I just felt like starting this tread on the greatest RTS series in existence. This tread will contain, but not be limited to: General and race specific tactics for factions in Dawn of War 1 or 2 and any of their expansions.[/*] Discussion about Campaign elements and walk throughs. As a consequence this thread will be wrought with spoilers so read at your own risk.[/*] General talk about which faction is your favourite, why Space Marines are so badarse, etc. etc.[/*] Sorry about the edit, I was trying to work out how the list function worked.
Nah, they are good RTS's. I'm a huge C&C fan I have every single C&C game to date, bar C&C4, and even I can admit they pale in comparison to the DoW series.
Numerous things. For example: The badarsery factor is 100 fold greater in DoW over C&C.[/*] The games resource and victory mechanics definitely force more strategic thought and offer new tactical avenues for harrassing your opponent.[/*] Generally all units have one or more upgragdes/special abilities, this helps to increase the amount of tactical options you have at your disposal and make gameplay more interesting.[/*] The cover mechanic and squad based gameplay really helps to separate commanders who can utilise their environments well from those who cannot and once again helps to deepen the gameplay.[/*] If there is anything that C&C does better than DoW games, it's usually cutscenes.
Well. This is a rather sad occasion. I've played this game so much that I am now 20th in the world for 2v2's.... oh well, time to put that effort into uni work. Lets see how far I can go!
Lol. I wouldn't say so; most have moved off to retribution and as such a lot of the stiff competition too.
Update on my progress; I'm now 9th.... I am one sad child. I have my final exams in 2 weeks so I should really be doing some study...
