igototal.blogg.se - Warhammer 40k ultimate apocalypse mod

I’m better than most of my friends when it comes to RTSs, but then none of my friends have the same history with the genre as I do. I like those drawn-out matches in RTS games that can only really take place between amateurs – my opponent, the turtle, versus me, the boomer. I am very much a casual gamer. “Glad that’s over!” Then they realise that while my troops were en-route and buffeting their walls and towers, I was beavering away preparing the second wave. When I play AoE II, AoM, Rise of Nations, Supreme Commander, Planetary Annihilation, or Civ (to name a few) online or over LAN (yup, LAN parties still happen!), I gain the ultimate satisfaction from having an economy so superior to my opponent that I can afford to smash hordes of troops against their own armies and defences.

I have a thing for base-building, empire-creating, and snowballing.

Installation – how to get this running yourself.

Verdict – why Ultimate Apocalypse brings me back to DoW 13 years after its release.

Ultimate Apocalypse – an introduction to the mod.

This post is quite long, so for your benefit, it has this structure: (How else does a 12 year old make that decision?) Check out a review by Old Man Mordaith over on his blog he’s not a long-time player of RTSs and neither has he played either of the prequels, so it’s as close as you can get to a clean slate from a game reviewer. That said, it’s good to cast a fresh pair of eyes over these things. The original DoW holds a special place in my heart as a Warhammer 40K table-top hobbyist.ĭawn of War III was much-awaited but saw mixed reception. They don’t live up to the base-building and scale of the battles found in the roots of the series. Dawn of War: Ultimate Apocalypse and some of its companion mods are more than a match for later iterations of this title.
