guys, i couldnt get into the wh40k universe
i like RTS games and shit my favorite is age of empires 2 but when i played dawn of war 2 i didnt like it
the top-down starcraft-esque combat scenes are nice and the factions are interesting, but the skills and the squad system is so stiff and clunky its absolutely disgusting
how do i get into these games? you all say they are great but dawn of war 2 left a terrible first impression in me
>>336294538
Dow 2 was ok, had more fun with it

>hated DoW II
>loved DoW1
I hope this is more like the first game assuming it's a new one. The second one felt more like a moba or some shit.
Unless I see either Necrons or Tau, I'm out.
>>336295508
>>336295573
Go play Starcraft or some other 20 year old shit if you want that.

So what? It still has the ability to be a good game. DOW1 was GOAT and it only had SM, CSM, Orks and Eldar. Fucking babbies, honestly.
>>336296484
The perfect reboot would be a mix of 1 and 2
>Simplification but expansion upon research
>Better troop and base management
Unless it's really, really fucking good if it doesn't have base building or it has shitty squad tactics fucking dropped
>>336296874
bigger maps and armies is mostly what I want.
>>336296996
DoW Apocalypse mod but less clunky and bigger maps would be paradise
It's going to be another casualized moba-hybrid, isn't it?
If it is, it can fuck right off.

Base building has its place.
It also doesn't have its place.
The best option is to have missions with and without it.
Also its 40K, the tabletop -never- had base building.
I mean space marines are literally made to be able to be dropped from low orbit and fuck shit up in a short amount of time before the IG and Admec roll in to set up shit.

Of course it fucking doesn't. Never compare tabletop to any other media in the setting because it just doesn't work.
>I mean space marines are literally made to be able to be dropped from low orbit and fuck shit up in a short amount of time before the IG and Admec roll in to set up shit.
Space Marines DO get shit built for them using what they have available, mainly servitors. You're essentially saying every fight the Adeptus Astartes is a quick assault. Even marines need some kind of basic infrastructure and logistics for large scale operations.
>>336308512
Tau are fine.
Also they do matter, they're right next door to ultramarines, and everything revolves around ultrasmurfs these days.
>>336308121
>Also its 40K, the tabletop -never- had base building.
uhhh your aware that the table top revolves around rolling dice and if the game did that it would suck, video games need to be video games your argument is as autistically retarded as we all know you to be.

>>336308512
>>336308674
Tau are essentially contained in their little corner because they have no warp travel ability. They can expand into local space but they're fucked if they want to travel large distances, escape an enemy (Eg, a Hive Fleet), or invade someone who isn't their neighbour.
I hope its first person instead of all this lame old 8bit top down shit from the crysis era
>>336308809
The table top revolves around ordering units.
The game could too.
IG creating entrenched positions is as far as base building should go.

>>336309173
I don't even like the tau.
>>336309173
So, how much like DOW1 do you want or did you like their inbetween in Retribution?
I also want to know if they are going to do the rehashed campaign stuff like Retribution, or start us off FRESH with a new squad of SPESS MARHINES. A chapter of them, and like Tau would be sick as fuck.
>>336309879

WHAT THE FUCK IS A LEGION KNIGHT THING
>>336310146
The Knight Knight? One of Matt Ward's fever dreams
>>336309824
Iffy on how to compromise between basebuilding. Something like CoH 1/2's basebuilding is irrelevant, but the entire removal of it feels weird. It's best to have one or the other end of the equation, and I'd rather just go back to DoW1's way of it, albeit with more variation on the way factions build things.
I'd love for suppression and squads to stay the way they are in CoH 2, where retreating is less of a get out of jail free card and suppression is a bit less wonky. Keep DoW 2's presentation and attention to VA's, and the excellent army painter. Something like CoH 2's commanders might be neat, but then again it wouldn't hurt to just stick with same old factions.
Then the hardest part of all: and in my opinion the most important is for Relic tofix their fucking pathfinding. It makes DoW 1 unplayable for me, and even in CoH 2 it's still bad. Jesus.
>>336309879
Good luck painting that then when it's assembled.
>>336310270
>>336310146
No he's talking about the new Imperial Knights, aka babby titans admec traded to planets for mineral wealth and are owned by noble houses who fight for the honor of their houses.
>>336309824
DOW1 is way better than DOW2. So I hope DOW3 is more like DOW1.

