Definitely if you want the armada, either for band-boxing (selecting everything and right-clicking the enemy) and washing over the enemies, or a micro style army, you'll have those options available to you through the 'Nids. But as a result that also means that since there's only one guy, more of their rewards tend to focus around the army unlocks, and there tend to be more of those army builder unlocks available to them.
" have only got the one hero," says Dan, "which was partly done for story reasons and for the nature of the 'Nids, which are meant to be much more swarmy. At the end of each mission, you get to choose from rewards that include Wargear for your hero, new units for your army, or upgrades to those army units that you can then grant them in the field. What you can build in the field depends on what you've unlocked in the Army Builder, a persistent roster of the units you have access to. They cut through the shonky Ork hardware like bone through butter, and he completes the mission. So he rebuilt it rather differently: no squads, just three lumbering Carnifexes, each taking up as much of his population limit as 30 lesser creatures. Leveling up will unlock new abilities for your heroes as well as increasing traits like damage, health, rate of fire.At one point Dan's strength-in-numbers army was smashed by an Ork force heavy on the vehicles. Between missions you'll be able to load out your squad with what you picked up, cash out useless items for experience and level up your characters. Anyone familiar with an MMORPG will be right at home with rare, unique and regular items colored to designate just how cool they are. While every mission rewards you with items like weapons, armor and secondary attacks you'll also find random drops of items from enemies. Speaking of items, RPG nuts are going to have a field day with Dawn of War 2. These battles are time sensitive, meaning that choosing one battle over another may cause you to miss a unique item or resource.Ĭoordination is key to any attack in Co-Op The missions are launched from a strategic map which players pick and choose battles. Whatever your squads speciality is, you'll find yourself with a choice of deciding which ones to bring into a particular mission. He can be ranged with heavy guns, or up close and personal with a chainsaw. Your hero, like these squads, is also flexible with his type. Some squads are better at carrying heavy weapons and laying down cover fire, others are assault marines capable of using jet packs to launch into battle. Each squad is led by a hero unit who has their own unique personality and part in the story. You see, Dawn of War 2 isn't your traditional RTS - in fact I'd say it shares more in common with an Action RPG like Diablo, and just like any solid action RPG Dawn of War 2 offers a co-op experience.ĭawn of War 2 has you creating a hero to lead three squads of space marines into battle. But it wasn't long into Dawn of War 2's campaign for me to become completely invested in the game's story, and find myself fully invested into the well being of my squads. I'll admit I'm a latecomer to the Warhammer 40k Universe, as such, I don't know every intricate detail regarding the humans epic battle against Orks and the various other races that litter the game.
