We've been playing Dawn of War recently, and it's pretty ace. We were playing 1.00, but having checked out what all the patches do, and finding that as well as adding some nice features (Observer mode and persitent dead bodies being my faves), 1.30 and 1.40 also include a raft of balance fixes. I'm much in favour of playing the game the developers feel is right, so I upgraded to 1.40. They've hosed Eldar! :) In 1.00, you could go straight for the Fire Prism aspect stone, couldn't you? I'm pretty sure I did. Now you have to research Jet Bikes (crap) and Wraithlords (egglike) first. Bah. I haven't tested it, but apprently they've lowered the jump range on them too :( Oh well.
Anyway, anyone got thoughts on the changes? Make the game better or worse, in your opinion? How many people are likely to want a game at the next LAN (I know Phizz and Caveman are big into it)? What build orders do you use? Discuss!

mutter grumble, goddamn FP, fucking n00b cannons. Damn right they toned it down. :)
Persistant bodies sounds like a laugh though.

I'm not reading good things about Winter Assault though, so I'm gonna pass on it until a few patches have come out.

Winter Assault has some really cool extras mostly the Baneblade. :-D also AI is severely increased. Wish I could play it at the mo'.

What's betting Ming plays two rounds and starts hammering us all? =P

He makes me scared of RTS games.
