I personally liked DoW 1 and its expansions a lot better than DoW 2, I guess mainly because I play tons of RTS games and I enjoy the macromanagement instead of the constant pressing of buttons and careful use of cover in the second. To me it just didn't feel like a RTS.

Alphapod wrote:Dawn of War, Winter Assault, and Dark Crusade were good. I played through the DoW 2 campaing, and I didn't mind it. That said, the original is FAR better IMO. Definitely felt more like a RTS and, I felt, truer to the source material (although I was rather unhappy, having my Eldar Codex in hand, how many units were left out). Soulstorm really doesn't add anything tangible to the game; both DE and Sisters are mediocre at best, and it's pseudo-obvious if you look into it that they should have included Tyranids but didn't because of the impending DoW 2 release.

there is a ok mod that adds the Tyranids into DoW Dark Crusade, it was never completed, so some units still have proxy units from other armies, and they are slightly overpowered, but it's still a very fun mod overall:
