Ok, here is the thing. I would love to play DoW2, honestly I would, but I cannot because my computer doesn't meet the requirements, which I sadly found out after purchasing the game. I am currently playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and was looking at Soulstorm. Besides the two new races, is there any other reasons why I should get the game? I enjoy the Kronus campaign, is Soulstorm's Kurava campaign any good? The Sisters of Battle seems to be just female SM to me, is there a difference between the two? Dark Eldar also just appear to me as them remaking a race already in the game, and major difference between them and Eldar? Ok...I better stop before I bore you with more questions.

All I can say is that if you get it, just be aware that it has a bit more glitches than the other expansions. Its alright though, if you like Dawn of War all I can say is just get it if you want more out of your DoW1.

it's just two extra armies, The deathnuns are kinda fun if overpowered and the dark elder are ass. It's maybe worth picking up for like a fiver. Admitedly it's greatly improved with the tyranid mod!

I thought it was pretty crap, just because I didn't like the two new armies and flying units didn't really fit into my strategy (and were generally pretty useless), but it is slightly better balanced, from what I remember. It really depends on how much it is near you, I bought it for $40 AU and was pretty disappointed.
Upon arriving the attending doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. After spending several hours terrified that his body had been possessed by a demon, that his next door neighbor was a witch, and that his furniture was threatening him, Dr. Hofmann feared he had become completely insane.

I went out and bough it from a friend of mine who got DoW2, spent $5. The Campaign is ok I suppose and the Barracuda (Tau Flying Unit) seems to be the best of the flying units. Was stupid how they turned the scarabs into a flying unit only capable of attacking other fliers though.

Did they ever fix that bug where the campaign menu took about five minutes to load?

I find Flying units to be pretty good, esp for getting a quick strike on some maps.

It's alright, I find the campaign to be a hellhole at times (I.Hate.Necrons) but I find the Sisters of Battle fairly... weak at times. Granted it may just be my skill, the bugfix mod, or a combo of both, but when I go for ANY sort of defense strategy in a game, I get mushed!



Why does offense have to be the best defence =[
