Dawn of War 3 is as good and fun game as Dawn of War 1.
It simply suffers from a fuckload of assravaged baddies who never played DoW online, starcted the MP because they thought high of themselves and got probed by anally probed by 3 dicks at once with no lube.
Most of the complaints about the game talk about stuff that is actually in the game, they just don't know about it.

And yeah, the baalcned could use some work but it's light-years ahead of either of the previous DoW games in this regard.

>>378633753
what are you trying to say, anon?

>>378635510
I don't think it has a counter. Arty units outrange turrets.

>>378635975
arty tends to be the counter for turrets/towers in every game

logic says that rushing arty with fast cheap units would be the counter to them but my experience is that seraph arty just laughs and kills them too

>>378636135
..Because of the commander.

well, unless you micro them to dodge hard, but that point the enemy is free to do whatever because you need to put more resources(=attention) to beating the arty spam

Probably energy stalling.

>>378636854
meh, it's OK until you realise the tech trees are linear and the game becomes "set building waypoints to the enemy's base and just produce more units than they can defend against".

Age of Empires II had more strategy

>>378636854
Rise of Nations always seemed like a worse Empire Earth to me. I liked them both though.

gee i wonder

so i've been playing AI war fleet command lately, and goddamn, the game feels really unique.

The fact that you are outnumbered and you need to be careful as to how you attack changes the usual dynamic of "amass army and steamroll the enemy" RTS usually have. Also i love all the tactical options the game offers, and i'm wondering when will the dlc kick in since i'm just doing a begginer game.

Remasters are pure shit served to idiots.
Are you one of them?

Just look at what it did to AoE.
Microsoft decided to invest a bunch into their oldd RTS IPs.

AoE fans were idiots so they got a shitty remaster.
Halo Wars people got a sequel with the best developers, graphics and cinematics money can buy today.

AoE2HD is teh reason there is no AoE4 and ti rub salt in the wound, the piece of shit didn't even work correctly for a couple of years.
AoMHD does not work to this day.

I mean, they renamed it from 4 to Online during development but it is still AoE4.
Heck, it even shits on AoE2 in my opinion, but I'm one of the "faulty" ones who don't suck that game's dick and prefer AoM.
So what do I know, right?

It was internally produced as AoE4.

Parts of it were changed to get on with the F2P fad at the time but a lot of the underlying game was truly based on an attempt to make a next game in the series.

Like the home cities which make a return albeit in a different form, return to the Ancient Era (yes, that one picture of 4 and 5 was there to fuck with people, just read the Ensemble interviews), the UI inherited from the last AoE3 expansion, nations that are completely different as per the RTS norm, endless farms but with the return of drop points compared to AoE3, and so on.

And as long as you remove myth units (I know, such a "small" change), you get the exactly same kind of game out of AoM.
Basically it's AoM everything but the myth stuff which was great for a setting not so much the gameplay as the regular units fell completely behind the myth ones.

Steam reviews are complaining about Steam being fucking jews again. Releasing old games at a premium price and they don't even work on a modern machine.

If you want to buy it, get the GoG version. It works and you can add it as a non-Steam game if you want the Steam overlay. It's cheaper and it will actually run, unlike the Steam one.

Anyway, the game is a better Cossacks, plain and simple. Unless you hate ACW, you should enjoy it.

There aren't an abundance of ~20m games, and that's ludicrous for an RTS that's supposed to come as diverse. Supcom FA matches can last 10m for a 1v1.

More RTS like CoH?

>>378636681

I picked the game up in a sale like 3 month ago, only started playing it a week ago.

I only just won a skirmish match after save scumming like a motherfucker on assistant difficulty.

At this rate, the DLC would've been on sale for a good 2 years before I feel ready for it.

>>378651143

There is a reason why I stopped playing MP games and decided to pursue other things in life.

>>378651143

>>378651143
Only retards play the "vs AI" option. I know it because I was in the same situation, until I've tried proper MP. I'm not guaranteeing that you will get proper teammates in MP either, but they would at least try to win the game, instead of sitting on their base with 7 squads doing nothing.

>>378639702
The Torrent is awesome against bases, but sucks against anything mobile. Enemy ships can just zip right up, give it a bear hug and sink it without ever taking a hit. Subs will blow it right out of the water.

The pre-fix splash radius on their missiles was absurd.

>>378651428
>PvP with randoms

I got 2 afks in a row just last week against the same enemy team.

The enemy team that trash talked me in the first game legit felt sorry for me.

reminder that if it doesn't have random maps, it isn't an RTS

reminder that "buh buh buh RANDOM IZ UNFAIR!!!!" isn't an argument and that programmers are smarter than you and it's pretty easy to create maps that have random resource distribution but statistically give no advantage to any one player

>>378651907
>RTS maps being big enough where random/permanent distribution matters
Gross.

>>378651907
The only 3 games where that worked is Cossacks, AoE and Rise of Nations, all of them have vast progression mechanics that are more suited for 4x than RTS.

>>378651143
>there will never be an RTS where comfy basebuilding is a viable strategy

>>378651907
I agree but only when high level players are at stake.
Knowing a map very well means easy win for such player.
