depends on what army you use against them.
search for: dawn of wars players guide on google to finde the best guide I found so far.
eldar usually use hit and run tactics plus a lot of infiltration on their buildings... counter this with detection units and you should be good to go.

btw. do you mean in SP (like stronghold missions) or do you mean in skirmish/online MP?

Basic rundown:
Space marines - Heavy bolters and missile launchers
Chaos - Heavy bolters and horrors
Tau - Overwhelming firepower and Barracudas
Necrons - drag a box around your warriors and march straight into their hq at game start
Guard - Grenade spam, Russes, Sentinels and the Baneblade
Orks - Massed Boyz and tankbustaz
Dark Eldar - Early harass with jetbikes into dark lance scourges
Sisters - Massed Firepower and holy bulls*it abilities.

For the Necrons it's easier than that. If you build a Monolith just for producing warriors. Place it's rally point in the Eldar HQ location. Then when you are ready run up to the location where the warriors died at the Eldar HQ with the Necron Lord. And use the Lord's resurrection power on top of them all. The heard that gets up will be more than enough to wipe anything that is there.

You don't defeat eldar. DR outshoot even firewarriors, rangers keep all your armoy without morale and so on. VS eldar its just GG and leave, there is no point even playing vs eldar.

Should be an easy task. Eldar as a race in Soulstorm is completly underpowered. No artillery, no fanaticism/word of the emperor. No mobile healing. Instead they have high costunits. The only thing eldarplayers has to make up for this is their skill.

Just get the Ultimate Apocalypse mod. Relic has long moved on from patching this. DoW2, and the failed DoW3.

Yes you heared me son. Perhaps harlequinns should scale up better into Tier 3 by be given teleport ability so they could follow the Warpspiders easier. Or some sort of Light Fire Prism in Tier 3 to be used as mobile artillery and togheter w Brightlances for much needed AV.

Idk I'm struggling with Eldar in the campaign on hard rn.. Dunno why but it's like I breathe and suddenly there's a map-covering swarm of banshees that just rush in and shred everything. Tried everything I can think of, Rushing their bases (it's a 2v1 map for some reason) tried turtling up and just building warriors, upgrading them, some flayed ones for frontline and 8+ turrets, still get just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SHREDDED. It's like there isn't even a dent made with 4 squads of warriors 3 flayeds 8 turrets and necron lord with lightning pulse/phylactery/res orb... nothing I can do but throw my hands up bc they just flat out slaughter it all.

The last patch that Relic released for Soulstorm that made any gameplay changes completely ruined the Sisters of Battle by removing the flamers effectiveness against infantry health. If you think Relic will come back to this game... Well you can wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and see which one fills up first. Look at Relic's history.

They made this game. Then DoW2, which was a turn to tactical style RTS. Which is fine, but it's not what 40K is known for. Then DoW3, which was a complete failure because they made it into an RTS/MOBA.

You think their going to go back to their roots? They are perhaps more stubborn than you. They ain't comin' back to this. The devs at Relic ain't smart enough to know what's best for them, they are blinded by 'The Almighty Dollar'.

I gave you a solution, you refused to accept it. The UA mod fixes 99% of the things Relic's nerfs messed up. And adds so much much more to the game.
It's not my fault if your too stubborn to accept it.
Alt+ F4

im serious you cant
