Dawn of War Patch Thursday

The Relicnews Forums Thursday as the planned release date for a new version 1.4 patch for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (thanks Frans). Here word on the update, which will be available via the game's automatic function: "In Patch 1.4 we are addressing a few notable balance items, and we've also added Persistent Bodies and Decals! These options (accessible from the Graphics Options) allow you to control how long the bodies of the fallen warriors remain on the battlefield."

Persistent bodies will definitely be fun. I did get the feeling that there was also a bit of unbalance somewhere, but I could never quite put my finger on where.

This is one of those games that watching is almost as fun as playing. What a spectacle!

That doesnt make sense.

If you say you need to win every battle or you go under, that implies that if you win 4 battles, then lose the 5th, you're screwed. However, that would mean your opponent lost 4 battles but still managed to come back.

In my experience it can be hard to push, even if you win a battle, due to many heavy weapons having a setup time. Often losers will fall back to a defensive position, winners will chase, and get tore up by heavy weaponry because they ran headfirst into it without stopping to set up their own heavy weaponry.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "best rts". There isnt really a way of getting back into the game if you take a beating.

You need to win EVERY battle or you go under unfortunately. If the resource management was better then I would recommend this game but IMHO its OK but I still drift back to NWN when I see new fan made modules.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Relic makes RTS games like Bioware does RPGs. Can't wait for their next game.
