If you could build one squad, say Stormtroopers, and put it up against anything bar the big units and come out on top, there'd be no reason to build anything else once you had access to them, ruining the frantic line of counter and counter, in battle and build. They have units that are rather strong against pretty much everything, but they're considered the units that if your opponent gets them onto the field, they have a huge advantage that would give them victory anyway (Avatar, Greater Unclean One, to a lesser extent Assault Terminators). That big pretty Fire Prism may have cost you 450 req and 100 or so power, but a lascannon getting rear armor on it will drag it down in a shot or two.īuidling a single squad as strong anti-anything would be detrimental to this system. This is one of the primary reasons that some who liked DoW1 didn't like DoW2, because there's less room for mistakes, especially when it comes to vehicles. It's very rare a unit will beat it's hard counter, and then it's really only if it can gain a significant advantage in some way.
The Dawn of War 2 system exists on hard counters, designed to punish those who don't stay alert, keep up-to-date knowledge of their enemy, as well as constantly adapting and keeping a heavy 'micro' during battle.
But Relic don't like more than one special weapon in a squad. I'd still have liked to see more, like maybe a special weapons squad as strong anti-anything. Darkvoidof40k wrote:light on the infantry, it would seem, even though they have roughly as many choices as other races.
