Its going to be shit, isn't it?

>tfw IG is called Astra Militarum in the new game
Spread the word brothas
Here hoping it's closer to II than II. I need my massive battles and an actual base. Green tide will consume all.
>>336239507
Dow 2 did some things right but Dow 1 did other things better.
A combination of both would be the best.
>>336239507
It's going to have MOBA elements.
pls for the love of Big E have necrons in it
>>336239623
Dark Nexus is already a thing
>>336239507
Yeah maybe a more modern engine could let us have huge armies that DON'T all get stuck behind one giant tank in a clusterfuck of awful pathfinding
Can't get hyped after DoW2 shit show, or Company of Heroes 2 boring lecture.
Been playing BFGA and realized the Relic just lost the passion around W40k. Tindalos are literally WHOs and are much more fans than anyone in the undead Relic team. The voices, ambience and story is spot on. DoW2 was so uninspired you can literally forget about it being in the 40k universe.
>>336239678
Not any more. It died in beta.
>>336239638
No thanks, it's just going to be shitty wacky space egyptians aka newcrons.
>>336239906
That kinda sucks. I didn't have much hope for it, but would still try it out.
>>336238472
It better fucking be a sequel to DoW1 and not 2.
Fuck 2.
Here's to hoping for a fun Chaos faction and not just boring undivided.
Make it DoW I with hero units similar to WC3
If it's a moba I'm going to fucking kill myself
>>336239849
Hyperbole much?
>2016
>Deathwing and now Dawn of War 3
what a time to be alive
IT'S GOING TO BE GLORIOUS
BASEBUILDING SHITTERS CAN GET FUCKED, IT WAS AWFUL IN DOW1. WE'RE NOT GETTING DOW1-II
HAHAHAHAHAHA
My only fear is this will be "DLC the Game".
You want that golden paudron? That'll be 5,99 + tip.
>>336240307
BASED EMPEROR'S CHILDREN
If they have base building, great. If not I won't bother. I find it boring without.
>>336238472
If the pop cap and squad size is small there is no hope of it being good.
>DoW3 will never be a story driven squad based action-RPG starting First Claw.
Why live?
>>336240307
>>336240420
Personally I enjoyed the move from base-building, liked being able to focus on the units and the fight for resources, and the few heroes able to build shit shone in their defensive roles all the better
I can't wait for all of the DoW1 fanboy tears when it's announced it won't have the shitty, half-assed basebuilding of the original or awful giant squads like 10 Rangers running around with long rifles with no micro whatsoever
>>336240630
Guarding nodes was very tedious.
>>336240218
I wish it was an hyperbole, but DoW2 and CoH2 truly, absolutely are the worst possible scenario and the anti hype showcase of the media. Maybe you don't remember the hype around DoW1 and how those threads went. W40k is a thing because DoW1 incredible voice acting and positioned Relic higher than HW1 ever did.
After CoH dude died and the economic crisis hit them, they got rid of their talent and DoW2 was shat out. It is not a bad game though, just extremely repetitive and mediocre and not really that fun.
>BUT THAT CUOLD BE SAID OF AAL GAEEMS
There was no hype around DoW2 after the beta and demo. It killed the Warhammer hype.
Do you even realize what kind of shit showcase it has to be to kill /tg/ w40k hype? ITS A TITANIC LABOUR OF SHIT./tg/ threads died for months.
That's some chaos shit right there.
>>336240679
So go attack more nodes instead
When DoW 2 I didn't have a proper pc to run it so I fell into the temptation to watch EVERY single lets play video on youtube.
>mfw I will play dow 3 in it's full glory on release date.
>>336240668
I don't care too much about basebuilding or no basebuilding but the multiplayer in DoW2 was a fucking awful merry-go-around.
>>336240630
>able to focus on the units and the fight for resources
Except you wouldnt focus on units at all. 99% of your time was clicking on one squad and clicking on a resource node
You were lucky if you could ever get a fight.
You know what would be cool? Having a normal DOW I style mode, and having a last stand dowII mode
>>336240724
I liked the singleplayer. It felt like a true spess muhreen experience. And the Orkz campaign in Retribution was the funniest shit ever. Also, The Last Stand was great.
Multiplayer sucked balls, though.
>>336240967
Nonsense, you could clearly see when the enemy was making a move on your territory and send your own shit to fight them
And you'd definitely have to fight for the Victory Points
The maps were big, but not big enough you could avoid each other for long
DoW should either be base building with a handful of defendable resource points or no resource points at all
DoW2 was a total abomination in skirmish/MP. Would have been infinitely better if everyone just got X amount of resources over time equally.
>>336240927
fucking this, it's made for 3v3 and it still is fucking shit even t hen
>>336241124
I played DoW2 enough to know what im talking about. It was nothing but resource node hopping the entire time with hardly any fights. Thats just a fact.
>>336241139
Honestly, the lack of ways to defend your resource points was what killed DoW2 multiplayer.
>>336238472
Does this mean they'll stop updating coh 2?
Don't mind me, just throwing this in here.
>>336241246
The maps were poorly designed as well. Every node was made so it could always be flanked no matter what making defending impossible. If you did try to defend a point you would be wasting a massive amount of your limited resources and pop trying to get 360 degrees of cover.
>>336241338
No, they will still shit out expensive DLC commanders.
>>336241246
>>336241139
THE EXACT REASON THEY DID THIS WAS BECAUSE OF FAGGOTS LIKE YOU, RTS ARE NOT ALWAYS TURTLE UNTIL THE OPPONENT TRIES TO ATTACK YOUR DEFENSES THEN COUNTER ATTACK.
PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT LACK OF BASE-BUILDING SHOULD JUST PLAY ANOTHER GAME.
DO YOU SEE BASES IN THE TABLETOP GAME? DOW2 WAS SUCCESSFUL AT BEING A SKIRMISH GAME AND ANYONE WHO CANT SEE THAT IT WAS 10X MORE FUN THAN 1 SHOULD FUCK OFF.
>>336241359
that's why skirmishes fucking sucked, but gotta say the campaign and last stand were pretty fun.
>>336241236
