![]() If they don't, they may interest you if you're a long-time Starcraft fan. I've been playing the Dawn of War series for a while and I f***ing love it. Basically, it's an RTS based in the world of Warhammer 40,000 (which I suspect most of you may only know about because of its intense similarities to Starcraft, even though it came first) - one which features alot of the playable factions from said universe. It has similar elements to Starcraft, like the Necrons having only one kind of building which builds units and grows larger to unlock more units (along with supplemental structures being built, some of which contain upgrades) and the Dark Eldar having structures which build themselves without needing a worker unit to stick to them 'til they're done.
However, there are three key differences besides the setting:
Even if you're not a big 40k fan, I'd still recommend 'em. Makes for a nice change from Starcraft - and the storylines and campaign modes are a lot of fun too - and proof that you can make a game with good gameplay and a great story at the same time.

![]() To be fair, if you are a fan of 40k the stories in DoW are pretty bad too. And the voice acting is awful.
METAL BAWKSES! A librarian/chapter master falling to the temptations of the chaos God.. Khorne. A governor of a planet under the Blood Ravens control saying no to said chapter when they want their super weapon made. The eldar, renowned for seeing the future, fail to see that the Blood Ravens win the war.
