GREEN IZ BEST
Fucking finally.
>>336238472
Its going to be shit, isn't it?
>>336238749
Going to be a new last stand character.
>>336238472
muh dick
>It's another dawn of war 2 DLC
>>336238472
DOW SITE TOO

>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 they´d 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
>commander with big fucking flamethrower
>sending all the fucking guradsmen to take one marine squad down

>>336241909
Basebuilding doesn't fit 40k at all unless you're playing IG.
>>336243016
It fit DoW 1 just fine
>>336243016
It was fun in DoW I.

>>336238472
I hope IG will have all their tanks, and for Dark Eldar to be back for DoW3 with their respective skimmers. I want to recreate the horrors of the rematch I gave my DEldar friend when I made a scumbag list bringing Punisher Pask, Executioners, Melta Vets and Wyverns.
>>336244417

?
>>336244417
DE is a pretty niche faction, though. Don't expect them until they run out of other races.

>coh2 and DoW2 didn't have atmosphere
>>336241909
Fuck you and fuck base building.
Back to point based battels like in tt.
Focus on obj rather then resurces or resurces.
Keep the codex of each army as the apsulut.
No 10 heavy bolter units becouse balance.

Someone dissect this image.
>>336245628
I really wish that the DoW2 campaign had more missions in the Space Hulk.
That was some rad shit.
>>336241338
they are still balancing it. They outsourced it to based Miragefla, so expect balance soon.
>>336241949
SMUGGEST BASTARDS ALIVE
REPRESENT
>>336245796
My guess is that they got interns to update DoW2 and learn shit, interns + some vets to keep CoH2 rollin' and the rest are working on DoW3.
>>336244885
well they were led by Papa smurf.
>>336245895
I am happy that they let the CoH2 community get in more directly in the balancing process

Imagine being such a retard that you call any strategy game that doesn't have basebuilding a MOBA. DoW1 fanboys in a nutshell
>>336245690
Looks tyranid, I hope they are not doing the Chaos Rising thing where they revealed small parts over time
>>336246814
>go back to watching koreans mashing their keyboards
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.
>>336246965
no, starcraft is literally about throwing your units and outfarming the other guy's resources. The combat is not as complex as dawn of war 2.

You're embarrassing yourself hard with all these buzzwords and clear lack of understanding, anon. Consider leaving the thread

>>336246965
>taking the added effort used in making one mechanic and putting it into another mechanic to make it better and much more refined
>this somehow makes the game a half-rts
How can you be this fucking stupid?
>>336246968
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.

Not a MOBA though. More like a twin stick shooter without the sticks.
>>336247872
>tfw love ultras and sexy space elves
I can purge to this.
>>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
>>336239175
>DoW 3 might have the AdMech armies
It is a worthy trade off in my opinion
IT MUST GO MORE IN THE TOTAL WAR DIRECTION WITH ELEMENTS OF SUPREME COMMANDER ADMIXED I NEED MY TRULY EPIC BATTLES NOT COMPANY OF HEROES LIGHT: 40K
PRAISE THE EMPORER
>>336251359

>>336247872
>Orks all talk like they did in Space Marine
Honestly, I have no idea what the fuck was going on with Relic that they forgot how to do Ork voice work from one game to the next.
>>336251420
why? ;_;
>>336251359
I bet you're one of those fags who shitpost in Total Warhammer threads about how the game should've been WH40K instead.
>>336251586
I actually am :3
>>336251536
because Total war is all about soldiers in formation fighting battles.
Warhammer really doesn't have that.
>inb4 chaos is preorder dlc

>>336252835
Didn't they made the chaos faction free for everyone recently?
>>336252976

>>336252976

>>336255152

Ditch Napoleon and get Empire instead. It's much better now that it's patched and has great mods too.
Fucking Napoleon > Empire meme is outdated as fuck. Napoleon Total War is a snoozefest where you have the same old af green map, play the same old 4 factions with the same fucking units in every faction. There's no diversification anywhere. You'll get bored of it in 3 hours.
>>336241236
Are you fucking high or just bad? Even in low level play fights break out after the first points were captured. It is like you didn't even play the fucking game.

>>336255996
He also need them to summon Bloodletters.
>>336239507
Why not combine them both?
Get rid of base building, but give the players access to emplacements and listening posts.
Let players focus on macromanagement instead of micro. Make squads cheaper and more numerous. Keep the global abilities and commanders from DoW2.
It would be fucking glorious.
>>336256124
OOOOHHHH

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

>>336257396
>>336257362
>>336257149
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

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.
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.