Well then I don't know what to say, I racked up near a thousand hours across the three instalments and I saw plenty of fighting in my time
>>336241359
Knew it was only a matter of time before this popped up. Yes, the skirmish AI was crap. Ho hum.
>>336240307
>Emperor's Children
>looks more like Black Legionnaire
>>336241509
>Yes, the skirmish AI was crap. Ho hum.
And DoW1 AI wasnt crap. Ho hum DoW2 is shit.
>>336241645
What did the first game's AI need to do? Crap out a huge army and attack+move it towards your half of the map
>>336241338
Nah, DoW always was CoH for casuals.
>>336241123
That's the thing. The game design isn't very fun. It wasn't not even inspired. In fact, when the beta came out, it was CERTAIN that the devs didn't even played it themselves because it was the so called merry go round.
IT's not about the basebuilding. The game at its core was BADLY DESIGNED. You have this outposts but oyu can't build defenses around them. This as little as it looks, forced a tug of war that got tiring very fast. It was push and retreat or push somewhere else and retreat. This done for eternity. Also very slowly.
The supressing numbers, damage and balance was a mess. And in release, the tanks didn't even left a carcass in the battlefield. I mean the game already has little options to be made as a player, and something that is on Company of Heroes as a simple but very important mechanic wasn't even there on release. Retribution fixed a lot of thing too late, but at its base, it's still the merry go round instead of the zealous carnage that DoW1 was.
It's just NOT FUN. It's barebones of a game at its CORE. Builds are generic and half of them are kinda useless since the metagame is so simple.
But what i personally disliked is how the graphics and explosions are somehow worse than Company of Heroes 1. That's some achievement. Voice acting is good but dialogues are spess muhring generic and not REDEEM THEM WITH SWORD AND FIRE, RIP THEIR THROUGHT ASUNDEEAAARRGGHHH kind of voice acting.
CoH2 is a better game at gameplay but still has these flaws.
Im sad now.
>one or more of the main races will likely be left out
calling it now, either necrons, tyranids, or tau won't be in the game
>>336238472
OH YES!
BY THE EMPEROR, I'M READY FOR THIS!!
My Wishlist:
- A bit of Basebuilding
- Higher unit cap then DOW2
- Not the ol' Space Marines, Chaos, Orks and Eldar combo.
- Ok, fine. The old combo is ok, but give me a decent roster of Aspect Warriors then!
Anti-basebuilders need to LEAVE this thread right now.
In the name of the Emperor we shall build.
WHO SPESS ELVES HERE?
>>336241872
Tau and Necrons can always wait. These games always have some of the more centric factions in the first instalment.
>>336241716
Which makes it infinitely better than DoW2
>>336241840
Actually you can make some defense as IG, but doing so will make the enemy just fuck your ass somewhere else, so it's pointless
>>336241872
No shit.
>>336242030
Not to mention it takes too long and the turrets cone of fire is worthless
post yfw grenade launchers and basilisks
>mfw
>>336241909
the basebuilding was pretty braindead in dow1, you legit just plant buildings and build listening posts.
>>336239175
GW changed it to so theyยดd have a name to place a trademark or copyright or whatever on, instead of just the generic Ipmerial guard (which the manual still use but just as a "colloquial" name) Plus it fits with the faux-Latin High Gothic name that other orgnazations get, like marines are Adeptus astrates and the bureaucracy is Adepus adminstratum.
The name Astra Militarum is in use since the newest edition that came out in 2014 and BFG used it too.
>>336242030
EXACTLY. Even if you stand in the points and wait for the enemy, you can just flip the enemy player and go somewhere else, since the unit cap is low as 2 or 3 squads. Not only this still forces the merry go round, but encourages to NOT FUCKING ENGAGE THE ENEMY.
GRASP THE CONCEPT OF A WARHAMMER 40K GAME WHERE YOU DON'T FIGHT THE ENEMY
IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE TO NOT ENGAGE UNTIL CERTAIN VICTORY BY -HEAR THIS - ROUTING THE ENEMY INTO RETREAT
YES, YOU CAN'T KILL THEM MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE DAMAGE IS FUCKED UP AND THE RETREAT BUTTON IS AN OUT OF JAIL CARD
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK
LAST STAND CONFIRMED
post yfw playing a 1v1 skirmish in retribution as ig against chaos
>>336238749
Both DoW games were good, so if the same devs are involved I don't see how it could be bad.
>>336238472
Please let this be an actual game and not another DLC
>>336242007
I just enjoyed DOW2's strategy more. Suppression, retreat, jump troops, concussions, slows, fire arcs, snipers, grenades, vehicles and anti-tank, flamers and garrisons, all the different heroes with their own range of game-changing equipment.
When you fully wiped out a unit in DOW2, it was a much greater impact than in the first. you had to pick and choose your units and upgrades carefully, because you couldn't afford or support some of everything
>>336242481
IF you gain th eupper hand by forcing your enemy to pull back, then that IS incentive to fight.
Retreat wasn't something you did casually, it put a unit out of action for some time.
I hope the damage is high as in CoH1 where a bad move could get your soldiers gibbed instead the damage sponges of DoW2 with a retreat button if anything barely goes wrong.
Please bring back base-building.
I actually enjoyed DOW II but it felt like half a game. I hope Not only base building comes back, but the customization that DOW II brought.
>>336242631
New Relic is like the new Blizzard
It has the same name but none of the original devs but millenials are in there.
So yes it's going to be a MOBA Last Stand thing.
If this another bullshit DoW2 DLC i swear to the emperor i'm gonna end your fucking bloodline
>>336242697
DOW2 units were plenty fragile and could easily be gibbed even early if you weren't paying attention and your enemy used the right stuff. Well placed grenades and artillery units could devastate units in one go.
>>336242406
Listening posts alone would be a godsend.
Being able to have resource points fend for themselves for a short while would have benefited DoW2 a lot.
>>336242570
>grenade launchers

