MODERATORS
Dawn of War 1 & 2 were both great games in their own respective ways, then 3 came out and somehow combined the bad aspects of 1 & 2.
I remember. Relic saw that people generally liked the first game (and expansions) better but could not stick to a direction and came to an unsatisfying compromise between both. And because of that flop, we’re still resorting to modding DC and Soulstorm.
I’ve been holding onto hope for another shot with the successes of Space Marine 2, Darktide and Mechanicus showing that W40K has a future in games, but RTS as a genre has been mired for the past decade. Relic’s less than stellar reception with CoH3 hasn’t helped.
Personally, I think a campaign interface that's the Dark Crusade and Soulstorm campaigns combined with aspects of Total War (like unique buildings suited for that province, separate from the main RTS battle buildings) would be ideal. Could expand the scope to be multiple star systems to really get the "grand" scale.
And by guilds, do you mean Avatar Conquest from TW Shogun 2?
