Now this may sound a little odd but just imagine it for a minute. The total war engine. You do the resource management and base building and all that on another screen, and than the battles will have thousands of men in the, cities, jungles, plains, deserets, ect. you could have massive trench battles with thousands of men charging bolter emplacemets, and pill boxes! you could get like 20 artillery peices and tons of tanks! It would be awsome! It would focus less on squad and company size battles, to battalions, regiments, and divisions! Except for the marines, loyalist and chaos, they would have to fight still with less the 1000 men, but the chaos could get hordes of cultists.

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

Nah I wreckon it would be pretty crap if it were like the Total War Games it just wouldn't be Dawn Of War and the graphics would have to be worse for a lot of peoples computers to run and the squad based tactics would be removed, and that is one of the best parts about the game, plus it would be hard to upgrade all your heavyweapons and crap. Plus you couldn't reinforce you men back to the squads.

Even though Total War Games are amazing, not quite as good as Dawn Of war though. :p

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

You might be right, but its still cool to imagine a game where you get to see thousands of guradsmen, preferably Krieg Death korps, charging a no mans land, filled with corpses and barbed wire with tons of bombs going off everywhere, a hail of bolter fire cutting them down as they go, and ending in a bloody hand to hand confrontation in the enemy trench.

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

You both know that the coh essence engine is capable of producing mass numbers of unit's and uhmm about the total war engine that would just be costly because they would have to liscense it from another gaming company you two don't worry if anything the essence engine will kick a** just imagine destroyable buildings real 3d interactive objects i.e stairs, ground,poles,trees. Map makers are gonna have a field day with this.(if an editor does come out)

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

OK, I'm never gonna' worry lol. :)
I supose it would be good to see lots of people charging whilst being blown sky high by mines. But anyway I think they should have the campaign where you have to take over all pieces of land to win but also they should have a few 'storylined' campaigns cause that was pretty cool.

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

I would like to see more death anims for each kind of attack, and i might like a destructible environment

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

If I was making the next game it would be something like this

DAWN OF WAR 2: The Tyranid Wars

Would have a random map generator.
Would have a integrated Map Maker.
Would have the option to have larger maps.
Garrisonable Buildings(like C&C)
Scripted Single Player Map Options(like ork invasion, defend the town, etc.).
Destroyable terrian.
New map types like starship, asteroid, and hulk(would have unit restrictions)
TYRANIDS(like the mod for DC but better).
BLOOD PACK(Imperium gets 2, why not chaos?).
Air Units(Would come in three types, Controllable transport, Airstrike, and controllable air unit that would leave when timer ran out or destroyed).
Better Turrents and buildable bunkers(tougher but more expensive).
More Units(SM Bikes, Chaos termies, etc.)
TITANS(Not to scale but big and scary, max one, staggeringly expensive)
LONG camps with tons of cutscenes and cool scripted missions but with risk like maps (think DC) but on a larger scale with multiple planets.
Have the option to play risk like conquer the planet, then the galaxy for MP with saves(like Empires at War and Rise of Nations II).
Players havingthe ability to modify each and every unit like Mark of Chaos and choose their weapons and abilities, Like the way you could choose your upgrades for the SM Predator in the first DoW.
Make Vehicles stay destroyed on the battlefield like infantry units.
Allow players to select the amount of resource stratigic points give, build times, and other game attributes so they can customize their maps to a greater extent(like Rise of Nations II).

Lastly I want the option to create my own campaigns. A nice built in very simple campaign builder that allows me to create my own conquer the galaxy map and put the maps I want to represent each territory, as well as write the story and choose the unit bonuses and perks each territory gives.

Will we get a game like this? Maybe. If we can get a game like Oblivion we can get a game like this, just hope they don't give us a game with mildly improved graphics, a few new units, a crappy cutscene, and charge 49.99 for it.:nodding:

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

This is not quite dawn of war 2, but, a call of duty style warhammer 40,000 game would be awsome!

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

Better AI because now it sometimes sucks getting a larger force through tight spots like city streets.

Re: Im just saying in dow2....
 

LordTurin you've really thought about this lol some excellant ideas. ;)
