If DoW2 really is coming, what would you want to see?

Which armies?

What kind of zoom scale and map size? (considering Supreme Commander - and the size of armies 40K has, and the scale of some of the unis)

How about the size of your unit pool? Happy with the DoW/CoH size? Want bigger armies? Smaller?

Do you want the resource system to use Company of Heroes' more complex system, or the simpler Dawn of War system - or something newer and even more refined?

Do you want to see any changes to the squad mechanic and the way reinforcement works, or to the way ranged and melee units work together?

Do you want walls and buildings like in Company of Heroes, or the sparser environments of DoW?

A much deeper single player campaign? Something to rival the Total War series perhaps?

Any other cool things you want? Like the ability to go first person or something?

The more I think about Dawn of War 2, the more I think that what I want is just Dawn of War in the Company of Heroes engine with the Tyranids. That's all I want. Sequels should build on their predecessors, but honeslty, I just want more of the same. What about you?

Tyranids. I still haven't played the first ones because they were not included. I might look into getting Dark Crusade for the Necrons... since they are piquing my interests a little as of late.

I think DOW2 (if there will be such a thing) should stick to its guns but add further content and maybe some useful features.

It should definetly keep:

>Small to medium sized maps (means more regular fighting and less waiting)

>Squad based combat (its realistic based on both the tabletop game and RL. It is also easier to use)

>Well balanced forces (perhaps the best level of balance I have seen in RTSs)

What should be removed or fixed:

>Overpowered characters like the deamons and such. (Sure it may be exciting to own but utlimately they are cheap. Could be toned down at the very least)

New stuff needed:

>All current WH40K races available

>Easier modding and mapping technology

>more control over zoom amounts (like allow us to zoom out all the way to view whole map)

I only want 1 thing, and 1 thing only:

Imperial Navy.

...well, that and the game renamed to be Dawn of War 2: Battlefleet Gothic :D

Races: every existing one + 'Nids

Costumization: Costomizable commander( it could be fluff or affecting gameplay) and a more in depth army painter( maybe a thing like tabars and such)

Campaign: One following up on the origonal game with a contiuing plot & a DC type one, but capable for multyplayer too

Cap: larger cap, at least double, or a cap limit set befor a match(eg. 20, 30, 40, 50 settings)

Units: new ones for the existing races and some new features, like Tau building sheild genirator, due to lack of turrets

and other things that dont come to mind right now
