The 40k Difference between DoW and DoW 2

Hello,
I've noticed many people who have just played the Dawn of War titles and not the table top games complain about DoW 2's setup for things.
Here's my thoughts:

I believe that Relic did a better job on 2 than DoW 1 because if you look at them in a 40k way, it's like this:

Dawn of War - Unique Strategy game.

Dawn of War 2 - Table top game brought to life in video game form.

If you play the table top game and then the weather gets bad or you're told to pack up your game, or if things get to confusing or boring, it's nice to have something to retreat to.

In DoW 2 there are no buildings or anything fancy like that. It's just get some guys and send them to kill the enemy who's doing the same. Buildings aren't something that you do on the table top game, you just control your army the whole way through. You don't build things apart from soldiers in Dawn of War 2, except turrets of course, which are sometimes on the table top game.

DoW 1, however, reminds my of Age Of Empires where you build your Barracks' and Armouries to improve your results. There are strategy points to capture and defend, which are on the table top game, but it's more of a choice thing on the table top game. You just ask your friend, "Hey, should we do objectives this time?", and whatever happens, happens.

Overall, it's nice to be able to decide; should I go without buildings and play DoW 2, or go with the buildings and points and stuff, and go with DoW 1.

Thanks, and bye!

Battlefield 3 Custom Front Cover

Hey guys,

Has To Be A Show.

Hey guys,
Today, i came up with this awesome idea where i take the best bit of an episode, and make it into an animation in whatever software works (probably Paint :P). Example;
I quickly put stuff in a chest.
Animated:
Mabeanie bolts into his house and slams his stuff into his chest.

Get it? So i exaggerate a certain bit in the episode, just to add abit of flavour and spice to it.
Meanwhile, you can watch this cool advert that i made a while back:
See ya!

Maybe Not...

Hey guys,
I have changed my mind from using the customiseable inventory mod for Season 2 of MwM and i will just be using the thirst mod. I have made a texture pack (still working on it) that you can download from (opens in new window) here (Mabeanie website) and there will also be some cinematics that i made a while ago.
Thanks see ya!

Poll Closed: Let's come up with some more ideas!

Hey guys,
The poll just closed a while ago and i have come up with some interesting ideas. First of all, the custom map is going to be Solitary Cubefinement. I have also decided to do this map using the Thirst Mod and the Customiseable Inventory Mod too. Apart from that i will be playing in Hardcore Mode to add some more exciting bits to the series. If you have any ideas that i could use for this series to make it more Hardcore than it already is then leave a comment below or contact me however you want to.
See ya!