Slaanesh is about self discovery. You gotta break in first, get them over the hurdle, make them realize they love the dick.

>>336308589
I have to respect them on some level because one of their laser rings saved my Rogue Trader during a game of Inquisitor.
Do people honestly expect any kind of base building focus from a relic RTS? Even after the past 6 years? Even considering their first RTS was completely devoid of any kind of base building in the first place?

I dont expect base building, but I do expect they will go in a different direction from DoW2 and focus back on large scale fights.
DoW2 was an attempt to make a super competitive esport no fun allowed game and it failed miserably online because of it. I dont think they would bother to make the same mistake.

Not him but I hate how impact-less everything feels like in that.
Even Starsector has more engaging combat.
>>336312838
I won't be expecting much considering they have clearly defined their take on the RTS formula with CoH, DoW2, and CoH2.
At best we'll see something like the Brits or OKW from CoH2, and that's as high as my expectation are willing to go. Small scale (squad based) combat will be the default, at the very least.
>>336312927
The only one that might be decent is Dude Sex 4
>>336312838
>DoW2 was an attempt to make a super competitive esport
No it wasn't, it was an attempt to make it a vaugely balanced game. The problem in today's world is that if you -have- to balance around the top end of players, because they'll write a guide that tells everyone how to break every matchup and then your game is dead.
The only RTS that didn't have that problem in the last few years was Wargame, and that was only during the ESL tournaments when people were playing for money and keeping their strategies quiet, and it didn't last long enough for everyone to dissect that shit properly.
>>336313289
>Small scale (squad based) combat will be the default
Lets hope not, its awful.
>>336313315
>No it wasn't, it was an attempt to make it a vaugely balanced game
Thats just a consequence of them wanting the esport scene. There was a massive amount of time and money spent by Relic trying to foster that scene which didnt exist for DoW1. And the gameplay was obviously designed around that as well.
It's just a Last Stand DLC
>>336312927
>Rehash

>Rehash

>We dont even know what it is yet
Nope, gaming is still fucked.
>>336313523
No it's just a fact that you literally can't not do that in this day and age or your game will die.
Wargame is the last RTS that managed to get around that and it's because it's the only half-milsim half arcade RTS around to provide milporn.
If your game doesn't meet a certain minimum level of balance within a month the dominent strategy will at least begin to emerge, and that's how the game dies. Most RTS players that aren't playing starcraft are casuals who don't want to play the same strategy over and over again. And people like all the races being viable.
Battlefleet gothic's biggest success is that it is vaguely balanced.
It's gonna be another last stand here
You all are gonna freak the fuck out
>>336313793
>No it's just a fact that you literally can't not do that in this day and age or your game will die.
>You cant have fun or your game will die
I dont think you know how gaming works. The last few years of RTS has been nothing but balanced games focusing on competitive esport scenes and have all failed, you are are objectively wrong.

Battlefleet isnt even mildly balanced, its a total clusterfuck.
People like it because its big ships with big guns shooting at other big ships
Also ramming
>>336313623
literally shit taste
>>336313921
Do you have fun if every match of say imperium vs chaos the chaos player builds X at 0:50, Y at 1:30 and attacks your base at 3:30 and you can't effectively fight back? because that's what poorly balanced games are like. In grey goo the beta vs not beta. Matchup was pointless becuase if the beta player was good he'd win and that's that.
>>336313623
>total war warhammer
>good
nigga it aint even out yet
2 was a better game
>>336314025
There's no matchup that's always fucked no matter what and a variety of strategies are capable of being functional, granted the system they have means that it'll take probably a few months for any overwhelmingly powerful strategies to become apparantt.
1 was a better game
>>336314119
No one gives a shit what the top 1% does.
A fact lost on you and every RTS developer who has made an RTS game in the last few years which flopped as expected because they care more for esport than 99% of the playerbase.
Regicide is the better game
>>336314070

>>336314337
The top 1% write guides, that shit trickles down.
In wargame while no one had solved SAM, everyone adopted the ESL dominent strategies because the people that care and follow it started doing it and curb stomping, so everyone else started following suit to compete. Even gold league players in starcraft have basic timings and build orders down, even if their macro is awful.

