That was an amazing trailer. CA really got the dank tone right.
Evocative trailer but nothing tops the original.

Makes sense to me - just an additional strategic layer pregame.

I thought DoW 2's emphasis on squad based combat was refreshing. Don't know why base building is such a big deal... Hardly even missed it in DoW 2. Skirmish mode was brilliant but goddamn that learning curve. It's a shame most Dow 2 players never bothered to give it a chance
Also, the campaign in DoW2 and especially chaos rising was brilliant. I loved how the rpg mechanics of character progression and loot was tied into the story.

Amazing trailer but I hope Chaos are in it. If it's only 3 races that's a bummer.

I'm pumped for Dawn of War 3, I poured so many hours into DOW 2 and it was one of the best RTS games I've ever played.

Those eldar units need to thin their paints.

Hmmm... those 'screenshots' don't actually look like screenshots now I see them at non-postage stamp size, they look like concept art
e: or if they are screenshots, DoW3s art direction has gone fully hand painted textures a la WoW

Hmm game surely looks more colorful than I expected.
I'm quire partial to the Tau myself.
My introduction to the War40 universe was Warhammer 40k: Fire Warrior for the pc.
May have to build a new PC for this

The bright color is most likely from multiplayer mode.

Ah the Lexicanum, I read a lot about W40K in this site. But what about books, novels, etc? Are they good?

It looks like a mix of the DoW1 and DoW2 gameplay systems.
Should be good, so long as the heroes are balanced with the cannon-fodder grunts.
My only other concern is avoiding a clusterfuck of micromanagement hell, but it sounds like they're trying to make it easy to see what's going on (e.g. exaggerated tracer fire).
I really like the idea of having disposable units fighting alongside persistent heroes.
I really liked the 'loot game' aspects of DoW2. I completed the chaos expansion a couple of times and ended up with very different heroes because of the diverging upgrade/loot paths.
I assume the canon ending of DoW2:CR will involve your Captain being a good guy.

What if they did big expansions with 3-faction campaigns for each?
What would you want to see?
Expac 1 - Chaos, Dark Eldar, Tau
Expac 2 - Tyranids, Imperial Guard, Necrons

After looking at it some more...only 3 elite slots that you have to decide on before the battle, a "dota 2" inspired hero system, no unit appearance variety (so far), 3 races only, extremely bright colours that are out of place (as in lacking detail), Imperial Knights forced in for some reason, a simplified cover system, their "most accessible RTS yet" when the original wasn't complicated at all, "close detail has been sacrificed"...
The base building & scale sound great, but that other stuff is a concern. I really hope those don't let it down.

So you mean the singleplayer mode will have darker and more gloomy tone of color?
With that format I'd rather Guard, Tau, Nids first, followed by Chaos, Necrons and either Dark Elder or the Inquisition.
