>BASE BUILDING CONFIRMED

They didn't say anything about base building, they just said that larger unit sizes would return.

Also, base building =/= Wh40k Battles. Keep that shit in basic bitch RTS's like Starcraft 2 which is stagnating the RTS genre.

Not really. You didn't really build your base. Just upgrade energy points, set up some turrets and other stuff. And that was great.

Hopefully we get two per expansion and build up to soulstorm levels at least.

Elite system actually sounds like a nice compromise between people who wanted big huge battles and people that preferred small unit micro. Crank out the huge hordes of mooks to rumble, combined with fine control of a few special units that can have a big impact. Also looking forward to the return of base building.

Cautiously optimistic that DoW3 might actually be the best one yet, but I do want to see more gameplay in action first.

It does say three races for the campaign. Does not mean that there not other races in so I'll wait to see.

The only two things annoying me is the Space Marine proportion in the trailer at certain parts. Sometimes it looked great, other times, they looked too thin but it's a trailer.

The graphics need a touch too as it looks too bright in my opinion. Needs to be a bit darker to get that grimdarkness.

Overall, I'm hyped and happy with the direction the game is taking (basebuilding, large armies and some rpg mechanics from Dawn of War 2 sounds great).

To be honest although base building is popular it's not too great for streams nowadays. People seem to be focussed just on combat and lose interest if economy comes into it.
Probably why there are still people doing DoW2 replay coverages even now.

I can't afford to pre-order this or Total Warhammer, but I would. Instead, I'll hopefully have the cash to splash when they come out. I'm excited. Half classic, half modern, all shit art style but whatever. Space Marines look decent, everything else does not.

Exactly, that's what I'm expecting. We knew this game would get expansions and I hope they can release 2, maybe 3 (if lucky), factions per expansion.

I expect Sisters of Battle to be last as there is army is still not updated. I hope they are updated by then as it's unfair to have Sister players wait this long.

Chapter was made by them (with GW approval) for the original DoW game. They where so well done in both the games and the books, that GW made them an offical chapter and are no longer non canon. Hell, the books go past the set in stone timeline by a few years too. I know some other books do as well, but GW limits the FUCK out of any lore going past the locked in place date.

I would still play it but the colors and effects could really use some work. Hopefully it's all subject to change but it won't be the deciding factor of my purchase, that'll be gameplay.

Though I'll be pretty pissed if they skimp on the VA budget, DoW 1 and DoW 2 are fucking cherished for their VAs.

>>336373132
Definitely not in the base game. Chaos and/or Necrons are the only other races we'll see until expansions and DLC. I'm betting Necrons, the tone of the trailer and the premise that everyone is converging on this particular planet to find an ancient weapon make that pretty apparent.

Do you by any chance remember the DoW 2 (pre-)alpha screenshots? Looked loads better than this.

I'm getting a strong vibe this is going to be more like DoW 1 and less like what I was expecting it to be, some kind of step-up from DoW 2.

Do you guys think Sega gave Relic a decent budget for this game?

I hope the voice acting is spot on.
>>
Good trailer, but the game looks and sounds bad. DoW 1 was cancer, base building needed to go, and now the graphics look terrible. 2 nailed it, all they needed to do was expand and improve on that. It looks all cartoony and the gameplay sounds dumbed down as fuck to pander to kiddies who thought 2 was too hard and cried about MUH BASE BUILDING AND UNIT SPAM.
>>
>>336373817
>>336373817
Honestly I think both DoW 1 and DoW 2 are great games. Loved DoW 1 base building, units and races. On the other hand DoW 2 had great heroes and cover system. Hope they will take the best out of them and somehow merge them into one great game.

That's because Eldar are one among the 3 most iconic factions of 40k, along with Space Marines and Orks.
If you think any other faction surpasses these 3 in terms of how iconic to the setting they are, you are a fucking moron.
>>
>>336374251
I don't know, those graphics are a huge step down from DoW 2 and CoH 2, has me worried about how much money they had to work with. I expect that at least Gabriel Angelos' voice actor will be the same though.

The trailer itself was good. It actually captured a bit of the scale I expect from 40K. Corpses literally raining form the sky. Now I'll be disappointed if they only do three races at the start again, particularly given their vanilla choices.

Chaos is probably more integral to the overall setting but feels samey compared to space marines.

DoW 1 is still one of the most unique rts for completely side-stepping the Starcraft and the Warcraft models of combat and economy.

Chaos are just spiky marines (who are not as iconic as the regular ones) and deamons (even less iconic), in comparison to Orks, Spesh Muhreens and Eldar.

This to be honest, I don't understand the appeal of base building in a DoW game. I enjoyed DoW 2 way more than the orignal. The art direction was also a major improvement in my opinion.

If they had an updated and scaled up version along with some changes to race, call-ins and whatnot it would have been perfect (for me, a lot of people like the base building it seems).

No, they're boring and bring literally nothing to the table beyond WAAAAAAGGGGHHHH and goofy voices. There's nothing you can do with them narrative wise beyond that, it's not interesting. They are essentially non-characters that exist only to be fought and killed. I fully expect them to fill the roll they've filled in every single one of these games so far, which is to say you start out fighting them until Chaos/Tyranids/Necrons show up and become the bigger threat.
>>
>>336375243

Yes, because death is a truly unique them. Also, that Czevak quote comes from the Conclave of Har, an event that predated Crons inclusion in the game. It's a general 'shit's fucked yo' quote.
>>
>>336375643
Mostly because the RTS bits with timings and multiple production ques were better with building.

DoW2 took them out which was fine, though it forgot to replace it with something else. As a result, most agree that DoW2 was less of an RTS game.
