Bay 12 Games Forum

Cover is now an indestructible mystic bubble of energy building you stand inside. We've gone from DoW 1's map built cover to magic cover blobs. They aren't even trying anymore.

I guess the way respawns work is you just queue up spawns into your drop pods at your base and then they.....magically launch back into orbit before coming back down on the battlefield?

I didn't watch the PC Gamer thing they did a couple months ago, but have they shown anything to do with lords and politics? This video showed that there were some definite improvements to city\castle management but nothing really new when it came to lordly shenanigans.

Always seemed strange that no new wannabe lords would show up and that old lords would remained relatively unchanged (besides holdings) even if 50 years went by. Not to mention kings constantly feasting, no one every actually getting married despite months of courtship, and new realms never forming without player guidance, etc. Might be spoiled by Crusader Kings 2 and am expecting too much, but I would hope something is planned.

Edit: Found this. Definitely better than what the system used to be at the very least.

Ugh, why did I bother getting this game? I know it won't be any good and will be buggy on release and the entire reason I got it is for "Multiplayer" that won't be available in a worthwhile fashion.

I should just refund on the spot.

There is nothing of value in this game for me... It is Empire Total War all over again... When Medieval Total War was my favorite (and to this date... still the "best" experience I had with the series... Well Medieval 2 total war)

10 a.m., according to 10 seconds of googling.

I wonder if this means that we're going back to pre-made maps rather than Rome 2's "play-on-whatever-you're-on" thing.

As for fighting the Eldar, they seem to be extremely vulnerable to ramming, too. And targeting the engines is also a good choice.
