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.
