walker vehicles along with Daemon Prince's x3 and the large superpower thing with tons of health.

Hmm, most likely normal setting, I didn't adjust it when I went in game. Also just straight from the disk so I'm guessing it's unpatched.

Thanks for the tips

Upgraded game to 1.20 so hopefully some decent fixes, although was looking over them and Space Marines seem to get nerfed a lot and Chaos got a boost, so probably even harder

Second, at the higher rated areas the computer usually has 2-3 bases but only 1 base is fully developed at the beginning, you pretty much have to rush the other ones with your honour guard or you'll just be wiped out when the 2 or 3 bases worth of units steamroll you.

Ah never knew that, will send my honor guards out to lack the smack down earlier on

Although sometimes I find when I start that they already have millions of infantry and I die