You mean as in Starcraft? Because Starcraft minus base building is literally DoWII aka, the "we want the esports audience" half-rts.
You have to one huge autist to be hyped for another cookie clicker half-rts.
>>336246826
hey now, I liked DoW1 and 2, although I liked 2's combined arms approach better.
plus I would follow Lord Commissar bern into the eye of terror.

I liked DoW 1's base building and management, but 2's unit/squad control was much more fun (i miss being able to have a bunch of different weapons on the same squad though), and the hero units were way more fun to use.

>>336248757
They probably won't do that despite how fun it is.
>>336249879
It's fun when it has a meaningful impact on gameplay and provides a strategic layer to consider that makes the gameplay more in-depth, i.e. none of what the basebuilding did in DoW1
I hope they make it a MoW clone instead of a CoH clone

Get rid of base building, but give the players access to emplacements and listening posts.

Truly, a new Golden Age of Warhammer vidya is upon us. Praise be unto the new GW CEO, may his reign be long and profits huge!
So, who Armageddon here?Or am I the only faggot who play wargames?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>336256697
Eisenhorn will be shit though
>people actually WANT pointless base and resource management back in a FUCKING WARHAMMER FORTY THOUSAND GAME
How does it feel to be a stupid fun hating faggot? Do you shits actually play Starcraft 2?
>>336256697
Next they will announce space marine 2
>>336238472
I don't care what armies they give (hoping AdMech will be in or in a future expansion), but three things:
1. DoW II's RPG elements for main campaign characters
2. Even better graphics than DoW II
3. Larger scale than the first DoW
>mfw Relic doesn't pander to nostalgiafags
Okay, the real question will be...
What factions are in? Muhreens and Astra are a given, so are Eldar and Chaos but maybe Tyranids and Tau? Are the Deldar gonna join the party too or nah? Maybe we can finally get the Adeptus Mechanicus in all of its glory, fucking shit up for the Omnisiah
Post yfw its actually a MOBA
>yfw playabletitanlegion
>>336256960
yes lets make a RTS game without fucking resource management
>>336257105
Titan legions.
All I want is more unit variety, with some things taken from the first Dawn of War and the second, along with bigger maps. thats it
Sure, but what Factions are going to get in?
Here I'm hoping they start with these:
>Space Marines for strong individual units, survivability and high overall statistics, at the cost of numbers.
>Eldar: For a more tactical, speedy approach and lotsa hard counters, but not very survivable if they get outwit.
>Orks: For gigantic numbers, great melee and lotsa unique combat skills, as long as you don't mind a little random.
>Villain faction: The Orks and Eldar are more or less working second fiddles to this big bad motherfucker. Probably Chaos, but could be Tyranids too, or Necrons.
Who do you want to see?
>>336256884
It's pretty fucking good if you like the setting.
>>336257184
You don't need to manage anything in a strategy game. You just need that, strategy, management is retarded filler to play a waiting game and turns RTS into resource and hotkey races.
>yfw it's just another last stand dlc
>>336256736
I'll be honest - I need to see the aftermath of things. I need fields of corpses and smouldering ruins. I'm the kind of person who plays Total War and enjoys panning over the map after a battle.
If there was a grand strategy and/or Civilization game that had both true to life unit scale and persistent corpses with collateral damage I would probably play it non-stop. I NEED to see the ruin I inflict.
>yfw it will be literally Supreme Commander but with 40k skin
I can't wait. Rapid-firing retard-huge cannons into a seething tyranid mass from several titans. Oh-ho yeah

