Tell me /tg/ if games workshop decided to make another Dawn of War title, What would you want in it?
>>43751785
A Starter army that you get with buying the game, you would need to select what starter army BTW.
Then keep everything as it is, Buy new models as transactions and paint them with a virtual painting thing.
Have some sort of kitbashing thing in as well.
>>43751785
More macro like DoW1 and SC. DoW2 was lame because it was just a slow as fuck failure RTS/MOBA hybrid with no building management.
>>43751785
can play as mecha Gabe
>>43751791
That'd fit more if GW were totally fine with a proper digital version of the wargame, which won't happen any time soon.
>>43751785
Wait, I thought dawn of war 3 was already in the making
Anyway, I'd like to see a mode without base building myself
>>43751785
>What would you want in it?
SPESS MEHREENS
By which I mean more Scott McNeil.
eldar, space marines, chaos and orks
>>43751785
Not so retardedly much hp on shit.
Falling back not as imbalanced.
Seriously just check the elite mod of DoW II and you'll have a shitton of improvements already.
Imho they should just hire some of the Elitemod guys
Total War-scale battles. 40k fights are massive or not at all
DOW1/WA felt like it was pretty much on the mark. Maybe expand the army painter to include theming your army somewhat, giving your army specialisations that were locked in before game start, like chapters/regiments/craftworlds/hive fleets/etc. Nothing huge and gamebreaking, but enough to give some flavour and uniqueness to MP games.
Some bigger maps with more room to maneuver would be fun too. I know not every map was Into the Breach, but it still felt a bit cramped, and it made me feel like the fast attack units were pretty useless.
Let Inf and Vehicle cap be adjustable in the game options. If you were limited to 10 inf and 5 vehicle things would get interesting; likewise if you could set it to 30 or even 40 on bigger maps, and play an 8 player map with 2-4 people and high resource rate, shit would be cray.
Since we're wishlisting hard
>All the races and models present, with quarterly updates to introduce new models.
>Those glorious buggers on Elite Mod handling balance because I know they can do it.
>Multiple Aesthetic customisation.
>Destructible landscape like the bridge in the Dow2 pitch video.
>Campaign following Gabriel mechangelos killing shit
>GW hypes the game by selling campaign character minis.
>>43752013
I just want a Boreale mini
>>43751785
I don't want any Tau forces in the game
Having factions be split into different subfactions, each having their own unique units and buildings.
Chaos having different warbands
Different space marine chapters
Different IG regiments
Etc.
>>43751785
Massive, lore heavy single-player campaign that alternates between M41 Blood Ravens fighting and dying in a counterassault to retake Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade and M37 Blood Ravens showing the rise of Azariah Vidya.
Base-building would be Multi-Player only. Single-player would have you controlling an entire battle company that suffers permanent casualties.
>>43751785
Not really DoW, but I'd like a game which was effectively a real-time version of the tabletop. No base-building, just use points to build an army and go wage war with a variety of objectives.
>>43752685
...although by the tabletop, I really mean Epic rather than 40k. Decent-sized battles, y'know?
>>43751785
I started listing off things, then realized that it pretty much summed up to DoW 1 with updated graphics.
Oh, and a role for whoever voiced Sturnn.
>>43751785
It needs to have captain titus in it.
>>43752336
Forgot to mention this but every human is voiced by BRYAN BLESSED.
>>43751988
this.
Give us Warhammer: Dark Omen but for 40k.
Garrisonable buildings; with city Maps like coh.
Vehicles having armour like in coh and requiring anti vehicle weapons to damage.
Ability to call in things like strafing runs Ala coh instead of the silly addition of flying units that dow1 did.
Similar campaign format.
Also increase in size and scale plus ability to zoom out. With massive maps from hives to agriworlds to death world's all destructible / rebuildable to a certain extent (bridges, buildings, craters, walls)
Sindri and Bale origin story
>>43753080
Just remake Final Liberation.
>>43753085
Kind of like men of war?
Or the other one ... i forgot what its called but its similar.
Also maybe add in fleeing civilians just for flavour
You know what would be fun and new for DoW?
Balance between factions and units.
Quality over quantity (in terms of balance and unit/upgrade choices, that is) for all factions, while still making sure that (in Chaos' case) not one of the four Chaos Gods gets horribly underrepresented (gets tiring seeing Khorne almost always take the spotlight while the other three Gods just get a few units/upgrades or so).
>>43753080
>Dark Omen
Right in the nostalgia.
>>43753176
DOW was always fun with 8 races all fighting each other in FFA.
At least 6 races at launch.
>>43751785
A bigger scale instead of a smaller one. Bigger than the original. A game where muhreens are flufflevel, not gamelevel, mowing through the opposition. A game where the orks and the guard really can get away with wave tactics.
>>43753085
They just had ro reskin and adapt some elements of COH to get this, instead they went full retard in DoW2, ffs not even destroyed vehicles stayed on the map, but at least we got boss fights in a rts right?