>People just want tower defense games instead of RTS games

So thanks for that.
>>336314661
>People just want mobas instead of RTS games
Capping victory points isn't cool
>>336314612
You postulate DoW 2 is shit because of "esports" I'm asserting that it's not "esports" that draws them to make their game this way, it's the reality of the age we live in where information spreads rapidly, and there is a number of people who play games to win and will solve your game, and then this knowledge will spread. And that will kill your game, forcing you to make your game the kind of balanced game you say is ony made this way for esports and I am doing this with examples. It's directly relevent.
>>336314481
>The top 1% write guides, that shit trickles down.
No it doesnt. Even in games like SC the vast majority of players really dont give a shit about what the top players are doing. At best they will know some basic strategies that might look a bit like what top players do, but the cast majority of the gameplay will be them fucking around doing what they want.
>>336314698
To be fair.
>>336314838
>"esports" that draws them to make their game this way,
And you are objectively wrong by Relics own doing. End of discussion.
>>336295508
WHY THE FUCK WOULD SPACE MARINES BUILD BASES THEY JUST FUCKING DROP IN ON DROP PODS.
>>336293590
If it doesn't have fuckhuge swarms like in DoW1 I'll struggle to give a shit. DoW2 was only entertaining for the 40k fluff.
>>336314856
Have you played starcraft since like wol? no one -just- fucks around in 1v1s
I've played almost every RTS that's come out in the last few years and they've all followed this rough patten. People start playing around shit that stomps them.
>>336314954
compelling arguement, 10/10 would submit for peer review.
Last Stand was better than the base game of DoW2. They should have heavily expanded it instead.
>>336315145
>Have you played starcraft since like wol? no one -just- fucks around in 1v1s
And the majority dont play 1v1s
They play Vs AI, Coop Vs AI, or 2v2+ in casual
>>336315306
Pretty much this, I remember doing WC3 4v4's for days when I wasn't fucking around with custom games.
NO FUCKING WAY
IS THIS TRULY HAPPENING
>>336314856
Are you implying that developers SHOULD NOT balance the game around the player-base that know the game best?
>>336293590
I SHOULD HAVE NEVER DOUBTED HIM
PRAISE BE HIS NAME, OUR BENEVOLENT EMPEROR
>>336315306
There's more people ranked for 1v1 than there are for teams, and most of those people with team ranks will have 1v1 ranks.
You don't know shit about modern RTS demographics, this isn't the early 2000s anymore.
>>336315543
Developers should balance around what would be best for the majority.
Following what only the top 1% enjoys does not make a good game. DoW 2 proved that.
>player-base that know the game best?
They know what the best is for the top 1%, not for the 99% of players.
>>336315653
Because the majority dont play ranked either. 1v1 is niche and has always been niche in RTS.
>>336315697
>Because the majority dont play ranked either. 1v1 is niche and has always been niche in RTS.
No that's the only thing that's left for RTS. If you want a team game, you play a team game. You go play LoL or DoTA.
>>336315653
>You don't know shit about modern RTS demographics, this isn't the early 2000s anymore.
You mean when RTS was successful because it focused on the majority of the player base which was not competitive 1v1s?
Yeah, fuck those times, who wants successful RTS game anyway.
>>336315810
>No that's the only thing that's left for RTS
Its not, at all. The vast majority of RTS games see their play time in campaigns, vs AI, coop and in team battles in non ranked game modes.
>>336315697
Also

What would be best for the majority isn't balance, it's learning how to play the damn game first. If you balance based on the players that have not explored the games mechanics in their entirety, you get redundancy. literally CoH2 4v4 80% of the players I play with don't even know how to even use mines, and blob the entire game.
>>336315974
>>they start stomping with a single strategy, then the top 5% start doing it, then the top 10%, then top 20%, 40%, etc.
Pretty hard for anyone to stomp someone who doesnt play online, which is the vast majority of RTS matches.
Fact is online play for RTS games has never been that popular, least of all in comparison to other genres. Its why AI is such a common issue in RTS games, because most people play against the AI rather than people. The only other times the majority plays with others is when they are playing against AI with their friends.
Interestingly enough, it looks like they're pushing Tyranids right away this time, instead of starting it off as the usual Marines, Chaos reskins, orks, and eldar. I wonder what other starting faction's they'll have.

