I finally played the so-called best Warhammer 40k game

[@rumac16]

I'll tell you why this game was considered "the best" 40k game It brought me and a lot of people into the tabletop 40k

[@tobbe2363]

That combined with being a really solid game makes it a True gem

[@mrplaguedr.]

Well I think you should play Warhammer 40K Space Marine also another really good Warhammer game

[@Olowik.]

Man yea, i wanted to get into warhammer 40k some way, so tried to find good warhammer 40k games Found dawn of war franchise (dawn of war 3 is my favourite, i invite to discussion), found space marine, and got inspired to go into tabletop, its just fucking expensive but i already found my local community for tabletop games like warhammer 40k :D

[@atrj988]

Same here. This was my first exposure to the universe. And I fell in love with it.

[@tybaltmarr2158]

Pro-tip: teleport new units next to the relay, build them to full capacity, "embark" them into the rely. Congratulations you can now teleport a full squad of terminators. You can also shove dreadnoughts and regular marines into the relay and have them drop-pod in :D

[@tobbe2363]

That sounds like heresy to me! And not totaly badass!

[@GenJuhru]

In skirmish, I *rush* terminators and march them towards the enemy base, dropping new squads along their path, only reinforcing them when in combat otherwise prioritizing maxxing the infantry cap. And since it's not a 1v1, having your force commander as goalie (+scouts/cappers)

[@sebastianopedretti1496]

you can also embark terminators in chaper-barracks and teleport them - it saves relay transport capacity

[@penezu]

Damn.. you learn something new every day :D

[@maxhax367]

Ah yes. The game that dragged me into WH40k universe. Bought golden edition and Winter assault in like 2011 as part of strategy pack together with Supreme commander 2 and Company of heroes for a nice discount. At the time I just wanted Supreme commander, but for just double it's price I got 3 more games so why not. Well I got addicted to DoW and basically ignored the other 2. Got Dark crusade and Soulstorm soon after. And DoW2 with retribution and chaos rising in 2015. Also madness that was Space marine.

[@tobbe2363]

That is so good, i did the same with a star wars box, bought it for Empire at war and played the shit out of KotR instead haha.

[@tert75]

What stood out to me the most as a kid when I played this was that this was and still is the only RTS I've ever played where the flame thrower doesn't do anything to building.

[@tobbe2363]

Yeah i was kinda missing the whole building instantly exploding the moment flames come close like in C&C

[@gabiballetje]

This is such a great game. Sure, a lot has happened in RTS gaming since then, including it's basically dead now mostly, but this is great. With all the remakes going on, really, i want a remake of this, better models, better textures, better lighting, better terrain, with quality of life stuff, extra units, nids race, bigger single player campaigns map, that would make me play this much more again, every now and then i do.

[@tobbe2363]

I hade a great time with it for sure. Yeah its to bad that they dont make them anymore, but we do still have the good old ones, this one, C&C, Warcraft, empire at war, age of empires. Oh god yes, i would not say no to a remake

Technically, representative government and free trade are perfectly fine with the Imperium so long as you make your tithe on time. Equal treatment of psykers might be an issue though as psykers can be gateways for chaotic incursion. There's a reason the Imperium is very strict with its use and employment of psykers. Most will become food for Big E and a handful will become sanctioned psykers serving various Imperial officios and adepta. Some even end up becoming astartes and serve as librarians. At least in those chapters who embrace such things.

[@koncorde]

That cut scene was one of the first as-good-as-any-movie intros. Set a very high bar for animations thereafter, and credit to WH40K and Warhammer in general - their follow up games all had excellent intro videos that put everything before them to shame. The game itself was also great, although like yourself I often found I was a bit of a completionist, so by killing absolutely everybody second phases often didn't happen. I seem to recall the follow up games fixing that a bit.

[@thundersoul6795]

One of the reasons why the marines being the focus of the first game is... suboptimal, is that the orbital relay is a garrisonable structure - you can deduce it from the rhino mechanics (let's be real here, gamers and deduction rarely mix), or you can stumble upon having a different cursor icon with a compatible squad selected (but for that you have to pay attention - again, a relatively rare ability in the gamer population), but otherwise you'd have no idea that you're not actually supposed to just train and deploy fresh squads with it. The guard would've beeen a significantly better introductory faction, because most of their buildings can be filled with dozens of angry men with all sorts of guns, so the mechanic would be familiar instead of this odd thing in one structure.

Yeah it's generally considered a good idea to play the first two DoW before Dark Crusade or Soulstorm. So can master the games core mechanics and understand everything that is going on the future titles. But long term you want to play DoW Soulstorm and the mods make it even better. Soulstorm is the reason DoW is considered the best Warhammer 40k game BY FAR. The other ones that came after were not as successful and significantly lower player counts because they tried to focus on other gameplay elements that steered away from a traditional or REAL RTS format. Unless you are wanting to play through the story of one specific character or figure within Warhammer. There is no better way to portray the scope of Warhammer than RTS.

DoW - Dark Crusade was my introduction to the wh40k universe way back then. I still adore this game and i will always do, BUT comparing it to todays standard game wise even with the unification mod, it's just lacking. The controls feel rather clunky and the graphics... yeah, it doesn't look good anymore, the effects are partly looking so cheap that it kinda ruins the immersion. (at least for me) It's for sure one of the coolest RTS and with mods it's probably the most diverse wh40k game out there, but it's definitely the most overrated as well. Personally, i favor DoW 2 (Codex Edition Mod) much more, the only thing missing there are the finisher animations, which would be the icing on the cake. Hopefully - even after DoW 3 was such a flop - we will see the glorious rise of a DoW 4 one day!!
