So we're pretty well informed on that aspect. It's the multiplayer component that's still a big question mark.
Sounds interesting.

The resource acquisition quickly becomes irrelevant in Dawn of War (admittedly, I don't fight the AI on the higher levels- I am still a little more too "casual" for that).

I don't know if I like the RPG-like mechanics part with going on quests, but that depends on the actual implementation.

I really enjoyed Dawn of War, and own all supplements expansions. I also found the "Risk"-style campaigns in the last 2 expansions very nice for the replay factor, though I am also always a sucker for a "real" story-line in games, too. Command & Conquer (minus Generals) and Starcraft have been my favorites for that reason.
