Anyone else ridiculously excited about the next installment in the DoW series? ^__^

Winter Assault was fun, but still a bit of a disappointment, Dark Crusade will introduce not one, but two new races into the game! The Evil, heartless Necron (who you fight at the end of Winter Assault) and the optimistic Tau, one new unit for all existing races and a new type of turn based strategic campaign.

Some people are wondering if the game will be very unbalanced with 7 different races, but I have faith that Relic can pull it off.

I've played the demo and the Tau are a LOT of fun! The mix of Tau and kroot int he same race is a pretty interesting one, with two different tech trees. Almost like adding 3 races into the game :D The demo is available for download here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/war ... loads.html

Finally a DoW fan! My thread doesn't die! :p Yeah I agree, Winter Aassault was a bit of a dissapointment but I'm very optimistic about Dark Crusade. You like Tau or Necron more? I'm a Tau player no doubt "For the greater good!" :D

indeed i have always wanted to play as a fire warrior ever sice the FPS game of the same name, and the necrons i think have always looked cool( very minimalistic and advanced)  still Orks will conquer the galaxy though :D