>>43751785
Playable Admech whose entire play style is copied and pasted from Supreme Commander.
>>43752336
No thanks.
>>43753325
Of course you'll get 6 races at launch!If you preorder that is
>>43753347
Sega being Sega, that's an unfortunate reality
>>43753164
Civiees would be a cool addition
>>43753330
This would be cool; massive ork / ig / nud armies while others are smaller and more specialised. Would play this
>>43753384
Maybe like a continous online map, a few worlds and moons, like how eternal crusade is gonna be :/
>>43751785
Keep it DoW 2 style (I am not a fan of base building) but with more races and units. Take some inspiration from the Elite mod. Also, different campaigns for each race, not that Retirubution bullshit, I'm talking fully different stories for each one.
Also, the return of Sisters of Battle as an army choice.
>>43753445
I think do the DoW 2 style for it's campaign, but use the DoW 1 base building for proper pvp/pvai matches
>>43753445
What's this elite mod everyone talks about? What does it do? Does it change sp?
>>43753488
I don't know it sounds interesting as i play UA mod alot but its geared towards the tau.
Armies that function quite differently. Company of Heroes 2, even if they are DLC, has shown that Relic can do different styles of armies. Speaking of commander/chapter/craftworld/whatever choices that work independent of heroes, if they keep that system.
Units with more to say. Relic does damn good voice/sound work, but compared to Company of Heroes, units feel lacking in chatter. Have guardsman bitching about the quality of rations, chaos dudes praying, Orks being Orks.
A campaign that isn't Space Marine wank. A campaign that either focuses on a different army, the entirety of Dawn of War 2's story was focused on them, even in Retribution where you weren't playing as them. Guard would be the most likely (and disappointing) choice, but still better.
Let's make this an actual wishlist. Playable Sister/Admech. Honestly, doing these two instead of guard and space marines would be cool, never going to happen but cool.
What would be the best mod for dow1? I used to play fok back in the days and coop with my brother vs ai, so if there was a mod adding units/factions with working ai and balance not being a trainwreck we'd be happy to get on it
>>43753488
>>43753498
It's for DoW2. I tried using it but..it made sentinels invisable, though that's probably a problem on my end
>>43753697
The Ultimate Apocalypse mod is the amazing
>>43753822
I rather liked the smaller scale in dow though, is the apocalypse thing supported by bigger maps and the like at least? I can't imagine spamming titans and blobs through into the breach and maps like that
>>43753085
I forget its name but there's a mod for DOW that can do most of these things
Ground control, 40k edition.
>>43751785
Less of a focus on wars of attrition and resource gathering, more of a focus on movement orders, positioning, having the right soldiers for the job, et cetera.
Most RTS games are won mostly through resource micromanagement and just letting your dudes do the fun part of the game for you, and that's not fun for me.
>>43753944
>there will never be a flashpoint campaigns 40k mod
>>43753951
Don't make me sad anon.
>>43753966
Well I guess it's technically feasible actually, it's just that no one will ever work on it, I would have been content with the close combat 40k mod but it was pretty shit: braindead ai, broken pathfinding, tau make the game crash, space marines die like ig because no armor in the game, melee troops are almost useless because the game is not made to do that (they obviously duck when under fire instead of charging, and even if you get in melee the wonky melee combat system means that dedicated eldar melee units may lose against ig fairly reliably), plus balance is a trainwreck: eldar have basically half of their companies composed by melee units most of the time, and since they suck you are at a disadvantage. You could try using ambushes sometimes but some genius thought that shuriken catapults, your main source of firepower, has an effective range of 75 meters. ww2 smgs in vanilla have 100 ffs. In the end the only reliable unit you have is the three man team of dark reapers, but due to los you'll almost never be able to use them effectively.
Forgive the rant but the disappointment was too much to handle. It's a real pity, because the ig roster is great and fleshed out and the sound effects were cool.
>>43753085
Yeah I'm a pretty big CoH fan and would be excited if they did this. The biggest thing I want added to this is a higher model count than the CoH games. 40K has gargantuan battles and I'd like to see that a bit more the game. Biggest problem I can see in that is if you go too big than micro becomes stupidly hard to do.
>>43751785
Sisters as one of the original playable factions.
>>43754154
Yeh i usually just play IG and spam guard until baneblade.
I cannea micromanage well.
Wishlisting:
The ability to recruit or reject campaign characters, possibly branching the storyline (or not)
Greater focus on multiplayer mode
A way to mix certain factions in a plot-relevant way (like Imperial factions working together or Allies of Convenience)
Multiplayer mode should have highly customizable AI options, depending on the style of opponent desired.
Most of all: heavy support for modifications, and a system that's easy to modify.This is where I put all the creepy and disgusting things I want in the mods.
>>43754845
So like IG mixed with SM?
That makes sense cos i was annoyed at the campaign for making me wipe out the sisters and space marinesm
