Please bear in mind that I only really like single player RTS games and the squad element/characterisation/rpg-lite of single player DOW2 was my jam for a long, long time.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Right now it's a macro vs macro blobfest, but I don't see why micro techniques like stutter stepping wouldn't work against melee heavy armies at the start. Blobbing gets you destroyed in this game by a half decent player. It's very micro intensive. Elites punish A-clicks pretty handily.

So people have been going on and on about how the game plays, or how it looks, but nobody has mentioned one of the most important core features of a dawn of war game. Are any of the voiced lines real stinkers? Something as dumb as boreale would be enough to justify the game to me.

The voice cast is almost entirely new, so I'm not expecting the same level of hamminess that you get from hiring former Dragon Ball Z actors. I mean, how do you top the cast they got for Retribution? Compare this to the DOW3 voice actor video and just see the difference in crazed enthusiasm between the two. Keith Ferguson is DA GROT and nobody else will top him.

I played the orks and can only remember an ork unit saying something like ''taking resource point. Wats a resource point'' I remembered it because I did a severe eye roll

People saying you get a ton of xp for elites and skulls in single player campaign . I'm hopeful this alleviates having to unlock crap in a multiplayer grind but we'll see. Haven't seen anyone comment on if the multiplayer gains have changed

I also started with 500 skulls. The elites I looked at costed around 200. Progression doesn't seem bad.

What are the elites like? I'm curious to know what the full list for each race is. I'm hoping to see a melee knight as well as some actual ranged terminators for SM in particular.

Reviews have been mixed on the campaign, most I have heard say that it mostly gears you up for MP, good or bad. It is probably still fun but maybe not worth sticker price If you hate people have you considered killing them in MP?

Do you like Warhammer 40k? Do you like RTS? If yes to either then yes you will get enjoyment. I dont think most people even in this thread would say it's not fun. The issue is more of if you'll be disappointed if it's not a return to 1 or 2. That or if the price of admission is a significant cost to you. I think it's fun to play but it's a bit pricey for me.

I can't figure out how to set up a skirmish vs the AI. There are three difficulty levels shown, but then it says I can't add an AI to a Quick Match. I don't see any other match type. Any assistance much appreciated.

The campaign missions give LOTS of elite XP, and quite a few skulls to boot. I am playing on Hard, but even still the first mission gave me five Gabe levels and the second three Gorgutz levels. I was a little worried about a potential grind, but if this keeps up that won't be the case at all.
