The upshot of Dawn of War 3's bigger armies is there's loads of stuff going on all of the time, which is also great. Or why not a fleet of Land Speeders, which float about the battlefield as if competing in a post-apocalyptic riff on Dancing on Ice? Done and done.

Or, you can create an army made up of 200 Scout Marines just for the laugh. So yes, in Dawn of War 3 you can smash up enemy bases with a tank rush. In Dawn of War 3 you build squads of soldiers and loads of vehicles, such as tanks. But, importantly, it's not Dawn of War 2, either.Д«y that I mean you do feel like you're commanding an army, as opposed to micromanaging a group of incredibly powerful hero units who happen to have taken a few squads and vehicles along for the ride. Big armies and base building are back.ДЄnd those big armies, eh? There's a hell of a lot going on on screen in Dawn of War 3 because there's a hell of a lot of soldiers on screen shooting the place up. Hey, Servitor, why don't you build me another Doctrine Chapel just because? 'This one serves as punishment for. I loved Dawn of War 2, but I did miss those massive armies made possible by everyone's favourite unsung builder unit. There's something about those downtrodden Servitors that feels perfectly Warhammer 40,000. But despite the simplicity of Dawn of War 3's base building, the mechanic makes a welcome return. It's a relatively simple affair that involves gathering Requisition and Power from Resource Points, plonking down buildings that open up the tech tree in traditional fashion, and expanding your sphere of influence to inch ever closer to the 200 population cap. Now, it's important to note Dawn of War 3's base building doesn't rewrite the RTS rulebook. Then there's the return of base building. Use this special ability to launch Angelos into a squad holed up in one of Dawn of War 3's new cover points for maximum splash damage. When you pop his smash, the hammer carves cracks into the ground as enemy units are knocked on their backs. Everything from his run animation to his cool leap smash attack has been crafted to reinforce the sense that he's carrying around a bloody great heavy hammer that does huge amounts of melee damage. The Blood Ravens commander wields a giant hammer, and doesn't he show it. Special abilities literally shake the screen.

First off, moving Space Marines around and making them blow and carve those space twats the Eldar into bits carries a real impact. Let's back up and go through why I think Dawn of War 3 feels great to play. Elements of the base-building and big armies of Dawn of War 1, and elements of the micro-managed heroes of Dawn of War 2, combine to form an immensely satisfying real-time strategy that, based on a couple of playthroughs of a late-campaign mission, feels as weighty and as punchy as any game based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe should, with a zing and responsiveness inspired by the PC's most popular games that emerged in the seven years since Dawn of War 2 came out.Д«ut this concern about the game's new look just won't go away - and with good reason, too. I've played Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 3 for a couple of hours now, and can happily report that it's bloody brilliant.Дawn of War 3 is a fusion of the first two Dawn of War games.