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.

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.
>>336257884
No, faggots like you that don't even know what they want are the cancer.
>>336257587
I liked how DoW I cheated and essentially divided a single unit into a bunch of little pieces, that all fought as one but made it look like 10 guys fought 10 other guys when it really was 1 unit vs 1 unit.
Kind of like that, just make the units bigger, on top of increasing the number of units you can field.
>>336256124

Fucking enough already.
No Chaos, no Tyranids, no Necrons.
Space Marines, Eldar, Orks, and Tau.
Orks are the real threat. They start out on even terms with the rest, but then a huge Rokk or two show up and swing things their way.
>>336258395
Nice
>>336258556
How do I enjoy Wargame?
I tried the EE campaign and just ran tanks at the enemy until I won for the first few missions.
Then there is a mission where you have to split your forces between two objectives and I just ran out of reinforcement points/all my supply ran out for my tanks/logistics trucks.
>>336259252

TONS of content, however its a complete and utter mess, only use if you're into nukes that takes 50 minutes to attain.

Not much new content but probably the most lore friendly if you are into that, very polished and lots of variety for the Imperium and Chaos classes, but not much for the rest.
>TITANIUM WARS
Almost as much content as Ultimate Apocalypse, but far more quality, only thing UA has over it is dedicated Chaos Daemons faction and the ability to use Nukes. But TW is superior in every other way. Only problem is that you will have to search through some Russian websites to find it, as its been taken down from Moddb.
>>336259252
If this had basebuilding or Wargames deck system (with the control zones like in EE Conquest not RD)
Either or is good for me
A larger-scale, less complicated Wargame would be pretty much ideal.
Don't worry chaps.

If they're going to do 4 races in the base game Spess Mareens, Eldar and Orks are a given and the fourth "antagonist" faction will most likely be Necrons, that necron lord dlc for DOW 2 might've been an obvious enough hint
>>336259571
This is starting to actually look good.
Now, how will they fuck it up?
>>336259547
Wargame was really simple. What would be removed?
>>336259409
Only problem is that orks are, quite frankly, boring from an RTS plot standpoint. There would just be banter between Imperium and the Nobz who just throw shit, which is fun, but it offers no interesting plot points. 40k is fun because you get internal corruption with chaos and plot twists with that kind of thing.
Orks just serve to say "here's bad guy, he's gonna kill you, also Waagh!!!" They are dramatic and can be cool given the right circumstances, just as a threat to mankind, but there's no Dark Gods or Swarm Hivemind behind them.

Against players it made more sense and you could see how it worked. As a wargame goes it was actually simple to play after about 3 hours of having no fucking clue
>>336259897
I'm guessing you didn't like DoW 2 at launch
>>336259782
>but it offers no interesting plot points.
The interesting plot point is, "Oh shit, these guys we thought were not enough of a problem to stop trying to kill each other at the same turn now have us on the ropes!".
It is functionally no different than "Oh shit, this thing we didn't know about that would stop us from killing each other suddenly has us against the ropes!".
>>336259719
Based on this post >>336259571, Tyranids are in so you're already wrong. I doubt they'd do the same as DoW 2 and only have Space Marines, Eldar, Orks, and Tyranids to start without at least adding Chaos to the mix. I really want Necrons, but if there's only 4 or 5 in the base game, they'd be relegated to an expansion.

Let's be honest with ourselves: GW would never fork out the money to do this right.
>>336261218
Its an odd faction, its basically the Inquisition mixed the Imperial Guard, but at the end of the main tree you can choose to go full Inquisition (lets you summon Grey Knights, Battle Sisters, Throne of Judgement, etc) or become a traitor and side with Chaos, Tau or Eldar to summon units of theirs.
Also to increase your squad cap you need to summon civilians and put them in buildings.
>>336261297

