DOW breaks Record!

Dawn of war:Soul Storm will break a record when it comes out. And the record is that it will have 9 factions, that's the most factions ever in an RTS game. Congratz DOW:Soulstorm. :)

Plus it will have new air units. :)

hey, does it include a total of 9 faction in this stand alone expansion like dark crusades as playable for single play skirmishes?

and wow 9 factions, awesome!

It includes 9 total factions(2 new ones), and a camp that is twice as bigger than Dark crusade's camp.

All the factions in Soulstorm,

* Space marines

* Eldar

* Orks

* Chaos

* Imperial Guard

* Tau

* Necorns

* Dark Eldar

* The 9th unknown faction

Old Age of Empires games had more, I think?Ney_

Maybe but in DoW they are all different :D

can't wait, this is probably my favorite rts series of all time, even moreso than Starcraft. You just can't argue with how much this series is supported with expansion packs, and factions. I love me some Warhammer!mismajor99

as a huge fan of starcraft, and a fan of DOW, i see where your coming from, its a shame sc never got more expansions...at least DoW is getting enough to keep it fresh all thwe time, and with 9 factions i doubt you will ever get bored of using similar routines and units

I wonder what the ninth faction will be. There's not exactly a lot of choices. It's either Tyranids, Daemonhunters, or Witch Hunters (unless GW gave Relic the okay to expand on one of the less developed races in 40K, like the Hrud, Demiurg, or others). Daemonhunters would be a bad idea in my opinion, since Inquisition Daemonhunt has already come out with production quality of a race created by a professional dev team. While the Witch Hunters mod isn't done yet, it looks to have some insane quality to it, so I'm not sure where I stand on whether that should be the ninth or not. Tyranids would really be the best idea, in my opinion. Probably most 40K'ers would want them the most, and the mods made for it already have had the least quality in comparison to mods for the other two races.

Anyway, I'm psyched for Soulstorm. I mean, nine of 40K's magnificent races, AND they're adding air units?! Hot damn! I also can't wait to see what gets added to already existing races.

And there is new online badge system. :)

I'm not trying to bash it or anything but more factions doesn't always mean a better game.XBSHX

No, it means more fun and more long lasting appeal.
