Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition

I think this is worth every penny. I got it because DoW4 looks promising and I played this years ago, but I never really warmed up to it. This time. Every minute in game is actually fun. I would describe this as an RTS with almost no micro. It seems to be more important to get the general "idea" correct. Right unit/weapon type, be at the right location, at the right time. The squad mechanic is rather strange. You can't micro individual units, but units are simulated individually. Let's say you have scouts and equip them with 2 sniper rifles. Now they need to stand still for some time to prepare their shot. If you use infiltrate (to make them invisible and not attacking), then give them a move command, where one of them has to adjust to find a position where it can stand still, the other sniper will start loading their rifle earlier, if you now deactivate infiltrate just about as that first sniper finishes loading, you can desynchronize their shots, avoiding overkill. So there is micro, but it is weird. Like you can give weapons to some of the units in the squad, but which units die in an exchange involves some randomness. I really enjoy the campaign so far. Playing on highest difficulty, it is not hard, but it forces you to find the correct solution to the maps. Fully, 100% recommended if you love RTS (If you have never played an RTS and are curious, always start with the Starcraft 2 Terran campaign, it is free and the best of the 3 campaigns). I wish the settings for the in game sound would apply to the intro. The intro is so loud when starting the game. Also, an overview of the hotkeys in game seems to be missing. There are guides you can look up online if interested, but it seems like a weird oversight, maybe I just couldn't find it in game...

игра говна со сломанной игрой по сетке

Орки орки орки орки орки орки орки орки WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

I recommend it for anyone who even has the slightest interest in RTS games as the most complete edition of Dawn of War, however the community "patches" seems to break more than it fixes and also tweaks the multiplayer in ways it really shouldn't.

Best introduction you can have to W40K

My favourite RTS of all time (if we separate RTS from RTT, so Myth: The Fallen Lords can be my favourite RTT of all time). If you haven't played Dawn of War before, buy this. Experience all the memes the single player campaigns have blessed us with, and all the epic voice acting, and all the Russians swearing at you in multiplayer. If you already own the original DoW 1: well, the Elo-based matchmaking in this one seems to actually function. For Skirmish games against the computer, get the DoWAI mod, to improve the AI's decision-making. Oh, and note to all the schmucks in denial: "Hard" is the fair difficulty in Skirmish. "Standard" gives the AI a resource disadvantage. Yes, your whole life has been a lie. ;)
