i came here cause some guy called the russian badger asked alimir to add a COMICLLY LARGE SPOON to the game, so he did...
and boy let me tell ya, out of all the games badger showcased, this is the best by far

probably the game with the best licensed OST since NFS UNDERGROUND, and sadly the last after that...

weve won guys, time to show your support to arrowhead and to the game.
but keep an eye on the sony automatons-they may try to strike in the future...

this game is got alot better then its launch, i do like the idea of having troopers who are essentially bots running with me when i carry resource pods, the game itself is fun

but its still got a VERY VERY LONG road before coming close to being a complete game

the game is more or less solid, theres decent - amount of content, but the multiplayer alot plays better then cod with me exsperiencing zero packet bursts\losses compared to the sh** activision runs its servers on.

BUT THEN AGAIN EA SAID SEASON 7 WILL BE THE LAST MAJOR CONENT ADDITION TO THE GAME AKA THE GAME IS DEAD AND THE DEVS MOVED ON SO I DONT THINK ITS WORTH THE BUY SINCE MOST OF THE COMMUNITY WILL PEEL OFF IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO OTHER TITLES.....

i honestly did not expect for it to be such a good game! its great!

for instance ill always give a thumbs up to a game that tries its very best to not limit what im capable of building and deploying in battle.
unlike stupid unit limits or fleet limits like most boring space strategy games where they force you to make the most with what you got, here you are only limited by the resource and industrial capacity that you have

for instance each system has a certain amount of resources, but dont worry if they run out because that system will still produce resources even when depleted(albeit alot less per turn for obvious reasons), and there are buildable resource generators for exactly these situations.

you can have as many ships as you like per fleet and have how many fleets you want- youre only limited by the amount of resources you get and how fast you can produce resources- and id really want to thank the devs for that, for giving the player the freedom to play as he chooses- theres also a design maker where you can create combinations of vessels like combat repair ships or missile spammers, whatever role you need you can create a ship for it

combat is relatively straight forward but there are twists- for instance you can harvest resources and produce new ships off screen during battles and have them jump in to assist or call in bombers from adjecent systems to attack the enemy- that is really new and a neat idea- i just wished the AI would use it as well

and speaking about the AI- it is relentless, it does a very good job at providing a challange even on normal difficulty and that is something rare to be able to say these days on a strategy game

sure the tech tree is limited, sure theres not alot to build in the systems you own, but the basis for this game is very strong and i hope it will continue tp expand in the future for the game absolutely deserves to be a best seller

one of the top 5 STARWARS games ever, and the modding scene is keeping this game alive and well for almost 20 years.

battles can be waged both on the ground and in space, you can build buildings that grant you additional units per planet and usually the AI is doing a decent job at putting up a fight.

theres also a campaign for the rebels and empire, that follows around the time of the construction till the death of the first deathstar and there are plenty of hero units that are tough to kill and can turn the tide of battles - and changin on where they are in the battle they can either be in a vehicle if its space battles or on the ground personally in ground battles

mods that i personally can recommend are:
THRAWNS REVENGE
REPUBLIC AT WAR
ABSOLUTE ENHANCMENT MOD\ABSOLUTE CHAOS MOD

also the game is easily modded, so if you find the unit limits a bit stifening, want to field more units in general or want to have more money, there are tutorials how the bypass and change these- just keep in mind that applies to you and the AI

overall an absolute must for any fan and anyone that loves strategy games

imagine if they took parts of shogun TW, black & white and a casual D&D game and fused it into one- and you get this game.

the game is fun and addictive, theres an extensive modding community, you can choose from many cultures each with their own roster of infantry units and recruitable commanders-and theres even a nation generator for you to create your own nations as a mod.
each map can be randomized, the spells feel great and theres a huge diversity of spells and items you can craft for your heros-ranging from trinkets that give bonuses to armor, speed, ect to armor that makes the unit ethereal, to a crown that gives mortals the ability to command undead units, to a two handed flaming sword that automaticlly casts fireballs at enemies- the game is very deep in term of content

also dont know why people here say the ai is lackluster, the ai gave me a really hard time on difficult level.

overall a very fun game and one of my top strategy games ever-highly recommended

boring basic and bland. and now to top it all off it cant even run or even start properly

its just a single big map with very unimaginitive factions like "the civilian faction" or the "security faction" its like nobody really even tried, theres a story but its so interesting you might start wondering what else there is to do with your life in the middle and find yourself going for it instead of sitting through the story

would have been able to give it an actual score, but since in cant even start nowadays i cant rate it- just go play avorion or x4 instead

buy this because ultimate apocalypse mod and the unification mod are the best wh40k experiences youll probably ever have, UA mod has more content then DOW1+2+3+4 when itll arrive combined

just remember to use the patch that gives soulstorm exe the ability to use 4 gbs ram instead of 2 cause otherwise the game will crash when playing these mods
