I like DoW 2 for more squad-focused combat and making Space Marines feel more than just oversized druggies.


Have you ever played any of the apocalypse mods?

Not that I can recall. Why do you want to know? Because if you are writing some fluff the setting is so vast I would think it fine to have something about it being tried.

It's because of the game Stellaris coming out VERY soon, alot of people are already talking about using the Imperium of Man as inspiration for their Empires.
Enslaving or Genociding other species are both valid options.

Me and Husk were having that discussion on the Paradox thread so I brought it over here to see if anyone knew.

Dawn of War 3 has a promotional trailer out now and all I can say is...huh? Honestly, the whole thing is really disjointed. It has cool little setpiece moments, like the Knight axing the Wraithknight, but other than that it seems really out of place and not in the spirit of the previous games and expansions.

It'd be kinda...nifty? if that pile of bodies is supposed to be the Skull Throne, but it really just doesn't fit with the lore.

If they rather fixed smurfs, there is much of lore inconstancy.

(i mean there smurfs with hooves, not ultra smurfs.)

Mark my words, one day I shall make an open world sandbox RTS set during the Second War for Armageddon, and its campaign will be as the Armageddon Steel Legion.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I've always thought a Men of War type game would suit the Imperial Guard really well.

I was thinking more like a tactical first person shooter like Brothers in Arms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_ ... 7s_Highway

You can play 3 different campaigns based on upon the 3 most popular Imperial Regiments as they each do battle for an entire sector.
Doing battle against Orks, Traitor Guardsmen, Chaos Space Marines, and Dark Eldar.
Maybe have an expansion that involves purging a waking Tomb World.

Death Korps and Armageddon are both obvious choices for campaigns.

I remember DoW III was supposed to have massive customizable armies, which fits the Titan preview and the sheer mass of the Avatar. I'm just hoping Sega doesn't whore out Relic like they did with CoH II.