>What would be best for the majority isn't balance, it's learning how to play the damn game first. If you balance based on the players that have not explored the games mechanics in their entirety, you get redundancy.
Thats a lot of things you are saying without saying anything at all.
Fact is the top 1% has never been important outside the top 1%. RTS games thrived when developers made the games with the majority in mind, not esports.
>>336315820
The demographics from 20 years ago are the same as they are now. As are the realities of game development.
>>336315952
Yeah the people playing AoE 2 and Starcraft 2 to this day are totes just playing compstomps and campaign.
I'm not saying those thigns don't exist, but it's ignoring the evolution of the general skill of the RTS player, scripted campaigns are pretty much the only way to appeal and those are expensive because anyone that's still playing RTS games are getting good at them, back in the early 2000s it was cheap to make that relatively. Unless you're willing to throw big money and hope for big returns on a fancy campaign, you'll never get campaign appeal in the same way you used to.
>It's happening
>>336316470

You spend so much time focusing over what the top players do you have completely lost focus on what the majority does.

>>336317026

I never said campaign focus, I said it had one, and it does. It has big flashy cutscenes, story integration into the missions, unconventional mission design, an overarching upgrade system to mould your army over the 30 missions.
It's literally got the biggest RTS campaigns made as a whole.

http://berserk.wikia.com/wiki/God_Hand
A shitty source if there ever was one, but:
>Most of the God Hand's names are inspired by Science-Fiction novels. It is also worth noting that the design of the God Hand characters show similarity to Cenobites from the Hellraiser movie series, based on Clive Barker's novella, of which Miura is believed to be a fan.
Ubik is from a Phillip K. Dick book, the rest are from .. other sci fi shit. I think it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Miura, being into sci-fi, would know and take inspiration from WH40K, specifically the over-the-top grimdark bullshit in it.
>>336318203I would buy 10 dollar DLC campaigns detailing the exploits of individual chapters/warbands/WAAAGHs/cadres/garrisonsas long as each one brought new gameplay mechanics and maps
The base building in 1 was fucking nothing.
The basic gameplay between 1 and 2 was generally the same, you send some faggots out to cap points to generate resources to make more guys
The difference is DOW2 focused entirely around map control while DOW1 was base building and turret spam, I was glad they removed the structure grind off the req point capturing in 2 and gave turrets a pop cap.
I for one hope they focus on unit strategy and micro rather then unit spam and macro, one of the reasons I prefered WC3 over SC1/2 was because individual units were more important, and that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be base building, just shouldn't be the main focus of the game outside of basic upgrades and defenses.

>>336318818
Never played it.
But from my experience I liked DOW2 better then DOW1, and I have well over 500 hours on each game's various expansions.
DOW2 was at its peak for me when I could play shit like guard and entrench my positions or play marines and just take the point and drop pod in.

this is an awful idea, and deck building is so far from the realm of either game I can't see why you would want it, or why being closer to TT is a goal when TT right now is awful
40k and Wargame isn't a bad idea, but I wish everyone would remember this is the DoW series and not CoH, Wargame, or anything else
stick to what it does good and save the rest for a different series

>>336317691
I think you need to go to the head doctor anon.
>>336319104
Don't know about end war. But the way wargame worked was you had a bunch of catagories (infantry, tank, support, etc) and those contained things you'd expect, infantry, tanks, artillery, AA, etc. You have so many points to build a deck and each slot costs a certain number of points with the first infantry unit costing 1. And each card had with it it's own cost, so it would cost 1 point to put a unit of say US Marines, which come in a transport, so lets say a humv, so the marines cost 15 points to deploy and the humv 10, so in the field you pay 25 to deploy them and you got points for owning bits of the map (mape control = economy). And on top of the cost they would have an availability. So you could have say 20 units of US marines from 1 card, or 30 units of normal riflemen, the riflemen would be cheaper, etc. Now I picked infantry becuase I'm a retard and made it more complicated.
So say you want to put 3 tanks in your deck, it costs 1 for the first tank, 2 for the second and 3 for the third, so 6 of your say 60 deck building points. And you could have up to however many cards they would let you, so the M1A2 they would only let you have 1, so you could only take one, but the M1, you could take all 3 cards of that if you really wanted.
>>336308121
>I mean space marines are literally made to be able to be dropped from low orbit and fuck shit up in a short amount of time before the IG and Admec roll in to set up shit.
You realize in DoW1 that space marines were always dropped in right? You could deep strike them via drop pods and when you "built" them normally at the barracks a drop pod lands on the barracks, that is them.
>>336319587
They're only 45% human at most.

