Dawn of War:Soulstorm(demo)

Really annoyed at the fact that they are using fliers they simply DO not work.. In all honesty I think they are gonna either A) be extremely overpowered or B) extremely gimped/useless.. Any one else annoyed at this expansion? To me there are too many races, as a fan of the series and books I love the fluff as well as the new campaign.. But I don't see how competitive multiplayer will be ableto balance out a WHOOPING 9 different races along with a new mechanci, air.. SOmething they originally never intended to have in there to begin with.sSubZerOo

I'm not annoyed at the expansion in general, but I'm not happy to hear as someone mentioned above that air units are bound by the same rules of movement as ground units (they can't fly over troops, and they can get stuck in large groups). I was hoping the air units would be done better than that. Still, I don't think they'll be pointless based on what the previews have said, I'm confident they'll basically act like an added vehicle. I'd still prefer they didn't add any air units if that's the case, but I can live it. As for the 9 races, I say the more races, the better. Yes, it can be more difficult to balance them all, but that doesn't mean it can't be done, and even if there are some balance issues, being able to play that many of the wonderful 40K races totally makes up for it.

That is from reading keydefaults.lua from the soulstorm demo. They have Ork Wagon and all the other stuff I posted. :Dgogators4life

Oh, okay. Wow, that's awesome, Gator. I'm most glad to hear about the Wraithguard; finally the Eldar get some truly heavy infantry. :D Next favorite would be the Deceiver. Always wanted to see what his capabilities would be in the game, and now that wish has been granted. Next up is the Leman Russ Demolisher. I can't wait to see the kind of destruction that cannon will do. The Piranha is next, I always liked the look of the thing and I didn't like that the Devilfish was being used as the Tau's weak vehicle unit that only took up 1 support cap.

The Gun Wagon sounds great, though admittedly I'm behind on my Ork vehicle fluff, so I'm not sure how it will compare to the Looted Leman Russ. I always thought the two were roughly on par with each other, but again, I could be wrong. The Techmarine is interesting, though I'm not sure how he'll be used. Servitors already repair things, so he'll have to do a lot more than that to be especially useful.

I'm a little leary about the Chaos Dread. Granted, I'm very glad it's a vehicle, I've been getting really tired of them having only three vehicles (only two of which could be used for assault). Still, I'm just hoping they change the Defiler as needed to make the two distinguished from one another. If they do so, I'll be very happy with the Dread's addition, though.

There should be another demo coming up!

Afterwitnessing Relics balancing,patching and online at work in CoH I am not that excited for DoW, I might get it if the campaing is any good and not the usual attack enemy base, repeat at naseum while swimming in resources,that most of their other games have. Atleast CoH had medals and some good campaing ideas.

However I should go back and finish the WiC campaing, that although linear is atleast fun and clever.
