Musopticon? Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060130/lam008.html So, two new races(supposedly), inlcuding the Tau. New singleplayer and multiplayer material und updated tools. Anyone else in? Edit: Personally, I'd prefer the second race to be the Tyranids, but considering Winter Assault's ending, it's most likely the Necrons. Eh, suits me fine. Best idea would be to do like AoE 3 did and give the races who have different factions(Orders, etc) some kind of mercenary buildings, from which they could hire other faction's units(Grey Knights, Maleficarum). I really don't know wht to think if they decide to add Dark Eldar. <_< Edited January 31, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Llyranor Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 One of the DoW devs said that Tyrannids will never be in any DoW xpac. Maybe a sequel. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Nick_i_am Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I have never played the tabletop game, everything I know about 40k is from DoW (not even the expansion), but these Tau look pretty cool. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Musopticon? Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Tau are cool, yeah. Conquering the galaxy for Greater Good. Some of the art looks like soviet propaganda. :D kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Jumjalum Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 This wins the 'unexpected news of the year' award. I hope they can manage to make a decent stab at balancing 7 races and it doesn't turn into a paper-scissors-rock matchup where you've already lost at the start of the game. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
WITHTEETH Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I'm playing DoW right now actually. This is good news because i like the game! Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
zer"0" Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah, I was also mildly surprised at this news. Winter Assault must have sold well for THQ this past season. Balancing seven races will be crazy though. Still, good news. What with "SW:Empire at War" and "LotR:BFMEII" and this it looks to be a good year for PC RTSs'.
Deraldin Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah, I was also mildly surprised at this news. Winter Assault must have sold well for THQ this past season.

What with "SW:Empire at War" and "LotR:BFMEII" and this it looks to be a good year for PC RTSs'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On top of those two you can also keep an eye out for C&C: The First Decade, War Angels, the Act of War expansion and a couple others that I can't remember right now. Anyway, I'm mildly intrigued now about Dawn of War since they are adding Tau. I have a small Tau army of miniatures and thought they were damn cool. I'll wait till the come out with a special edition with all three though. "
Jumjalum Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 How can you forget Medieval 2 Deraldin? We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Deraldin Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 How can you forget Medieval 2 Deraldin? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not coming till Q4. All the ones I mentioned are arriving before the summer. Once M:TW2 get's a little closer to release then I'll add it to the list. As it is, that list is pretty full with releases in the first half of this year. "
Kaftan Barlast Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I wish they would make a proper, turnbased computer version of Wh40k that perfectly replicated the gameplay of the tabletop game. Sadly, that will never happen since it would put GW out of bussiness as noone would buy the figures anymore. And Im definently not geeky or patient enough to buy and paint an army of figures in order to play tabletop DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Nartwak Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Man, converting and painting the miniatures is half the fun. Edited February 1, 2006 by Nartwak

Beyond that old one they released in like 1995? Anyway I suppose GW could reap some pretty big bucks to offer the game in MMO where you would have to pay to play online battles and to purchase expansions.

Darque Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Battletech is awesome Shame Microsoft holds the PC rights
Deraldin Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Battletech? Sounds familiar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Battletech = Warhammer equivalent in the mechwarrior universe.
