Warhammer Dawn of War

Alright... for all you RTS fans out there... the greatest game of the genre has new expansions...

Admittedly i personally have played Dawn of War before... but i was able to obtain all the expansions for the game recently...

These expansions include new units, campaigns, races, game styles, cinematics and various other tidbits...

Particularly i was playing the Dark Crusade expansion... going through on campaign mode i saw a nice change to the level/mission select style... the world map in itself is a game similar to Risk... where it is turn based and the territories you control are given a numerical value based on garrisoned troops... each turn goes by and you are able to obtain 'requisition' aka money to bolster your defenses... you're primary army is commanded by a hero of the race (i was playing Orks) and is sent to conquer the various territories...

over time as you gain more territories you gain more requisition per turn allowing you to build incredibly defensive territories saving you time should you be attacked (when a territory is attacked you have the option to let it auto-resolve (dnd style roll a die and see if you win) or physically play the defensive mission)

over all this game is rather ground breaking on many levels and i highly suggest it to all RTS fans out there... especially the Warcraft 3 fanbois
