[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 3147857, member: 14403"] Played this weekend in a comp stomp with a guy from Toronto against two necron cpus. He played IG and I played Eldar and I saw him use an IG tactic I'd never though of before though it makes perfect sense. He built a series of barracks near a choke point where the necrons would come at him. He'd garrison 3 squads of infantry in the barracks and fight the necrons that way. If his barracks was close to being destroyed he'd simply move them to another that he had built. Meanwhile he'd pump out the new support weapon teams and deploy them behind the barracks. While the Necrons beat their head against the barracks the support teams would be laying into them and the basilisks would be further off laying into the necrons with artillery fire. I've never used the barracks that way before but it makes perfect sense since the necrons don't really have any weaponry that takes down buildings all that quick. As the eldar the first thing I did was research the cloaking technology of the webgates and used them to cloak my base and the weaponry at any choke points. I saw a weird thing happen with the AI. The necrons just gathered around my choke points while my turrets tore into them. They wouldn't move on... they just sat there. The CPU knew that there were enemy structures there but because of the cloak couldn't engage them. Of course I took advantage of the situation and researched the hell out of my tech tree. We pressed forward once the IG player had his Baneblade, Kesrkins, Ogryns and Basilisks and I had my Avatar and Fire Prisms. I honestly thought that there was no way we'd stand a chance against two Necron CPU players but I was proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
