Goddamn, Dawn of War has to be the most epic and awsome RTS Ive ever played. Ive been playing the Dark Crusade expansion, and the 2 new armies it adds friggin rule.
The Necrons, walking metal skeletons, containing the souls of a long dead civilization from billions of years ago, that were awoken during exploration of new planets. They hate everything thats alive, and once everything is dead, they can go back to sleep. Their base can be upgraded into the MONOLITH, with is a hovering pyramid of death that can fire tons of lasers and a gigantic explosive beam from the huge crystal on top.
The Tau. Only race in 40k to be happy, and nice. They venture out to other races and ask them to join their big universal group so everyone can co-exist in peace. "For the greater good" Problem is the humans go "KILL THE HERETIC, PURGE THE UNCLEAN, BURN THE ALIEN, ALL GLORY TO THE EMPEROR!!", and most other races have the same reaction. "OMG they want peace? It must be a trap! Kill them all!" They specialize in long range combat, but they do have some good up close units. They have lots of big mechs to use, and their commander unit looks alot like that cyborg dude from Appleseed. I cant remember his name.
I love being able to customize your colors for your army too, like what I did with thoe guys I posted. Plus alot of the voices in the game are done by DBZ and Beast Wars guys. Hearing Dinobots snarling and yelling "DEATH TO ALL WHO OPPOSE US!", before sending 10 guys frlying through the air is pretty cool.
