The problem with DoW2 for players of the current DoW (with expansions) was "Why would I want to play a game that has fewer races compared with what I have now?". Sure the graphics look a little better, but if that was it, then personally I wouldn't really see the attraction. I just haven't seen or heard anything about what they 'improved' beyond the graphics, except some vague comment from the lead developer about elements they used and improved upon from CoH, but as I haven't played that game yet, it didn't really mean anything to me.

Now they've shown us a new race, the Tyranids, buying DoW2 will be worth it for that feature alone ;-)

I'm curious if the modding community will be able to quickly import the older DoW models into the new game, that way we could have the best of both worlds...
