Added on February 25, 2008, 10:22 amNot bad for an aging game but the balance part...we'll have to see it ourselves.

Hmmm, i bet highly there will be overpower races* indeed, which is cool brows.gif .

*overpower races can be labeled to any winning race due to incompetent opponents, as such, it is advisable to be realistically competent on the losing side before labeling any race imba or op.

Your lung is worthless due to the tainted foul air u constantly breath....
Your kidney might fetch some fair price for its efficiency in cleaning blood....

_________________________

Anyway, to be fair honestly speaking if you aim to buy only new models u need to set aside about RM2k to be comfortable for expansion until a sizable army. Might be slightly less if you have in mind what you want and the fact chaos come in battle force box, unlike me doh.gif

Playable army size starts from 500pts with 250pts interval jump.
Standard 1v1 game is about 2000pts per person max.

Not really,i just found it in Relic News forum.

I repost it here so that you guys dont have to check there all the time.

Lets hope Relic is developing DoW 2.

It will take some time before they do so....

DoW2 should be in development now.

It just will take some time to announced it.Maybe at E3 2008 or something?

This is the second rumour i heard about DoW 2.

It will be some time before the announcement come, since DoW:SS is around the corner.
Cheesenium
Yeah,if they announced now,no one would buy SS.

Though it is quite an old article, outdated imo.

I am sorry that is a clear case of fanboism.

In any case I am more of a fan of Warhammer space marine than StarCraft space marine. 40k marine helmet are much meaner, and they get near to their enemies and try to chop them up with swords! bruce.gif biggrin.gif
redeye84
This guys review is pretty bias.. He seems to only plays 1-2 mission then make this review. To prove my point I shall painfully read though his review and point out his flaws..

Starcraft vs DOW...

In terms of presentation, DOW beats hands down for It truly capture the Wh40K universe.
Starcraft in the other hand, It is badass but Its universe is really shallow so therefore there isnt alot to offer..

In terms of Gameplay... DOW During its time, It was truly innovative.. No haverster, no resources collection and etc.. Its truly breed a really new RTS system.
Starcraft in the other hand used a pretty much same concept that C&C, RA,WC3 used..

In terms of Services and Balance.. Starcraft was no doubt superior.. SC with the aid of Battlenet which was simple but it was hell more stable than Gayspy. As for balance... To be fair SC has like 3 races and DOW has 7.. so its easier for SC to get it balance.. but relic hell made big mistakes that game companies can easily avoid..
General Specific
Congrats on V5 guys !
johnnycp
with the upcoming races addon. they are 9 races in total. so you can roughly guess how balance it is already.

DC is one hell of imbalance game, but still the huge team game is fun to play.

Even though this game is imba,it's still great game to play.

Im getting SS because DoW has always been a great RTS to me.Great visuals,top of the class animations,not so balanced match ups and a deep immersing back ground story.

Who said anything about number of races versus balance issue? Last I know relic cant even balance up 4 races properly. It is all about management will and $$$, which aint bad for the moment but could use some improvement since SC2 is just around the corner.

in the end it is still all about $$$ and man power. u can roughly guess how much reric+ironlord have
Cheesenium
I just hope IL and Relic will release a few proper balance patch for SS before they stop patching SS.

Anyway,a bad news,Iron Lore will not be patching SS.Only Relic and THQ will be patching SS.I dont expect there will be better support for SS.
redeye84
.... so... What is the goal of SS?? If relic support isnt going to be there for the long run?
scrubiee
fun n making new friends ^.^

yeah.. fun for u cos all u do is vespid harass then come with TC and throw snare traps everywhere like its bread crumbs from hansel and grettle