1 no
2. fine but not necessary for a strategy game
3. Lets have it play like SupCom or Wargame
>>336257151
>there will never be a 40k mech game

>>336239175
plz no
I'd mod the shit out of the game to return it to its Imperial Guard glory!

Guys, if it's called Dawn of War, it's for a reason.
>>336256124
Cool
So we know that yet another CoH-Ripoff doesn't fit the 40k universe - and neither will another 40k MOBA game.
But how would you go on about a truly large scale 40k game mechanics wise?
Total War System doesn't apply because units are completely different organized in 40k.
Neither does a Supreme-Commander kind of game.
What is the way out?
>>336257318
Personally I wish DoW2 had changed the resource system so every player gained a fix amount of Req points every minute. Let everyone fight for victory points instead. Let there be a constant war.
>>336257510
There already is a mech game but it's mobileshit.
>>336257318
yeah lets just get troops for free
and who needs to wait to make troops just start with them all
and who needs to choose troops that's just boring management stopping you from the ACTION just give each player all the units
and who needs map control just make the armies smash into each other
>first Battlefleet Gothic
>then Total Warhammer
>now Dawn of War 3
What a glorious year to enjoy these things.
>>336257318
I somewhat agree, but Base Management offers a lot more than that, you gotta admit.
Resource denial, tech tree countering, positioning and what not offers a lot of depth that games without them lack a bit.
And that's the thing, is that games with bigger and more RTS elements can also offer the same level of tactical aquity as purely tactical games. The only difference is that greater skill is required to pull off.
>yfw this music start playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dy833gGJPg
>>336257587
My only requirement is that the game has no unit production during battles.
>It's going to be a rehash of DoW 2 but with more MOBA elements
I was okay with DoW 2 but I want my bases back.
>>336257105
>Astra
baby, why you gotta say that out loud?
>>336257510
>that image
Man, get rid of the ammo system and Wargame would be perfect for 40k.
Holy shit it would be fucking awesome.
>>336257587
>So we know that yet another CoH-Ripoff doesn't fit the 40k universe
speak for yourself faggot
>>336256086
Bigger maps allow for some cool battles. On smaller ones, yeah, it's a clusterfuck.
There's a fuckton of settings, and some allow restrictions of higher tiers, and let you build only basic infantry/vehicles. Too bad no one in multiplayer ever uses them, everyone just want to turtle for 40 minutes, then die to nukes.
>>336247872
I don't understand why people liked the King of the hill mode in dawn of war 2, it feels way better to destroy enemy bases to me.
>>336257832

>>336257831
Don't like managing ammo and fuel?
Why?
>>336256960
>Wanting a Real Time Strategy game to lose most of its strategy and complexity with tech trees, general building placement and fucking resources for the sake of "Lets just move these fuckers around"ยด
Absolutely no bases sucks ass, because you lose a major objective and focus, to annihilate the shit out of the opponents structures and such.
Who says the Muhreens wouldn't have a base set up on some remote planet for scout training and recruiting that is reused for the sake of orbital teleportation, who says the Eldar aren't sneaky fucks and have webway portals on the high lords broomcloset, who says the Necrons couldn't have had their shit burried underneath the surface, Astra use buildings too, Orkz like to have bases and build given the Mekboyz, plus they have to acomodaste their fungal growth for new recruits, I believe tyranids also need to build soem sort of hive to incubate their spawn.
It all makes sense, you are just baiting. Still, its worth to prove even bait wrong.

>>336257510
Oh nigga what have you done. I want that so badly.
>>336257930
I want to focus entirely on battles and combat and unit placement. Ammo is usually just a management thing you need to keep track of. It's why I like DoW2 generally more than the first game, because it skipped base building and allowed me to focus entirely on the game.