>>336318907
>A Wargame style 40k game
>units are lifted from Imperial Armor books as well as the codexs
Yes please
Wargame already plays like a tabletop so it would probably work really well and would probably be the closest thing we would ever get to a W40K: Apocalypse or Epic 40k game.
>>336320561
>100k marines
No, dude. They are 1000, no more. They do have a metric fuckton of successor chapters but they do their thing independently from the Ultras.
Same applies for every chapter with successor chaptersexcept for the Unforgiven.
>>336320561
The ultramarines have less than 40 tac squads.
Are you high?

pretty grim dark 40k/40k
>>336320556
>>not knowing about the forced sterilizations
Literally not canon.
And join or die is rare, there's 0 reason to do it usually as what they do is they just keep trying to trade and offer protection (fringe imperium worlds are often entire generations away from any major response so deals with local alien powers to protect them is common)
Is anyone else seeing the constantly growing pile as the Throne of Skulls?
>>336321469
That could indeed be a pile of skulls but there seems to be a distinct lack of an actual throne in that picture anon.
>>336314337
I agree, focusing on the ESL player base and not on the fun(koop vs KI,big battles,engaging gameplay,innovative gameplay, asymmetric gameplay, singleplayer Campaign) aspect is totally forgotten and mostly the downfall of all new age RTS games.
>>336321469
>>336321657
bottom lower right, tyranids. But you know the chaos gods are up to something as well.
>>336321469
>constantly growing pile
holy shit i didnt notice that it grew a bit
>Tyranids and Chaos
I sure hope it's NOT Shadowbrink.
>>336321469
That'd be pretty interesting
People theorize that it's Tyranid spores falling, but if that's actually a clip of Khorne's realm, with all the skulls capped by his followers constantly billowing down, that'd be some cool shit.
>>336321657
the beanbag of skulls doesn't have the same ring to it. Give him a break though its like trying to make a castle out of dry sand.
>>336322072
Where are you looking at?
It'd be neat if they stayed away from the typical
SM, Eldar, Orks and Chaos.
A game set on a Tau controlled human world where the local human population was turning to chaos and they were trying to control it would be cool tho.
>>336315543
They should stop wasting resources on balance the shit out of the game so just no 100% autistic korean can't exploit the 0.001 more attack dmg one unit has over the other in a 1v1 ESL match.
They should just focus on a big and extensive warhammer 40k experience with good representation and great unit diversity and the balance should come second or third place.
>>336322092
It's kinda not bloody or red enough for that.
>>336322246
on the mountain shape closest to you you can see the dots slightly bouncing back up. they're not falling into the crater their falling onto it.
>>336320561
>The Ultramarines consist of around 100k marines
What is this, the Great Crusade? It's current millenium.
>>336318907
I don't like such arguments, but when you want the game to be like the tabletop, why not play the tabletop instead? In my opinion the video game segment of the WH40k universe should take advantage of its virtual nature and show us aspects of the Universe that are not possible to represent in real life (aka big ass huge battles with millions of participants)
>>336322586
>no game ever will focus on the Horus Heresy
Even though it's top tier material.
>>336322695
Being like =/= being the same. and keeping more tabletop elements keeps more fluff elements which are nice to have.
Mechanics that reinforce the fluff are the best.
>>336322383
Imperium is central, tho, and the Tau are just a fringe sect for pandering to you weeaboos.
If anything, I'd be down with IG, Orks, Necron, and then Eldar. You get the Imperial Bureacracy, the savagery of the orks, the machinations of the eldar, and then the ancient evil of the necrons. Then you can shit out some adamentine balls and hold the line just in time for Space Marines to show up and steel the glory.
>>336322092
I think its Imperial Guardsmen being dropped from orbit to secure a beachhead on some planet. A few million more and the mound should be secure enough to safely land a ship on.

>>336322817
I'm biased here but, when i remember correctly about the 20 minutes i played Wargame, in both games you presented you only control a small number of units which is just like the same as the Tabletop.
I have the urge to see epic battles on a much wider scale in the warhammer videogame universe. The Ultimate Apocalypse mod scratches on that for example.