But there is already a game like that, anon.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/373920/
What would it take to surprise you, really? In a positive and maybe a slightly negative way.
We all know this thing will have Orks, Space Marines, and Eldar by law. It's been that way since the beginning of Warhammer.
But what if they change it in a way that's entirely unexpected?
I would be surprised, for instance, if:
>Game starts with 6 factions.
>Imperial Guard.
>Space Marines.
>Tau.
>Tyranids.
>Eldar.
>It stars an Imperial Guard slash PDF faction that's been on a losing battle against Tau Forces for a very long time, and the Imperium doesn't care.
>That's when the Tyranids decide to attack.
>Bad shit comes to worst, and your Regiment becomes forced to work with Xeno scum Tau and Eldar in order to survive the onslaught.
>You hold out long enough to create a rapport with Eldar and Tau Forces, and survive until Space Marines and more Regiments arrive.
>And now the Space Marines and Regiments want you dead for commuting with Xenos.
>And that's when the Eldar back stab you, betraying you such that the Tau end up taking the brunt of it and dying in their entirety.
>Rest of the game is spent barely trying to survive being hunted amidst a 3 way war, with nowhere to go but the darkest reaches of the planet.
>That's when your troops start hearing the voices.
>You join the Chaos Daemons eventually, and take the war against everyone else as a Khornate Regiment.
>Chaos faction unlocked.
>Lost and the Damned Imperial Guard customization options Unlocked.

>>336261101
It will be expanded with random events and team work with other Inquisitors.
>>336261509
Mass Effect style would also fit. Or with the option to switch between the two how you see it fitting.
>>336261581
You bet they would. For Cyberpunk 2077 they had none less than the fucking creator of the Cyberpunk world as their advisor.
CD RED are the saviours of gaming.
>>336259571
What sort of campaign style would work best? Maybe a system similar to Battlefleet Gothic.
Management of a system, gradually being overwhelmed, or facing the impending threat, of a hive fleet?
This way you could deploy units, from your fleet, using a set amount of points.
Although you could incoperate upgrades to ships, in terms of armory/units available, I do enjoy bade building to some degree.

>>336261850
Did you play Dark crusade/dow2?
Like that but made better.
>>336261457
Very odd and not particulary lore accurate since the only weapon the Administratum has is "remember that shipment of food/weapon/ammunition/whatever that should come next week? Forget about that, it "mysteriously" got lost in the warp."
That and covering you in redtape.
And because of that they are feared despite having no army.
>>336261931
They didn't. They hired a shit tier company to make it FOR them. It flopped so fucking hard as well. GW don't pay people to make games, they get paid to use the license.

WE MARCH TO THE HYMNS OF THE ECCLESIARCHY
>>336262124
I'm currently reading reading the Ravenor-Omnibus again.
It's dime-novel-tier, but hey, 40k.
>>336261929
It's based on a popular crime novel set in the warhammer universe, anon.
Extremely indie.
>>336261696
Developers don't have cash. It's either a publisher or GW paying them.
So, who wants to play some 40k vidya in the meantime?
I'll be hosting DoW2 (vanilla) 3v3's. Name: vidya
>>336262009
Yep, just theorizing how they could expand, on the systems used previously/ merge them.
I hope this isn't a god damn ruse.
Imagine some bastard child tablet game...

Last year and got top 50 1v1 with all factions, it's a fucking terrible game, riddled with RNGs, game breaking bugs, performance issues (doesn't even support sli/crossfire or multi-monitors), abuse of DLCs (all the multiplayer content and ONLY the multiplayer content that actually influences the multiplayer balance put together costs more than 150€), the campaign was the most boring I've ever played in an RTS as well, didn't even think about getting AA or any of the extra theaters
>>336262124
>>336262230
I've heard of the books, I meant the game. There's no way it's releasing this month.
>>336262227
Ravenor was way worse than Eisenhorn, not that Eisenhorn was perfect but when Abnett was writing it he at least still remembered what the tone of 40k Imperium writing should typically be.
>>336262524
this game needs a Space Marine Chapter Master who just founded his Chapter voiced by Mark Strong
If there's another DoW, I just want it to have different missions for each faction. Retribution ended up being more of a chore more than anything else by the final mission.
>>336262671
Still need to get hold of a copy of Eisenhorn. Ravenor was alright
>>336262671
Have you read the Inquisitor trilogy?
That's how a 40k-novel should feel.
>>336262515
It's unlikely that it will be smartphone/tablet shit from relic, they just don't make these kind of games, but I'm worried it might be some other bullshit DLC for DoW2.
In any case a multiplayer (vs) campaign would be great.
>>336256190
This is the only correct image
>>336262402
game full; I'll announce when next match is up
>>336262654
If its terrible why did you play it so much?
>>336262786
I hope you mean the Ian Watson trilogy.

All these good warhammer games
only the emperor revaling himself to the world can top this off
>>336263058
He already walks among us.
>>336262791
Good point.
I wonder how long they have been working on it.
Didn't think of a multiplayer vs campaign, interesting concept though, I like it.
>>336263028
I obviously am.
>>336262903
Because I analyze the games properly before judging them.
>>336263547
Uh huh, im sure anon.

