Their one major weakness is that as a turtle race, the Necron seem rather vulnerable to early rushes.

This has contributed to them becoming my favorite race in the game and (judging by the number of people playing them online) a lot of other people's as well. The Necron, on the other hand, completely reverse the usually aggressive strategic model of Dawn of War by focusing on base-building and the blitzkrieg. The Tau are basically a "shooter's army." They're all about hitting enemies at range with insanely powerful guns and moving long before enemies have a chance to hit back. The Tau is a multi-species coalition that offers new races the opportunity to join their police-state society or die. The Necron are remorseless, robotic killing machines designed to exterminate all life from the universe.

As a result, Dark Crusade can't help but feel like a half-step backwards despite being an exceptional expansion pack by almost any other measure.ĭark Crusade brings quite a few new things to Dawn of War, chief among them two new races, the Necron and the Tau. Then in 2006, Relic released Company of Heroes, an exceptional RTS based heavily on Dawn of War's gameplay formula but also improving on it. This was followed up by the Imperial Guard-themed Winter Assault, an excellent expansion that addressed a lot of the weaknesses of the original game. Dawn of War was a brilliant way to take the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game and translate the essence of its insanely violent universe into a top-flight RTS. When the original game was released back in 2004, I fell in love with it.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is a rather unusual game.
