There are three available races, Space Marines, Eldars and Orcs. All three fractions have the same goal, which is to invade the planet Archeon and find powerful weapon that is hidden there before other groups achieve it.
Each group has different units, heroes, special abilities, and of course structures. Also, each class has one unique machines: imperial knight for space marines, wraithknight for eldars, and gorkanaut for orcs.
These machines have their own extra abilities that have huge impact on the battles. Warhammer Dawn of War III contains all the best features from previous versions and that is why this game is probably the best part of the series so far. There are couple of things that you might have seen already if you played other Warhammer games.
For example, building mechanism is borrowed from the first version of the game and that means players need to build power generators and capture resource points on the map.
That is the main factor when it comes to recruiting units or constructions. And of course multiplayer, which is divided on two different modes.
Were you a fan of those games it's difficult to envisage you being disappointed, certainly if you intend to play the game online. If, however, you prefer a more considered approach to tactics and strategy and a singleplayer campaign that will take more than a couple of days to exhaust, then perhaps it would be best to try something else. Dawn Of War is distinct and individual, it looks amazing, but it's no Total War. The Latest edition of the Warhammer 40, rulebook is a weighty tome; pages of background info, racial statistics, to-hit modifiers and all manner of vehicle, weapon and spell stats - enough to send those unfamiliar with Games Workshop's tabletop battle system running for the hills.
Of course, this excludes the small library of supplementary Codex manuals -one each for the main combatants, the many dozens of novels and, of course, the monthly hot-fixes applied via the ever-present White Dwarf magazine. It wouldn't be stretching the truth to say that, apart from Tolkien's, George Lucas's and our own, few worlds have been so mapped, written about and fought over as those which play host to humanity's struggle in the 41st millennium.
Yet as you may already be aware, distilling this wealth of information into something more interactive has been a thankless task for a number of games developers over the years; most, if not all of the more memorable efforts being direct translations of the tabletop hobby. But these titles have never fully realised the universe in which they're set. This is because, in faithfully minimising the exhaustive rules for a smaller playing field, they've generally ended up as convenient revisions of the real thing, their exclusive benefit being that you don't have to invest time and money in a lead army to play them.
In transposing the strategy of Warhammer 40, from tabletop to desktop, Dawn Of War developer Relic has approached things differently and focused more on the iconic imagery that punctuates the rulebook, rather than the rules themselves. Moving from a turn-based model to the antithesis of real-time - meaning whole chapters have been ruthlessly culled - is a brave step sure to irk the purists.
However, after we finally managed to distract ourselves from painting the miniature figures to actually play Dawn Of War, we reckon even the most battle-hardened tabletop trialists would be lying if they weren't impressed by the visuals. Here, for the first time we get to witness the true brutality of the 40K universe. You gawp in wonder at squads of Space Marines unloading their bolters into ranks of advancing Orks, dreadnoughts with power saws slicing through crowds of melee troops and whirlwind missile launchers peppering the landscape.
Before, you needed dice and a tape measure to appreciate the camage. However, not only is Dawn Of War the most visually impressive game ever with the Warhammer moniker, it's certainly the most violent. Indeed, few first-person shooters offer as much in-yer-face gore -when you slow down the action, it's almost balletic as arteries are opened, drenching the screen in arcs of claret. In terms of the gameplay on offer, Dawn Of War isn't quite as distinctive.
Resource management is kept to a minimum, with points earned through capturing and holding victory locations. The more locations you hold, the quicker your points rack up and the more units and structures you can bring into play.
That aside, the mechanics of the game will be familiar if you've played a RTS in the last few years. Warcraft III is the closest in scope and setting, as upgrades to current units and ever more devastating units become available as your field base expands with new and upgraded buildings. But of course, this being Warhammer, it's the units themselves rather the manner in which they come into play that's most important - and we have to say that we've rarely enjoyed such a diverse spread.
Of course, the Space Marines are the main attraction being the stars of the single-player campaign. Then there are the regular troops that can be upgraded to include devastator missile launchers, plasma rifles, heavy bolters and flamers; as well as the close-combat assault marines with their jetpacks that enable troops to leapfrog from the rear to get straight into the action.
Later on come the awe-inspiring Terminators - lumbering marines in power armour that can decimate anything that gets in their way. Then there are the vehicles: dreadnoughts, rhino APCs, land speeders, whirlwinds and predator tanks - all as detailed as if they'd come straight from a glass display cabinet. Relic certainly hasn't skimped on the three extra races that become playable in the multiplayer game either, with the Ork, Eldar and Chaos forces each as detailed and offering the same depth in unit variety as the headlining act.
The crude machinery of the Ork hordes is perfectly at odds with the sleek gravity-defying tanks and striding dreadnaughts of the Eldar forces. Then there are the sinister and murderous Chaos legions, spearheaded by cannon fodder Cultists and supported by Demons and Space Marines now twisted and turned against the Imperium. It's difficult to single out any of the four races as having an obvious advantage on the field of battle.
While the Eldar have the speed and the Imperials excel at close combat, each side has the ability to counter whatever the enemy is able to side against them. On paper, the Orks are weakest, a disadvantage made up for by their versatility and the numerical advantages they bring to bear. Meanwhile, the Chaos forces, though lacking the close-combat punch of the Space Marines, can at least callously employ Cultists to act as a buffer while they ready their awesome array of long-range firepower.
Although the preview build played here only features a handful of nearcomplete single-player missions, there are hints that Relic has a number of surprises in store. The full storyline is still under wraps, but there are a number of units available in the solo campaign that won't be allowed into the multiplayer arena - squads of Imperial Guards being just one example we spotted. Currently, the Al in places appears simplistic, inconsistently so - a clear indication that this aspect is still being worked on.
However, it's disappointing that you can't occupy any buildings, cover instead coming from craters and trees. The recent Ground Control II handled this aspect brilliantly, allowing you to select which direction you wanted your troops to cover. It's a system Relic could have borrowed from to add an extra dimension to the combat. That said, the impact and pace of Dawn Of War is far more immediate and frenetic. The finished version promises to be a fast-paced, ultra-violent RTS, sure to widen the appeal of what is perhaps one of the most underrated science fiction realms ever conceived.
Having played it extensively online and off, we're confident that Dawn Of War is going to be the first Warhammer game to truly capture the essence of what has made the tabletop hobby such a global success.
To do so without referring to the extensive ruleset that's taken over 15 years to develop will be quite some achievement. As lifelong Games Workshop devotees will know, the battles waged across bedroom carpets are only part of the enjoyment of the Warhammer battle experience. Indeed, you only have to brush past your local GW shop or flick through the pages of the latest White Dwarf magazine to see how much effort is put into making each unit presentable - indeed, for some people, more time is spent painting and building than fighting.
Thankfully, the colouring-in process is much simpler in Dawn Of War, you simply pick a few shades and in seconds you have a ready-painted army. What's more, you can also import your own banners - so if you can think of something suitable with which to adorn my pink Space Marines, feel free to drop me a line.
Aged 18 months, Dawn Of War is still a looker, with its superbly detailed animations, excellent dialogue and voice-acting bringing the Warhammer universe to life like never before.
Still, the pacey action and some beautifully imagined units make the repetition all worth while, as does the plot, which morphs from tepid to scorching in the first few levels. Dawn Of War is by no means a fan-boy game, and if you've never even heard of Warhammer 40, - more than possible if you didn't fritter away your youth loitering around Games Workshop - you'll still find it more of a blast than a satchel full of TNT. Looks like Relic got sold to Sony, so this may or may not be Dawn of War's last hurrah.