>>336263325
Good.Though I think he forgot what the fuck he was writing about by the time he got to Chaos Child.
"AND THEN CHAOS INVADED ULTHWE AND I GUESS SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ZEPHRO AND THEN MEH'LINDI CAME BACK TO LIFE AND WENT CRAZY AND THEN DRACO DIED WHATEVER OH SHIT FIRENZE AND THE HYDRA CONSPIRACY WAS A THING WASN'T IT OH WELL IT'S NOT LIKE GW ARE GOING TO GIVE ME ANOTHER JOB AFTER THIS ANYWAY"

>>336264025
I wouldn't mind him looking like shit, he was like 31 millennia old. Then he got pwnd.
I've always said this. Dawn of War 3 should be:
1. Dawn of War 1 base building.
2. Dawn of War 1 Risk Strat Map
3. Dawn of War 2 Heroes (so multiple for each faction like DoW2 Retribution)
4. Dawn of War 2 levelling system
5. Dawn of War 2 skill system
6. Dawn of War 2 loot system
On the risk map, every hero is a 'piece'. You move them to different areas to initiate a battle or to capture the area and build defences. This means you can either combine your heroes into one province to give you a better chance of winning the fight, or you spread thin in order to capture many areas to boost income.
Each hero levels up and has loot. Each map grants a loot chest with some random gear in it, if you win, you get more/rarer quality. You can complete side objectives like capturing key points to gain more at the end.
Make the provinces have a purpose, make them give boosts to troops stats, hero stats, productions, or increase chances of getting better/more loot. Perhaps make one which produces an item a turn, meaning those who hold it can boost their XP or improve their warriors.
Make the 'skills' for each hero deeper. Alongside the old DoW2 skill areas, add 'governor' skills, which boost production and shit on the risk map, or increase how quickly buildings are built in the combat map.
Then give them general/leadership stuff which boosts surrounding troops.
Then give them the DPS stuff, which then splits into the old DoW2 stuff.
So you can make pieces govern specific areas to get better performance. Make them good for leading troops. Or make them murder machines.
Ta-da.

Even fan art agrees that Tommy Wiseau is the Emperor.
>>336264558
This.
I'd love to play such a DoW game.
Chances Space Marine gets under the Dawn of War name?
Does anybody even know where the rights to that ended?
>>336264924
Duh. Both DoWs were actually fun in their own ways, but combining both and adding some extra stuff that makes the gameplay even more enjoyable...
You did it right anon.
>>336238472
FUCKING FINNALY.
PRAISE THE EMPEROR
>>336264739
Look at the emperor's right arm, he's like "Check my dubs".
>>336265207
And pass the ammo.
>>336259458
>huge armies dont belong
>imperial guard
>orks
>nids
>>336265138
I enjoyed DoW2 simply cause making murder machines was fun. Plus the DPS took into account if you needed to reload or not. I got this at Lv.23 then quit (I struggled to fail optional missions on purpose and it was too much effort to make Avitus the bady).
We can dream anon.. Maybe DoW4....
>>336265072
Unlikely they will ever make another Space Marine game, they already reveled what they would've done in game 2 & 3, also IIRC it wasn't relic alone that made it, but they made it in collaboration with the darksiders guys, who didn't get bought by SEGA, if I'm not mistaken.
>>336265594
Maybe an expansion will do this?
Who knows? We'll have to see first on 3rd.
I really hope it's an open ended campaign like DOW 2/dark crusade and soulstorm/battle fleet gothic and not like retribution where it's just a string of scripted missions.
>>336265594
ENDLESS HAIL OF DEVASTATION.
>I struggled to fail optional missions on purpose and it was too much effort to make Avitus the bady
All you have to do is to not take him into your team when his mission pop up and he will gain 4 points of corruption. Keep the rest of your squad clean and he will become the traitor.
>>336265776
We could still see it happening. Never say never
>>336238472
>inb4 it's a new map for DoW2
>>336265860
Possible but unlikely, for now I'm happy if DoW3 is made and isn't a shit show.
>>336265974
Damn straight
>>336265594
I did like customizing heroes in the last stand thing, but overall I thought the game was bad,
I wouldn't mind if they kept last stand at all.
>Mfw cucking everyone with tau
>Mfw raping erryone with nids
WHAT
A
TIME
>>336238472
TOMORROW IS THE DAY OF THE EMPRAH!
>>336266174
Last stand could have been an even bigger hit if they actually put more viable builds and most importantly MORE MAPS AND MORE BUTTONS TO PRESS FUCK, like most of the best builds had between 0 to 2 abilities to use, it's gets boring extremely quickly.
This piece of news gave me a hard boner. I feel like replaying all DoW campaigns.
>tfw you wake up to this
What if it's a remake of 1?
>>336266409
I'm just a sucker for dressup
>>336267157
>as you go through the ranks of experience (which you can gain 1/4 against AI) you can also get accessories for each unit, and chose which pieces you want to apply for your squads
>>336267068
Im gonna do that, at least the ones I own.
>>336264432
Here's to another round, 3v3 named "vidya"
>>336251359
I have the same desire. The emprah bless you.
>>336267508
I enjoyed DoW 2 3v3s, also helped with the notion of small armies, wouldn't mind if its team focused again.

