I dunno, I think is it pretty good overall. It is a small dev team with a mild budget and I think they did great. I really like most Slitherine games I bought.

Me too, starting from the old Matrix house that become Slitherine. Anyway they sold the entire game for 100+ euros, that's wrong. It creates in us the expectations of a much better and more powerful DoW, while it's not. It's most making leverage on our passion for this particolar title and universe. Should it be, I dunno, 'Ants vs Spiders' exact graphics price and mechanics, no one would buy. Meybe me and you :D

u are not alone. look at many of the old topics after release and look at the playerspike after every new dlc. cut content and updates taking to long... SP mode in co op would give this game triple the playerbase. i dont know why the focus was always on multiplayer dlcs and updates. the only real hope will be the update somewhere in the future for the singleplayer content, but soulstorm and DOW2 have activ co op/multiplayer for a reaseon, i mean u can run DOW2 Last Stand anytime and u will find a lobby quick

Looks like we, as human civilization, can only create lesser quality day by day. Our technic improve but insthead of boosting production, we focus on buying again and again the same tools with shorter life, and sell and buy hundred of low level games.
Recently I played Syndicate wars from 1996 and many old Close Combat series. What a quality, what a detail.
Could we at least have the modding tools, I'd lose 2 hours of sleep every night, brother : (
And I have family and a hard chatachan-style work! XD
About multi, you're right. Look at titles like Fireteam elite or that Superhearth game. I worked with a matrix team once on CC panthers in the fog, they were no more than 5-10 developers per game, each one with a skill, and the coordination was poor. Many, many developing errors, and their main focus was game stability, not content quality. Looks the same here.
Thanks mate :)

Be the change you want to see.