Except you are forgetting veterancy which fucked everything up.
So you COULD bring 5 M1 Abrams or you can up the experience of the the abrams because the basic model cant hit shit so you get 4 with rank 1 experience. Or you can do it again and get 3 for rank 2 experience.
Now you need to juggle what units you can bring by limited deck space, expense, availability, and experience but you still need to make sure you bring units to do all the jobs needed (capture, AA, indirect, Anti-infantry, anti-tank, recon). This is all something that is decided before you have even found an opponent.
Wargame's deck system is unnecessarily complex.
Why do Guee'aboos keep on thinking they're majorly relevant to the setting?
>>336320814
Not to mention you have a company of nothing but Assaults and a company of nothing but Devastators because fuck Guillman was an idiot.

In the grim darkness of the current vidya industry there is only war. And no base building.I pity the fools who didn't enjoy all the games to the max.
So how bad will you guys take it when Dawn of War 3 turns out to be a MOBA?
>>336323557
The Necron did not have that much hype build-up.
>>336329284
What would be the point? The Horus Heresy is a clusterfuck and not a complete story yet.
On top of that, it would be a nightmare to balance in multiplayer, and would make the single player experience terrible since gameplay would change every time you get a new legion.
I like all the games for different reasons. I felt DoWII was a lot tighter and more tactical rather than just blob favourite units. DoW I was great for massive clusterfucks that just felt great to throw tons of units at each other.

>>336295508
I'm inclined to agree. Conceptually, getting rid of base building would be fine. Like I guess I don't specifically find building power/barracks before playing a game fun, but no RTS that has dropped base building has ever been fun. Just did not enjoy DoW2 at all.

Doubtful. If they're in production for DoW3, all the artists will be cranking on assets there.

That's kind of the theme of the tabletop.
Blob and you'll get kills but lose points; spread and you'll get points but lose models/squads. A successful commander tars points while using a mobile strike force to force retreats and counter blobs.
If you an do anything you want, you've already won.

Reminder that people who put orks and ig as their two favourite races are dow only bandwagoners that don't understand that's its old school grognard bait to lampoon people who pretend to only like them ironically.
On an unrelated not DoW2 got fucked up by THQ forcing GFWL on relic because they needed the money, then continuous waves of layoffs as it went down so we will never really know what DoW2 could have been.
Assuming Sega just forces race pack dlc on relis I don't see why this game can't be great.

DoW2 got fucked over because of that cuntstain Lead Designer Jonny Ebbert and his awful ideas about "fixing" RTS.
He went to blizzard and worked on diablo 3. SO that's that.
>>336338996
It's your fault. Had you sucked one less dick everything would've been different.
>>336339050
>He went to blizzard and worked on diablo 3
Well, this explains a few things.
I don't really mind how DoW2 tried to play around with the RTS formula. But the key word here is "tried", because the skirmish gameplay was awful.
I loved the campaign, though. Felt like the proper space marine experience.

>Avitus was the canon traitor not this Codex shirking tacticool edgelord.

>>336339515
I am that poster, DC was also problematic. The changed infiltration method was shit and reduced control. It introduced the new system for capping vehicles, which again reduced player choice. Necrons were super OP for a long time, and it introduced the Risk style campaign map which while it can be fun, is pathetic for telling stories.
Not to mention all the technical things that got broken moving over to DC (I was modding the game at the time).
DOW1 was established, and Ebbert didn't have a "clean slate". DOW2 was his clean slate.
If they wanted to go all tactical for DoW II why didn't they just make a more complicated combat system with more control over what your units do and just remove cap points and HQ, have every player start with their army?
>>336340320
>It introduced the new system for capping vehicles
This was the absolute worst. My fondest memories of DoW are playing Night Monastery in WA and spamming fire prisms or terminators over the monastery in the middle into the enemy base.
How long until they announce what it is then?
>>336340457
In 3.5 hours
>>336339896
The game fucking beat you over the head that Avitus was the traitor in Chaos Rising.
He openingly says he enjoys murdering loyal Imperial citizens and on multiple occasions recommends destroying Imperial strategic assests that would result in helping the enemies of the Imperium in the long run.

There was actually an interview from a year ago (maybe more or less) where a guy at relic was talking about a points system maybe (I guess we'll see).
Legit question though how could they make DoW2 more tactical? A lot of units had at least two abilities with commanders and sub commanders having between 3 and 4 at a time depending on build.
How do you get more complicated then that per unit in an rts?
I CAN'T WAIT!