>>336267884
Could this be a second blood dlc?
>>336244417
Dark Eldar and their new designs need to be there. Put them in instead of craftworld, we've seen them enough.
Honestly I'm really hoping this game starts with something other than the typical Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Chaos roster.
>>336267910

It works as a point where you drop supplies from orbit.

Thanks man. But then I miss his awesome DPS :(
>>336242832
No, Greg Wilson and a few other leaders are still there. Sega isn't gonna go bankrupt between now and this game launch, I think it will be fine.
>>336268281
What if it's both this and DoW III?
>>336241909
Go find a 40k novel where a chapter builds 8 chapter monasteries on the same planet, otherwise shut the fuck up.
>>336268193
those are miles and miles and miles away from the front line.
ever hear of a war being lost because a person got one tank past the front line and into the undefended space port blew it up and then all the defenders died?
yeah me niether
WARGAME:40k!
>>336238472
POWERLIST
Tau > Chaos > Mankind > Orc > Tyranid >Necrons > dArk eldars > Eldars
>>336264558
I'll trade your base-building for scale. Instead of 100 unit cap, 200 or more would be cool. Armageddon style.
While DoW3 will be fun. I think i'd actually prefer Space marine 2 and 3.

Not everybody wants to play a moba
>>336269374
>>336269374
In practice it is. It's a deeper and more complex game than DoWI, whether you are willing to accept it or not.
Was Space Hulk:A any good?
>>336269471
Oh neat look at how MOBA this RTS with no base building is.
>>336269392
Theres a mod for DoW2 that all but removes the cap.
>mfw sending hundreds upon hundreds of guardsmen to fight a single swarmlord
>watch them chip away at it with hundreds of lasgun zaps while he goes berserk and starts shredding the entire army
>only one came back
>>336269471
So is men of war a moba because it doesn't have base building?
>>336269553
I've said this before. This is what would be perfect for 40k.
I've autistically sent them emails about it, since Focus Home Interactive has done 40k before
>>336269329
>Battlefleet is great
Don't be retarded.
Hoping for these two motherfuckers to voice 90% of the game again.
>>336269771
Go play table top you faggot
Do I have to install all the previous DoW1 before SS to use those races online? I'd like to play some online, but I'm short of free memory on my pc
>>336269580
and what mod is that?
>>336269871
Yes
>>336269876
Dunno, its been years since I played DoW2.
Cant be hard to find with a google search though.
>>336269657
That is what I want DoW3 to be
WARGAME: 40k with thousands of different units
variations between IG regiments/CHapters/klans/etc...
That large long war scale
none of this fancy LAWL MAGIC unit abilities that have nothing to do with the actual magic in the setting ( WUT We can't aim at the enemy untill we click the double accuracy button?)
No bases ONLY WAR
>>336269657
>Perfect
Pham you need to understand that when you Play Wargame you're never close enough to see the individual units, just their labels.
40k is all about Melee as well, and Eugen can't into infantry vs infantry combat still
>yfw HARLEQUIN SHADOWSEER FREE-LC FOR THE THE LAST STAND
>>336247872
I played both DoW and Space Marine, but I literally cannot remember the difference in Ork voices, help me out
I'll make new thread?
>>336270192
It's going to be DEldar Archon.
>>336270224
Do you like my question?
>>336270192
>>336270347
Didn't they say on Twitter no more Last Stand DLC?
I wouldn't be surprised if it is for Last Stand. My bet is DoW3 will be announced at E3. Why would they announce it a month before E3?
Unless, of course, for hype and for people to watch E3 for the trailer.
Hoping for a campaign where the Space Marines part plays like DoW2, and the Orks/Guard part plays like DoW1.
>>336270224
Original OP here, glad so many people still care for DoW.
Please add links to the dow site and twitter to the new thread.
