That should make some of you very pleased
Not only was thatteaserbuilding up toWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IIIas many of us had hoped, but thereveal trailer itselfwas badass. I’m so happy. Even if it is Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar again for the three-sided story campaign (pending inevitable DLC), I need this!
Picking up from the basics shared this morning,PC Gamerhas extra details about Relic’s real-time strategy game. Bases, and larger-scale skirmishes, are back. I always preferredDawn of War II‘s tactical squad-based style over the original game’s more traditional battles, but there’s certainly room to reach more of a middle ground, and it sounds like that’s the plan. For players like me, there will still be special elite units to micro-manage in addition to the hordes of cannon fodder.
Another point of contention has been the recent games’ cover system. According to PC Gamer, Relic is taking a “simplified” approach here. “The change makesDawn of War III‘s big, chaotic battlefields easier to parse, and gives melee units an important role as siege-breakers.”
Exciting stuff. I can’t wait to see some Imperial Knights, Gorkanauts, and Wraithknights clash.
