Build Fully Custom Armies In Dawn Of War III

I could see if they do a Grey Knight army one of the upgrades would be Sister of Battle Blood Armor, or perhaps if you select the Ultramarine chapter you automatically winAC10 said:
Guess I'm the only one who is hugely disapointed about base building coming back, I actually loved how it was a non-factor in DoW2.... IG could build some turrets and other structure, but there was none of that 'You need to build a Refinery to build a Science Lab to unlock 'the guy with a big gun' unit' bullshit that other rts are known for.
Customization is nice, but I hope gameplay remain closer to DoW2 and doesn't go back to DoW.

Agreed, actually. I think a good balance would be to implement a similar type of base-building from Company of Heroes. Yes, you technically build a base, but it's really only two or three buildings needed for units/upgrades, the rest are just defensive structures. If people want to play more traditional RTS, Starcraft is still there, and it's practically 40k in aesthetics already. I for one want no/limited base building and controlling/upgrading units by the squad. Hearing more army customization is certainly nice, though.....I just hope it really is gameplay/army composition wise, and not more over-priced skin packs.Tarkand said:
All that being said, still a pre-order for me.
Well yeah, one look at my Avatar should tell people that I will be buying this game no matter whatGrey_Focks said:
.But yeah, I do also wonder if the 'extra-customization' will only be about appearance or not... DoW2 already offer a lot of customization in the sense that most units (in fact, almost all) can be upgrade with different gear that ends up dramatically changing their function and effectivness.
I've sunk many hours into Dawn of War 2 and I expect the same with this game. It'd be interesting if they went with point limits like in the tabletop game and gave people the ability to go in with custom armies and try their luck. Part of multiplayer matchmaking is making sure battles vary while still staying manageable. No one wants to win every match (and feel unchallenged) or lose every match (and feel useless). Having two random people go in with armies they made beforehand could really help with that variance. You might go melee-heavy and get torn up from afar or vice versa. Basically, two people with the same win/loss ratio and skill level could have vastly different experiences based purely on their choice of army. Base building would probably have to be in a different mode though.

I think you're missing someone important from that list. BLACK MOTHERF(*&ING TEMPLARS.
OT: Sweet. So basically putting back in the one thing I missed from DoW2? Sign me up.
Now if only Relic could make a sequel to another one of their games with customizable armies... *cough* Impossible Creatures *cough*
I'm not falling for the DoW tricks again. All the stories sucked in the games. The only true reason I bought those games was for The Last Stand minigame.
And now they want it to be 'MMO like' and 'MOAR army customization' and army building.
I liked the groups you had in DoW 2, I hated the generic copy-paste story arcs in DoW 2: Retribution.
Stop masterbating on Blood Ravens, THQ!

The guy in the picture is Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. He has a storm bolter in his gloves, which are actually power fists. You'll need slightly more than 2000 grots.
