@televizor: You make your faction out of cards, those cards have different tiers so that a good deck goes from teir 1 to teir 4 well in just the same way that an RTS faction goes from teir 1 units upwards. The game even has resource gathering and defensive structures. To sum it up, it's an RTS where you decide the faction you play as.
Try it out for yourself before dismissing it. It's free to play and you get enough cards to try the game out.

As it stands, it's a great mix of Company of Heroes and Diablo/Dungeon Siege.

I'm on day 31 on Primach difficulty on Typhon - The last story mission I have is, well, the last one.
Biggest issue I have is the fact that the game is about as stable as a penny balanced on a needle tip, held by someone with parkinsons.
Multiplayer is a blast, though. Farseer forever!

I loved DoW series but all the mods are making me feel Relic is looking weak for never releasing Tyranids on the DoW1 engine. The lack of buildings seems a bit disappointing, and I play this all the time with friends on mass-scales of 4 on 4 matches and I'm curious if the multiplayer is actually fun to play with the lack of structures and such.

Hey, where are my Tau's? Guess we will have to wait for the expansions...

Because we don't need the same game over and over again...and DoW II may not be the same winning concept that CoH had...but trust me when I say its an all new winning concept.

While the first DOW was a good game, It still lacked a lot of the things that made the board-game so good. While It probably would have been stupid to make a direct conversion from the board-game it would have been nice to see more of a mix between the boardgame and Relics latest RTS games (company of heroes in particular). I don't think they should do more of the same, my opinion is that they should try and improve the cover system, have a armor, hit-sector and damage system for vehicles and give the game a overall more strategical, tactical feel that would have made it more that just a RPG-RTS or a RTS. Something of a mix between a RTS and a turn-based game.
Obviously from not having played the game yet it's stupid to give a rash judgement, but I just get the feeling that the game has been dumbed down and that adding "experience", "levels" and other RPG characteristics to the game does not do enough to improve that tactical depth, because in the end it's still the same low unit count, the (from what i've heard) shallow variety of different units and in general a game that seems to lack the tactical depth of even the previous game.
